VR is a lawsuit going somewhere to happen! And.... (sm)
you better believe I request a copy of every report generated whenever I visit a doctor. Heaven help them if I find a mistake-ridden report transcribed by VR. I hope the people falling for the VR joke have DEEEEP pockets!
Exactly! I spend more time waiting for
work than I do actually typing! Such a joke!
That used to happen to me with SPI all the time
I quit SPI at the very beginning of 2007 (late January or early February) and I was still getting calls late at night to work all the way up until the beginning of August. I kept telling them over and over again that I quit a long time ago and now work for another company. I finally got so fed up with all of their late calls (the final straw was when they called me after midnight on a Friday night in August to do a stat job), so I called their main office the next day and told them that if they contact me one more time, I will report them for harassment. That stopped all of their communication with me right away and I haven't heard from them since. Maybe if you try that with OSI, it will make them get the point. Some of these companies are just plain incompetent.
Wow, I spend my time typing and waiting...
I pay not one bit of attention to my queue. I had not noted this AT ALL, but thanks for the heads up. Why is TT so shooting themselves in the foot? I left a shady company to come to TT just for that reason, because they had a great reputation and did not pull stuff like this. I certainly hope they realize what they are doing and nip it in the bud NOW. If they can salvage their reputation at this point, they may be able to pull out being one of the 3 to 5 left standing with all the work when this shakes out. Otherwise, they will be laughed at like MQ.
That always used to happen all the time at MQ when most of us were statutory.

IMO look elsewhere...I spent a lot of time waiting for work rather than working! nm

Things can happen give it time-they are not ones to

ExecuScribe - no matter what, they pay me on time and the work is always there.

Just a matter of time before she will be off her high horse
Medware used to be a stable company. I wonder if their advertisement will now say Used to be AAMT company of the year - or Please sign up with us- we will help you be eligible for welfare - or better yet Happy MT week, your job has been phased out.
Just a matter of time - the Indians know they are being short-changed. nm

Nope, more like a matter of time before we're all working for chump change.

