Does anyone know how many times you are - anon

allowed to use the F11 key?  Is it once a day or a certain percentage of your lines? 

I don't think it matters - except that you will only be

If you use the F11 key, you are paid transcription rate.

I am not going to be afraid to do this now.
I was told opposite by QA super - So tired

I was told by my QA supervisor that if I use the F11 key, I would get paid the ASR rate even though I was doing transcription. However, if I emailed my QA super and immediate super about the problem, they would contact the proper people so I would get paid transcription rate.

I know for a fact that this is not true. After you F11, if you look in your stats for the day, the job is listed as "transcribed" and not "corrected." I have always been paid my typing rate and have never notified anyone, although I have probably only done it 2-3 times a month since I keep forgetting about the function.

I have done this a few times already and when I check my statistics the job is always under transcription, not correction. So it definitely is transcription rate.

I asked my QTL the same thing last week and she said "she didn't think" there was a limit, although I vaguely remember there being one. I would like to know to. She was supposed to run some type of log report and get back to me but she has not yet.

i thought it was 10 times a month - aquamarine

It's stated somewhere in the ME job description. I have often gone over the 10 and not had any problems, though.

The recent ad onthe Job Wanted Board for Oncology scribes prompted me to check a couple of employment search sites.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that there were many ads for, not just "Scribes" but now for "Scribe/Medical Transcriptionist."  There are facilities looking for people they can hire directly to input in real time to their EMS.  There were several for Oncology and Emergency Medicine.  Have they finally seen the light??   MTSOs are trying to sell us ...

TeamWork Question About Our Times

A few times already I noticed that Teamwork sometimes changes my times.  Today I clocked in at "9:06" and I diligently wrote down the time as I always do.  When I went to clock off, it said my clock-in time was "9:07."  I read somewhere that our times are rounded to the nearest minute but then why isn't it always done?  ...


Let Go Three Times And Called Back Again

Why does an employer, who let you go three times in three different type of work settings, yet call me back again to work for them? It is like they had a layoff a year ago with all this BS in mind. They have to know that I would hate to go back there with all this wishy-washy stuff; it is almost like they did it on purpose so that it would be a year and they could see if they could get something for nothing. I am having enough trouble trying to get out of this insane "career" without this type o ...

Pay Rate Not Keeping Up With The Times
Jan 20, 2011

I have been an MT since 1986. I would like to know why the MT industry does not raise pay rates for MTs to keep up with the rising cost of living? Are we expected to just work longer hours in order to raise our pay? I see job openings offering 7 cpl! This is ridiculous! I have never made more than 9.5 cpl.  We all know the companies are raising their contract rates for clients and making a killing, so why is our industry becoming such a slave-driving industry and what can we do about it? Ye ...

Has Anyone Filed Bankruptcy And Foreclosure During These Hard Times
