consider opening an office for medical transcriptionists:

â��Well, we sorta have.â��

I think the medical transcription service organization industry's gravy train is just about to derail. ;)

Laughing at the one dislike. I am so sure it is from a blissfully happy medical transcriptionist.

Does anyone know if former Webmedx MTs can join this suit, or are there former Webmedx MTs already involved? Also, are any of the current claimants currently employed by Nuance and/or were you given a difficult time?

who can join - justanotherMLS

My understanding is that to be eligible to join this lawsuit, you had to work for Transcend Services as an MT at some time in between the period of 2009 and currently. My understanding is that if you did not work for Transcend, then you do not qualify. However, I would still contact the attorney by email (you can get his email off that link or personal message me) and ask him just in case I am wrong in my interpretation. I did join the lawsuit, but left Transcend in favor of a better company.

Participants were required to opt-in and that period --sm - anon

has expired. However, a separate law suit could be brought if people are willing to pursuit it.

My question would be this... - exnuanceslave

[ In Reply To ..]
Since Nuance acquired Transcend, and our paychecks/stubs reflect Transcend as our employer, do we qualify for participation in the suit?

If Nuance acquired Transcend, then you are - a Nuance employee. nm

Those of us who worked for Transcend before the Nuance buyout are actually still Transcend employees, which is why our paycheck says this. We are employees of Transcend "doing business as" Nuance. Since Transcend is a "wholly owned subsidiary" of Nuance, the point is kind of moot. In any case, it doesn't matter as far as the lawsuit. As someone else pointed out, the deadline for opting to be included in the suit passed a long, long time ago.

Who do you put as your employer when you - fill out your tax forms?

Wait for it . . . . - Nuance is next

I've personally spoken with Kevin Dolley, and as soon as the Transcend lawsuit wraps up they are considering a lawsuit against Nuance. He asked me to save all documentation from my employment with Nuance until after they finish their current lawsuit since there are a couple of years before the statute of limitations would kick in. So, if you work for Transcend DBA Nuanc and you were not a Transcend employee, save your documentation and hang on our time is coming.

The good news is, if this case sets a precedent - for the MTs, other cases will follow. ;)

I recently got out of MT, but I hung onto all my documentation and work logs, with the hope that I'll be able to sue my former company in the future for all the overtime I worked and was never paid for.

What is really needed is a Fiesa lawsuit... - My2cents

[ In Reply To ..]
where Nuance is sued for the amount of time MTs spend off the clock reading those numerous audits, researching "errors" only to find incorrect scores, documenting the incorrect count-offs, etc. Now THAT would be a suit that should send a strong message to stop the 100+ audits in a month on people unless you're going to pay them for their time to deal with it.

IMHO, not to mention many other things that being only paid for production that we do that we don't get credit for...pend notes, on average I do at least 20 a day due to the account being a mandatory pend for many things. Emails that we have to do to notify managers of if there are problems with reports, IMs concerning stats or other issues with a report, etc. They all add up over a 2-week pay period....Fiesa, Enrich, emails, pend notes, etc. They say that that is averaged in our pay. If that were true, we are being paid very little then for producing a report.

Excellent points! - NM

Hi everyone I just wanted to stop by really quick and let you all know that finally, FINALLY I am off QA. I was given two accounts today in addition to the one they had initially given me.

If you don't wish to hear anything further about the lawsuit, please stop reading now. For those of you still here, it is my understanding that Nuance has used the same tactics as Transcend -- asking you to alter your time cards, reviewing your QA on your own time, "hands-only on the keyboard," etc. If this is the case, PLEASE contact the attorneys that are assisting the 'Grand 13.' You have a case as well and do NOT let this opportunity pass by to make your statement loud ...

I was never this depressed when I worked for Transcend.

Now I feel like at least Transcend gave a damn once in a while, unlike Nuance. Every weekly change I see benefits Nuance, not the employee. Sorry, I just had to vent.

Fighting Nuance would be just the same as the current Transcend Lawsuit. For those who are not involved, the latest news did not look good. They are trying to get it thrown out on the basis that because we are independent contractors kind of, the situations vary greatly and we should not be allowed to file as one unit. The attorneys for Transcend feel each MLS should file separately. Well, since we make slave wages, who the hell could ever afford an attorney? So, they have found every way p ...