I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

Lawsuit
I received the notice via the State of Texas and other than the fact that I am going to have to hire an attorney it would actually be funny as I have never said anything about them that wasn't true and they cannot prove otherwise. I will be seeing my attorney on Monday and you can bet there's going to be a lawsuit going in their direction too  The monikers of the other 5 are noted in my citation but I won't post them, at least until I speak with my attorney.
Lawsuit
Yes I got the citation from the court. The complaint is for Defamation and Libel for posting on this board!!!!!! Of which I might add, I am NOT guilty.
Lawsuit
I just want to thank everyone for their support. I think I should not discuss this farther at this time. I'm sure everyone will follow the case as it is a matter of public record and I will be sure to let you know the outcome.
They will when a lawsuit results from it and
In their wallets. Publicize the name of the hospital SOMEHOW, because I personally would NEVER go to be treated in an institution run by those kinds of physicians.
MEDQUIST LAWSUIT
I just recently heard about the Medquist lawsuit and settlement regarding inaccurate line counts. I'm not a MedQuist employee, but was wondering - what are your thoughts on AHDI receiving the million dollars instead of it not being dispersed back to the MTs?
RE: Gourdpainter and TT lawsuit,...sm
Do you think you could go to work at ANY company and continually bash them, either online or to other employees and NOT get fired or sued. There is such a thing as libel and defamation, and that has nothing to do with Freedom of Speech. I have gone through the archives and am shocked at the things people say on here about the companies they STILL WORK FOR. I cannot imagine going to work for a company and to continuously badmouth them and to be able to keep my job!!! Someone else said on here in another post I read about not having to use your real name or be accountable for what you write on here and that is only to true, which is why I use my name!!! I have nothing to hide. If what you say is true, then you should be able to show your identity! You cannot knowingly lie or defame a company ANYWHERE, especially where it could potentially poison the pool of current or potential employees. If you are SOOO unhappy with the way things are where you work QUIT!!!! I have been through the ups and downs on work flow with Transtech too, but my intelligence tells me this happens everywhere! There was no change in payroll company since I have been here, almost a year, or if there was I had NO PROBLEMS and did not even notice. I had no rush to get my paperwork in or mistakes in my paycheck and whomever implied those things about TransTech's questionable payroll practices, deserves to be sued. You cannot say those kind of things about a company, especially when to my knowledge they are UNTRUE. That is defamation of character and NOT Freedom of Speech. They are owned by a parent company and THAT company does our payroll NOT TRansTEch themselves. Everyone really needs to do their homework on this sort of thing. This is EXACTLY what people get sued over and as well they should!!! There is a difference in stating you were unhappy, or if you did not get paid on time or not at all, but to continue to work somewhere, and then get on here and CONTINUOUSLY bash them, is just plain WRONG!! There are plenty more companies out there... find another one to work for if you are that unhappy!!. Again, I am NOT management and I have had problems that I needed to work out with them, but that is exactly what I did WORKED IT OUT WITH THEM! This is a company just as if you were working in an office, and there is protocol when working in a business environment that many of you just do not get! For those of you that do, this is obviously not meant for you!!! For those this does not pertain to, I know you will not be offended by this. If you are offended by this, this is obviously meant for you. Have a great day!
Believe me, filing this lawsuit sm
has damaged their reputation FAR more than whatever was said in the post that prompted it.
Had they just left things as they were, it had already blown over. Now, they have actually seen to it that anyone who wants to work for a company with any decency will stay far, far away.
DISCLAIMER: ALL CONTENT IN THIS POST IS MY OPINION ONLY, I AM AN MT AND HAVE NOTHING YOU CAN TAKE FROM ME.
Sounds like a lawsuit to me.
Find out how the company reported this liability (PTO owed) and the related salary expense on their income taxes.
Usually, companies work on an accrual basis - meaning that an expense is recognized at the time that it is incurred (and hence, at that COST). I'm betting Acusis reported the PTO expenses at the rates that were being paid at that time...and if so, there's two issues here. One is that the expense they have been reporting will have to be adjusted downward and they will have to go back and pay more income tax on the profit that will therefore be increased.
The other is that the Department of Labor will land all over them like a ton of bricks. As someone who has been in the middle of a DOL audit, I can assure the management of Acusis that it is something they should avoid at any cost.
Get those $$ out of your eyes! No lawsuit here!
No defamation of character, TT Management! It's all public knowledge. That's right. In the good state of Texas, one can look up this case and read the whole RIDICULOUS lawsuit. Looks like something that would come out of that state! Like our brilliant ex-Prez!
Lawsuit for a public board? Who are you going to sue? nm
Grow up
The problem with something like this is that anyone can file a lawsuit. It does not mean someone is
My ex filed 15 lawsuits against me due to bitterness. All were dropped after my lawyer went to court a hundred times, but people saw them in the paper and labeled me as a child abuser, deadbeat and crazy person for a while before it was all cleared up.
Just because a lawsuit is filed, does not make it true.
No more Keystrokes lawsuit topics. (sm)
Take your arguments to email as you cannot leave out personal attacks toward others and toward the board.

So, what is the latest news on the lawsuit?
TT versus MT? Inquiring minds want to know!
I would advise anyone doubting the validity of the lawsuit
To go back into the archives, at least 6-10 weeks, and check out GPs posts regarding why the work was low at TT and its direct correlation to Dictaphone. While this may not on the surface appear slanderous, it was presented as being fact, not opinion. If her assumptions about TT and Dictaphone were incorrect, and TT can prove this, it is indeed libel. I don't know GP and I enjoy her posts. I'm just a realist/fatalist and see things in black and white most of the time. I'd say it about myself had I left myself wide open and vulnerable.
As for the the unnamed 'Jane Does,' perhaps one of those is that person who types in all caps and says TT 'steals' work from their MTs, 'frauds' the line counts, etc. IMHO, that IS libelous and quite damaging to a company's reputation. What scares off an MT more than the thought of being cheated on their lines or having the good dictators' reports 'cherry picked' by the leads, leaving them with the dung no one else wants?
I'm sure I'll be flamed for my opinions, and frankly I don't care. Libel is what it is; presenting something as fact when it is not fact, and if the person/entity can prove otherwise, they most assuredly have a very good lawsuit.
I am very sorry GP is going through this and I wish her well; however, I cannot condemn TT for taking legal action if she was posting erroneous information as first-hand knowledge of fact.
Freedom of speech is one thing; passing on inaccurate information as fact is an entirely different ballgame.
Or maybe to protect from lawsuit-happy MTSOs, we
are supposed to phrase everything with 'in my opinion', 'crazy rumor has it', 'i wonder if', 'possibly', etc.... Guess we just have to phrase everything with code words to protect ourselves to even be able to share info.
'Crazy rumor has it X company didn't pay me for the last month, possibly, in my opinion...' LOL.
We need to CALL THE FACILITIES and let them know what is going on! OR Class Action Lawsuit
...we need to all go out on strike! If we ALL stopped working tomorrow, called the facilities and let them know why, where would WebmedX be?
You are doing better than I am. Still waiting...
...on the paycheck. Maybe those 100% gals get the debit cards, and those idjits, like me, who mess up a comma, don't get a debit cardiac?
(Kidding, kidding, antcipating my debit card with high excitement.)
Still waiting on MQ
not getting my hopes up, of course. Happy MT Week!
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for mine
Anyone else still waiting for W-2 from DSG?
They said they were sending it out this week. Sure seems SLOW this year.
What are you waiting for? Get out now! nm

