are you and employee or an IC? we are talking about being an IC? sm
if you are not an IC then this conversation does not pertain to you, glad that you are happy where you are :)
Packet
I just finished reading my packet information. Seems they will only have employees once the new year arrives. I just switched from employee to statutory! LOL! New info reveals I'm being given a raise, employee status (if I choose it) and benefits.
It only took them 30 years, but they've finally become MT-centered????
I don't have the packet but I think I can
I can't imagine you can't do more than 150 lines per hour, that is like them telling me to 'SLOW DOWN" because I average 300 lines per hour. I think they are just putting that 100 and 150 lph out there as a guideline to not go below!
What SPI packet?
Arbitration about what? I'm current employee. Is this just for former employees. When did you get this? Not in my mail today. Thanks.
Has anyone gotten the new pay plan packet yet?
I haven't gotten any information at all regarding a new pay plan. Was the first of this sent out to ME's only. It seems that only MQ ME's have mentioned anything about their pay.
I have a hard time believing that MQ HR would call EACH and EVERY MT. Do you know how many phone calls and how much time that would take to accomplish. They probably hired temporary employees again to do this calling, as they did when the new benefits package was rolling out to work on the benefits hotline!
If ANY of you receive any letter/packet/phone call about a new pay plan, PLEASE post for us. TIA
The dreaded packet
The imail actually said to call them at the number given if you didn't RECEIVE the packet by 10/7.
So, you got your packet today?
I didn't get mine yet! Does it say the requirements for part-time versus full-time?
Did you read in the MQ packet where it said...
Based on 39 hour 7 day work week? Or 24 hour 7 day work week? But doesn't explain what that means in detail. Also the part about OT being only after 40 hour scheduled work week? And how about if the HOLIDAY falls on your SCHEDULED WORK DAY you will now be REQUIRED TO WORK IT, but we'll give you 1.5 times holiday pay. and you have to have 150 per hour over 8 hours on a regular work day for employee status, or 100 for the new status. My God, a little more money but much more restriction,big brothering, too much you have to do this and you have to do that. I want it back to the way it was. I don't want holiday pay and I'll be damned if I am gonna work 8 hours on Christmas for it. Some things you can't pay enough for. This is exactly why I left my old company 5 years ago to go home to Medquist. I will be looking around now ASAP.
packet info
They are eliminating the SE category. A wise move if you ask me.
Part time is anything less than 39 hours.
Full time was an expected 150 lines per hour.
Has anyone been informed of a pay cut in their MQ packet? nm
nm
it says and i quote from the packet
in front of me" if you experience unscheduled downtime you will be paid at the hourly downtime rate". for more info go toQnet. Why would I make it up?? But what does "unscheduled" mean??? I know now that my CSC archives on a certain day and I can't transmit for an hour. Maybe they will have scheduled downtime that we have to work around?? Don't know and too tired to look at Qnet todayso don't ask me.
MQ packet confusion
I also live in NE and I have not received my PACKET let alone the pre-packet phone call. What is going on here?
packet arrival
Quote: I was told by Q-News the packets are coming out Oct. 7th.
No, you were told by Q-News that if you did NOT receive a packet by 10/7 to contact them. One would deduce that means you will receive them in the first week of October. I live on the east coast, not far from the corporate headquarters and got mine on Saturday. I'm guessing the mailing likely went out in mass, so it will depend on the USPS as to when yours arrives.
you will get a schedule with your packet.

Former Cymeders, did you get your SPi packet?
What are your thoughts? That whole arbitration agreement has me a little concerned. I am taking the whole packet to my attorney before I do anything.
I got ANOTHER packet today!
This is getting ridiculous! The thing took up my whole mailbox! I haven't worked for them in 7 months! I was so annoyed that I e-mailed HR once again and demanded that they remove me from their list of employees and stop all contact with me immediately.
This packet we just received is merely
supplemental ins. That is what AFLAC is; it is not a primary insurance coverage. They do have other insurance, from what I hear, and if full coverage is needed, you do need to talk to Vicki in the office!!! I hear it is kinda pricy, though...
no mail packet here
I thought so, too, but only got email attachments. Had major problems opening some of them. Finally able to print and mail via snail mail. I didn't bother to send express/overnight so hope 5 days were enough to get them there on time. I'm PT and get no benefits but had to sign to decline insurance, etc, anyway. I'm just glad to get it done.
MQ Phone call/Packet
Got the call and yes the packet is suppose to be in the mail in OCT--never gave it a thought that each packet might be different--as stated before none of my questions were answered. Read that the Houston office is closing, are they merging with Dallas??? Is there anyone out there still working for the Foxboro office and will they be one of the offices that will be closing in the future???
Attention MQ packet receivers
Is there ANY mention at all about what is happening with SEs? If so, please elaborate. Also, could you give us the new guidelines for part-time versus full-time employee status (# of hours that need to be worked and/or line quotas per pay)?
that horse fromthe packet and
the Qnet rules. tellher to go lookit up.
MQ PACKET INCENTIVE PLAN
could you give me a breakdown of the incentives? If I type 2400 lines a day, what will my incentive be cpl?
Packet?? Sounds ominous to me.
I got mine in my new hire packet
Love it, very cute and comfy.
Any info in MQ packet about shift differentials?
NT
What is the general opinion about the packet? Good or Bad
Did receive mine yet?
I know that when I answered the questionnaire that came out some time before the packet...
