Document ALL time worked regardless of inclusion on your timesheet and document why you didn't include on your timesheet, job numbers, dates, names, hospitals, times you are out of work, errors you get, any communication with anybody at the company at any time of day, their aunt/uncle/cousin's names, etc.

Contact attorneys, let them know you have documents/are documenting and add your name to the list. May very well mean you recoup some of your lost money or not or yes or not or yes. I must have forgotten to take my medication,

I have been in this business for 20+ years. I always write down my job numbers daily - why would anyone not write them down? I only work OT if it is offered, not otherwise. This job is based on production, sometimes you have to flex your shifts a bit in order to accommodate workflow. I am just not getting all the complaining around here. This job is production based, quota to meet daily which is always stated at the time of hire. It is your responsibility to meet that and to ensure reports are correct. What am I missing here? Why is everyone complaining so much lately? Maybe I am getting senile..............

senile - you said it

sounds like uninformed too.

senile - dazed and confused

Not uninformed at all. I have read all the posts here. What I am not understanding is all the complaining. As I stated, this is a production job, always has been. You can't work OT unless it is approved. You may need to flex depending on workload. You have a minimum line count to meet every day. None of that has changed. You make sure your reports are accurate. If you worked in a hospital, would you not look in charts to ensure things were correct? Remotely, you look things up in your reference library, which everyone should have, or internet search. So what is the problem?

This Sounds Like A - Just Me

Production Manager Speaking. If They Are Still There Or Maybe They Got Canned. Who Knows.

Not Managers - Some Posting Here Are

[ In Reply To ..]
Apparently if we do not bash Softscript we are considered managers. Some people are so childish. Before we all started working at home I used to have to sit next to these same immature, unhappy people. Things haven't changed much ... but honestly, I'm glad you don't work there any more. You probably make people miserable everywhere you go.

nope not a manager - dazed and confused

just an MT who has worked in this business a long time. There are days when the work is low and I work around that. I don't like it but it is something you do in this business, has been this way since the day I started.

I am totally amazed about the complaining. I have never see a more miserable bunch of people. Count your blessings, you work from home, no gas money to spend going to and from your job, clothing allowance is less, you are home with your kids if that is applicable and most of all you have a job! Many, many people in this country can't say the same thing.

Buck up people and check your work ethics, leaves a lot to be desired. I won't be on here agai, I am going to grab the work you are letting sit while you are all on here complaining.

lol - about to pee my pants

you very funny!

What I think about SS - rad MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Having been with a few companies myself and reading things on this board I went ahead and accepted the job with them and what a mistake it was. They are no different than Keystrokes. I put most of the blame on the recruiter for not being informed or maybe she gets a bonus. Radiology manager is a joke, my training should have told me not to stay but I did, the SS client program is horrible and not user-friendly, old account specs, very few samples, a bunch of ESLs, and one QA marks one thing and the other doesn't. I honestly just don't get all the promises of work and it's just not there. I'm not even making minimum wage. If they had a lawsuit, I would be calling that attorney, I can tell you that! On the upside, I got a part-time job that is great and I'm making more money at it than I have with SS so I'm quitting! Other MTs can have this crap, it's not for me.
as I have said many, many times... there are plenty of MTs at these companies that do well and like their jobs. I'm not here to bash any of them, just stating my experience. I was with Spheris for years, had a great account, wonderful team environment, and loved it.

Don't know what all the fuss is about. If you do your job well, right the first time, you've got no worries. I don't foresee that this will be interfering with me whatsoever! If you want to survive in this business (and I assume that most posters do as they continue to work in this industry) then you have to go with the flow. If this process eliminates weak transcriptionists, then so be it. THIS MAKES ME MAD READING THIS POST. So, MQ's process is to elimini ...

I have been reading Steve Jobs' bio -- the more I read, the more I like who he was, what he stood for. Anyhow, this just STRUCK me -- from the ad campaign when Jobs returned to Apple, written, in part, by him:"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify ...

First want to say I am so sorry for all MT's/QA who were laid off. How terrible, yet I feel it could be a blessing in disguise because you can get unemployement and TAA and go back to school and get out of this field. It is pathetic reading the posts from a suit who is trying to maintain damage control for the WEB company. The suit is the one who is still getting paid with excellent benefits, not the poor MTs/QAs who have been let go. Makes me sick that a suit woul ...

..has been discussed. I highly, highly suggest IMEDX does the right thing, or some money grubbin attorney will be glad to take on not on IMEDX's obvious and blatant playing with lives, but also the whole industry. Imedx is ripe for lawsuits, and they have deep pockets. Suits, wake up, we have nothing to lose now but a consult with an attorney. You clearly have and are going to continue to violate laws, now do the right thing. Also, you don't want to the Labor Board, etc involved from 5 ...

The recent survey was nothing more than a slap in the face to all hard-working, dedicated MLS’ biding time until a real job with a respectful employer comes along. You want to know what would make Nuance better? Really, are you serious?? You demoralize, monitor, insult, and put your boot on the neck of every self-respecting MLS who puts their commitment and dedication to professional patient care ahead of all, despite the constant road blocks you throw in our path ...

I've been observing Medquist/M*modal for the past number of years since their previous law suit. The technologies they have employed as of late are widely viewed as intentionally inhibiting, many employees stating that this speech recognition program, as well as constant shuffling of work pools, or "pods" prevent the familiarity that is central to profit,accuracy, and productivity. I intend to gauge the interest and willingness of participation in the current M*modal employee community. Pl ...

Well, it's done folks! A couple of VERY brave ladies have filed a class action suit for make up to minimum and OT issues against Transcend. If anyone is interested in getting their own going against some other MTSO's, well, it's time to be heard. We're not going to take it anymore! If you would like info on the attorneys who filed this suit, please feel free to email me. A very proud day indeed! ...

I have noticed a significant decline in my line count with Softscript ever since their blooper that happened on MT week. I dont really understand how that has affected my line count so much but I used to type 23 jobs and get about 1000 lines. Now I type 23 jobs on the same accounts and get 700 lines. Something is wrong with this picture. I am looking for another job, I just feel like I'm wasting my time. ...

I noticed that every now and then that SoftScript advertises on the MT Job board for a pathology transcriptionist. I tried applying for that job once, but they said that they wanted "recent" experience and the last time I did pathology was in 2001. And yet, they keep advertising for that position. What's up with them? Can't they hold on to any help? On the surface, it looks like they have a high turn-over rate with that position. Am I missing somethi ...

I've not been working for SS very long and have been doing QA for them. I was wondering if anyone who reads this board is a QA, or has been a QA, for SS and, if so, do they audit you? How strict are the audits? What happens if you don't make the score? I have a friend who used to work for SS a couple years ago and she said that she quit because the audits were "nitpicky." I'm just wondering if I need to be concerned about that at all. TIA for the info. ...
