My CCM says we have not been paid for headers all this time - L&L


Posted: Sep 13, 2010

but I could absolutely swear I have an email from her ages ago that said we were.  I may spend some of my vacation going through my 350,000 MQ emails to find this.

Does anyone really know.  If we weren't; I'm really PO'd I spent any time on them.

we are paid for the letters not the / or > signs - NJA Queen

Headers VS Headings - CCM correct

[ In Reply To ..]
We do not get paid for headers, which is the patient demographics/ADT info; something we don't see when we type the report. We do get paid for the red XML tagged headings.

Thank You! - MT

Somewhere along the line, they started calling headings "headers." I don't know why. There are headers and footers, both of which transfer into the report on the back-end. Headings, on the other hand, are headings in a report. A lot of people make that mistake and it causes a lot of confusion.

From "Cool Hand Luke" Sort of appropriate...this IS like working on a chain gang, and I suppose you could say MQ has even put us in "the box."

As An IC, Is It Really An Option To Get Paid On Time?
Nov 05, 2009

I'm just curious. I have worked as an IC and an employee. With the last job I took as an IC, I remember in the interview the woman speaking with me said "and the woman you'll be working for always pays on time." At the time, I thought that was rather odd. I mean, why would someone need to say that? Of course I get paid on time. Just like they expect their work done on time. Well it was a huge red flag that I ignored, because then on 4 different occasions over the next 10 months I didn& ...

Why Are We Not Paid For Time Spent Waiting For A Job?
Mar 29, 2013

I saw this on the Nuance board. What am I missing here?

See the section under "waiting time." http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs22.htm ...

Headers
Nov 17, 2011

I know this has been here on the past but for some reason I still feel very suspicious about this.  Can anyone enlighten me if we are paid for headers?  I know somewhere around the time when they came out with the magnificient rewards plan I remember reading we do not get paid for headers that were not in their little Control-H box or whatever they call.  If you had to make up a heading that was not in the headers box we did not get paid for this.  Can anyone please let ...


"unpaid Time Off" For Production-paid Employees

Looking to find out from others if this "UTO" is a normal industry-wide policy for production-paid transcriptionists who are not paid for time when lines are not turned in; example, storms, power outages, company's platform down, etc.  Losing pay and bonuses for not working the same hour twice and getting paid for once.  Losing time for sleep, family and medical regimen, too.  What is the norm out there?  This just started recently.  Don't mind not being paid f ...

Anyone Know How To Make Different Headers On

I have a bunch of follow-up notes and the doc wants each note on a different page all in one document.  The problem is some of these individiual notes end up being two pages.  Anyone know how to make second page headers for each patient like this?  I would like to keep the actual document header and not just space down under the header and put one in, if that makes sense.  Oh, and it's Word 2003.  Thank you! ...

Must You Be Paid For "no-work" Time? Depending On
May 11, 2015

First, understand that there are two sets of labor laws and regulations - Federal, and those of each state depending on where you live, not where the MTSO is located.  Your MTSO must comply with BOTH the state laws and regs that apply to YOU, and of course those at the Federal level as well. The "no-work" situation will usually fall under what's more commonly called "on-call" time, and most states have very specific regulations regarding compensation that must be paid for "on-call" ti ...


Transcend - Do They Pay For Headers In Reports?
Dec 09, 2009

I tried to verify my line counts by doing a copy and paste into word from their system.   The only way I can come close is if I exclude all those "automatic" headers that are included in the templates.   Does anyone else experience that?   This really knocks a lot of characters out of my reports.    ...

Headers And Footers In Line Counts
May 28, 2011

Kind of stumped on this one.  I just recently started working for a company that does both VR and straight typing.  Luckily, have been doing more straight typing than VR, but noticed that after I did 20 or so reports my line counts were around 600-750 lines for those 20 reports.  Well I found out that the headers are not counted in our lines even though we may have to enter a date and sometimes even the patient name.  I was told by one of the supervisors that this is "now the ...
