Did they ever give away those prizes from Labor Day weekend?

Why yes I'll commit my free time to work so you can make bonus by keeping the accounts in TAT! I'm thrilled there is no work now so I can just sit idly at my computer waiting and waiting to make that big 4 cpl! ...

Anyone heard any more about the prizes that were supposed to be awarded after "training/updating" the new 6.1 DQS platform? Amazing how that got shut down so quickly! It's been a month now . . . . . . ...

Wondering if anybody else who won a prize has received it yet. Still waiting for mine. HMMMM. ...

A fellow MT posted on the Nuance board that she contacted the California Labor Board regarding unpaid labor. I hope this case creates a precedent! For me, some jobs are so laden with problems half my time is spent researching and correcting dictator errors - for no pay! We are not paid to check email, answer email, train, review of all the documents emailed to us, review changes in procedure, doctor exceptions to the rule, working with tech support, reviewing QA, searchin ...

Today is paid at time and a half correct? ...

s/l ... ciesis at term, onset of labor pains... Thanks! ...

Doc says: "Cesarean was done for s/l arrest of dilatation and descent." OB is my worst specialty. I can never figure this stuff out. Does anyone know if arrest of dilatation and descent is right? I googled and found a couple of variations on this, but nothing absolute. Thanks in advance. ...

I don't even really know what the holiday is supposed to be about. I've been an MT for so long, I can't even remember the last time I had the day off on Labor Day. As a result, I haven't really paid attention to, or even cared, about what it's supposed to be. From what I can see, living near a large body of water, it appears that Labor Day is about drinking beer to the point of major intoxication, and then crashing your boat in ...

(e)Study of effects of foreign production on unemployment; report to President and CongressWhenever the Secretary has reason to believe that in any industry under this chapter the competition of foreign producers in United States markets or in markets abroad, or both, has resulted, or is likely to result, in increased unemployment in the United States, he shall undertake an investigation to gain full information with respect to the matter. If he determines such increased unemployment has in fact ...

Recognized as top career choice by US Dept of Labor Statistics, "employment of medical transcriptions is projected to grow faster on average compared to all other occupations through 2014." In addition, with new health care legislation, adding nearly 50 million people to health insurance will definitely increase the demand for more transcribers. What a crock. ...

to consider MTs are victims of labor trafficking? And to the obvious comments about no one forcing MTs to keep their positions or don't be a victim... This profession has been demolished by the greed of MTSOs and MTs were not part of the conversation (unless they were small MTSO owners who sold out or AAMT employees who sold us out). MT has become an abusive and degrading job to have, no longer a profession. Skip to main content U.S. Department of Healt ...

I knew it....I am not a moron.....hiring all these MTs for these accounts, running OOW on a regular work day.....did they think we would all stay busy on Labor Day? I am disgusted and am taking the day off. I ask about being off.......NO. Don't you think that managers could make schedules knowing the work is slow? Let people off if they ask, making sure to have at least 2 MTs on in case some work comes in? That is too easy a fix....let everyone just be OOW and ...

Alerting the Department of Labor has been bandied about regarding the unfair and unjust treatment that MTSOs like to dole out because they think they can get away with it, and we have, in a sense, just rolled over and let them for fear of job loss or being the troublemaker if we spoke up. Perhaps it is time we find out if we have legitimate issues here and maybe something can be done about them, such as: 1. Not being paid for spaces. 2. Not being paid for demographics. ...

Anyone know of a good site for labor and delivery terms? I can't seem to find one that has anything beyond laymen terms. Thanks in advance! ...

I've read on here previous comments about the ILPs not having the skill set to perform straight transcription/editing, and if that's true (and I tend to believe it myself), then exactly what is their purpose in the industry? Can they churn out the line count (or way above and beyond line requirements)? Can they create/edit a document that is ready for release to clients? Who QAs their grammar, punctuation, spelling (in correct English)? Can they precisely transcribe OR reports, car ...

Off-the-Clock References The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that covered non-exempt employees receive at least the minimum wage and at least one and one-half times their regular rates of pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. In general, "hours worked" includes all time an employee must be on duty, or on the employer's premises or at any other prescribed place of work. Also included is any additional time the employee is allowed (i.e., suffered or permitted) to work. The amo ...

The U.S. Dept. of Labor requires time and a half pay for all hours over 40 worked in a work week. (I think only if employee status.) We are considered piecemeal workers and indeed are eligible for OT pay. "All time spent by an employee performing activities which are job-related is potentially "work time." This includes the employee's regular "on the clock" work time, plus "off the clock" time spent performing job-related activities (which benefit the employer). Potential ...

Does anyone know, with an IC working in one state and the MTSO having her business in another state, which state I would file a claim with the labor board for wages not paid. This is a minimal amount but this lady has one excuse after another, she has been sick, she had personal problems, her daughter had an appointment. I am at a point where I am finished and want to file a claim with the labor board, she has too many personal problems/issues to be in business. I will not ...

Good morning fellow MTs, Well our hospital just outsourced a huge part of our transcription. I am seeing this trend and it breaks my heart. When you go from a good salary and benefits with affordable insurance to a company who pays you barely minimum wage - it is WRONG! Is there any one out there who thinks that these companies OWE it to us MTs who have been in the field 20+ years to pay us what we are worth? And not by the line???? I am so frustrated and angry that thes ...

I am wondering if anyone else has contacted a labor attorney regarding the legality of being forced to either sit at your computer for hours on end, use PTO time or risk being fired for their inability to provide work for us? I have an appointment to speak with one, but I was just wondering if anyone else had looked into this and the outcome? This just is really starting to feel like a sweatshop. ...

in all seriousness, can this be done legally? what about the state minimum wage... the Labor Board should be notified or a lawyer to make sure this is legal. ...

I received an email recently from my company stating that they were undergoing a random DOL audit followed by a questionnaire in the mail from the DOL...which the company stated was voluntary and it was up to us to decide if we wanted to answer it. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this and knows what is going on and how this could affect our jobs? I am currently working as an independent contractor on a Veterans Affairs account and would like to keep my job...a ...

I am supposed to be an IC, and according to the IRS definition and 20-factor test, I am being treated as an employee with each day bringing new employee guidelines into play. How do I file a complaint and be allowed compensation and benefits as an employee? This company is just worming their way around paying benefits and downtime compensation to employees by stating they are ICs. ...

Last pay check, I did not receive the PTO I requested in SS and was granted by my CCM. I contacted payroll immediately. Mind you, this happened to me once before. It took 1 email and 1 phone call and I had a check the very next day. It is now a week later. I have been around and around with payroll and my CCM. FINALLY, yesterday, I get an email that they owe me the PTO and will add it onto MY NEXT CHECK. I don't think so. That is money that I earned and am entitl ...

I had a very bad experience recenly with a company which will remain unnamed. I had been intentionally decieved about some policies. If I recall correctly I had read something about the labor board. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to contact them. This was an INTENTIONAL , DELIBERATE misrepresentation. Since I am no longer with said company I really have nothing to lose. I have also read repeated co ...

Thank you for contacting the U.S. Department of Labor National Contact Center. With regard to Record Keeping, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires that employers keep accurate records of hours worked and wages paid to employees. In connection with Piece Rate, employees can be paid in a variety of ways including a salary, hourly, piece rate, or commission basis. There is no requirement under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) that an employee be paid in a certain manner ...

If so, what state are you in and what was the result? ...

I had a check bounce from a client as I am an IC. I was wondering if I have any rights as to file a complaint with the DOL or the BBB? Any and all info. will be appreciated. TIA ...