Apparently they didn't really consider that as one of our biggest priorities, though?
I haven't got my packet yet, but I've found out enough here already about how this new plan is going to impact my needs. So anybody know companies that still really believe in SE status/FLEXIBILITY?
I haven't gotten my packet yet, but my days with them may be numbered....SM
I'm an SE because of the flexibility, like a lot of other people. If I'm required to work a set schedule/lines with someone breathing down my neck, I'm outta there.
I've been on the same account for 3 years and have it down pat...all the silly rules, most of the MANY docs' names, etc. etc. and have had excellent QAs (but no raise, of course). You'd think MQ would value that kind of experience and knowledge...but you'd be wrong!!
GRRRRRRRRR.
No packet or phone call..maybe I'm TOAST!
NM
I dont' care to read the packet anymore.t
I was all a twitter when the letter first came, email, whatever,nervous that I was gonna lose my bennies, worked myself into a lather...now I don't give a ****. Let the chips fall, I'll survive it. I even forgot it was October, thanks for reminding me. 6 days until D day. Whatever..
Are they doing away with SE status altogether now. I didnt get my packet yet. What do they plan
to do with the SE people.
This whole page is about that stupid MQ packet, 3 other topics max. unreal
Statuatory employee versus regular employee....
Can someone tell me the difference between a statuatory employee versus a regular employee? My company offeres IC or SE status....I am confused about whether switching over the SE would benefit me more than IC status that I have been for some time with them? What are the benefits and disadvantages of being an SE versus IC? Thanks for all of your help!
Not talking about lines. Talking about what you actually
afsd
They hire both IC and employee. I am an employee (see message)
and I have full benefits. I am very happy that I came to work here. I came as a statutory employee from a large company. Everyone at MDI has been great to me.
Depends on if you are employee or statutory employee (sm)
Employee, 8th and 23rd of month
Stat. Employee, 15th and 30th month
Diskriter - Anyone go from their employee to hospital employee with them?
Thinking about giving up on being their employee and applying for a hospital employee position through them, they have one in PA right now that looks good. How is it for scheduling? Do you keep your line rate or get whatever the hospital pays? Who manages those accounts, is it the same PM and DR that are on the other ones? I have DR and feel like she doesn't have a clue what she is doing and it is so annoying, but I just don't have the guts to let the company know she needs to step it up a notch because the transcriptionists are not happy under her. Are QA the same people or through the hospital. They have 1 QA that is constantly asking us questions on doctors and format, things we should be asking that QA person. Annoying that new people move up to QA but people who've been there 2 or 3 years get treated like dirt and jumped account to account.
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
Only employee and statutory employee..no IC

You MUST be talking about OSI
nm
see... this is what I'm talking about
This is good stuff. Thank you. Now about platforms. What seem to be the main complaints? What makes a platform 'good'? The one I work on has a screen where most of the demographcis are filled in, but you have to do a couple. Then you go into the report. I don't really mind it, but have nothing to compare it to.
I don't know who YOU are talking about
I don't really know who you are talking about nor do I care about what happened in Spring 2004. That was 18 months ago. But if that lady did have a company, I am sure she knew something about running a company. I was speaking about current stuff, and the ladies I worked for were absolutely THE most wonderful people ever. One even went to bat for me when the company shorted me some money. She stood up to the big dogs, and she won too!!!! What a wonderful, wonderful human being!!! She was a great TEAM leader, TEAM player, and made our team awesome!!! She made you want to work for her AND our team!! Never in all my years of working ANYWHERE (and I'm 45 years old...so lots of bosses!!!) have I ever found anyone that compares with her! I had (and have) many that need to take lessons from her, but none that compare or even come close! :)
What are you talking about?
x
Are you talking about the one in NJ or in FL? nm
nm
Are you talking about the one that used the
nm
Okay, we are obviously talking about
The Sten-Tel I am referring to is located at One Monarch Place in Springfield, MA. They do not use a payroll service. One of the owners does the payroll. Please state the address of the company you are referring to.
What are you talking about?
That's why it's the mess that it is. They were too afraid their fees would get frozen and they couldn't charge $600 to get a benign polyp analyzed under a scope(actual price, yes, from a bill). She mentioned the word healthcare, and the AMA, the largest world in the union (as the docs how much they pay for the medical insurance - NOTHING), squished her. We desperately NEED health care reform, but big bucks Bush (the one who says we need to give up our love for oil, even though oil is what is padding his pockets), and his buddies at the AMA (including corrupt Frist) won't allow it. So, it, along with everything else in this country, is going to continue to slide downhill. Bill was bad, yep - left good old Georgie boy a heap of money in the bank that he now has spent like a mad drunk.
What are you talking about???
In your 15 years experience, you should know that the proper word to use is 'accept', not except. I made the above post and have 8 years experience and am probably younger than you are. What part of my post indicates that I cannot 'accept' that this field is changing?
The newbies need to 'accept' the fact that this is a serious profession and that you must be dedicated and willing to work hard if you intend to remain in this field. YOU are the one who needs to GET OVER IT and crack open a dictionary while you're at it.
Now I KNOW you don't know what you are talking about (sm)
They don't have acct supervisors
Not sure if you are talking about same co. or not
Did you see an ad on MT Jobs? Spelling of name is different so I just want to be sure.
Just talking about it
I did not just talk about it. I cancelled my membership.
