Hey Smartmed employees - question !! - mt2

Posted: Dec 24, 2012

Has anyone actually been charged $5 per report for skipping? They keep threatening this and I was told they actually charged someone close to $50 for skipping reports.

wish every company would do this... - sick of doing all the garbage myself

But most companies dont care who gets stuck with the junk and they even assign the best work to the people they like the best.

I totally agree with you. - nm

Not a good idea. They would charge everyone except - anon

All the supervisors and 'favs' would not experience this as they assign themselves that which makes them go faster and make the most. You,on the other hand....yes, you would get charged the 5 dollars...but since you work at home...what can you prove?? Nothing. More ammo for them. Plus you know they assign all the horrible work, yet they say they don't.

OMG, OMG, OMG, what next with this occupation - Nina

what a scam these companies have become. Scam wages and now this.

Exactly! - sm

They already make it impossible to get a decent line count and then to be charged to work for them. What a crock!

If they need to address skipping reports, then address it, discipline the offenders in some way but to make a blanket statement like that is just off the wall. Reminds me of the entire class losing recess because the class clown is acting out again for attention. It all sounds so juvenile and unfair.

That would be a PERFECT xmas gift - sm

That would be soooo great. Tell me it isn't just a dream. If one company does start doing it, others might follow suit.

Isn't this illegal? sm - curiousmt

If you did the work, albeit out of order, how can they "charge" you for skipping a report? Good question for the DOL.

I think its an empty threat, considering the owner. - if true, she does not deserve our help. NM

I was just curious about what employees thought of Nuance on Glassdoor. You read several US employee opinions and they reflect the morale listed on MTStars. Scroll further down and read the opinions of the transcriptionists from India. What a difference. They are highly satisfied with their jobs and most have been working with Nuance for 6 to 7 years. The US transcriptionists are very sad!! What a difference..... ...

I see they have an ad. I worked there but left for family tragedy. I am giving them an unsolicited endorsement. Wonderful, friendly women. they do have teaching accounts so not for newbies. If you want to work for a good company and deal with sane individuals, I recommend them. I did not make tons of money there (but where can you anymore) but it was certainly refreshing to deal with adults. ...

I see there are 2 dislikes on the Smartmed job listing that was posted tonight. I sent in my resume a little bit after it was posted and before I saw that. Anyone work for them currently? I couldn't find much in the archives about them. My only problem is that I have no recent acute care experience, I did work at a hospital from 1995 to 1997 and the rest of the time I have done various clinic jobs. I just want to break into a company and get some acut ...

sort of things you're getting QA'd for, to compare notes. For instance, I'm new to VS, and I tend to leave in double words. I think what's happening is that I hear it, so my mind just blocks out the extra one and I don't see it. I spend a lot of energy trying to out-guess the QA, but no matter what I put in certain instances, I'm marked off. If I put "The patient," then she fills in the name. If I put the name, then she puts "The patien ...

I'd like to know how you are all dealing with it. Do you sit and wait on work during your scheduled shifts without getting paid? Have any of you filed for unemployment due to lack of work?

Someone jumps on this board, fires it all up by saying to use F11 for every ASR job, and then calls their CCM to say "read the MTstars board" and then they go check who is doing it and fires them, all the while the pot-stirrer looks all cutsie in the CCMs eyes and more work opens up for the pot-stirrer?Maybe it is my wild imagination, but it seems like all that "stop typing for a day" and if that does not work, then "stop typing for 2 days," and "use F11 for all ASR jobs," all feels so not ...

How is your workload going? I know there are a lot of acute care people who run out of work a lot, or get thrown in the cesspool, but what about the radiology side? Does that run out all the time too? I was there for Rad and was considering going back because I need a job. I know the pay is not what I made there before. ...
