Anyone fired for scores of less than 99% - ?
Posted: Apr 02, 2015
Received an email stating I have to weeks to get my scores up. Not sure if this means I'll be fired.
Usually, firing is after a PAP--sm - anon

I do not recall exactly what it stands for but it is basically a performance evaluation. The steps are first a verbal warning which generally happens over the phone followed by an email message. Then if things do not improve, there is the PAP where you have a conference once a week and if at the end of 4 weeks there is not sufficient improvement, termination. They could of course skip all of this but this is the general protocol.

Nuance hires per "AT WILL" meaning you can quit at any time without giving a reason and they can terminate the same way. It's a really squirrely and low way to end employment but about what you can expect.
No but fired for line count drop below 100 - cindy

My score was up, but I was on PAP for 4 weeks, passed that and got my line count up, but things interfered with me keeping it up so got fired a couple of weeks after the PAP.
She could fire you or mean you will have to start the PAP then. My scores were always high, but quality does not trump their perfect little line count, no matter how hard the foreigner is.
Good luck! Maybe you should just ask her what happens then or what happens if your scores don't go up?
I am a medical transcriptionist with over 15 years of experience, and I was fired today for low audit scores. I don't know why I am happy about this. I guess I am just relieved to get away from a company that picks apart their employees. What are they going to do when there is no one left? Ironically, I have worked in many big hospitals and while our reports were reviewed, this would have never happened working in a hospital. Does anyone know what is happening ...
are T-scors for bone density with a "minus" number written T-score of -0.9 or minus 0.9. I have never had these before and just want to make sure. I would assume it is -0.9, but really want to make sure. Thanks so much. ...
how very funny ... have 5 jobs audited. the only ones with 100% are QC1 scores that DO NOT count toward the pay grid. a constant struggle for them to find a way to rip us off from the "great pay program". ...
When transcribing Apgar scores, which format is correct?
Apgar score of 8 and 9 at one and five minutes, respectively or Apgar score of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively.
I looked in the AAMT book and it says the write out the numbers for the minutes, but in the example they do not write out the numbers?

Just a head's up, new QA scores are being performed (to many of my friends also), with no warning, check your files and you will see a new one just performed. I have not had a score under 99.5% for 2 years, and had several 100%, but lo and behold, my new score (which will mean NO BONUS for the next QUARTER if I understand correctly) is 98.8%. Yea, right. It was done on all my secondary accounts, on the most difficult dictators, and I am looking for a new job. ...
Just got the email about lines being uploaded. States the QA scores are pulled from 2/27 to 3/6. I thought that was what it was last pay period as well. When will I get credit for the QA score I received on 3/10? Does anyone one how this bait and switch BS works? ...
Does anybody know what their minimum QA scores are? They have postings for QA and MT but no mention it. I do good work but don't want to be nitpicked to death for a 99.9% score. Thx. ...
Hello All,
I just received the results of my pre-employment testing. I have not had to "score" on a test in quite some time. One company asked me if I had been contacted because I scored 50% on the transcription side. What does that mean? The other company stated that I did not pass their test. It was graded by a regional recruiting manager and they are saying that I made several critical errors? Like what? Does anyone have any insight to the scoring of ...
I was wondering why Nuance requires a 99% score from their transcriptionists, but the companies that do their overflow advertise that they require 98%? How can they justify that? If you work for an overflow company, will they fire you if your score is above 98% but less than 99%? Just wondering what I would be getting into at one of these places. Thanks for anything you can share. ...
like most of us, a buyout. Loved the company I worked for. Then Nuance took over-changes being made-my scores started going down. Worked hard to get them back up-now I am getting marked for major errors that I KNOW I did not make-I feel 100% confident after all these years I would not be making these kinds of mistakes. Yet, in the last couple of months I have had more errors and some major errors that even a rookie MT would not be making, let a lone an experienced one. No, I am not perfect and n ...
I thought they were calculated weekly but my FIESA score for the period of 9/21-9/28 should have given me a bonus if that is true and it was the same as it was the week before, which was under 99. ...
Just curious about what type of Fiesa scores people are getting? Anyone received any type of formal warning for their scores? Just trying to figure out how important Fiesa really is to the whole sceme of things. ...
Hi! I was hoping for a little input. I have been with Mmodal/Medquist/Spheris since 2005. They have the new quality standards which seem to be out of reach for me. They want us to be at an unreasonable 99.7. Even today, received last week's audit scores and one was 100% the other at 98.75. I am on my 3rd corrective action for this and know I am at close to the end of my rope. I actually would like to go back to school. Has anyone been unintentionall ...
Last week, I had a great QA score. I only had a couple of reports sent to QC - none of which were problematic.
However, today, I had a horrible ESL report with multiple blanks. I had to send it to QC. They not only filled in the blanks, but graded me on it -- a whopping 96.2. UGH! Is that going to be counted among my post audit score for my pay rate?? ...
The only thing that matters is the number of these you turn in in the first place. Take what useful correction from those, if there is any at all, and let the rest of it roll off. Do not stress out over these or attempt to reverse a QC score. As a matter of policy, they will never reverse anything on these, because the percentage score on them is meaningless.
Only thing that matters is the number of them you turn in to begin with. Cutting down the number you submit is the only way to escape the ...
I want to print out just in case I need proof. Anyone have a website or anywhere on the internet where it states that what their audit scores are for employment? ...
Well, I was officially fired yesterday. Up until last summer, I was one of their top producers, never having an accuracy problem. The reason I got fired? I got sick.
Early last summer, I let a UTI go for 10 days (lived off Rx strength OTC Pyridium) until I was severely septic and urinating almost pure blood and clots. I also had a kidney infection, kidney stones and bladder stones. Thought it was over. IIRC, the urinary organism was proteus mirabilis. I ...
Isn't it odd that being fired from MQ isn't a disgrace? Being fired from any other place would be total humiliation, but I don't think anybody here would ever look down on another MT who was let go. MQ doesn't discriminate. They justly fire bad MTs, but they also fire good MTs who are stuck with crummy accounts, accounts that constantly have NJA, and probably a ton of reasons that are beyond our control. ...
I was hired by company initials "P" under the conditions that my computer meet their specifications. I was told my computer met their specification and then offered employment. I accepted. Their technicians worked on my computer for 2 weeks straight and installed faulty software, and then I was told my system would not meet their specifications and I needed to have my computer XP deleted and reinstalled or buy a new computer. I had my computer checked out and was told my c ...
I was fired. I started with Medquist in 1998. They fired me in 1997. I was hired and Spheris and became a Medquist employee after they bought Spheris. I was fired again today. I just hope Medquist eventually stabilizes and the employees are happy again. I hope I find something suitable for me. I wish the best for all. It's been one hell of a bumpy and uneven ride. Bon voyage to me!!! ...
