Which reports in FIESA (which I despise) count toward qualifying for the bonus, QC, QA, post-audit? TIA
FIESA and bonus - numbers
[ In Reply To ..]
Only "Post Audit" (which are done by QA) in FIESA counts toward bonus. However, QC does count in that no more than 10% of your total lines can be pended to them. I don't think you can see or calculate this part in FIESA, though.
Got 2 more questions. 1) Are all the post-audit reports - wannie

done by offshore QA? All of my post-audit have been done by offshore.
2) Is there any way to go back and listen to the job after it has been audited?

1. I do not believe all of my QA is done offshore. However, it has been a while since I paid attention (quick look and move on), so could be very wrong.
2. How to listen to an audited report probably depends on your platform. I have to go into Enterprise to do that. Which one are you using?
"A corporate-wide transcription style guide has been adopted for use across all platforms. This style guide clarifies ambiguous information in BOS2...."
I thought everyone was using BOS3 now? Isn't that what AHDI is pushing?
It would seem that that every other MTSO is now REQUIRING you to have one to even APPLY for a job with them?

Line rates: Why are experienced MTs being paid the same rates as newbies?
These MTSOs state that an experienced MT should end up with more money because he/she is able to produce more lines than a newbie. I contest this by stating that experienced MTs are also producing HIGHER QUALITY lines and can do so with less help and less supervision (and, of course, much faster), and even if both the newbie and the experienced MT produced the same number of lines, since the experienced MT's lines ...

Certainly nothing new to be confused over QA, but this one is really confusing me. Perhaps I missed the memo. I had mL changed to cc by QA. Yes, dictator stated cc, but I surely do remember being told to use mL instead so why was it changed to cc....not sure. The other change was 12 mm changed to 12-mm. Confused by this one as well.....that's my typing vent for the day! Thanks for listening : ) ...
I am not sure if I should ask on this board or not. I have read the chatter back and forth and .... oh my! I am still in school at Allied (not sure if it is considered a good school or not), but I am very confused about formating. I am sure in the real world the company that employs you will give you what format to use. However, in school I am suppose to know. Enough rambling! What I am confused about is the subheadings. As I transcribe the various pract ...

I read on this forum that Keystrokes pays well.....I was offered a position with them doing Radiology and they only wanted to pay me $1.00 per report. That is crappy!!!!

I was hired as a PART TIME IC so could someone please explain to me how being required to work 8-5 mon-fri is part time IC?!!! I mean, I thought IC was working when you want to not set schedule and 8-5 does not seem part time to me!! Some MTSOs are incredible!!! Just wanted to vent! ...
OK I get NJA, change Schedule Source to work availability, then I get a job 10 minutes into it, now what? I know I don't get paid for 10 minutes of NJA/work availability. Clock out and back in under production? Will I get in trouble for the 10 minutes of work availability? Then if I get NJA again, clock back out of production and back into work availability and SEE if it goes the full 15 minutes??????????? I need a tutorial on this I guess. Any suggestion ...
the posters were as well. You have to punch out of production to change to "work availability" and I was under the impression you can't type while in "work availability" so you have to clock out and back in under "production" if you get a job during that 15 minute wait period. I am in agreement that it is ridiculous, but if I think the whole day is going to be slow I just want to wait the required 15 minutes and be RELEASED for the rest of my shift, however, it is so confu ...
I just took an online test and I found it rather easy and they said I didn't pass and then suggested more training. WTH??!! I have over 20 years experience and maintain a 99% QA. There is no way I didn't pass that. I could see if I thought it was hard but I even double checked my answers even if I knew they were right. Anyone else ever have this happen? ...
Would you take an insurance transcription job at WorldWide Transcription that pays .06 per line, has lots of work, and offers a M-F schedule. The only con I can find is that they mail paper checks, instead of direct deposit. Or would you take a transcription job with Integrity HD. I am not sure the line pay yet, but was contacted by a recruiter today? Thanks and please do not be nasty. :) ...

I am just venting!!! Somewhere along the line I guess I misunderstood the whole concept behind VR. I have a real hard time understanding why a bunch of words, many that don't make any sense or even sound like what is dictated, in no type of formatting constitutes a report; VR dictation that needs to be restructured and pretty much retyped but yet I get paid less and required to do it faster than a real "typed" report. My research on VR is #1 the dictator has to b ...
Does BayScribe only count the total time you're actually 'in' reports as the time that's weighed against your server time? In other words, when you're logged into Bayscribe's main menu and not actually transcribing a report, those minutes aren't being added in, are they?
I hope I'm not confusing you guys! Thanks in advance for clearing this up for dense me!

Okay so here we go. In the past my boss has said that the incentive does not mean that OT is approved. Three weeks ago she said that since it was an incentive then we all could work extra. Then two weeks ago said that OT is not automatically approved during an incentive. Now she states, "I know all of you are worried about there not being work in our group because of the incentive, but it is there. Since there is an incentive go ahead and take advantage of it as much as y ...

For NJA, will someone please explain to me where I post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule excused, as well as where to post to get the 15 minutes downtime and the rest of my schedule PTO. I believe they are 2 different sites.

OK....just to be sure I understand this.....if I am an IC, do I deduct approximately 15% (like what my previous employer deducted for SS and Medicare) OR do I deduct 30% for my part and employer part? I've been on the IRS website but that's confusing. Don't have the money to consult a CPA right now. Don't want to take a job as an IC if this is a mistake. Have an interview for IC and 2nd interview for employee status. Sorry to keep repeating mys ...
