As a former department director here is how it works:
They are working on the formula that the dictated minute equals about 11 lines. This would be right in the ballpark because ops usually work out to about 14 lines per dictated minute and other types of reports with the exception of pathology and radiology work out to about 10 lines or so per dictated minute. A good average would be about 12.5, but you are probably going to have to answer phones and deal with other distractions, so they have given some leeway for extraneous issues you will deal with including time for breaks, lunch, research, etc. So to compute how much you would make in a day multiply the rate she told you they pay per minute times 90 and then divide by 8 to figure your hourly rate. If you want to figure out what they are paying per line, their minimum is about 990 lines per day based on the formula I outlined above.
