Has anyone been penalized for not reaching required lines when there is simply no work to do?

What do you do when you have the required hours but are short lines? I got an email that I need to "make plans to have my shortage made up." The only problem is that I'm up to date with my hours for the pay period so far. The other problem is that I have plans Saturday night and Sunday (both being my scheduled time off) that don't include TransTech. It's getting harder and harder to defend this company when they can't hold up their end of the agreement and continually ...

I have asked my TL 3 times. What are the required lines per pay period? Combo of ST and VR? Thank you. ...

I've been MIA for 2 weeks but may have to return to work tomorrow....sigh. I was checking emails and saw the line requirement. ...

I need some information on what companies require for LPH for VR. The place I work for requires an insane amount. I more than likely am going to get raked over the coals this week for not meeting my quota (it is over 500 lines an hour). Any information would be helpful to present to HR. ...

Does any one have any requirements for editing for an 8-hr shift? I know for straight typing is usually required to type 1200-1500. Thanks in advance. ...

MT/ME positions at Medquist? ...

My dad lives in Springfield, Missouri. He is in need of a good rheumatologist. I live in Maryland and do not know any doctors out in Missouri. He has been very unhappy with almost all docs he has seen in Missouri. He has extreme fatigue and joint pain. I told him he should probably see a rheumatologist. I was wondering if anyone knows a good rheumatologist, or a PCP for that matter. The first PCP he was seeing for years out there is an idiot and I was ne ...

I work at Focus Infomatics now for a month. I work on the account that starts with a T. It has a high ESL. I am having trouble now reaching my line count requirement. It has been a month. I thought I would be up by now. I have never had this issue before. If anyone else works on this acct, I would like to know if I am the only one or not? ...

that little spinny thing has been spinning for half hour..Closed it out and tried again and the spinny thing keeps on spinning..You would think they could do better..And Windows Live Mail sends a message server refused to connect.. ...

just to play it safe, i know next month starts the wonderful 10% submission and being penalized for it, but today if we send reports straight to qa, will they deduct us for anything?? I feel like i have a big knot in my stomach and my fingers can't move. I feel like I am 6 years old again and its my first day of school. I feel so paranoid about mq. ...

I thought I just saw something on here that said that we were being charged for blanks? Are they actually doing this? If so I have not seen anything stating it. ...

Probity was a great company. Nuance took over and well, you know the rest. Approved my first time sheet on the new-new plan and got 7 cpl for QC over 10%, but 100% QA. I will NOT work somewhere that I am penalized for thinking about patient safety and sending a horrible doctor's reports to QC for blanks. Nuance, you can kiss my! I'm done! ...

This past pay period because my QC percentage was over 10% both weeks I calculated lost wages of almost $400. The first week my quality was 100%, the second 99.7%. The second week my QC percent was just a hair over 10%, but I of course ended up on the bottom of the pay grid, a difference of $150 for the week. I don't send reports to QC because I'm lazy. Why should we continue to get penalized for bad dictators, unknown names/business entities on new accounts, et ...

I have heard people on here say you have to pay your SE taxes quarterly or you get penalized. I didn't do that. I took my stuff to H&R block and they did my taxes with just a regular SE status, added to my employee status for my employee job. They asked me if i had paid in anything and I told them no, but I didn't get penalized in any way. Is that normal? I am asking if the IRS will come back later and penalize me, or is that it, I just pay them at the end of the year and ...

Just had 5 corrections reversed because a QC misunderstood the account specs. How do they get penalized for their mistakes? ...

Does anyone know how to expand simply by typing in the abreviation and hitting the space bar and then it will expand the abreviation? ...

Does anybody know which column companies look at to decide if you are meeting the minimum 250 requirement in Escription? When I look at the metrics there are 2 columns...median lines per hour and average lines per hour. ...

if you make 4 cents per line at 1000 lines a day, they really calculate it at 500 lines per day x 4 cents, making it really 2 cents per line for the full 1000. I heard this, and I am really interested in knowing if it is true. ...

My main account was a good one, and the lines were very good, mostly ER work. I have been on this account for over a year and a half now. We recently received an e-mail stating that Nuance had discovered that the line count was charging incorrectly, as instituted by them, and they had been crediting us with MORE lines than we were actually doing and overcharging the client. Now get this, they informed us that they would not make US pay it back, for their mistake, but that our new lines would re ...

I absolutely hate when I am told to just "flex" my hours. I have contracted for work within a particular time frame. If no work is available during that time it is not a simple matter of just "flexing" my time. My life is not that "flexible". I have kids, husband, house, school to deal with sweetie. Try to not over hire so many MTs to get that awesome TAT. Try to not send our work overseas to save a few cents. How about that waiting time pay sweetie? Does that not apply when we ...

Just wondering if the TT MTs would like share ... how many lines do you average during the day/week? I'm doing about 9,000 to 10,000 a week and wonder if I should be pushing myself more. How much of your count is VR? I do probably 15% traditional and 85% VR but that, of course, varies week to week. ...

Which do you use - custom lines - 65 character lines with spaces or standard lines - seems like so much more for standard lines???? Cathy ...

I am having a discrepancy issue with lines....wondered if MS Word and Medquist use a different number of characters per line. Thanks.... ...

How many lines do you average per day - VR and traditional? I know it's been VERY slow lately, but when things are going well, how many lines do you normally get? I'm trying to figure out where the average numbers are. For me, I do about 350 trad and about 1400 VR in 8 hours. Well, my timesheet says 8 hours, but my clock says that number MAY(!) be a little higher. Again, these are numbers I pull when things are going well and I'm not waiting for work to download. I'v ...

How in the world are we supposed to learn anything new if we can't ask for help without the penalty of being docked and/or audited?? Are blanks supposed to be better than education? Do the docs truly like to see blanks in their reports? This company sucks big time! ...

So, if one is looking for a different MTSO employer, what's the competition like? Is CMT pretty much a given now? I mean, do I have to find the funds to pay for that and get the title just to be part of the competition? NEED ADVISE PLEASE ...

Very, very difficulty to listen to her prattle on about the importance of audits and quality when she could not begin to do what I do. I can take it from the corporate suits who run this company because after all, they are NOT in the business of transcription, they are in the business of technology and we MTs are only in their ways and a very hard to swallow means to an end or at least to India..but I would hope that the person who DIRECTLY supervises me and MY work should know how to perf ...
