Guess there is no work on my regulars. Going to have trouble meeting minimum and God forbid they audit me, probably wouldn't make the 99% accuracy. I don't want No Job Available, but this is tough also. Really long tedious day.

I know the feeling. I applied for partial unemployment. I don't know if I will get it but I sure hope so.

partial unemployment? - anonyn

I have never heard of partial unemployment before. Did not know such a thing existed.

You can collect partial unemployment if your hours are reduced, thereby reducing your wages. The way we are paid is a little complicated since we are not paid hourly but our wages were still reduced. I figure it doesn't hurt to try.
You can absolutely draw partial UE - I did it on-line

The way it worked in my state, if you make less than what you could draw on UE, you can collect partial UE for the difference.

I applied on-line, too. By applying now, it will also put us in a position to collect full benefits if things go sour soon (more than they have).

Ohhh...to be employed by such a wonderful company!!! - MTpockets

What A Wonderful Company Diskriter Used To Be

What a wonderful company Diskriter used to be.  Honest and treated their employees with class.  Now the company is a front for offshore transcription that provides crappy transcription service and treats employees horribly.  If anyone is looking to work for this company I would think twice.  Your paycheck will never be right, accural for PTO will not happen correctly and you will not get paid upon termination without involving the Department of Labor.  Seriously just fedup with it all.  Go ...

Most Productive/popular Abbrev Expander?

The company I work for is changing over to ChartNet, with its ExpandText expander. I don't like that it has no way of adding/creating new shortcuts without using the mouse. The expander I use now is not compatible with ChartNet, and I'm wondering which expander is used by the majority of MTs....has no limit to the number of expansions/abbrevs it can hold, etc. Would welcome any suggestions. Thinking about Shorthand, but wondering what most MTs are using. ...

End Of Pay Period . . .

and I'm a little concerned.  My supervisor religiously sends out an email reminding people to approve their timecards, and this time - nothing.  I've put in the last of my PTO to cover all the hours I missed this week due to NJA (which is basically a failure of management to staff accounts correctly), and she still hasn't approved it.  She usually has by this time.  My concern is that MModal is going to start pulling stunts like some of these other c ...


End Of Pay Period
Jan 30, 2013

This is to those MTs who do next to nothing for most of the pay period and then the last 2 days decide to make up all of their lines.  It really screws those of who show up every day and work our full day.  I've spent more time hitting the "get next job" today than I've transcribed lines.  I looked back at the last 5 pay periods and every single one of them on the last 2 days of the pay, I was barely able to make my lines. If you're going to be a slacker then just ...
