Anybody know what paid hours are at Medquist? - mb


Posted: Jun 30, 2011

I'm at MQ Central, looking at where it tells us how our PTO is accrued.  At the end of the document it says that accrued PTO is based on paid hours rather than hours worked.

What's the difference between a paid hour and an hour worked? Anybody care to enlighten me?

I was told before it basically means the hours you worked, not including any PTO that may have been used during the pay period. The way it is worded makes no sense...

It means any hours you were paid for - Just Sayin

would be included in hour PTO accrual, meaning jury duty, PTO, or any other paid time off which occurred during a particular pay period. You need 39 hours per week for FT to accrue PTO, so if I were to take say 20 hours PTO and worked 19 during one week, I will still have my full PTO accrual for that pay period.

Getting Calls From Medquist At All Hours
Nov 09, 2010

This is to all the people that get ticked off when MQ calls them to work.  I WOULD KILL FOR A CALL TO WORK AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT.  I have always said I am available 24/7, but with the "new and not improved" MQ there is really no one to tell that to, no one who truly cares -- about the client or the employee.  How wonderful it would be to feel needed again.  With so many of us vying over so few reports, the only feeling I get from them is "just quit, just quit, ...

Am I Getting Paid Enough?
Jul 16, 2010

I've been working with my company for almost a year now and i'm wondering if I should start looking around at other compaines. I graduated from M-Tec last summer and got a job about a month later, they started me at 0.055 cpl, then in December bumped me up to 0.06 cpl. Since then I have been getting paid the same, while working a lot more. I just want to know if this is good and I should just stick with it, or look somewhere else. Any advice is appreciated! ...

Hi.  I am new to MedQuist.  Can people out there who do not hate the company please tell me if they have had a good experience or not?  So far, I am worried that I will not be able to make decent money, but I am hoping that when my speed improves, that will not be the case.  I have many, many years of experience, so that is not the issue.  Sound quality seems to be a problem, and I am finding that editing takes an inordinate amount of time.  I am a fast typist, so I ...

I accepted a part-time job to supplement my regular MT income a few weeks ago from a girl who was advertising here on MTStars.  It's been great, fairly easy work and an excellent extra income.  I guess I should have known it was too good to be true. I was expecting payment last week but am told she can't pay me until she gets paid.  Now, who in their right mind would hire people to do their work when they can't pay on a specific date?  Why would you hire some ...
