I guess there is a reason to cut our PTO...Can't even take a vacation when you want one anyway.

Been off for a week and I am having a heck of a time trying to convince myself to sit back in this chair and do it again. I keep trying the 'ol "at least it's a job speech," but I sure don't want to do this after being gone for a week. That is sad because I used to like what I do. Now it is worse than sitting in the dentist's chair having teeth pulled - at least that is temporary and you get to get up after an hour or two. But I did miss you guys and am gla ...

How does everyone out there handle vacations? If you have your own accounts, not using independent contractors because the load of work is perfectly manageable ... until you want a week off?? Looking for a good way to take a vacation but still stay in business and keep accounts happy!! ...

I put in a request on Teamwork for my vacation about a month and a half ago. It still has not been approved. Are we supposed to email CCM with vacation request also? What is the point of all of these functions on Teamwork if you still have to email CCM for approval? Just an extra step thats a waste of time. Anyone know? ...

how do they handle you being sick, etc, when you are an IC? Do you get PTO? It has been so long since I was an IC I do not remember. I'm thinking you get nothing and are able to take off whenever you need to. ...

I've been in this business for 30 years, but am under employed at the moment and am starting to get bored to tears with having so little work to do. But, it seems that all of the ads that I see are looking for full time transcriptionists. Surely there must be some companies or MTSOs somewhere who would need an MT to help with part time or per diem work, to help with vacation coverage or maybe for temporary work just to help clear up an occasional back log and such. But, d ...

I was wondering how it's done. I have two days a year when I'm not available to work because of a family reunion. Since most of the fun doesn't start until after 12 but we have to be there very early because of the committees we're on, I hate to waste that time doing nothing when I could be working. My company does not allow satellite. Is this the only way it can be done? If not, what are the required items besides a laptop? Thanks in advance ...

How long does it take to get approval for a leave request? It's been over a week now and my request is still unapproved. Sheesh! ...

I know this is a dumb question but how do you know how many hours you still have available for vaca? Is it the number under "Balance" in Teamwork? Thanks! ...

I am probably just jealous, but I find it hard to be happy for them taking these luxurious vacations when on my wages I am lucky to go to Price Chopper and WalMart. Tell us you were gone, had a nice time and don't rub it in. It is not making us feel more friendly and "family like", or at least to me it doesn't. ...

Wondering if anyone has been able to use vacation time yet? Been so long since I heard anything. Supposed to be a "benefit" from the Service Contract Act. ...

Let me get this right: 1. We are 8 business days from the beginning of crazy work. 2. We are out of TAT a lot now, client unhappy. 3. You want us to widdle down our saved time off to just 2 days; there are 30 biz days left to end of year. 4. You want roll-over time (only up to 16 hours) to be used by 03/31/2015. 5. Many of us are plannning vacations, thus coverage for pissed off acounts will be even less. 6. Many of us are very very concerned with any mergers/buy-out. NEVER, in my work his ...

Has anyone received an answer to their requests to take time off before 12/31? I have sent in numerous requests and have heard nothing at all. Just wondering if maybe my emails are not going through. ...

I have put in a request for time off and have been told that I need to find coverage for that day. I am a subcontractor. Is this normal? ...

How do you handle this??? I have a few clients that don't tell me when they will not be in the office and then right before they go away everything becomes a STAT. How can I make them understand that without them being there I am losing time and money and that if I knew I could have made alternate plans. Any advice would be great! Cathy ...

The one who gets her/his jollies from kicking MTs when they are down and struggling. It is summer...why not get outside and reconnect with society rather than hiding behind your anonymous computer and picking on folks here. Have a nice day. LOL ...

Did I dream this or did I not see a while back that part timers would still get 5 days of vacation time for the year? I don't see it on my PTO balance. Anyone have any information on that? Thanks in advance. ...

"Accrual rate of 0.02 per production hour." I guess I am stupid but I don't know what this means. 0.02 what? hours? Also, does it say anywhere, like on our paystub, how much vacation time we have accrued to date? TIA! ...

can't get the search function to work on MT Stars, either. Thanks! ...

Just great. Even though it says on their little line count thing that I do 488 lines per hour, benefit rate goes down $3.00 an hour. I didn't do that many before so what gives MM? ...

I have read countless articles today that state that the reason that so much MT work is being outsourced is b/c there are lack of MTs on the US side working in the industry. I love when the uneducated write these articles. They are totally missing the entire reason work is outsourced, MONEY. There would be plenty US based MTs to do the work provided we were paid what we are worth. The reason the work even went over to India and other countries is b/c it is cheaper for the ...

How's this for arrogance: "In the past she had been given this medication, which she had declined due to reading the package insert, so I advised her not to read package inserts and just use the medication as prescribed." ...

Last year my relatives started getting calls from a collection agency saying I owed a Payday loan and would go to jail, etc. if I did not pay up. Needless to say this was quite disturbing as I had no idea what was going on and these people had all my info. I talked to a lawyer who said it was a scam from India. A link is below. Of course Americans can rip you off too but sending confidential info overseas is just asking for trouble. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg http://w ...

when terminating employees. I have seen employees with more experience than me terminated. I have no work and only have 1 account, surprised I am not out the door. I think I will just continue to work when I can, an hour or less a day, until they say no more. ...

I haven't been to MTStars much lately and noticed some are talking about being terminated. Are you given a reason for the termination? I scraped by my last evaluation (this percentage you have to keep is scary no matter how they tell you the scoring is changed). Scared silly I'll be terminated because don't want retire until I'm 65 (getting close) and too old to start looking for a home job again because I can't work outside the home anymore. Wha ...

FIRST report out of the box, no name, but there IS an ACCOUNT NUMBER! So, let's see, how many ways can we spell this name to see if we can find it. Should I try? Well, I decide to write a pend note and then try a few spellings afterwards. I get to MEDICATIONS section. He invented a new medication! He says TOPEPENEX. Huh? It printed TOPAMAX. Okay, since I don't have a degree in pharmacology, do I look up what Topamax is for? Does he mean XOPENEX? WELL, I CAN'T look it up o ...
