For what - be more specific

Not sure what you are asking. For no reason or something like HIPAA error or time card fraud?
Love These nonspecific questions - Not! But want to help

Okay, is this a hypothetical question for future reference?
Or are you fearing or does someone fear being terminated after 15 years? Or did upi pr someone get terminated after 15 years?
Need more info, please.
Terminated after 15 Years - prissy

No, but I wouldn't be surprised. I've been with them 10 years and have been threatened with termination at least 6 times. Still here though. I don't think they care how long you have been with the company if they want to fire you, they will.
Yes, I have. Too many absences and too many errors. nm - It happens. Time is nothing these days. sm

It was not an MT though as the MTs I worked with and knew personally were very good at what they do and always punctual and accurate for the most part but in those days we could ask the doctor and there was no such thing as QA; large hospital.
Currently being a virtual MT, I have no idea what goes on in people's lives.
Why would time matter if you have too many abscenses and - too many errors.

If you are not doing your job properly it shouldn't matter how many years you have in, you should be fired.
Yes, of course. - sm

Time served does not equate immunity to termination if you've done something against company policy.

My Turn!! Terminated My Nap/terminated My Employment Aug 16, 2013I got the call this afternoon. Finished my shift, laid down for a nap and phone woke me up hour and 15 minutes later. She was reading a script in a dismal voice and obvious what was happening, but it dragged on and on.

Wonder If I'll Be Terminated Next Feb 22, 2013I've been working for MModal 2 years part-time. Other than the usual stuff, they've left me alone pretty much. Now all of a sudden I get an email saying one client complained I'm leaving too many blanks. Recently, I had about a week of horrible, scratchy, low volume dictations that were not even discernible in some places and I had to leave blanks. I think that's what they're referring to. Since then, I'm being audited every day, ...
To Anyone Who Has Been Terminated: Mar 08, 2013through an email or did they at least have the decency to send you a letter or call? Or did you just try to start work and find yourself locked out of the system? I know they have to at least send you something telling you about COBRA if you had health insurance.
I think my head is on the chopping block too, and part of me is really hoping that is the case. There once was a time when I would have just told them to go _____ themselves, turned on my heel and walked away w ...
Terminated Aug 15, 2013I was so shocked to get my termination effective immediately and I did hear human resources would send me a letter but do you know what equipment needs to be returned. Just the computer or will they want the monitor, foot pedal, keyboard? I am sure this company will want it ALL back but forgot to ask. On the upside they pay you for the termination conference call. I always thought those terminated surely were not working their hours or had bad quality but I can assure you that is not the cas ...
Terminated. May 22, 2015Well, it looks like Nuance is starting to get what they want....giving out walking papers because of their "patient safety" bullshit. I was fired today because of their new metrics scheme and the QA pend percentage being above the minimum when 99.9% of my pends were MANDATORY pends, and because of crappy audio, VR that had to be deleted and started from scratch and dictators that don't know how to key in the right patient info and crappy dictators in general and me painstakingly suffe ...

Got Terminated Today! Mar 28, 2012Well after being put on 100% QA for 5 days, not passing an audit at 97.95% I was terminated today. This company is unbelievable. They not only knock you down, play with your mind daily, they set me up to fail, I told them about this doctor that I had critical erros on, that she was impossible to do, that I had sent all the work they sent me for her to QA after I did my best to try and get it done. But as I said I must of had 10 of her reports&nb ...
Employment Terminated Nov 07, 2012I got canned yesterday for not making over minimum wage. I meet over the minimum lines requirement, but still not enough for minimum wage for my state. We had also been running out of work a lot lately. I had one verbal warning over the phone a little over a month ago, no written warning, and no "performance management," and was scheduled for a mentoring session later this month...totally taken by surprise. I was hoping to hang on until retirement in 2 years, but with the drop in pay, increase i ...
TERMINATED TODAY Aug 15, 2013Yes, got the call about a half hour ago. Guess I can collect now. I know others are being fired today too. Must say my TSM and QA were superb people and I know it is not their decision. I will come back and say more later but right now I need to settle down and think, take a long walk. There are other transcriptionist places I absolutely know will hire me, but I only want to work part time. This stinks. MModal is the most scrupulous, heartless, horribly ...
TERMINATED AFTER 9 YEARS Mar 27, 2014In 2005, I had been hired on by (then) MEDQUIST. It was wonderful. Started at 9.75 cents per character line, 65-word, plus spaces. They were 'glad' to get me. I sailed along year after year, and they seemed to like my work. NO COMPLAINTS. I worked hard, then received approval to work SUNDAY for 24 hours and Monday for 16 hours. This was tough, but I had to deal with weather/power issues, internet outage issues and enough work issues. I was working for a large acct for ...

