You are allowed to send up to 5% of your work to QA. Anything over that, you will be reduced 3 cpl for each report that goes to QA.

If you submit 25% of your work to QA, 20% of that would be at 3 cpl less, so if you are doing ASR at 4 cpl, you will be paid 1 cpl for that 20% of your work.

You do not get paid more if you do not use QA. You get paid what you were told, typically 4 cpl for ASR and 8 for transcription.

You are allowed to send work through to the client with a blank, however, if it comes back on an audit that you are sending work through that the QA staff could have easily filled in, you will be written up and potentially fired or put on 100% QA and then all your work will be at 3 cpl less.

This is how the MModal (formerly known as MQ) operates. Everything is a double edged sword and they will stab you over and over.

Let me understand this - Not a MQer

We all know dictations have cut-offs, burps, noise-overs, etc. Do you mean to tell me if these things are sent to QA, which ARE NO FAULT OF THE MT, then you get docked?

If this is true, MQ, you are a POS that I would never consider as a potential employer. I also would strongly advise against another MT accepting a position there.

yes.. that is true - MModal slave

Yes, bad audio, loud background noise, wrong work type, inaudible patient name, unable to find cc name, anything....

Like I said, we can send these through to the client without them going to QA and just leaving a note to the client, BUT, if the client sees excessive blanks, they will do their own audits and then the QA staff at MModal will listen and if you are sending stuff through that could have been figured out, your on the chopping block.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

oh yea... and I forgot to add - MModal slave

Even if you send something to QA and they are not able to fill it in, it still counts against you.

All the above that Mmodal slave says is true! - nm

OMG I will never complain about my company again!!! - Say what?

[ In Reply To ..]
This is outrageous! You people really need to find a better company. I know that is so much easier said that done. How can you stand it? There must be a large turnover with them. You have my complete sympathy if you can not find another job. I just can't imagine working 3 cpl for VR or for typing! Sorta makes any complaint I might have seem trivial!!

MQ PAY DROPS TO 1 CPL - MQ is toxic to MTs

Dear OMG, the replier to the OP said it could drop to 1 cpl. Anyone who works for them has my deepest sympathy (except for those working offshore). There are better places out there.

Hi, I noticed that some ES users download 5-25 jobs in the user ID even when QUEUE CACHE is set to '1'. That is when they are only allowed to download 1 job at a time.

Awww after teleconference with the bigwigs from the Q, telling us how smart and brilliant we are and they trust our ability to make good decisions, they still insist our QA rates will be low enough and we will not get dinged for QA submissions over the 5%, because we will find everything we need in the "reports they are allowing us to see". Yeah right, and everything I touch is going to turn to gold. Are they serious?? I just figure lots of blanks going to clients. No one ...

Report from a new dictator, not English-speaking of course, 84 lines, 10 QA markers. Listened through the whole stupid thing twice to get it down to 10 markers, looked up old reports on the same patient, wasted a great deal of time trying to find anything helpful. So finally sent to to QA. Just checked to see if THEY were able to fill in any of the gobblety-goop. Hasn't been done. This will probably set me over the allowed 5% and for all that horrific work I di ...

Okay, if I am reading the e-mail from corporate correctly, that means that if a MT produces 5,000 lines a week, then the QA submission rate should be no more than 10% of lines which would be 500 QA markers or at 5% that would be no more than 250 QA markers. Is that correct, or am I reading it incorrectly? Or is my math incorrect? ...

Well, 18 year employee here. (PT for 10 years) came from TL which was GREAT company and then MQ bought out. I have very chronic illnesses that I absolutely cannot go and get an outside the home job.

On the 3 horrible reports that I had to submit to QA yesterday because of the 3-blank rule, thus losing 3 cpl probably, QA had no more luck filling in the blanks than I and sent them through with 5-10 blanks. That makes me so mad -- not at QA, just in general that I get penalized financially when it was the DOCTOR'S FAULT AND THE PICKY FACILITY'S "RULE." ...

Things have continued to decline over the past 3 years I worked for MQ. After the 5% submission rule went into effect, I decided I needed a new career, so at the age of 46, back to school for me. I think this might be an important step for many MQ'ers since obviously the rate of pay will continue to decrease and the work demand increase. The fact they do not appreciate our ability to produce top-rated work and are happy with mediocre says a lot for a company tha ...

that are sent to QA, the ones you are forced to send due to the client wanting all reports QA's, a certain dictator, etc....I was just reading in the "Rewards" Plan that these reports are NOT counted towards our QA submission . I have read posts here where MTs were frustrated because they thought they WERE. Please read (I think page 10 but not sure) where it says they are NOT. If you feel yours are counting against you, copy and paste the paragraph and send it to your CCM. ...
