Being paid a lower amount than promised

Well, here we go again.....DSG has done exactly what I was promised, when I went to work for them almost seven years ago, that they would never do.....sell out to MQ or MModal, whatever their name is. I left MQ for a reason....because they are an awful company to work for and could care less about their employees. Promised work is not there....no one is ever available to help when you need it and if you complain they put a thumb down on you about your production or your accuracy and ...

hasn't been much promised at all. All we know is training will be intensive, if you leave the program you have to pay back MM an unknown amt, and you have to work for them for 2 years at unknown pay. The promises I see there are nothing to write home about. It is the unknowns, when answered, that will help me decide if this is what I want to do. And I agree with another poster, I will watchly closely what happens with this first group. Which brings to mind, if anyon ...

We were supposed to provide 3 job numbers with examples of the same errors being made over and over again. Well, I did just that with numerous jobs because of numerous errors. Not one stinking thing has been done. Does this mean my TSM was just whistling Dixie and blowing smoke and did nothing about the information I provided, or does it mean the ASR technicians were whistling Dixie, blowing smoking and did nothing? Why is no one held accountable for the mess that is called Nuance? ...

When I was laid off in November, Diskriter said they would pay all PTO earned up to that point. They only paid half of what they owed me. They will not respond to emails, phone calls or letters. Has anyone else had this issue? They have really sunk to the bottom of the barrel into the sewer! ...

I recently started working for a urologist who in the ad said that work would be daily, Mon-Fri two hours worth and they would be paying by the hour for it. I thought that would fit in great with my schedule. Well a few months later and I get work once or twice a week and they tell me how long it should take (in other words how much they are willing to pay). My last invoice was for about 150.00 for a month. It does not take me long to do it, but I'm not happy that th ...

Hi all, There is a discrepancy with the proper use of this - can anyone help? Some at my work are saying it should be bilateral lower extremities, whereas others think it is bilateral lower extremity since the "bilateral" implies that it's plural and hence no need to say "lower extremities." I've seen it both ways, but the more that I think about it the more I'm getting myself confused. Any input would be greatly appreciated! ...

Memo promised all those high producers who were making the incentive grade would be compensated in the form of a raise...anbody here get one? ...

Does anyone else suspect their company is fiddling with the software, thereby paying less to MTs for the same amount of work? I switched accounts last summer, within the same company, to a hospital that pays more, sure that my pay would increase. Lo and behold, I just noticed on my paycheck that I'll make about 5,000 to 8,000 less this year than last, and, if anything, I'm working more hours. Truly infuriating because there is no way to prove it. ...

Tuesday. I need to see how much "time" I need to make up to get my hours in....ugh! ...

ESL per account for .07 cents a line? I have been getting 2 in 3 ESL for the last 3 months now. Never used to be that way. Not just ESL, but difficult ESL that do 15 to 20 minutes at a time. They changed on me without saying anything. Is this a normal amount or am I being used? ...

Doctor says: "She is carrying about 12 to 15 thousand dollars in credit card debt." Do I put it $12 to $15 thousand, $12,000 or $15,000 or as above? Thanks. ...

I recently started with Zylomed and I am a 'floater'. Does anyone have any experience with this company and if there is enough work as a floater? I am trying to decide if I want to keep doing this or just take on some accounts that would be my own. Thanx!! (: ...

I've never been paid per audio minute. What would 1 dollar per audio minute come to if I can type 300 lines per hour? Does anyone have an equation I can plug the numbers in to or any idea what a ballpark figure would be for this? Thanks. ...

Hi there. Does anybody know what the going rate per audio minute is? I'm used to getting paid hourly. Thanks all! ...

Just wondering......I am an IC right now, but I have the opportunity to pick up some extra work from my own personal physician. He was asking if I could type some of his more complicated PFT reports that he does not want to do on the EMR program they have. I have not done any personal account work for a very very long time. Back when I had accounts....we would go pick up the cassette, print out the stuff and take it back. I was wondering if anyone out there has any person ...

I was curious if any other MTs are getting paid by the minute too. Replies are welcomed. I am required to get 131 minutes for an 8 hour shift. We get incentive if over. We also use VR, so that helps, and we have weighted doctors. Thanks, MeL ...

For say a syndrome, a drug, a doctor's name/address, facility name/address, etc.? If I think I can hear the dictation correctly I do spend an extended amount of time because I KNOW I can find it. However, if it is ify as to what I am hearing or the spellings could be a dozen different things, I ususally send to QA because if I am not sure - it's probably going to end up to QA anyway. I NEVER look up a doctor's name if the first name is not dictate ...

Well got taxes done and got back a lot less than last year yet made the same amount. Did they change something? This is so discouraging. ...

Since I did not get a gift card yet, I'm curious about the dollar amount on it. Please don't tell me its a $5 gift card to Starbucks. ...

Not sure if this is on the right board but it's about a general transcription question so I think so. Does anone have an idea of how many lines someone would type in an audio hour of transcription? Sorry if that sounds like a ditzy question but since I have always been paid by the line am wondering about being paid by the audio hour. Any input would be appreciated.This would be general transcription. ...

I swear the speech engine just makes up the output as it has no resemblence to what the doctor says! We got a note stating we were making too many errors and our quality had gone down, with a side note that QAM knows we are struggling to maintain our counts, but this does not matter. Every once in a while I get told to slow down. Heck,I doing the best with what I have and the fatigue of doing this all day. Only minor errors such as leaving in an extra pronoun or such. I don't ...

I'm wondering, how many reports on average are pulled each week for audit? Does anyone find it varies, for example, they may pull 1 or 2 one week then 7 or 8 (that are all 100% accurate) the next week, but keep pulling until they find something to knock down your accuracy rating for that pay week so you end up with 12 or 13 reports audited? ...

I started this job back in April, when this hospital decided to bring its transcriptionists back in-house. Small 200 bed hospital and they hired another person and myself. We both have 30 years experience, but she is more so clinic specialty (ophthalmology) and myself all acute-care with 10 of those years working for MTSO. There is no set minimum of lines nor minutes; however, the work is very much backlogged and now they are looking closer at our production as it relates to mi ...

I'm curious if this is throughout a lot of MT companies where the summer seasons are the slowest in terms of receiving work. I used to have an abundunt amount of doctors to transcribe for across multiple accounts, but now all of a sudden that has changed, and I am almost always out of work and I no longer transcribe for what I'm estimating as half to 3/4 of the list of docs. Is this something normal? Do doctors get together and take a 3-month hiatus at once, or something...? I'm p ...

I think it is very easy to see that with MT pay going lower and lower like 2.5 cpl that there will be very few MTs that stay in this business and who would even want to study to become an MT. This country has lost so many jobs overseas that I have no idea what the future will hold for many people to even try to find work. Unbelievable to think that we can survive in an American economy on wages that are paid overseas which is exactly what is happening. It is impossible to do.&n ...

Well I started with a new company this week and so far I have made $31 for the whole week. I have never done Radiology before and that was what they put me on. I am acute care but the hospital I used to work for had their own Radiology Dept, so th is is a new learning curve, plus new doctors, format, etc. By the time QA gets ahold of reports I feel ike a new student and I have over 35 years exp. I am beyond depressed. At least I can put on my resume Radiology ...

The lower extremities show marked peripheral varicosities. There are also some excoriated lesions of the lower extremities with some mild scarring secondary to __s/l "thorabnitis". Any ideas? This M.D. has a tendency to make up words, so he could be saying something totally different than how it sounds. Thanks ...
