Luckily, I ALWAYS print out my time sheet, so...

In Reply to: That's so illegal - turn them in to Dept of Labor. How can they sm - NutterButter
that will be my proof, I suppose. Needless to say, 40 hours is IT for me, lines or no lines. And now I need to start looking AGAIN for a better job, if such a thing even exists. Don't bother lauding TT - been there and done that and with the honesty about them of late I won't go there. But any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Any companies out there where you do not have to fill in a time sheet or on a time clock?
I would like to do my lines and be done, and still get my benefits. Any companies out there that go by line production rather than hours to qualify for bennies?
No, not a time clock. You just fill out a time sheet sm
with your days and times and lines and email it every 2 weeks.
It really seems to be a great place to work so far -- the people are great and the work has not run out. I have been paid more, but then again, I am an employee and have benefits and do not have to mess with that tax hassle anymore, so I'm happy.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
time sheet
You have to keep a time sheet. It's done online and it's pretty brainless to do. I wonder about people who have nothing better to do than complain about things 98% of the workforce deals with.
You fill in a time sheet
but why dread it? attitude is 60% of the challenge (or more). You might just like it better, i do.
No, it is a manual time sheet (sm)
Bonus is paid on total for pay period, not hourly bonus. I never put potty breaks on it, just my lunch break, cause that's longer.
All I got wa a time sheet via email from TT
I don't have anything set up like you do. That would be nice to have that.
How do MTs get paid if it is not on time sheet. Are they just working to keep
p
You fill out a time sheet. If you need to make a change sm
to your schedule, you just email them. They seem pretty flexible about everything.
Hope this helps.
Luckily
Mine is a great account, clinic, pay is good, assigned doctors. I was on a horrible account when I first came to KS and I asked to move after a month. My wish was granted.
Ditto to above. Luckily, not having to worry about

Is it really necessary that you print ALL of it out?
When the company I work for sent me the account specifics and the list of physicians for my account (in total about 300 pages), I made shortcuts on my desktop for easy access so I wouldn't have to use so much paper and ink. Worked great for me.
Can't you print out an IM 'conversation?'
If so, this could help for documentation. Or screen print into word and print with the day and time. This equals documentation, too, I believe. Someone, correct me if I'm wrong.
Look at the print out of the doc list they sent you, or
look up the doc list on the hospital web site and use search. Otherwise, go to the doc information screen where the doc number is put in (for example on the cc) and then do a search there by doc last name sounding it out. Don't forget to delete the cc and then you can go back into the document. Hope it helps. Good luck.
I think you should print this letter out and
-- and maybe a newspaper or a TV station or two. The reason these people are getting away with ducking the law is that they think no one can see them do it. (And we're all 'nobodys', so we don't count). If this post just stays on this forum, only other MTs will read it. This needs to be read by the general public, and some of our lawmakers, as well.
This was an excellent post, and needs to be read by as many people as possible.
PS: My company pulls this one on us, too. Only instead of asking for overtime, since they know they'd have to pay us, they raise the number of minimum lines per day we have to do, and tell us to work harder, work faster. But then they throw a trip line into the works by tweeking the software to the point where it's as slow as molasses, or by giving us accounts with heavy ESLs and no samples or normals to work from.
I think all these folks need to spend some time in a cell with Bernie Madhoff.
be careful of what you print - I asked the same
thing and my post was deleted. They have had the same openings for the same jobs for well over a year. Hmmmmmm.........
Yes, you can also print them from Utilipro online. nm

SPi fact sheet

In 8 years I've never had to print anything off their site. Ever. nm

Read the fine print in the agreement - sm
I am very upset about it because I was told when I signed up that MT was not a problem, but if you read through the agreement, it clearly states that if they determine you are using the service for anything other than normal residential usage, based on what other residential customers use, they will change your plan to the talk 30 plan, which for me would cost about $60 dollars/day to use. I have also heard of other MTs being given pretty large bills. Honestly, I can't sleep at night!
If you can view your paycheck online, you might be able to print W2s. NM

no, but the acct manager gets a daily print out
are on their system, whether or not you know they are doing it...they watch. Even if you exceed your line count in say, 4 hours, they will hound you for not being on the system for at least 6.
I was told by the office to use my own printer and ink to print out
I guess I would have to foward it to my personal email and then print from there. That printer ink is EXPENSIVE! More than postage. Why didn't they just mail everything to us??? Whose money are they using? The MT's who keep them in business??
Make yourself an Excel sheet to do the calculations for you.
Not hard to do.
Once I get my packet, I'm going to do that. If you want I'll post when I do that and would be glad to send it to those who want it.
Naaa, can put it on one sheet but you'll have a separate
column(s) for ASR figures.
Right and if they are offering OT, you just note it on sheet. No biggee.

my instruction sheet says 222 for for slow, 333 for speed.