Keystrokes - Got Terminated Last Week May 11, 2011Well I'm the one that got terminated last week. I just got an e-mail I probably was not suppose to get. But the account I had been on for 3 weeks is now going to voice recognition in 2 weeks. I just wonder if they did not get rid of me to hire someone for pennies to work for them. Sounds Fish to me. I wonder if anyone else got terminated. ...

Apparently my hours did not match on Webclock and the system last week. We are getting emails every week stating make sure you check this or that including do ctr + alt + I to check the print, which will only do it for 1 page, so then we have to do it for each page.

TERMINATED: A WOMAN SCORNED Aug 15, 2013It's 7 hours since being terminated and I have begun the dismantling of my office, sorting through e-files, papers, sticky notes, reminders, etc., gotta oil the shredder because it's gonna be working overtime (pun intended). After 26 years of working here in this room I have many emotions. I loved working at home for Secrephone and Medquist. MModal, however, is the worst, the worst management crew, no scruples, no morals, (just plain no brains), money-hungry execs loo ...

To All Those Terminated I Feel Your Pain. A Year Ago Aug 16, 2013this week I was terminated, along with several others, from a different company. I was an excellent MT, as reflected in my reviews and monthly QA reports. I knew that something was coming, but never suspected how/what happened.
I hated my account, I hated working on MModal platform, I just hated everything about my job and was so stressed I was physically sick many days, but I never missed a day of work.
I can't tell you it has been easy. I still have not been able to find a j ...
MT Employment Opportunities After Being Terminated For Failing Audit Feb 15, 2014I was looking at MT ads and a lot of them only need 98% accuracy, but M-Modal had to have at least 99.6%, going to 99.7% soon. I wonder about different MT companies' thoughts on this - or whether I should even think about looking for future medical transcription work. ...
MEDSCRIBE-Aggressively Hired "hourly Editors", Terminated All 2 Wks Later May 12, 2012Quit job to take guaranteed hourly paid editor position with MedScribe (FL) 3 weeks ago. Recruiter promised huge volume of work, plenty of backup accounts on hourly pay plus CPL for transcribed lines. Was rushed through paperwork to start immediately, gave only 5 days notice to former employer (burned that bridge) for an hourly paid "sure thing". Never saw hourly pay; only 0.08 CPL for full transcribe acute care, and only to catch up an out-of-TAT acct they knew was bailing ...

Has Anyone Ever Heard Of This ? Nov 11, 2009After all of these many, many, many, many (okay, you get the point) years of transcribing, my wrists don't hurt, my back doesn't hurt and my neck is still okay, but the one thing that has me really bothered is my heel !!! It really bothers me lately and I have tried putting a small pillow, a thick piece of flannel and many other things under my heel to alleviate this bothersome pain, but to no avail. Has anyone got any suggestions or is there some type of heel cup or someth ...
Have You Heard? Nov 24, 2009I have tested a few times before on mttest.com, a site that several MT companies use for testing potential MT's, and recently received this piece of information: In sections that require you to type in the correct answer, typing a "Capital" letter in the first letter of your answer constitutes a wrong answer. I don't know if this is accross the board but thought it good info to share. Maybe everyone already knew this, and I can't even remember if I did that on previous tests but i ...
Has Anyone Else Heard This? Sm Dec 03, 2009I just heard that the 2 largest MTSOs in the world are approaching virtually every large to medium-sized hospital and medical center in the country with an offer for 10 cpl for transcription. I'm not even sure who the 2 largest are, but I'm pretty sure one of them is CBay and both are offshore companies to be able to offer that rate. This is really concerning because this could lower the rates for U.S. MTs even MORE or could literally put all U.S. companies out of ...
