I feel the same way. If it's more than 50 bucks for 2 weeks I consider myself lucky. Most ppl have jobs in the world where they are sure what they are getting paid every payday, here it's like Vegas... mostly on the losing side. Yet the landlord fails to understand and others don't even believe that I work for a living... who feels the love now?
It's like doing the limbo... - how low can you go?! n/m
I got an email from HR today that my husband was 'accidentally' added back on my insurance. Note that he has not been on my insurance for almost a year. How this happened I have no idea.
That means my paycheck tomorrow will have about $400 deducted from it just for that error. The email basically said "Ooops, sorry about our mistake you will be reimbursed with *next* paycheck."
That means a 2-week wait for their mistake. I am not desperate for the money (thank ...
WHY are we in jeopardy for DOING OUR JOB?? Patient safety?? Are you kidding me?? When all they care about are line counts and QC pend percentages?? Is that an oxymororon or is just me?? Am I a moron for taking this or are just the whole Nuance execs morons?? PLEASE, someone explain this to me. ...
Had a clinic note wanting to use a template. Then the resident proceeded to give me more values than I had blanks in the template. After trying 3 different times to make it all work, I finally left QA note stating that I was clueness as to how to make it work and then hit the send button without checking the QA box and off it went straight to the client. Nothing I have done so far today has been right. I am stressed out today anyway for other reasons and this is about to ...
I'm halfway serious. Some sort of board with practical, helpful/hopeful insight by those who've left transcription and have found employment in other areas, and not necessarily coding/billing or nursing. Of course, I know we're all pretty much on our own but since this website has been so useful and helpful (to me at least) in making contact with other transcribers, would like to still believe there are other possibilities for us if this p ...
Any softscript, oh anyone at softscript, pay posted the 15th ROFLOL, 4 business days after the 15th, or 5 business days after the 15th at Softscript this pay period. Anyone know when pay was posted... ...
I had to change my direct deposit info due to opening a new account at another bank. Although I've been getting direct deposits all along, because this is a new account, my first check for this account has to be a paper check. Today is payday. My mail was just delivered. I have no paycheck. I am truly pissed off. ...
Well, another day fighting back tears. Thought this paycheck would be a little better. WRONG.
I have tried to be less anal about my reports, then I see all the posts about bad audits and get paranoid and go back to being anal. That used to be a good thing in this profession. Now I feel like I am between a rock and a hard place.
If I take enough time to correct everything ASR screws up, my pay falls. If I let the noncritical things go, have to worry about aud ...
Think MQ should offer fully paid mental health benefits, with what our job has come to. Just got a raise. Woohoo! Not enough to by an extra can of beans. Good luck to all the people answering adds to Become A Medical Transcritionist, make up to $40K!! Feel bad for them. ...
So, decided to rip the band-aid off early and check on my paycheck in Ultipro. After deducting my pto pay and using actual hours, production pay, Now at just over $8/hr. There was a day I made average $15/hr, and I was one of the slow, meticulous ones.
Really not sure why I put myself through this pain but it renews my resolve every 2 weeks to get out of here. This working 3 jobs is slowly killing me, and so tired of working until 10 o'clock at night.
And like so m ...
I just started, but the date I got was today for payday, yet it is not in my bank. They told me I do not have to wait for direct deposit, that it is right off the bat (rather than waiting the usual two checks or so with any other place). Just wondering if I should make a stink if it really is payday since nothing was deposited. I wonder if it is because yesterday was a holiday. ...
I just noticed that we get paid on 12/24/11 which is a Saturday. I'm new with Transcend, so does mean I have to wait until the Monday after Christmas before for it to be direct deposited or will they actually send it through on the Friday before? ...
I made minimum wage for the past 2 weeks. Tell me again why I work for this company? I can now look for a job doing any stupid thing, anywhere, and not have to take a pay cut. Isn't that terrific?
Is this a bad dream??? No, this is actually my life, having done this work for 25 years. Maybe just a little better training, and I might catch on and start making the real $$$ :-( ...
on MqCentral? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to locate it. I thought today was payday and wala..no pay. So, is it not until Monday? Seems strange. ...
I really had hopes this payday after really pouring it on every shift, adding to expansions every shift, using all the "handy hints" they gave us. Still not cutting it.
Please God answer my prayers and get me out of this stress factory.
And God, if it's not time to get out of here, please, oh please get MQ to do the right thing and "fix" ASR.
Don't make us keep changing dangerous abbreviations. Don't make us keep fixing "headings" that were not dic ...
I AM WORTH AT LEAST DOUBLE IF NOT TRIPLE WHAT I MAKE HERE!!!! QA SCORES HIGH, QA SUBMISSION LOW!!! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO BE APPRECIATED FOR WHAT WE DO FOR THIS COMPANY?????? I AM SICK TO MY STOMACH!!!

My MQ check is a whoppin' 333 bucks this PP... ramen and beans again. Between NJA, ESL and pay cuts I think I'll call it quits here. I can do better at a minimum wage job and have less stress. Giving notice TOMORROW. Gotta say this tho, the best part about MQ is this board! LOL! I've had some good laughs and heard a lot of solid, truthful news and facts about our industry and other's plights working here for peanuts (half peanut ...
So, I got this nice email from KS today. Paydates are changing immediately, from the 1st and 15th to the 3rd and 17th - because their "financial advisors" told them to. Really? I guess that means they don't have money to make payroll on Thursday. ...
MAJOR VENT.
My paycheck from MQ was deposited into my account today and it just sent me into a panic. Pay days are NOT supposed to feel like this - they are not supposed to cause you to put your head down on your desk and cry. They are not supposed to be like this. For the first time EVER I won't be able to pay my rent. I'm a single mom, I've worked full-time with MQ for 14 years, I'm an MME (supposedly at the top of my career game) and I can ...
I'm interviewing tomorrow morning with Amphion. Even after all of these years in the MT business, I admit that while I'm excited, I'm also a bit nervous.
Has anyone else interviewed with Amphion recently and can clue me in on what to expect? I was told the interview process would take about 30 minutes but no other details.
Thanks for any input anyone can offer :-) ...
