NEWS!! An Attorney has agreed to take this case!

There are nothing but a bunch of highly hateful and bitter MTs on here. Wow!! I think you all need therapy! ...

I have agreed to take a position with Opti-Script. Can anyone provide any recent information about this company good or bad on what to expect with the Dictaphone Ex-Text platform? Thanks. ...

Why is the above subject not hyphenated whereas father-in-law is hyphenated as per the 2nd edition of the Book of Style? Anybody with the correct answer? Thanks, confused. ...

I'm working for a company that I feel is gyping me over on pay. I am a very experienced MT, working for a company...they have me on over 15 accounts and using over 6 different platforms. I work the graveyard shift and cover all stats. I get paid $1.20 a report (radiology and cardiology). My base rate pay is $12.44 an hour. Sometimes I can only type 4-5 reports in an hour (long cardiology and ESL doctors who you can't understand). I can type up to 20 ...

If there are any MTs/MLSs who live in PA, northern Ohio who work for M-Modal, please contact me. I can get the party started for all of you with an Employment Rights Law Firm to see if you indeed have a case against the company. Sounds like you may have a case; I've already spoken with my attorney who is handing another case for me and he is interested in pursuing these types of cases, particularly those who are not being paid for work-related duties. ...

I don't work for MQ but it sure looks like something is going on or about to go on that is not going to be to the benefit of the MTs. Some months back an MT successfully sued an MTSO for a settlement of $98, 421.88 (yeah, I know!). I printed off the attorney's name just in case I need it in the future. Here it is: Rob Wiley Law office of Rob Wiley, P.C. 1825 Market Center Blvd. Suite 385 Dallas, Tx 75207 (tel. 214-528-6500). Good luck, you guys! ...

I am in the process of checking with a Texas Attorney about all of this. Has anyone who has been fired done so? ...

I am wondering if anyone else has contacted a labor attorney regarding the legality of being forced to either sit at your computer for hours on end, use PTO time or risk being fired for their inability to provide work for us? I have an appointment to speak with one, but I was just wondering if anyone else had looked into this and the outcome? This just is really starting to feel like a sweatshop. ...

Hi, If you have used an attorney to collect payment on an invoice as an IC, I am curious to know how long it took to obtain payment and if you pursued any other damages such as the attorney's fees, bank charges incurred, etc., etc. and how long the process took. I am out of patience with a small MTSO who pays consistently 1-4 days after payday and ready to pursue any and all avenues necessary to obtain payment since pay is late again and I have received no repsonse to my inquiries r ...

Should "durable power of attorney" be typed in uppercase? ...

Piece rate â�� The regular rate of pay for an employee paid on a piecework basis is obtained by dividing the total weekly earnings by the total number of hours worked in that week. The employee is entitled to an additional one-half times this regular rate for each hour over 40, plus the full piecework earnings. Example: An employee paid on a piecework basis works 45 hours in a week and earns $315. The regular rate of pay for that week is $315 divided by 45, or $7.00 an hour. In addition to ...

I know exactly what you mean but I dont know the exact wording so now I have to go back and look at old reports and try and figure it out..and then make a shortcut for it cause you always talk like a dumbass...If you would talk like a human you would find your reports get done faster and more accurately.. Do they realize that we type over 100 different doctors on any given day or do they really think we are their personal transcriptionists..Someone needs to tell them how to talk..These companie ...

I don't think there is a k in the renal arteries. I just can't understand what he is saying. Confirmatory angiography s/l --into the k --showed wide patency of the renal arteries and excellent run-off with both hypogastrics patent. ...

I know I'm fortunate to have the job I have and to be able to work from home, but I have a serious case of bunout! I've been trascribing for 25 years and have been looking for another career after recently graduating. In the meantime, I have to transcribe. Anyone have any techniques they use to overcome burnout? It seems it takes all I have lately to sit in my chair and transcribe, and I hate feeling this way! ...

I read this message board from time to time but have never posted but am looking for advice. Last fall I lost a full time job at a bank - which caused me to sincerely doubt my self-confidence as an employee. I then started the career step MT program and am currently about 60% compete. I recently applied and accepted a job at a local, very busy gift/general merchandise store. I like the job. It pays $9 per hour and is about 30 hours a week. There aren't any benefits. I believe I ...

Very interesting article! ...

will tell you one more time what they just did to me. In my former BOB was back up to about $18/hour, getting kudos for having 100% accuracy on many reports. Then switched to a new BOB. After working for about 24 hours on the account I was audited, failed at 98.1% and immediately put on 100% QA at which point I quit. Previously I had been audited once a month (and sometimes went for months without an audit) and when I occasionally failed, was given another month to "improve." I was making 1 ...

Spoke to someone last night that had a friend fired for Christmas. Not a transcriptionist, but a medical biller in Florida..Their work was outsourced to Pakistan..And to add insult to injury her company actually tried to tell her she had to stay and train her replacement..This is the future of anything medical, and probably anything that can be done from a remote location.. ...

There's a post buried below regarding overtime and a case lost by Keystrokes in Texas. A KS poster (probably the owner) states "It is a lie". It's not a lie. Here's the publicly accessible truth. The link for the original charges is listed below this post. The Final Judgment 6/19/09 is below and states that all Keystrokes employees must be informed. These files are open to the public to view. -------------------------------------------------------- ...

This is a patient who has a poor fitting prosthesis and developed an ulceration on his leg. It sounds like the doctor states prothesis case will probably be windowed? Does this make sense to anyone? ...

After readings these boards, I have to say I must be either be an extreme case or lucky. I have been an MT for about 20 years. I have worked both in-house and at home, being at home the last 7 years. I have worked for both MTSOs and independently. I have to say I work part-time for 2 companies (small MTSOs) as an IC and love it. I have done so for about 2 years now and know what my day looks like by 9 a.m. every morning and plan accordingly. Yes, ther ...

A lot of the standards are single spaced, whether they are supposed to be or not.. if you go to the top panel there are a pair of binoculars the icon NEXT to it on the right is a find and replace feature,,,you can type in any say word that is consistently wrong and then type it correctly in the replace box and it will fix the whole document...Same can be done for punctuation put in there . (one space) and in the find replace put the . (two spaces) and hit the button, fixe ...

While some of us are on Food Stamps, earning pennies and being nickeled and dimed to death, the company we REALLY work for ...

Just curious to those who have been in this profession awhile and have become hurt as a result, have you filed and won or not won?

My hands and wrists swell up, I have twitches in all fingers, I drop things, cannot grip or open things, cannot write, wear splints, driving hurts. Just wondering other's experience with this. I have about 20 years until retirement so I need to keep working ...

I cannot believe this decision. Amazon forces their employees to wait in line to check if they are stealing stuff but will not pay them the half hour extra it takes. Sadly, this was a unanimous Supreme Court decision. From another article from Gawker: The ruling was unanimous. It means that workers are forced to spend an extra half hour per day at work for no pay. Reuters reports that "Justice Clarence Thomas wrote on behalf of the court that the screening process is not a 'principal ac ...

current date into the body of the report, it's puts the WRONG date. For example, I just noticed that it put 11/08/2010, and of course it's 08/10/2010. So, I may have been inserting the incorrect address until noticing this. Does this happen with anyone else or just me? Is it a stupid "upgrade" glitch.......or is it just another way that QA can ding us and get us below 98%. I hate sounding so paranoid, but that is what working for MQ has done to me.&n ...
