Why does this stupid company worry about production - When we have no work

Posted: Mar 04, 2015

They have no work for us through their own manipulations.

Almost everything now is on the inept, rotten VR so they can cut pay even more.

They have the audacity to direct you to lie on your time card and even with doing so, production numbers would not look good because of them--goal being for us to mind their store all day through our workday and beyond, but they will cheat us out of even lousy minimum wage and overtime rightfully earned .

When will this company have stolen enough!

Hope to see them brought up on charges and paying for all their illegal actions.

The time sheet ting is - Illegal

You should report them.

For what it is worth, I think it is illegal for us - to lie for them.

before and since it was the company who instructed us to lie, none of us were in any trouble at all. Actually, they had to pay us back OT pay for all those years. It was a very big check.

If you want something done then why don't - you notify...

the Dept. of Labor. It is illegal for them to expect you to lie on your time card. You were hired for specific hours and they need to furnish work for those hours and not clock in and out according to an attorney I spoke to. You are entitled to minimum wage, contact the Dept. of Labor and file a complaint and get others involved.

Have to be reported first. - sm

Instead of hoping and waiting, why don't you report the company for illegal practices. My last company tried to pull that on me and I told them altering my time card was illegal and I would not do it. They backtracked and said I wouldn't need to do that and said my time card was fine but that I needed to watch my lines. Never heard a peep from them again regarding my time card, but ended up leaving for other issues I had with this company. But if I had been made to change my hours, you can be sure I would have been fighting it.

You just described Acusis to a "T". - (Bloodsuckers)

If they are instructing you to lie on your time sheet, not paying overtime, not paying at least minimum wage, etc., everyone needs to document, document, document and file a complaint, and they will be held accountable. The problem is, everyone complains, but not to the right people.

Ugh, I never encountered this before. I have some different accounts. There is this INANE gender check which kicks out he or she if it is not the patient's gender. OMG, the dumas people who have nothing better to do and set this up apparently do not realize males may have mothers or girl friends and vice versa. I'm so sick of wasting my time fixing the worthless things they have set up to make things "easier" for us. We'd be better off if maybe t ...

I finally had got enough 100% post-audits to overcome the critical error that I had the first week of October to bring myself up over 99% and they found 2 critical errors in 1 report that brought me back down to 98%. Of those 2 critical errors, 1 was a typo where I put an L with a number and would not have affected patient care so they could have marked it down, and the other was honestly a critical error that I swear I remember listening to several times to make sure I wasn't ge ...

I had it all. The job I wanted through SOAP Transcription. One little thing got me fired and I don't want it to happen to any of you regardless if you're new or a veteran of the field. Most of us at home workers, with whomever we work for, have rules about the internet. That being said, I was towards the end of my shift last Sunday, and wanted to check the score of a football game. I figured it was only once, what could it hurt. Well, now I know, all too painfully. I wasn't ...

My point having been made in 2 short weeks, I will no longer be hanging out on this board. Nuance, in its attempts to hide its egregious activities with certain employees, has infiltrated this board and it is no longer truly a community of US medical transcriptionists, but has become what could more aptly be called, "A company opportunity to do damage control for all POTENTIAL new employees about what the former employees said when they quit." The board can, however, still ser ...

They are chastizing us for making minimum wage "too often;" can they possibly believe that after we were used to making $40,000+ a year that we have just become lazy and are happy with making minimum wage? They don't see the irony that a job this difficult and that takes so much training and experience pays us the same as taking orders at Burger King? I can't even wrap my head around such denseness. Yeah, keep griping at us for making minimum wage, that ought to ...

This is something that has been bothering me. I feel stupid asking, but since it's rather important, I ask. cpl Currently, I am making 0.083 per line typed. I see people stating things like 7 cpl or .8 cpl. Does that equate to 7.0 per lined type (seems crazy!) and 0.8 per line typed? I'm currently being offered incentive pay for working on my days off. They stated 0.5 cpl extra per line typed. Since I have to enter my own pay and production, I'm just confused a ...

Did any of you get an email from MModal or your TSM on how to change your company code in Fluency Manager so that it would reflect the new code and allow you access to DEP? Did your TSM have you check this and check for your expansions before the go live? I can still access the DEP portion of Fluency and perform searches, see backlog, all the same functions I had before. No one said anything about restricting our access. She had us make the changes and test it before the ...

Is transcribing Acute Care notes that much different than clinical notes? I currently transcribe for a family practice and gastro docs who do colonoscopies and minor procedures and have typed for oncologists and cardiologists, gyns, ophthalmologists. Can it really be that much different? I'm asking because I think I could do it. I am a fairly quick learner and have a good grasp of terminology and worked in a rehab hospital and was exposed to a lot of H&P, discharge sum ...

Looking at an ad that says "Required skills are transcribing 1000 HIM lines (65 character lines) or 2000 MI lines per day." Is there anyone who can translate HIM and MI for me?

Does anybody ever get a raise or do we only get the amount we started at indefinitely? Just curious. It seems that the longer we are with a company and doing more work with better quality we would be compensated accordingly.

I'm sort of new to this "work pool" thing where the work is shared amoung several MTs. I understand that we all need to make a buck.... as much bucks as possible, actually. I also understand that sometimes the work load is slim-pickin's. When that's the case, and I know that there's a lull, I do try to be considerate and not take ALL the work that's in there. For instance, if I see there are only say 10 or 15 jobs in a queue and there is another ...
