How many excused absences are you allowed... - see message


Posted: Jan 08, 2013

And what happens if you exceed that number?

Don't think there is such a thing! - anon

I think you either have to take PTO or no pay.

If you have small children they used to cut some slack, but - not sure now.

Small Children? - prissy

[ In Reply To ..]
When my boy was small, I got fired from so many jobs when he was sick. Not an excuse. Part of your choice to have kids is to deal with what comes with that territory.

You are allowed THREE, that's all, and I was threatened if over that, termination.

NJA, And Excused Absence, No Work
Mar 04, 2015

Our TSM has sent a couple mass e-mails saying anyone who wanted to use this option of Excused Absence - No Work would be allowed to do so on certain days when it was offered.  If we do this, are those hours subtracted from our 104 hours of Excused Absence - No Pay that we are allowed yearly?  I recall using Excused Absence - No Work last year, and it was not subtracted from our 104 hours.  Has this changed? ...

Feb 02, 2013

I sent a dictation to QC for blanks because the dictator was saying wrong words, and mis-speaking.  I just got about 7 major errors for things which the dictator changed mind, slurred, and that is why I put it in the pending with questions to begin with.  So, is this the correct policy. Put in the blanks, question certain words and then still get in trouble for this as major errors? I did not put through to client, questioned each, put difficult dictator in box, please help and then I ...

Ladies and Gentleman MTs -- Twenty years ago I earned 7 cpl at my job as an IC MT, was treated fairly by my employer, paid weekend and holiday bonuses, as well as quan/qual bonuses.  Although hours were long, worked most holidays and weekends, I earned around $45,000/yr, about $35.00 an hour and was free to choose the hours that I worked.   Could we all just take some control over our professions, please?  Yes, being an MT is a profession.  How much specialized education, t ...

More Blanks Allowed Before Sending To IQA

Guess we have been shipping too much to IQA. When in doubt we don't want to lose money with a wrong guess. ...

I have been with my company for many years and have liked the account I am on until the past 3 months.  Three months ago, they hired on 3 new MTs and now suddenly all the easy doctors disappear from the queue first, even if there are other reports out of TAT.  Warnings have been given by account manager, but only 2 days later, the cherrypickers are back at it.  I am now getting stuck with a majority of the harder docs that no one wants to do and have watched my pay ...

For the MTs who are "struggling" or not making it, etc and to all the MTs who are sure it's a "dying field" or it's "already dead".  What keeps you in the MT field?  I know jobs are real ...

Anyone Know Why Semi-private Hospital Rooms Are Still Allowed Under HIPAA?
Oct 06, 2010

I work for one of the big MTSOs, take annual HIPAA training, and know I am subject to fines or discharge for disclosing someone else̢۪s medical info, either intentionally or accidentally such as via an incorrect C/C. I am therefore baffled as to why hospitals are still allowed to put patients in semiprivate rooms where HIPAA rules just seem to go out the window. For example, just yesterday I returned from a 23-hour overnight after an outpatient procedure at a well-regarded acute-care hos ...

Landmark Frustrations - Aren't Allowed To Work On My Account Due To Low Volume

Once again, we aren't allowed to work on my account due to low volume.  This is about the fifth time in the past week.  I've only been with Landmark for 6 or 7 months and I'm really starting to regret taking a position there.  It was great for the first few months, but then the work started disappearing.  Lucikly, I have a second interview next week with another company.  If I get hired, I'll probably just keep Landmark as a side job, because that's really all it� ...

We Have Allowed Them To Redefine A "line."
Dec 19, 2014

I woke up this morning and the thought that has been swirling crystalized somewhat. Ladies and gentleman, those of us on platforms with "adjustments" have allowed them to redefine what a "Line" is. A line is no longer characters typed (including or not including spaces) divided by 65, which is an industry standard. We have allowed them to make how many characters equal a line a lot more than that, i.e. 5% more, 12% more, etc. !!! We are being penalized for working smarter not harder! If ...
