Fiesa fiasco had a bad report show up - nn

Posted: Dec 23, 2012

Well, I had a bad report show up. Was not running at 100% anyway and now this puts me just a hair under 98%. Am I likely to be terminated or what is likely to happen?

They don't fire you, you just don't get bonus for 3 months. NM - anon

NO BONUS? - FastMT

No bonus for 3 months?? I thought they figured this weekly and paid it out every 2 weeks??

No incentive pay, either. If you earn it for the next 3 - months, they will THEN start paying for it.

With savings like that, is it any wonder so many of us have trouble staying qualified?

Nope, you get a quarterly QA score - anon

For instance if you get below 99% from October 1st through December 31st, you will not get incentive bonus from January 1st through March 31st.

It is all done quarterly.

there are 2 possible incentive bonuses... - anon

One is weekly, and one is quarterly... it was all just in that new recorded presentation a few weeks ago along w/ the actual #s needed to hit each one.

Actually , that is not correct. - anon

There are 2 bonuses and BOTH are linked to quarterly QA scores. One is paid biweekly based on your quarterly scores.

One is paid quarterly based on quarterly QA score.

Your post audit QA score is done quarterly and will be used for BOTH bonuses.

The only difference is when they are paid out and the score necessary to achieve them. The quarterly score you need for the biweekly pay-out is 99%. The score needed for the quarterly pay out is 99.5% or higher.

One is a 99+% QA pay incentive applied to all lines, up to a "raise" - of 2cpl, the other is a 100% QA bonus.nm

Based on QUARTERLY QA scores, not biweekly scores. - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
If you get a 99% or higher quarterly QA score the bonus is paid based on line count every 2 weeks.

A 99.5% quarterly QA score gets you a bonus of 10% of total pay for the quarter you got 99.5%.

OR

A 100% quarterly QA score gets you a bonus of 15% of total pay for the quarter you got 100%.

All bonuses are based on Quarterly Post Audit scores.

What's the difference, if - MT

They make it impossible to achieve because of arbitrary scoring, and making sure a lot of people never meet those numbers...

Nope. sm. - Been there more than once.

No termination. As the other poster stated, just no bonus for 3 months. I had received a note from my supervisor letting me know about the low score and how I should try getting the score up to earn the bonus. Nothing threatening. I think if it happens too often, we get put on performance review status.

Got an email from my supervisor this morning to the effect that "we're only at 8-% compliance. We need to get our scores up." Personally, I don't care. As has been stated so many times, FIESA is demoralizing and demeaning to MLS. I for one am sick of it and refuse to sign off. ...

After experiencing horrendous outcomes with the Fiesa Fiasco since December, I thought I had seen it all. Nope... This week, I was audited on a report that although had my ID#, was not one I had typed, or even an account I work on. This was the ONLY report audited for the pay period, and was right at 98%; AND the ONLY REPORT AUDITED FOR THE PAY PERIOD, go figure. Now it's been 4 days since I discovered this error, my time card has NOT been corrected, I have been sent our infamous "m ...

I checked my Fiesa today just after my shift and saw a report that was supposedly done by me, even had my HRID number, but I did NOT transcribe this report. I only worked 3 hours today and I would have remembered this one. It was a very, very long report, and I ONLY got a bunch of short ones today. I did not do this report. It also was a WT I rarely get and definitely did NOT get today. I tried to be open and so I really looked at it, thinking maybe I ...

a report with poor sound quality and one of the worst dictators I have ever come across in my 15 years as an MT. She was ESL (of course though they aren't all bad), and she kept changing her mind, talking to other people around here, dictating at the speed of light....you get it.....So, apparently I misheard her say "hemoglobin 7" instead of 11. As you all know, that is a critical error. And I guess it IS---However, in the case where the dictator speaks ...

with lots of blanks because of poor quality. What happens? I get hit with MULTIPLE invalid blanks. That is ridiculous. Would they rather have me guess. I don't care if everybody else in the company can hear it, if I can't then I WILL NOT guess just to keep from having to send it to QA or QC or whoever gets it. There is nothing whatsoever constructive about FIESA. All it does is stress people out. ...

I recently had 0.25 error in FIESA for having "complaining of lateral-sided pain" instead of "complaining of left lateral-sided pain." The comment that the reviewer made was "Downgraded as clear throughout the report." What does that mean exactly? I rarely ever see any comments at all from them. It's usually just whatever the error was and that's it. Maybe I'm just having a brain fart moment here, but I don't understand what this comment means. Any insight would be ...

Okay, I'm new so I am not making much yet. Can we all just make a post saying how many hours we work, what we gross, how long you've been transcribing, and whether it is vr or st? Don't name your company. This way we can guage what we can expect to be making down the line. I've been transcribing for 2 months. This week I worked 37 hours and grossed $259.00 and it was 90% VR. ...

So I went in to check my FIASCO while I was OOW. Stupid QA took "Patient has undergone biopsy" to "Patient has underwent biopsy." These things have to come from India with a mistake like that.

Okay, maybe a tiny bit to do with it but It's weird I was kinda an MM "liker" not lover, but after the Ch. 11 announcement and the non notification thing with the coding program, I find myself being very unmotivated to give it more than my minimum effort right now. It seems so pointless to do anything more. Kind of found the events this week eye opening regarding this place. Yeah, go ahead, tell me you told me so, I can take it. ...

Which is supposed to pay more, but has disgustingly bad all ESL. They "allowed" us 30 minutes to read the new account specs and then threw us like red meat to the lions, DSP immediately.

Why do companies call you and if you are not there they leave a number. Then when you call back they are not there. You tell them that you are interested, but they never call back. I even called back twice and never got a call back. Plus I have had companies send me e-mails that they are interested and fill out the form. Then I never here anything. What is up with all this? ...

In searching the web for a new job I keep running into federal and state stats that say the low end salary of a newbie transcriptionist is $14 and high end is $24. They must be talking American dollars because Indians make $0.78 an hour. They also say it is a growing field (so much so it's spilling into the sea and floating to India) and there is a high demand for experienced medical transcriptionists (!?) Where the heck do they get their outdated information??? I f ...

Did anyone see the show Undercover Boss last night? Do ya think the suits at MQ would do that - ha, never would be a consideration for them -- if any of them did see it, they probably laughed. They don't realize and don't care to realize what we do to fill their pockets. Bottom line for them is money in their pockets and the big bonuses they get for signing papers and closing those deals that don't benefit the MT at all -- the ones who are keeping the profit going for them.� ...
