unemployment and have to show proof of the job search

Okay, I'm new so I am not making much yet. Can we all just make a post saying how many hours we work, what we gross, how long you've been transcribing, and whether it is vr or st? Don't name your company. This way we can guage what we can expect to be making down the line. I've been transcribing for 2 months. This week I worked 37 hours and grossed $259.00 and it was 90% VR. ...

Wondering if everyone still uses just Google, or have you found something better? Curious to know! ...

I got this email this morning - yes, he's threatening to sue me over my paycheck - Remember, he owes me $415: I have your email (received Friday 4/2/2010 at 3.30 PM) wherein you have agreed to the settlement offered by us. We are prepared to send your check for $171.00, as you have agreed to below, by Express Mail today so that you may receive it tomorrow. Finally, today I have received some emails from you that were sent to the Nevada Labor Commission among a host of other people.& ...

You know, we hear tales, hope they're not true, but now I believe that the evil Q is intentionally sabotaging our work! I've been on 100% QA for failing my audit. Yesterday I was being audited again, was aware of it and was working e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y carefully, very conscious and aware of everything I was doing. My production was down a bit, but my accuracy was spot on! As we all know, they audit 5 reports and average out the score. My accuracy was 9 ...

I was guilty of taking my audits for granted and putting my tail between my legs and truding on, thinking my situation was horrible and would never change. Then I read about many MQ MTs challenging their audits, calling QA on the feedbacks, keeping logs, keeping copies to compare before and after QA and today I had my opportunity to call them on a HUGE discrepancy! I got a score of 89% on a report, had 2 "critical" errors, had ALL the dictated headings changed, and added at the end of the ...

I'm too slow and have heard other people say they don't proof their work. I am so tempted but find too many mistakes to dare try it. I'm curious how many do and don't, how much it helps with line count (when you don't), and if there is a good way to train yourself to do it right the first time so it's not necessary. ...

elibility to work here in the US. What do they need to see to prove I can work here? ...

Maybe the company is going down. Post stated: Oh, and I understand that 100+ others received the same notification on the same day. Reasoning...none given other than it was an at-will company. Other employees were called out of client meetings to inform them that they were no longer employed...and this included all levels of employees - from managers to MTs. ...

I'm curious as to what your most effective way is to proofread reports. When the report is short, only several minutes, I don't have a problem listening to the entire dictation again and read back through what I typed, but when you have one that's, let's say, an hour or more long, I'm really cutting my pay in half. Do you go through the entire report while listening to the audio again, or do you proof two or three sentences at a time while still wor ...

The account I have has some extremely horrid dictators and about 75% are ESL. They were hounding me to get my line count up to goal. We can only edit as fast as they talk and none use the pause button, making our stats take a nosedive. The only way I could meet goal was to quit proofing at the end of the report and force myself to focus and proof as I go. How many oithers do this and what do you think of your accuracy proofing as you edit? Are their some dictators that require ...

My manager (not an MT) is challenging me on the method I proof my work. How do you proof? a: listening to the audio at a higher speed while you review and correct the text on the screen? b: print out on paper, read, and then correct on the computer? c: read the screen with no audio and correct as you go? ...

Just typed a letter to a peer review committee regarding a discrepancy in an operative report and a discharge summary. The doctor gave the explanation that it was simply a typographical error either from his mumbling or unclear dictation, and that the dx listed in the discharge summary did not make sense and he would not dictate that. Yes, he actually admitted it could have been from his mumbling. But, why didn't he catch that incorrect diagnosis when he signed the discharge sum ...

You all have helped giving me averages based on line output and cpl, but I know MModal is going to try to make it look like they're really giving us a good deal, and the hospital doesn't want to pay us unemployment. Where can I go to cut and paste something into a document that PROVES the TRUE amount a normal transcriptionist would earn full time? Anybody know? ...

So hoping it doesn't come to this, but I'm thinking I may need to take someone to small claims court. Would my invoices work? Logs? Or do I need the actual reports and if so how does HIPAA play into that? Any advice? many thanks busybee ...

Failed another audit. Third failure in a row and worse than the last 2. Going slower, proofreading, trying harder does absolutely no good. Fooled by ASR a few times too. I am also sick of getting dinged occasionally because AAMT/ADHI decides to change the way something should be written. I have been transcribing for 30 years. I was so careful that, for the first time in a real long time, I have some makeup pay, i.e., I made less than minimum wage. Although I need to inform my QAM that ...

The company I'm working for has no way to verify my line count on line, nor do they provide a count on my paystub. I have no way to verify the lines they are paying me for. Is this legal? ...

Why do companies call you and if you are not there they leave a number. Then when you call back they are not there. You tell them that you are interested, but they never call back. I even called back twice and never got a call back. Plus I have had companies send me e-mails that they are interested and fill out the form. Then I never here anything. What is up with all this? ...

can i see a show of hands of how many of my fellow MT's are THIS CLOSE to throwing in the towel, not only with MQ, but just transcription companies in general? I am first, who's next? Let me see those hands!!! ...

I JUST WANT TO VENT. I don't remember the exact name of this new NBC show making a comedy out of outsourcing - but I think we all need to find out who or where to write and tell them OUTSOURCING OVERSEAS IS NOT FUNNY!! From what I gather from the ads the jobs go to India (I believe) and it's supposed to be so funny. It's not freakin amusing in the least. We aren't the only industry who have been royaly SCREWED by big companies. T ...

working on a new compensation plan? I think that all went out the window with the JP Morgan/Chase thing. ...

Okay everyone... who knew TTS and Nuance were affiliated?? Come to find out, they do our "overflow" and here's the nasty, subversive part -- They get paid more to do it. Feelin' the love. ...

When I have to look things up, I find myself saying, "Please don't show a picture of it," i.e. Fournier's gangrene, etc.... Now we know why I did not become a doctor ...

With straight typing, one space after a period or two? I haven't used two spaces since the old days of typewriters. Am I getting a lower line count with using only one? ...

Just because I'm curious, and I bet lots of others are as well, how many working Nuance MLSs are actively looking for a job? Please vote 'do not like'. How many Nuance MLSs are planning to stay with it for at least another 12 months? Please vote 'like' So 'like' if you like being an MLS and want to stay with it. My vote will be the first one cast. ...

Hopefully we will be able to see what our wages will be on Webclock. But they will probably try to disguise that with complex calculations too. If not and we see drastic reductions in our wages, my bet is that there will be more call offs than usual on Christmas eve and Christmas day. ...

Would THAT not be an absolute blast? ...

It's just reorganization because of Nuance buying Transcend, as far as I can see, and we all knew that was coming. As far as MM buying Nuance, you have to be kidding. MM was just bought by Chase, and they are in bad shape financially. They (MM) refused an offer from an unnamed company prior to the sale, and that offer was much higher than Chase's offer, FYI. There was speculation that Nuance was the company, however, no proof. Nuance is riding high with Nina and everything else the ...

In searching the web for a new job I keep running into federal and state stats that say the low end salary of a newbie transcriptionist is $14 and high end is $24. They must be talking American dollars because Indians make $0.78 an hour. They also say it is a growing field (so much so it's spilling into the sea and floating to India) and there is a high demand for experienced medical transcriptionists (!?) Where the heck do they get their outdated information??? I f ...

Did anyone see the show Undercover Boss last night? Do ya think the suits at MQ would do that - ha, never would be a consideration for them -- if any of them did see it, they probably laughed. They don't realize and don't care to realize what we do to fill their pockets. Bottom line for them is money in their pockets and the big bonuses they get for signing papers and closing those deals that don't benefit the MT at all -- the ones who are keeping the profit going for them.� ...
