FOR ALL LAID OFF EMPLOYEES TTA (?) - ari
Posted: Nov 08, 2013
First let me tell you I was laid off after 9 years last August. I was told many lies like all part-time employees are being laid off, you won't be able to get unemployment, don't feel bad you didn't do anything wrong. I applied for unemployment and have been getting unemployment ever since. I got selected (yeah me) for a special project going on with the UE commision and the lady who I report to is wonderful. She believes M@Modal made a plethora of errors and wrongdoings and has made it her special project particularly something I think is called TTA. It has something to do with M*Modal having to cover education and/or severance pay if you don't take the training, if it does happen it will be a long time coming with the holidays coming up and all, but thought I would share and maybe there will be a light at the end of the tunnel. She wants me to train in codiing, but I kind of see coding getting absorbed by some software or another and being automatically pulled from the notes somehow. If I hear any more I will let you know. I absolutely love not working for M@Modal they were so abusive. The first company I worked for with them was called Healthscribe and they were heaven.
Yes TTA has been posted about many times on this board - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Search some of the recent threads out, there are some *super* informative posts about it! :)
I am - not
[ In Reply To ..]sure if the person above is talking about the same thing. What has been posted is about TAA, not TTA. It is the Trade Adjustment Act. Also, MModal does not pay for your training with TAA, the government does, though I do believe that companies that are sending work overseas causing hundreds and thousands of jobs in this country should be paying for retraining. With that being said, I am not sure if the poster is referring to the subject of TAA that has been posted here many times.
TAA - Curious
[ In Reply To ..]I went to unemployment office to look for a job and asked about TAA but they said I didn't qualify I would have to go to HR at MModal. Any one have a different experience try to get TAA? Thanks for any information anyone has on this.
That - is
[ In Reply To ..]totally wrong. MModal has nothing to do with TAA. Go to link below and find your state and call them. I'm going to school right now through TAA and not laid off from MModal. Getting partial UE also.
Getting on TAA - Laid off 2
[ In Reply To ..]I had no problem getting on the program, but not all the receptionists and entry level clerks at the Unemployment ffice know about it. You just need to go back again or make a phone call, and ask to talk to someone further up the food chain. It really is not difficult at all to make initial contact with the program. I can't tell you much more than that, I have had one meeting with the TAA counselor and I am exploring my options as there are several. TAA really is not a big mystery to the higher level Unemployment Department employees in any state. One thing though, the TAA license is under Medquest not MModal so be sure to mention that if they can't find it. However, in my case, they did have that information as well.
I guess - in your
[ In Reply To ..]state it is different than mine. The UE office here has nothing to do with TAA.

You Are Not On The List Of Laid Off Employees
Mar 18, 2010
That is what I was told. You are not on the list of Laid off Employees. There is a list? Medquist actually laid off people? Yes. There is a list. Medquist sent it to us. Really? How many people did they lay off when CBay got 80% of the work? Drum roll please....................... 6 6? Yes, 6. You mean they got taken over by a company in India with 6,000 employees and they only had to lay of 6 USA transcriptionists? The point of the post..... ...
How Many Full-time Tier 3 Employees Were Laid Off?
Apr 05, 2013
There has to be something behind this selection process. If I were streamlining the company, I would lay off starting with tier I (because tier 2 and tier 3 can also do the work) and then tier 2 (because tier 3 can also do the work). I think MModal will eventually end up with only tier 3 employees in the US, and they will force them to all become MMEs. JMHO. Don't know how may part time people are tier 3, but I would imagine employees w/o benefits are cheaper than employees wi ...
OMG How Funny - Read Glassdoor Opinion Of Employees, US Versus Indian Employees!
Aug 05, 2013
I was just curious about what employees thought of Nuance on Glassdoor. You read several US employee opinions and they reflect the morale listed on MTStars. Scroll further down and read the opinions of the transcriptionists from India. What a difference. They are highly satisfied with their jobs and most have been working with Nuance for 6 to 7 years. The US transcriptionists are very sad!! What a difference..... ...

