A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I worked for MD-IT for 3+ years. I started out full time but this past summer switched to part time because I have two smalll chidren at home My supervisor said it was competely fine and when I wanted to switch back over, just let her know and she would take care of it. I had not switched back over to full time because of some family issues but was planning on doing this starting this January, which my supervisor also knew. Over the summer, I started noticing that I was getting less and less work and that girls from other accounts were just jumping onto mine - even when my accounts were caught up and they were even working the folllowing few days work! I kept asking for more work or more accounts and more and more work. I even volunteered at least 3 weekend days every month for hospice just to sit and watch and see if something came in to type - if not, there was no pay involved even though you had to kind of stick by the computer, but it was worth it because there was always the chance that work would come through! I needed the $$. Then this past December they accused me of cheating on my time sheet which is pretty impossible since its all there in the computer and I would never do that anyway! I take pride in my work and integrity as a person and as an MT. Also, my QA scores were always around 99.5 and I'd even gotten 99.9 a few times. Any way, the next time I submitted my time sheet, I went over it 3 times to make sure that it all added up correcty so I would not get accused again of trying to "cheat" because I was told if it happened again we would have a manditory phone conversation and posssible "disicipinary action". About 1/2 hour after submitting my time sheet, my superviser told me it was rejected because I had put down FIVE days that I didn’t work and therefore my line counts were way off. I told her I DID work every single day I put down and went in to look and was totally shocked to see them completely wiped out - all 5 days and alll that hard work and line counts - GONE. (Just the week before this happened, my supervisor offered me another account - a new one coming in and I jumped on it and said DEFINITELY AND I CAN START FULL TIME ON IT IMMEDIATEY NEXT WEEK.) Lucky for me, I had one report with a blank on it for one of the days I was acccused of not working - and my own supervisor had corrected the blank but instead of standing up for me, she took away my accounts the next time I went in to work. I asked her what was up and she said we had to have a manditory phone conversation and then picked a time she knew I would not be able to make it because I had to be at the bus stop for my 6-year-old son at that exact time. I asked if we could reschedule, didn’t hear anything back and so told her and HR that if they were going to fire me, why waste time - just email me so she emailed me and said they no longer had any work for part time people and they were getting rid of all the part time workers - incuding me - even though the week before I stated I wanted to go back full time. So telll me, anyone out there - ARE THERE STILL PART TIME WORKERS at MD-IT/Command Health?
Because of the way I was treated with this company (and I have 15+ years in transcription) I have decided to switch to a new career. I have NEVER been accused of lying or cheating when THEY WERE THE ONES DOING IT - although its funny because they did pay me the correct amount in my paycheck that those 5 days would have added up to plus my other days. Hmmmmmm. And I was never, ever let go or fired from a job and the reason for it - total and utter nonsense - and also they way they handled it was totally unprofessional! I actually have an attorney looking into it.
I'd love to hear back from anyone who has experienced anything like this with this company and if there is anyone there working part time still. Thank you!