I'm still waiting.............SM
for someone to reveal how they know that the account has been lost. There appears to be at least one individual who enjoys starting rumors of QT's demise on this board, and we have survived these rumors before. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. I'm not leaving my job based on what appears to most of us to be pure rumor, at least to the majority of employees. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. Thanks.
You will be waiting until the 15. They
do not process your check the day you send in your time sheet.
waiting...
It would be considerate of them to at least let us know what is going on. They have not said one word about going to VR with any of the accounts. I have been with them for years and it's very unprofessional of them to ignore us and expect us to just sit back and wait until they have work for us to do. Yes it is a slow time of year, but FN has been slow across the boards for the last 8-10 months now, even with picking up new accounts. How does that make sense?
waiting
Why wait that long...would email or call, things get lost and forgotten especially this time of year, at least you would know instead of waiting and wondering...
Waiting here too
impatiently, I might add (LOL) . . . just my personality. I wonder how long it will take to hear back. I know she is busy, but hopefully we'll know soon since she is looking to hire quickly.
I had some trouble with #1 also.
I'm not waiting around for them to get their act together sm
My bills won't wait until they get another account or whatever it is they are planning on doing. My bills aren't tolerating this cut in salary, either. I have to think of me and my family. I have juggled everything as much as I can juggle it and now I am making the decision to get out. I can't stand doing 12 hour days for a bare minimum paycheck.
Also waiting
Yes, I also thought it has been strangely quiet. The first week after the announcement, there were e-mails asking for our input and questions, and now nothing. I hope the early signs of willingness to work with us and keep things that are working don't just die on the vine.
waiting for work
For anybody that has worked with transform..............Have you have experienced this. I have been waiting for work to be asigned to me for four hours. Yes, they asign work to you......................I have been with this company for two weeks. I made a mistake, I put the wrong date of service on a report...............................So I am wondering if this is the reason why my e-mail has not been answered, nor my phone calls, nor AOL messenger. I have not made mistakes with medical words, at least that I know (although I have not gottent a lot of feedback). I have been transcribing in this particular speciality for 7 years, so I don't think I made huge mistakes.
Have anybody experienced this?
I'm waiting for them to take the spaces
xx
Waiting for mine too. sm
Not to scare you, but it took 6 weeks to get my first one. I was shorted on both checks too. Were we supposed to get paid the 15th? They are always late so I do not know.
I have been waiting all night for - sm
someone to say that. I feel better already!
WAITING FOR WORK!!!
In your response to FutureNet. I am currently working for them. It is a good company, easy platform, great people, but I am waiting for work as I type. I think they have over-hired, we are now caught up and out of work. Doesn't pay the bills!
Soon to be in the poor house
Waiting for work
Do you have other accounts with FN? I have four and if work is REALLY low I wait and do work for the other service I am employed with. We have several new accounts coming on and some of them are still in the testing stage. But it is also that time of the year.
Waiting for work
I also have 4 different accounts that I can work on, so running out of work doesn't happen very often for me.
I think it's a yes to all. I use ShortHand. Waiting to be set up for the
s
Thanks! I'm waiting for W2s from Precyse and MQ, as well. nm

Waiting to see what rates are!
Wow, $400 a month is higher than I'm paying now and I thought it was high! I currently pay $340 a month for family but the coverage is very good. I did hear that they have a new rate plan coming in. I will wait to see what I hear from this change. I have to have good insurance. My husband does have some health issues.
One last question....can someone tell me how soon insurance starts when you hire on with Keystrokes? Do you have to wait 3 or 6 months or does it go in effect on Day 1? My current job insurance went into effect Day 1. But they are outsourcing some to India starting this month and I'm afraid we may all be out of jobs soon. Doesn't look good. I may check into the plan to just purchase myself and not have to worry about changing jobs, etc.
Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.
Connie
Waiting for Future-Net
About a week ago I received an email from Future-Net stating I had passed all the testing and a recruiter would be contacting me....I am still waiting a week later. Is this normal for them?
TIA
