OK, I checked my statistics for - Not feeling the warmth

1-1/2 days of work.  Out of 50 reports I sent 4 to QA (none of which were able to be filled in by QA). The reports I sent to QA totaled over 200 lines!  I did the calculations (lines done divided by lines sent to QA x 100) and I came in over 10%.

It is a no-brainer...MQ says they trust me to make the decision to send blanks to QA or the customer, so I will no longer be sending many reports (especially the long ones) to QA once this process is put in place.  I was absolutely shocked to see how easy it will be to go over that 5% as I did not think I sent too many reports to QA and all were legitimate blanks.

I spoke to a lawyer friend and she said it sounds like I should have no problem getting unimployment, or even filing a wrongful termination suit, if fired for sending too many reports with blanks to the customer because this is a very gray area what they are asking us to do by making the decision to send or not.  As to getting fired for going over the 5% she is not sure about that, but says that companies have the right to put policies like this into place and they are legal.  She also suggested I look for other employment, which I am going to actively pursue now. MedQuist's loss of a long-time good MT with audits in the 99% range, very sad.

I have good accounts (ASR included) and a wonderful management team and love my job, but with the threat of this kind of pay cut and/or other disiplinary action that can affect my ability to gain other employment that is a deal breaker for me.
