Warning to MTs - Disgusted

Posted: Feb 23rd, 2017 - 10:41 pm

Did you all know that when you are paid by the line, you are supposed to be paid minimum wage (per the state where your company is headquartered) for waiting time during your shift, while waiting for another report to drop into your box? In my case,  I could sit at my computer 12 hours, yet transcribe only 60-90 minutes; the rest was all waiting time. 

My company was not paying the minimum wage for waiting time so I filed a complaint with the Department of Labor. Their findings? They could not verify my waiting time; the only time records the company kept was the amount of time I was actually transcribing. Furthermore, the Department of Labor says they can not force my company to log my work shifts.  So - before you take a job, be sure that your company has a time clock logging your entire work shift. And be sure they are paying you for waiting time.
