Down further on the board, there is a topic about pay - mn
Posted: May 21, 2015
and someone replying saying that Nuance does not have to pay minimum wage. That is not entirely correct and I want to make sure that the correct info is given. Here is what I found about having to pay min wage:
"Under federal law, employers must pay a minimum hourly wage. The current federal minimum wage is set at $7.25 per hour. The main federal law that sets the minimum wage is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Although the minimum wage is an hourly wage, the law does not require employees to be paid by the hour. Business owners may choose to pay a salary, commission, wages plus tips, or at a piece rate, as long as the total amount paid divided by the total number of hours worked is equal to at least the minimum wage."
The point here is yes they DO have to pay min wage; however the states with the higher than federal minimum wage, I'm not sure what they are required to pay. I just wanted to make sure there was correct information out there as some of this is getting kind of muddled and misconstrued, etc.
For states with a higher minimum wage than federal - wtfe
[ In Reply To ..]They have to pay the higher state wage.
Nice that you put this on here. Nuance tries to make people believe they have no options when it is not true.
WHO would even DO this job for minimum wage? - There is no way
[ In Reply To ..]I would, and in my state the minimum wage is 9/hr. 7.25 is unacceptable! Sickening! This job is too stressful and requires SKILLS and knowledge. Not to mention the MTSO is paying you a FRACTION of what they charge clients. If you are only making minimum wage I don't know what to tell you - except get ANY other job. Please don't take this the wrong way - it's not the MTs fault - it's the MTSO's. I myself am looking for another career even though I make more than minimum wage (around 13-14/hr) but even THAT is in the best of situations and it is still unacceptable to me.

I'm Not Sure If This Is The Right Board, But It Is
Jan 14, 2013
It is so very frustrating! I type for a wound care clinic, and, of course, a great deal of the patients there are diabetic, as am I. About a year ago I learned from my diabetic teacher that a local supermarket chain pharmacy offers all diabetic supplies and meds for free, whether you are insured or not. At least once every couple of weeks I type a note in which the doctor says the patient hasn't been able to afford his/her diabetes medication or insulin, and they seem to ...

What's Up With This Ad On Another Board For OB
Jan 29, 2015
You see it periodically, OB, radiology, and something else but it's pretty clear the work will be OB. The test consists of 3 files (getting this from the ad) and you should finish it in less than 2 hours. 3 files? How long are the files? So, my real question is (the other two were thiinking out loud), does this ad get run periodically to clear out the backlog or is it really a legit job and why does it come up so often? It's not the exact same ad everytime ...

New MTs Board -- ALL READ
Oct 25, 2009
This particular board, the New MTs board, is devoted to assisting the newcomers to this profession. It is here as a help, an assistance, a way to advise and mentor newbies. It is NOT a place to slam, discourage, handslap or pick fights between newbies and experienced MTs. We are not going to have an ongoing war or scuffles between the experienced MTs and the newbies or vice versa in regard to who should or should not be in this industry, who does a better job, who knows more, ...

I have been reading all of the posts especially the ones about grammar. Maybe I have not finished transcription school or even paid my dues as a seasoned "elder" (I hate that phrase--not being in my 20s myself), but I was one of the 70,000 that was laid off on black Monday back in January 2009. I was looking for a career that would (I thought) not be hurt by the economy as severely. I very much appreciate any advice my "more experienced" friends can give. Even with m ...

Complaint Board
Jul 02, 2010
Just a suggestion but if there are so many people with complaints about companies or their MT careers, etc., instead of getting "bashed," deleted, or otherwise, why not make a forum just for complaints and opinions and leave the other boards to more respectful and intelligent conversations. Let's see if what I just posted doesn't prove my point. ...

I think everyone should go to the link below from the SEC (written 8/19/2009) to read the general disagreements from a board member of MQ. This board member resigned because of quesitonable ethics, overall (mis)management and questionable financial dealings with CBay. After reading, rethink a career and future with MQ. http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/884497/000095012309036850/w75438exv99w1.htm ...
Swap Board
Apr 03, 2010
I tried the swap yesterday. I put in to give up my shift on Friday, 4-9 as doing the Relay for Life walk that evening. It appeared to take as I had RECLAIM next to my shift instead of SWAP but when I went in today, it said SWAP again. It looked the same as it did before I put in to swap. When I looked on the SWAP board there were no shifts up for grabs and yesterday there were 2 on there??? I redid this again but cannot figure out why I had to redo it. I think it would be great if some ...
