Anyone ever filed a claim against MQ? I don't even know how to go about it? Any help
Inform them of your injury - oldestMT

I'm not sure if that's time-sensitive or not, but you have to notify them within short order of the injury. The "claim" stuff comes from them.
I have read here that people would like to know when someone has been successful with a TAA claim.
I have been 100% successful and am enrolled in school.
I receive UI benefits.
My school is 100% paid for.
All of my books are paid for.
I am given a supplies allowance per semester.
I filed a claim,
I was denied,
I appealed,
I won on appeal.
The state of Colorado appealed again and their appeal was denied.
There is a lot of paperwork to do, but that can only be filled out one sheet ...
I'm wondering if those who claiim that this is 'just business' and it's how business is done everywhere can give a valid reason why it is more beneficial for the company to lay off without giving notice versus letting employees know they are getting laid off? I'm trying to look at the employer perspective now and see what benefits the company by not announcing future lay-offs. ...
How in no more than 90 days, VR would be completely trained to put out perfect drafts? What the happened to that? I am going to throw that up to my TL, just for grins, every time they rake us over for critical errors, customer complaints and so on. Yes, we are making the errors (or at least some of them) but with drafts getting worse, we are being set up! ...
So far I am 7.5 hours short due to NJA. I have some PTO time avaialble. I want to put a claim in to get started, because the last time I filed in October 2011 they held myr first week, and I did not get that money and went without pay. I cannot go without pay, so I want to get the ball rolling on the partial UE, then I can get checks and not have to use PTO or worry, since I make about min wage nowadays anyhow.
Sorry if this is confusing. ...
I thought the CCM said that we would be able to claim part of a shift; if someone posted an 8 hour shift, but I can only work 4 of those hours, I could claim it and someone else might be able to claim the other 4.
If anyone knows, it would save me about a week or more of time waiting for a response.
Thanks! ...
I just got off the phone with my state's UE office. I was told that if I work more than 32 hours in a week, I will not receive partial UE for that week. One of the questions asked when filing for a weekly claim by phone is:
During the week, did you miss work that was scheduled for you? Answer "YES" if you did not work all of the hours that were available for you with your current employer.
If I "release" myself from work due to NJA, am I missing "work that ...
I'm doing my taxes on TurboTax and it says you can claim the home office deduction if you work at home for the "benefit of your employer, ie, if no office or desk is provided." Does this apply to us ? I'm worried about taking the deduction and getting audited or something. I've never taken it in the past. Wondering if it's even worth it for me if we indeed can take it (I don't own a home). ...
Those of you who claim to make TONS OF MONEY TYPING.... You are not straight typing MTs under regular circumstances IF I believe you...and I don't.
You probably work 7 days a week, all hours of the day like most MTs. You DO NOT work a regular 8-hour day, 5 days a week and make that much money. If that were true...there would be much more competition. The only perk is being at home. Period...End of story. Stop trying to sell me your ocean front pro ...

I was wondering if anyone had successfully filed a claim with the Department of Labor regarding unpaid time waiting for jobs or being "engaged to wait." ...
One company lists compensation as: "$1.06 per dictated minute & up depending on acute experience and operative report experience.."
I've always been paid per line and am not familiar at all with this form of compensation.. Does anyone have any experience with this, and does it sounds okay? It's an IC position.
Thanks. ...
Hello. I have requested and been approved for some PTO hours for Christmas Eve. On the time log I just approved, it shows the hours but does not show a monetary figure for them. Could anyone tell me how they calculate that?
Thanks! ...

Does anyone know how an MT is compensated when they begin using M*Modal and basically editing? If paid by the line, if M*Modal creates a report consiisting of 75 lines, and you edit a few lines here and there, are you paid for the entire report (the full 75 lines) or just paid for what lines you edit? ...
Sten-Tel has add on MTJobs. Can you believe this compensation? I hope they have NO replies.
" Starting rate ranges: 5–6 cents per transcribed line; 2-3 cents per edited line." ...
No one ever said for sure if this compensation had been to offset insurance costs, MUP or whatever? I didn't get it and am curious why it was not across the board. They may have been caught with their pants down on this one. ...
I am an MT of 20 years and 2 companies in this year alone have skimmed lines from me, albeit 1 company paid up and now am waiting on the other before I quit. I want to get out of MT and see that others have made the transition. How are at home coders compensated? MTs are paid by the line and just curious as to how coders are paid.
Thank you. Hope you are enjoying your fall where ever you may be! ...
I've seen a couple of folks post on here about getting a compensation letter but I've gotten nothing other than the info they presented at the meeting yesterday. Did they e-mail this or snail mail it? ...
As you transition to Nuance, you will have training jobs going to QC. This will count against your QC percentage and affect your ability to earn any increased increment in line rate based on your quality. Please plan ahead carefully for a much lower paycheck and look for another job as hard as you can. Advise all would-be MTs to look into coding or some other profession entirely. MTs are living at poverty levels these days and we have to get the word out. With VR ca ...

Please remember this – your company is paid for its OUTPUT, not for that high percent gain!
This industry has seen an alarming increase in MTs who are not interested in transcription as a full-time career. What is happening to the career MT? How will the profession attract the quality-minded, dedicated professional if MTs can’t make any money?
It won’t – it will attract the person interested in making a bit of ex ...
Here’s an article by For the Record magazine that is worth reading. Sometimes, their articles are a lot of fluff, AHDI stressing we need them, or words just filling a page, but this one affirms what we have all known for a very long time.

Interesting what is written about the Transcend lawsuit too.
What can we do?
At the end of the article, it mentions “MTs need to work with their employers to develop a fair compensat ...
To whoever it was that said they are compensated for NJA in California, can you give me some more info on how you found out about CA compensation for NJA? Did your TSM or HR confirm? How exactly do you enter it in Teamwork? I am also a California MT with NJA almost every day. Thanks. ...
I work from home for a small hospital. I pull up the patient's account and place the reports into it. Most of my doctors are so great and give me the account number or patient information. However, I have one doctor who is bad about not giving me any information to find the account. I spend more time trying to find his patient's accounts than actually transcribing his reports. I am wondering how I can ask for compensation for this. I make .15 cents per 65 characters. Does anyone make e ...
