Once again, we get another e-mail notice that if we make a mistake of any sort we will not be paid for an entire report.
I totally understand the need for accuracy, but this company does not do a true QA review of each MTs/MEs reports. They do not pull X amount of reports per a specified time frame and perform a QA audit. One has no idea how they would rate you on a proper QA score.
They do have have a rating per pay period for work that includes what must be sent to the QA department for various account specifications due to problems with a report. This could be missing demographic information, problems that the dictator created, things that are totally beyond an MT/MEs control. This "score" could eliminate your production bonus, although it is by no means whatsoever a QA assessment of any kind.
The notices that we will not be paid for a report for an error are frequent. So help me, the day I do not get paid for an entire report for one mistake will be my last day.
Of note, there is no graded increase in pay for the most difficult work types or dictators.
Also, the person who sends out these e-mails has absolutely no clue how to perform our job. Contrary to what she says, she does not have experience as an MT/ME.
