NJA hours versus OT/extra

I don't know about you all but my CCM is constantly asking us to work "extra," even when there are no late jobs and not an over abundance of dictation. What is the deal? The other night we were requested to work at least 1 extra hour. Tonight they are asking again. I don't know about you all but I have a family and other things I like to do other than work. Don't they realize we have lives away from MQ??? Besides, that extra hour is really not g ...

All week NJA. Everyone has hours to make up I am sure. At 9:30 CCM puts out E-Mail for OT and extra hours for weekend. At the time of her mail "work is low" so why are we looking for OT and extra time committments???? ...

To help with your backlog, so stop sending me e-mails about it! The only way I'll help you with your backlog is if you pay me what I'm worth, and change this wage-theft-based pay plan you just dished out. Until then, I'll do the bare minimum for your company and do extra work at my other job, where I'm paid what I'm worth AND praised on a regular basis for my work. ...

I'm dieing here trying to stay awake.. ...

Anybody out there in my POD and want to help me interpret our mandatory OT? HDSM is KD and scheduler is CS. They are awesome (I'm lucky to be in this POD and know it). They always try to keep us off mandatory OT (unsuccessfully as of late), but I'm so confused today, reading the latest email. I'm not sure the company knows what working PART-TIME means or what agreed upon schedules mean either. I just read an email from our scheduler that I believe is stating th ...

Does anyone on here know of a company other than formerly known as Intellitype, now Castlepoint Management, who lets their MTs sign up for how many lines they will be transcribing each day other than a set schedule with set hours so you are not sitting there with no work and passing time. ...

Please don't discourage me from applying to Nuance. I just lost my job today and I need a job BAD! Plus, I've only got two semesters of college left before I graduate and move out of this field. Anyway, can someone tell me what 2nd shift hours are? And I'm curious to know when most of you work. Thanks ...

Somehow, I think we should be getting paid for the time we are waiting between jobs, especially since the wait isn't fitting into the 15-minute wait period. - Of course, waiting put under work availability. ...

...check it out for yourselves. Employees are not independent contractors. If you signed up for a straight 8 per day, your time sheet should reflect only the breaks you take off the clock. They are so messing with you folks! ...

Two words that come up often for questioning. These are strictly used in an orthopedic setting. Stedman's and Dorland's list end point and hand grip HOWEVER the office transcription manager, girl is asking for me to correct this to endpoint and handgrip. She is only basing this on what an old medical transcription company she used to work for had her typing. I would rather base it on the medical reference. The doctors are not even aware this has come up. She is ...

Well, let me think about this....I just checked Fiesa and I have two 100% reports in there. I'm normally off Thurs/Fri. So if I just don't work anymore chances are good I will stay right at that 100%. If I do (and I KNOW I'll get the worst dictators AND my backup account I rarely work on, happens every time in this situation)....but chances are HIGH that I will get that worked audited and then drop below 100%, prob evening falling off the "grid" and/or having to ...

The doctor dictates: The patient's back pain responds fairly well to Tylenol; in fact better than ibuprofen. He typically takes 1 Extra Strength three times a day. Do I capitalize Extra Strength because it is assumed part of Tylenol? Or do I leave it lower case because it is not typed with the brand name Tylenol? ...

I assume that the MT companies set up a contract with the client for them to pay on a per-line basis. Of course, they charge more than they pay us; that's how they make their money & that's fine. But what I'm wondering is... when we get a report that comes in as VR instead of straight typing, where does the extra money go, since we get paid less for VR. I feel like I work just as hard, if not harder on VR than typing a report. So why don't we make ...

Is extraaxial (brain tumor) one word or is it hyphenated? ...

is extra-strength Tyelnol hyphenated? ...

was just told that md-it was going to need an extra few days to pay me. This is not the end of the world for me, but it does make me worry a bit about their financial health. Could someone out there tell me if they have had this problem too? ...

I sit with NJA....on my SCHEDULED day to work. Once again, thanks a lot MQ for your oh so talented way of giving OT and incentives when they aren't necessary and taking away work from people who are actually scheduled to work. I appreciate it. ...

to work OT, do you still get time-and-a-half line rate, or is it straight line rate plus the $10/hr? ...

Just wondering to those of you who received the last quarterly bonus, how long did it take for them to pay you the bonus. I didn't receive it last time but should receive it this time. I know the quarter ends the end of June and last time they sent e-mails stating it would take a little while. Thanks for any info! ...

Every time that I log onto the system, I am reminded how disrespected, how underpaid, how unappreciated that I truly am. So - MTSO - you can publish your "SOS, EXTRA HELP NEEDED!" messages all you want. If it ever comes down to your being willing to PAY for me to give precedence to YOUR needs, perhaps I'll consider it. MEANWHILE, GO SUCK AN EGG, YOU BLOODSUCKERS!! ...

January 26 is Republic Day in India. It is one of their most important events/holidays in India. It is kind of like our 4th of July. It is the anniversary when they became a republic. They will be dancing in the streets, eating tons of Chaat and drinking lassi until the cows come home (literally), I guess. (I have an Indian friend who tells me these things.) Maybe we will have some extra work. Some of them will be working, but not all I would imagine. Whoo. ...

For all that do not want to do the extra research to fill in the blanks cuz it takes too much time, too much effort, losing money trying to get it all done to help your qa submission rate I'd like to welcome you to what we as QA/MME have been doing for 3 cpl ....all of that research and more. Now maybe some MTs (not all) will stop throwing QA under the bus and realize what we've had to do all this time for 3 cpl. Thank you and have a nice day. ...

can you work as much as you want at Transcend or does over time have to be offered? I saw a post below where it said people may be working to bolster their line count as it is near the end of pay period. TIA ...

backlog, yet OT is not approved & we have to strictly adhere to our schedules... Doesn't make any sense... Beg us to work extra, yet tell us we are not allowed to do that, LOL. ...

Its not just the suits who don't care about the MTs. ...

When I get partial dictation reports on EditScript where you don't have to do anything in regards to header/demographics, my speed in terms of lines per hour is almost twice as fast. When there are so many new worktypes with new MT Instructions, the speed goes way down. When the header shows no medical record number and I have to enter in demographics what speaker dictates, the speed goes way down. The point is that I think every one of the reports should be like partial dictations in wh ...

thanks in advance!! ...

Dr. just dictated OBGYN history and then says transfusion s/l extra negative then goes on to dictate medications heading. What could that be and is it part of the OBGYN or is transfusion a new heading? Thanks! ...

If it takes more, how many more? I realize this is an answer dependent on many factors, but I'm talking in general terms. Thank you. ...

I am hoping that some of you can give me your thoughts about this. I have been an MT for about 14.5 years and lost my job about six months ago to the facillity going front-end ASR (I think). I basically transcribed only one specialty for that time, although in the beginning I did some gastro and chiro for a private practice. I have very little experience in doing the basic 4, I do have a little in DS, H&P and consults. No experience in OPs. I have been searching for jobs in my speci ...