Recently laid-off and I am looking for a job. I was just wondering, being an IC medical transcriptionist has anyone ever qualified for unemployment?? I know this is considered self-employed and most states will not give you benefits, but I was just wondering if anyone has ever gotten benefits being an IC. Thank you for your time. ...

Laid Off
Apr 04, 2013
I was laid off today too. I have been with the company for 8 years. I consistently make my quota by a long shot, at over 375 lph. I had my audit a month ago at 99.3%. I am a single mom trying to support my family, and no, there was no warning, no severance, no nothing. My supervisor said it is across the board, and she did not have an answer for me as to why me. I spent the day working on my resume and job hunting and came here to see if anyone had any answers. To those of you in t ...

Laid Off.....
Jan 12, 2015
Well, it's official. I just got the call that I am officially laid off! I am glad that what I knew was inevitable has finally happened so I can move forward, but at the same time can't help grieving over the loss of what once was a career that I loved and was good at. It's not just the company I worked for; it's the whole medical transcription industry, so as of right now I am totally THROUGH with medical transcription! ...

Laid Or Lain? Help
Jul 15, 2011
I have this hint that normally helps me: “lie, lay, lain” (to recline); “lay, laid, laid” (to place or put down). The sentence is: "The patient was brought into the endoscopy suite and 'laid' in the left decubitus position." I was thinking it should be lain, but the patient was technically "put" in that position, so it should be laid. Correct? I've gone and confused myself. ...

Laid Off From M-Modal
Aug 22, 2013
It was never my choice to work for Mmodal anyway, I was an acquisition. But as I was perusing the help wanted lists, the horrible thought occured to me, what if I got bought by Mmodal again? I think I am going to get out of this racket entirely, retire my foot pedal, hang up my earphones for good! (And it has to be for good, it can't really get that much worse, can it?) ...

Laid-off Webmedx MTs, Did They Call You?

I note that in the last week there have been many new MTs come on board at Webmedx. They are being hired for new accounts.

What's an IC to do? As much as the company bragged about being in the local paper a month ago, they claim to have lost a huge account and have to let go all those working on it. Not eligible for unemployment, 4 kids at home from 5 to 20, a mortgage . . . thank goodness I'm on Cymbalta! I need to find another job - ASAP. Can anyone out there recommend a company that offers employee status, where I won't have to work 1 weekend day???? My resume is prett ...
Laid Off By Nuance Due To Satellite Only.
May 09, 2012
I have heard that their transcription and editing platforms -- Escription will work with satellite internet. I know I am not the only one who could no longer work at Nuance due to only having satellite internet. I was working for awhile at my daughter's home, but that did not work out too well due to house overrun by all the kids and their friends. If I could have had my own private office, I would have stayed there to work. Anyway that is all beside the point ...

WOW-I Get Laid Off, Wanted To Share It With You...
Apr 04, 2013
and now some are calling it a hoax. I have spent most of the day talking to UE and my states Food Share Program. Working from home for so long, I wanted to share my news with my fellow MTs. I thought they would understand how I felt. I appreciated some of the MTs wishing me luck, but I am surprised and sad to see that so many have become so "cold" that they can't even open their minds and believe someone. I still wish all MTs the best of luck. I will be fine. Even, at my age, they can ...

Hundreds Were Laid Off This Week.
Jul 26, 2013
Hundreds were let go this week. One of the biggest weeks for layoffs. Everyday someone is losing their job and has been going on since March/April, but this was the biggest week so far. More and more accounts being offshored (like we did not know). Do not want to put fear in people or cause stress, but this is reality. ...
I Wish Those Laid Off From April Till Now
Aug 15, 2013
Care to elaborate on some things. I'm trying to figure out a pattern to the layoffs. When were you let go? What tier level? Higher end of tier pay or lower end? What region? How many hours? Was it a state that they had to pay up to 4 hours? There has to be a pattern to all of this, and it could help those of us hanging by a thread. ...
