Unemployment - prissy

Please let us know if you get it.

I have gotten it every time I applied in the past - why not now?

[ In Reply To ..]
I have applied and received it 3 times while working for MQ. Why would that change? If they dont provide you with work, they pay unemployment. We are not ICs, we are employees. There is not enough work to complete my schedule. I applied today for last week, and will report that I am shorted hours for this week, as I did not have enough work to complete my shift today, and will get approved again.

Nothing for me in the north - merry christmas

This is just horrible.

What are we supposed to do? Our CCM sent out - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
an email aggravated that too many are filing NJA tickets. Do we sit here & hope a job comes through? I haven't been here that long & have never filed an NJA ticket, so I really don't know what I'm supposed to do. Can someone please tell me how you handle it?

Here's what to do sm - mt

[ In Reply To ..]
punch in. Give a 15 minute punch. Put a Remedy ticket. Put times for punch and state NJA. Take the ticket number from Remedy and put an alert on your 15 minute punch for your manager. Indicate if you want to make up the time, take time without pay, or take PTO. Then, you are off for the day. That's all.

Thank you for answering. So even though they - sm

make you work holidays, since there will be no work, we just have to do that & pretty much will have the holiday off?

We clock in and sit with no job for 15 minutes then clock out. Times would be clock - in time and clock out time. You then SM

[ In Reply To ..]
get a ticket and put those times. Sitting clocked in for 15 minutes will have a negative impact on our PTO rate. I guess they will stop at nothing to squeeze every last penny from us.

I got same email, saying too many working between XX and XX. But - 2 days later, got email from RTL SM

[ In Reply To ..]
saying during that very same time, there was a late backlog, the result of not enough MTs working. So typical. The right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.

Two hours into shift and still NJA. - I love this company !

file an NJA ticket. that is what we - have been told

[ In Reply To ..]

What I do - mmmodalll

[ In Reply To ..]
I never file a NJA remedy ticket. I just punch a 15-minute punch in and out, and list it as work availability with an alert to the manager, all done in Teamwork. I've been doing that always. I don't even know how Remedy works. When I have an issue, I call the helpdesk......

This is what I do, too. But lately calls to help desk, they want to get into - my computer, but I never let them. nm

you can refuse - TooOldForThis
[ In Reply To ..]
To let them in your computer? If you have "no work available" then why would they need to get into your computer, to see if you're lying?
I didnt call them about NJA. Twice I called about DQS issues & they - wanted in my PC but I said no. nm

NJA - pamt

[ In Reply To ..]
I found this out personally. If you file an OOW ticket too often, you get a phone call and are told you have to change your work hours! Now I am stuck with the worst shift in the world. Just wanted to give everyone fair warning.

And they're still hiring... - nm

For Those Wondering What's Happening
Feb 06, 2014

You do know or remember that MModal is considered a distressed company, carrying around $750 million in debt, and last month they hired restructuring advisors? This article came from the Wall Street Journal. IMHO, another round of American MTs are about to be "restricted" out of a job, with more and more jobs going to India. This would explain why there are no jobs in any region, not because of snow. They need to save as much money as they can, big time. ...

If there's one thing I've learned in my 61 years (that's the body; the brain operates at the teenage level), is not to guess at the reason for things. I've followed the comments here about Imedx, some of which made me go "hmmm" and others had me rolling my eyes. You can guess the Imedx situation to death, but there's only one way to separate the "I THINK what's going on is ..." and "I KNOW what's going on."

Are These Wacky Audits Only Happening
May 28, 2010

to people who have been here the longest, i.e., paid the most? I dont know what an average pay would be now, but I am guessing 8 cpl for transcription and 4 for editing, so lets use that.  If you are making more than that, are you getting these insane audits or is it everyone they are targeting... Answer Over 8 or Under 8 if you have received one of these failing audits suddenly.   I am over 8 and have had 2 failing audits in a row now. ...

Do You Thing There Is A Turnabout Happening In Transcription
Jul 19, 2013

Just curious if anyone is starting to see a trickle of companies taking back their transcription from the MTSO? I am starting to see some places who once outsourced bring it back in house. No hospitals, unfortunately, but the smaller to medium medical groups, afraid of the liability of having their medical records roaming all over India. I know of an HR person at a large group of clinics here who told me they are bringing it all back in house because of liability and HIPPA issues. They pay $20.0 ...

This is exciting, you guys!  Our local NPR station (where I work full time) is planning to air an hour-long radio cast about the effects of the electronic medical records implementation on our MT careers.  I was telling our producer that I worked for 27 years as a full-time MT, both in the clinic/hospital setting and at home, but 5 years ago I could no longer make it financially as a full-time MT.  That's when I went to work in the public sector doing something unrelated to t ...
