I sometimes think maybe it's me... but this week in total as of right now my paycheck gross income is at $165. I only have 17 hours to go for my 40. frustrating to say the least.

you doubled my pay - for the week

So sick and tired of this.

thought i would add MY line count.. - radMT

Since in rad i get paid per report. I thought sharing my line count to the post'r who shared their count. 2099. and still only 165. I dont think this matters....the line count. for me anyways.

I've had tons of work since Monday. 3000 lines a day. - NM

Tons of work - Shorty

[ In Reply To ..]
You must not work in the North region. I have so much time to make up that I don't have enough days in the week I am allowed to make it up to get it done.

work in the north is like the lockness, you hear of it - but never see it

Just keep being told to hang in there, transfers are going through or once the crisis (Hurricane, holiday, system shutdown) passes things will get better.

I am right with you shorty - I have

about 10 hours in and I work a 40-hour week. I check day, afternoon, night, middle of the night, weekends there is hardly any work at least in my North Region. The holiday my *** it has been this way since TSM merging and oh let's not forget Sandy, the holidays, and any other reason why they give for NJA. Our BoB is overstaffed plain and simple. Just keep on shipping that work off and then wonder why so many UE claims are being filed and NJA tickets. They are waiting for people to just quit instead of doing the right thing perhaps laying off (yes I know that would suck). At least that would give a little time to perhaps school yourself or something instead checking all day and night for the whopping work flow to come that never does.

that's awesome! 3k a day - radMT

[ In Reply To ..]
not sure how i would do this, although maybe it's feasible.

that's awesome - kittykat

[ In Reply To ..]
I am RAD, too. 3k lines a day is still chump change, it means we are doing a lot of the longer reports. I could make 6k a week and still make chump change!!! They should take that into consideration I am working evenings and that is when the residents dictate and the MR's and CT's and special procedures are done. This is a crock and no shift dif till 9 p.m. We're screwed!!

kittykat, i was responded to other post.... - radMT

[ In Reply To ..]
...the other poster who said she types 3k a day. I've only had 2100 this week Mon-Wed. I've also run out of work a couple times. Impressed you work in the evening....it's difficult for me to do mentally. no shift diff til 9pm. I was wondering that!!! u get paid per report??

kittykat, i was responded - kittykat

[ In Reply To ..]
Yes, I get paid per report. I didn't realize regarding responding to other post.

3000 lines a day! - Myk

I'm in an HIT program after doing transcription for about 5 years and deciding that I'm tired of being a wandering sheep, and I just read the first chapter in one of my textbooks, which says that "speech recognition software is 95% to 99% accurate." I'll be pointing out in my class that that is a grievous error. ...

I had a HUGE eye opener yesterday.

Then your order goes directly to the kitchen electronically and your dinner is brought to you by a staff member w ...

worked for, I must admit that their unrelenting and harsh criticism of my work and their 99.7% plus demand for perfection has made me a better transcriptionist. I now work for a company where I acheive 100% on nearly all audits and had the same experience at another company before this one. I just knew I was better than N or M had me made out to be. ...

I've heard for maybe 10 years now that right now, 2010, is when vast numbers of MTs were supposed to hit retirement age and quit work. What is retirement age? I don't want to retire, but when does a person really need to retire even if they don't want to? ...

Small to medium-sized company lost a very large long-term client. Naturally, the MTs are to blame. Reason given was the work was out of turn around on weekends and MTs did not meet their commitments. I can't say what percentage of MTs did not meet their commitments. I do know that I always have. I also know that I have kept an accurate log of the work on this very large account and 75 to 90% of the time the work runs out on Sunday, with no work available on Mon ...

Anyone else one of the new hires? Are you on the new huge account? I've been twiddling my thumbs now. Guess I need to apply elsewhere. I had been told before it was a good company, but I need to be actually typing. That really is a lot of MTs to hire and then not have the new account begin. I read, below, someone said it keeps being delayed. ...

workflow changes due to a large account being lost (wasn't my primary). Wondered why all of a sudden I was off my primary and getting mostly this account. Of course, they didn't know it was leaving until it disappeared. I'd probably have a heart attack if I every heard the truth. Never know what hospital is going to show up in the queve, more longer transcription jobs, ASR jobs that have to be typed because the ASR does not match up, some horrible dict ...

I've had a huge drop in work at Landmark for the past 3 months. I've been there for 3 years working on the same account the entire time. I've looked at my paychecks during these same exact months for the past years and I had much bigger paychecks, meaning much more work. Here it is a weekend and I had hardly any work yesterday and so far no work today and this account always had work. It's been this way for almost 4 months. Anyone work on the big account that starts ...

Here's the deal...my company says if/when you work a holiday, they will give you the equivalent hours in PTO to use later on (you work 8, you get 8 PTO). I checked with my state's DOL, and they said absolutely incorrect. You must be an exempt salaried employee for them to do this. They must pay regular employees cash money. The DOL also said that unless the company is a licensed health care facility in my state, which they are not--they only contract with ...
