I am so TIRED of fixing doctors mistakes constantly. I dont get paid for that. I get paid to pound out reports per hour. Instead so far today, my first 3 hours have been fixing reports, leaving notes to the hospital....line 10 blank..dr stated..., line 24 blank..dr stated, etc. These guys have to take some responsibility for their dictation. They are so messy and haphazard in their dictations. It would be different if we were getting paid by the hour, I would not ha ...
I signed up for college this fall to get a HIT degree and hopefully get out of transcription.
Seems I spend so much time looking up incorrect demographics, patient account numbers, etc., due to dictors entering the wrong information, and with the company I work for, it counts against us, YET we dont get paid to lookup demographics and fix errors, but its our responsbility.
I am finding this so frustrating and spending 9 hours a day to make barely 90 bucks. ...
Can you help me? I have a Operative Report, the doctor dictates o'clock.
Do I type "of the clock", since contractions are not supposed to be typed?
Thanks

The doctor said: The patient's EKG was unchanged from the EKG of 07/20/2010, both the 10:00 one, and the 11:15 one.
He meant that there were 2 EKGs today, one at 10 and one at 11:15, that were unchanged from one almost a year ago, in 2010.
Is 10:00 incorrect? Should it be "both the 10 o'clock one, and the 11:15 one?" ...
She and I had a few e-mails back and forth about when I should clock out OOW. I'm just...confused. I have been clocking out OOW after doing the usual protocol any time there isn't work and had no issues with that with my old TSM.
New TSM said that I only clock out OOW if I am quitting for the day and have no work. She told me checking in during my regular scheduled shift when OOW is "flexing" and so I don't clock out OOW.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but when you clock out OOW ...
I've had 2 reports and now no work. We were told not to clock out when OOW! Doesn't this just go against LPH sitting here on the clock with no work? ...
Can anyone tell me why we need to clock out each time we do work with out hands off the keyboard? I asked if we had to clock out for every Google search, demographic research, doctor name database, etc and was told that we did have to clock out for any time off keyboard. Now I'm concerned if they even pay for work done off the keyboard. With all we have been through with these MTSOs, I would not be surprised if they did dock for research, etc. It's also ve ...
I understand that holiday weeks are slow, but what if I just stayed clocked in, not working, just staring at my computer for all the time I missed this week (cough, cough). Wouldn't they have to pay me minimum wage for that state? ...
Anyone else having this problem this morning or ever before? What did you do when it happened? I just started working anyhow. Guess I will email CCM and ask what to do but for now I am goign to work my shift without being clocked in. it just keeps saying clock on failed. I logged out and logged back in but still the same message. thanks and have a great tuesday! ...
The requirement for ICs to use a time clock is apparently to protect the service from being sued for unpaid labor, right? If you sign in honestly, i.e. whenever you are doing anything for this job with the service, tech tweaking, software installation, training, spreadsheets, research, phone calls, etc., etc., etc., it would put you into overtime and you are fired, right?
I'm just curious if anyone is given written instructions to sign in ONLY when your fingers will be pounding the ke ...
Recently new to KS and have a ? If I am scheduled three 8 hour days at 24 hours a week and I sit her most nights for 8 hours but only get maybe 20 reports but I stayed clocked in because when trained I was told since I was not at 40 I could stay clocked in as they just did not want anyone in overtime. Will I be paid minimum wage because obviously I was not even making that even though I had to watch the account or I would get in trouble since there is a very short TAT on some of them. I do no ...
My company has started having us use a time clock now. What happens when we have NJA? Stay on the clock and wait? Keep clocking in and out looking for jobs?
Need advice for those who use a time clock with their company. ...
Just wondering what other MTs think. I have always used (but my experience started with handwritten notes in handwritten charts) "9:00 position" or "12:00 position" but I've been corrected several times to "9-o'clock position." To me, this looks "funny." What do other MTs think? ...
If you need to get your lines in but you've worked your 40 hours or plan on working your whole 40 hours, can you hop on and type off the clock? I've asked this to my company and I get a vague answer, probably because legally they can't tell me to do it. Does anyone else know if you can, or do you, type off the clock to get more lines in?
Thanks!

Working off the Clock - Midnite Rider
Posted: Jan 21st, 2015 - 4:48 pm In Reply to: Understand they are taking on new clients - MTI have been an MT for 20 plus years and have never worked for a company where they had a time clock. When I first hired on with my present company, my supervisor, who is also a friend, said I can work as many hours as I want but to only report my scheduled hours and that both she and other company echelon will just look the other direction (which ...
So, now if we have to go to the bathroom or some other thing that pulls away from the computer, we dont clock out otherwise we will be locked out for the shift? What, it is no big thing anymore if we are on the clock but doing something else? Doesnt that defeat MQ purpose of getting the work done. If I get locked out, I cant finish my shift so they cant get all the work done. Its okay for me, I will have a free afternoon, LOL, but it hurts MQ turn around time. This& ...
Well, last night (and other times too this is happening) I wanted to approve my timesheet when I went off at midnight... Well, the windows on left side (once again) would not show for me to go in and do this. I put in a call to RTLS and I got no message return. Get this a message in bold print said I had approved the pay period 1/15/2010 at 23:28??? What the heck is that ?? Now this morning, I went to get on my shift at 8:30 a.m. Yeah I know it was 30 mins ear ...
at least once a day I go to clock out, and it clocks me in again automatically immediately. I then have to wait and clock out again during the next minute or so to make sure that I am indeed officially clocked OUT.
Watch it closely. I don't know what is up. ...
I get paid by the line. I can't understand why they make me stick to 40 hours. I can't get enough lines in in 40 hours to make a decent living wage. Does anyone know of a company (not IC) that just lets me work as much as I want? ...
Lest any of you would like to continue debating whether the "activity" mentioned is legal versus illegal. Transcend paid out MANY thousands for violating the laws you all are talking about and did so around 2006-2007 as did Softscript pay out many thousands MORE around the same time and there are no doubt more violations. I do not encourage you to continue being side tracked by the conflicting posts on this board but am quite confident you all will be. ...
