Failed audits, PM, and OT input please - Wondering


Posted: Mar 18, 2015

I have not read much lately about anyone being on Performance Management due to failed audits.  Is this still happening?  How long do you stay on PM?  Are you then audited every day?  For the people in the PODS, if you are put on PM, I assume that means a pay cut.  If you are reduced to below minimum wage in this process, how can MM expect you to stay?  Who is going to do their OT?

I have an idea.  The 100% perfect QA, or auditing team, could knock it off with the constant harrassing and pitch in and do the OT when necessary!!  And the work should be perfect, with no need for auditing their reports.  There ya go.  Problem solved.

Jun 09, 2015

i'm just curious.  most of the time i pass my audits with a 99.7.  but there have been a few times i have gotten emails telling me my score was below 99.6 and showing me the error of my ways.  but i have never seen the word FAIL nor has it even been a big deal, i just get the email letting me know and thats that.   does something different happen to some of you or is this what you are calling 'failing an audit' ?  because i've never found it to ...


Failed Another 3 Focused Audits.
Dec 31, 2013

Yep, that's my 4th within a week. Yep, just as I noted a couple weeks ago, 2 "punctuation" errors and you fail. One spelling error that I have no idea how that could make it through spell check. And a full point for not cc'ing a dictating physician who said to send him a copy - because the CP did not say not to??????? I thought it was policy not to cc the dictator even if they requested such. I cannot even remember any client profile stating not to send a cc to the dictating physi ...


For Those Who Have Failed MQ's "audits" ---
May 28, 2010

Have you been put on 100% QA AND received a pay cut?  Do you have to fail 2 in a row?   How much of a pay cut is it?  I am going to be fuming mad if I get a pay cut.  Not a single one of my "errors" were critical...as like so many of us.......... I won't quit (won't give them the satisfaction) but they ARE going to need to lay me off or fire me so I can get unemployment.  They WILL pay for that at least.  ...

HELP! Failed Audit
May 15, 2010

So, I failed another "audit".  I have to bounce back and forth between at least 10 accounts, therefore 10 different client profiles AND have to keep up with the ever changing QA preference of the day!  I'm so depressed.  It's really heard to understand that VR stuff and ESL dictators.  Has anyone failed more than a few audits and continued working?  Will they fire me?  I, like everyone else, am really struggling, but I NEED this job.  Any ideas on h ...

Failed The Test For SGS??
Feb 24, 2013

So, I go through the grammar portion of the test, use a ton of reference materials when I needed to and I failed the test? Huh???!!! There wasn't even a place that told me what my score was! I have 10+ years in this field and can't see how I failed the test and it's just not sour grapes on my part.  This kind of shakes me to the core and makes me not want to apply anywhere else! Anyone else have this happen?  ...

I know there is one account in the many I encounter every day that I has this little tidbit waiting to bite you in the rear end. Looking forward to 2 more fails - even though I am in the 99% range. I do not know how I am going to do any better with the sound quality and the horrid ASR I am given. I al ...

Can I Get Some Input On PTO Please.
Jul 11, 2011

We only have 3.?? hours every pay period of PTO until after 4 years with the company.  I was off last week and for each day for PTO I indicated 7 hours per day.  This will give me 1 extra day of PTO over the year at 7 hours pay.  I do not know if that is allowed, they may require us to indicate 8 if we took the whole day off.  Will see what happens about that.  I wish I could put 6 hours per day, leaving me more hours of PTO. We have 2 days paid sick time, which I have ...


Thanks For The Input
Jan 11, 2012

I am very happy to have found this forum. I thank you all for the input on companies. I worked for a company for three years and was frustrated to the point of going nuts. I broke three keyboards and threw books at the wall. I had never experienced this when I worked directly for a practice and had to leave there too. I messed up my left wrist trying to make the lines they expected and took 10-12 a day since their platform was so very slow. I ended up taking a medical month leave of absen ...