Thanks a million!! I guess the spread sheet confused my eyes. :)

I think it is one person. I had a few print outs from a few weeks ago and this person even capital
I have had a positive one. I have been with Keystrokes for 3 months and am very happy.
I printed them to show my manager but she told me that there are few bitter people out there and no one can do anything about them. My manager said that everyone can tell that it is the same few over and over again, for Keystrokes and a few other companies as well. Time to move on Ms. Anon. I cannot think why a company would go through the trouble of getting IDs and getting you installed just to ignore you after that. Doesn't make sense, does it? Are you sure that't the whole truth? You keep saying truth but it sounds fishy.
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
They are very nice people.
The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.
Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm

Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
Saw this on their website.
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm
nm
I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it. I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that? I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life). Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything. I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family. At least my dogige understands.
I've been there quite a while, pay on time, growth spurt right now, so good time to get on board,
new accounts and lots of work, and before someone says it, I'm not management, just an employee.
per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me

Full time/part time based on # hours or
# lines per pay period, nothing to do with quality. The lower the quality the higher the pay it seems.
Solution: Find another job, part time or full time.
Post your resume, hope for the best.
Depends on how flexible you need to be and if full-time or part-time
They are a little more flexible if you are part-time. Not so much full-time, where you can be a little flexible within the day (not a strict 8-5), but if you are scheduled for Monday, you have to work Monday unless you request off, and if you are scheduled for a Holiday, you have to work the holiday, unless you request off. They encourage you to clock out every time you are not typing to keep your lph rate up, which means an 8 hour day can turn into 12 hours at the computer. If they run out of work (which they do quite often), you have to make the time up. They are also leaning more towards Voice Recognition, so MTs are getting trained on that, but not sure what percent will go that way. It does affect how much work you may get though in the other accounts.
They are advertising for full time HIM now, do they still hire part time? nm

It will get better, I hope. Too much time on my hands means too much time on ebay! lol nm
DVHP gives vacation time to part-time people. nm

OSi with part time health insurance and paid time off
OSi does offer health insurance and paid time off for part time. Yes, there have been changes. Yes, there will probably be more changes. I don't see anywhere that hasn't had changes. If they don't change they will be out of business the way the economy is these days, just like some other companies. If they don't make money, then I don't make money. So, what is so different with OSi compared to other companies? I see complaints constantly about all companies. I don't think it is the fault of the company that they outsource or use voice recognition. It just is life on life's terms these days. There is still enough work for us, at least for me. 
My thoughts exactly, why waste my time when you know you are only hiring full time? nm

From time to time those paper checks aren't good!

This comes at the same time they are pushing this TAT time. I have no intention of sitting here on a
set schedule for no work. The only reason I get work now is working erratic hours when there is work so I think anyone that works for Amherst better put down on their time schedule they send in they will be working when there is work. The worst thing that can happen is you get canned for working different hours and if there is no work who cares. They surely dont care about SE do they. They just pull the rug out and expect all these people with second jobs to adjust and quite frankly a lot of them wont be able to so I think it tells you they probably dont care about those people. I think with ASR and EMR they figure they can just trim the work force and the first they dont care about are those with other jobs using this as a second income or spending money. Pretty obvious to me.
Its holiday time. I just took a part time job at K-Mart and
it is really quite fun because I get to interact with humans and do not have to stare at a computer. My part time benefits included an employee discount on merchandise from day 1 of employment, can put that on lay-away, and if the item goes on sale before you pick it up, you get it at the sale price as well as with the discount. This is a Super K-Mart, and with kids this will really help with paying for their presents. It sure beats running out of work every day and wondering if I am going to have any money for gifts.
Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.
The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job. I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time.
I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.
Full time but no work half the time-nm
nm
okay to yell the first time but not correct etiquette the second time?
