Q.E.D. wants my birth date - mykira


Posted: Jul 14, 2013

I started the application for Q.E.D. Transcription and saw that the initial section requires a birth date. It won't stop me from applying, but isn't that a form of discrimination? I wish the MTSOs would at least provide a secure site when they require personal information such as physical address and phone.

Have they actually offered you the job? If not, they should not be asking for your birth date.

It's on the application! - mykira

Their initial application asks for this information. Even with an actual offer, I still think it's discriminatory and inappropriate, and I'm not even "old," whatever that is!

Name Of Birth Control Pills?

"State Certified" Birth Certificate
Apr 25, 2015

I took some pre-employment documents to a notary yesterday.  The birth certificate, issued by the hospital where I was born 62 years ago, I was told would not do for ID because it was not "state certified".  In order to get a state certified birth certificate, you have to have the notary certify they have seen my birth certificate, then the state issues one they call "certified".  This makes absolutely no sense to me and only delays employment.  Anyone else had this experienc ...

Write Out Date?
Mar 06, 2010

Does anyone know if there is a new rule in MQ land about never writing out the date, always making it numbers only?  I get back reports every once in a while with all the written dates crossed out and replaced with numbers yet the CP does not specify either way.  So, when a doctor states March 3, 2010..that is how I type it, if he states 03/03/2010, that is how I type it.  I am going to complain to my manager about this but I was wondering maybe I missed a new rule.  Tha ...

Question About The Date

In transcription, when a doctor dictates 12/4 or December 4th what is the correct way to type this? I need this information when I'm taking a test to find a job because the doctor has not been giving the year and from what information I've read I should type out the date as December 4th??   Another question I have is on a test if the doctor transcribes out of order such as first he says medications, and then next he says social history, and then next he says chief complaint, do ...

Anyone Remember The Date?

When was it they "capped" our pay, giving most of us a pay cut?  I meant to write it down (don't know why, but I usually record these things), but I never did and can't find the cheery e-mail informing us of our "new" rates!  I have all my pay stubs, but they're basically indecipherable. Anyone remember what month that was?     ...


They Can't Even Get The Date Right In Remedy For NJA.
Mar 02, 2013

Time zone isn't the problem. Time displayed for a ticket matches my time zone. The date is tomorrow's date, and you can't enter today's date for the ticket because it won't accept a ticket date prior to the 'expected date' (tomorrow). Can't change the expected date field either. Guess I should have filed my NJA for today yesterday ;) as there aren't any jobs for me today. Cover my butt for the mismatched date of NJA versus the true date ...

Nasty virus going around that attacks your internet explorer and basically will only let you go to 1 website, the site to buy the antivirus to take care of the problem.  When I called support they just took my address to send me a new computer.  Just a heads up to you all.  Oh yes and this was with Kapersky already installed. ...


Why Can't Client Profiles Be Kept Up To Date!

CCM and QA act like it is so difficult to get done. They should have instant access to keep the CP up to date to the minute. I am not going to be responsible for keeping up with all the emails about things not in the CP. If it's not in the CP, and I'm not in the group, it's not my fault if I don't know the special emails that group got. ...

Pay Date Schedule And DD Questions - Sm
Aug 13, 2012

I've been with Transcend just a few weeks.  I know my questions were addressed during training but I guess I was on "info overload" and I can't find answers in my notes either.  Where can I find the pay schedule with pay period and direct deposit dates?  Also, where can I view my "paystub" for direct deposit?  There is nothing about this on the ADP TimeSaver site where you enter hours.  There is an "ADP Self Service" link on the MLS website.  But I evident ...
