lousy paycheck - worried
Posted: Apr 24, 2010
this is the second time my check was waaaay low than what I usually receive. I don't know what is going on. I know with each payperiod I decided to spend a considerable amount of time looking up old reports because they cut too much into my production. I thought last payperiod I maybe did it 3 times. I have decided to only use it once or none at all.when I double check to make sure none are going to QA it looks correct as it says zero submission rate. How could this be happening though with my pay? last week my ccm told me I had 7 reports sent into qa when I had never checked a box and she just told me it could be a new account that is 100% qa for the first couple of days. I am wondering if I check mark the qa/qc note box to leave a note for the client could this somehow be screwing me up?? I know I spent a little time with the benchmark website which I refuse to go to because I think all these things are playing a factor into my pay. actually my pay was starting to go on the decline before all this happened,but the last two are the worst yet. I was also taking my time to do well as i was being audited. This is all just a negative factor for me. I hope it gets better.
QA/QC notes... - OH MT
[ In Reply To ..]You said..."I am wondering if I check mark the qa/qc note box to leave a note for the client could this somehow be screwing me up??"
If you want to leave a note, just use Ctrl+Shift+Q - you don't have to check mark any box to leave a note for the client. Checking the box is what is sending your work to QA.
As far as the paychecks, mine seem to fluctuate - it's like a roller coaster, and I can't ever predict how much I will make. Add in the fact that I'm an MME, and I get paid 3 different line rates....it's too hard to try to figure out my pay stub!
Hope this helps....
ctl shift q - worried
[ In Reply To ..]I thought by selecting the qa/qc box this does the same as pressing CTL Shift Q? I am always checking to see if anything that is being routed to QA. in the stastics box it shows zero whenever I check. Like i said earlier my ccm said i had 7 reports that went to QA for the pay period ending 04/15 and my stastics said i had 0 reports in qa and she did not even seem to know how those 7 reports went to qa and then said she did not know how many lines that was,she just knew it was 7 reports and then when i kept asking questions she said it could have been because it was a new account and there are also some accounts that have specific work types on QA. My next step is the payroll dept since I can't seem to figure out what is going on.
QA Box - OH MT
[ In Reply To ..]Not sure about your stats page and why it's not showing the reports, but per MQ Central - checking that QA box sends your reports to QA, therefore counting those lines toward your QA Submission number.

qa box - worried
[ In Reply To ..]I know you are trying to help me but by selecting the Qa/qc box i thought that went directly to the client with the note and I thought using ctrl shift q does the same thing meaning the QA/qc box was checkmarked for you when selecting ctrl shift q? i knew this would get me into trouble. i don't even feel comfortable using ctrl shift q. i feel like somehow they are using things against me for their benefit.
Misunderstanding.... - OH MT
[ In Reply To ..]I think we may be talking about 2 different boxes here...
I'm talking about the box that you physically place a check mark in before uploading - it just says QA. This is the box that will send your work to QA.
I think you're talking about a button that you just click on to leave a QA/QC note. That will not send your work to QA - it will just leave a note for the client.
Personally, I prefer Ctrl+Shift+Q - then you can add the note anytime during the report instead of waiting to the end. There's nothing to be leery of here - it just brings up the note box without leaving a QA Marker.
As long as you just leave a note and don't place a check mark in the box marked QA, then you should be OK.
Sorry for any confusion! :-)
per an email about FTR: Instructions: Upon upload of your final report, you will see the following window displayed in DocQscribe (see image below). This window contains the question, "Are you sure you want to upload this job?" If you place a check-mark in the QA Function box, it will route to QA for review. If you do not, it will route directly to the customer. If you choose to route to QA, you can also leave a helpful and descriptive message for QA by clicking on the QA/QC Note button. Finally, click the Yes button to finish your report upload.
qa box - worried
[ In Reply To ..]I also read that last week on mqcentral.
Do you leave any QA markers at all in your reports if needed or are you selecting "CTRL-Shift-Q and leaving notes where a blank would be? Sorry about all of this,but,honestly I hate even leaving that QA marker even if they are telling us it does not go to QA unless we select it to. I feel so paranoid about all of this. I am not looking up old reports or using benchmark either as it takes up too much time,and I think this is what is happening here. It must be awful for you to try to keep up with 3 different pays to try to determine how much you will get. it would be nice to have one set amount to bank on all the time. maybe someday,but I know it will not happen here. Thank you for your help. It was much appreciated!
Seriously - MT Bottle
[ In Reply To ..]Regarding your last sentence...Why in the world would you think it's going to get better? Don't know how long you've been with the Q but in the last 4 years, can you honestly say anything has gotten "better" for the MT's. Just sayin'.....

My Lousy Paycheck
Jul 31, 2010
Just wanted to say that I just looked at my bank account as I got pad yesterday. What a nightmare. I will have a horrible weekend now because of that. Last year I made $13,000 for the year with MT, down from $26,000 the year before, and down from $40,000 back in the good old days. My income for this year will probably go before $13,000 for my taxes. My check was $682 for 2 weeks and that was with having work most of the time. And they have not taken out for me ...

Lousy Dictating Doctor
Sep 01, 2012
Why do we get berated when the doctor is known to be a mumbler and you know he knows what he is doing? This guy CONSTANTLY has blanks in his reports, no accent, no excuse. He's just lazy and doesn't care. I wish there was a way of issuing fines for these doctors when they get these many blanks in their reports. You'd think it would be some sort of legal issue since the reports are basically incomplete. Just a thought. ...

If I was concerned then, what am I now? Someone mentioned below the cost was $160 per month. What the heck? Are Transcend e ...
Lousy Dictators - Coughing, Hacking, Sneezing, And Sniffling

I am currently doing a dictation by a doctor who normally is not that bad, but today he is coughing, hacking, sneezing, and sniffling to the point that he is nearly impossible to understand. Doc, if you're that sick, you need to stay home and not make your patients any sicker. Doesn't do me any good either having to try to make out what you're saying. 'Nuff said. ...

Paycheck!

Hi All, Well, my hospital was outsourced to Nuance a couple of months back. Of course, I noticed right off what the pay was offered and knew it was going to be low, but since we weren't paid by the line, I had no idea how much lower it was going to turn out to be. In the last couple of months, I have been getting used to their time keeping program and other changes that they have implemented since they took over. I feel like for the last pay period or two I am finally up to what I would ...

I just wanted to tell any of you who are staying cautiously optimistic despite the negativity on this board, I am very, very pleased with my first paycheck in this new pay plan. I am also not seeing the nitpicking in QA that has been described. The mistakes I am dinged for are just that, my mistakes. I take notice, then move on. If you are able to produce a decent line count and maintain good quality which is our job in the first place, things will be okay. There are advantages and disadvan ...
Even Though I Did Well With My Paycheck, I'm Still

The stress of it all and the fact that QA holds the pursestrings are not worth the few extra dollars. To think I can go from 12 CPL to 7 CPL for just dropping from 100% to 99% in any given week is just too much stress to have hanging over my head. Good luck, Nuance, keeping quality MTs. I hope you are happy with yourselves for having driven this field into the hell it has become. And Merry Christmas to you, too. ...

This whole fiasco is a windfall for the other MTSOs who are cleaning up now getting all kinds of great employees as refugees from Nuance. And as soon as the hospitals start seeing all the crap they get coming out of India, those other MTSOs will be getting those accounts, too.&nb ...
