Is it Wage & Hour or Labor Board...sm
To help get payment. MW is trying to screw me - gave my lines to somebody else and are dragging their feet BIG time. Gonna report them, tired of it and need my money.
has anyone reported OSI to wage hour commission
MS size=2>because they CONSTANTLY harass you about working on your days off but you aren't allowed to put the hours on your timesheet if it throws you into overtime. That is against the law - to work without recording your hours. I am going to report them if nobody else has.
OSI was reported to wage & hour about this last week
/
Must be paid MINIMUM WAGE for each hour -sm
worked under 40/wk if employee in the U.S., regardless of work type, job description. In addition, must be PAID FOR ALL WORK PERFORMED - I won't even go there.
Att: Flamers: You can look this up yourself in DOL regulations.
Wage-hour takes nonpay of overtime very seriously
3 people have just last week reported a large national company for requesting people to work without recording hours in order to avoid overtime. They have moved on to better things but had all documentation they needed. They were told this is a serious offense. Note if your company asks you to work without recording hours or that overtime is not approved it is against the law and you can take legal action. This is true for any company.
$1,000 divided by 40 hours is $25.00 an hour. Where do you live that that is minimum wage? nm

That means they do outsource. One division is here and one division overseas,
taking a low wage does not lower the pay for a field. The fact that they are offering stated wage
means that is the market. You don't see ads for McDonald's for $36/hour and you don't see ads for A.G. Edwards for $20,000/yr. If they didn't think they could fill a job for $14, they wouldn't post it. Notice MT jobs are now posting at 5, 6 and 6.5. So guess what editors are going to make?
Please notify the supervisor or QA (sm)
Many of us were QA'd for weeks because they had the luxury of taking the time with us then. This is a good thing. They will eventually take care of all this, but if it is a priority, which I think this is, it will be taken care of pronto. Just do it.
I have the same situation you do and I, too, notify -
out of courtesy. Like you, I don't HAVE to, but I do out of respect not only for my MTSO but for the acount and the patients - all of which I do not want to lose. It's not all about what I want.
I understand exactly where you are coming from.
OK thanks. Can I give you my email somehow so you can notify me if/when they are? (nm)

I would definitely notify management. Also, on this account you really can't tell
if it's in QA or not because there is no upload status code so I would assume that it is.
I think you should check with your employer. It seems to me they would have to notify you,
because I think they would have to offer you COBRA, which you probably couldn't afford anyway as you would have to pay the full premium, but it seems like you would have to be notified that you benefits were being terminated.
Simple solution: Notify the IRS.

Yes, supposed to notify help desk
Every time we run out of work (or at least the first time each day) we're supposed to let them know, because it helps them document workflow issues. So if OP is always out of work at certain times, her supe would be made aware of it through the help desk, and see a pattern.
Unless something has changed, health insurance rates vary state by state, so we may not have the
info you need. I'm an IC so I don't have benefits.
If you can't do it, notify tech support. Maybe there is a problem.

Has payroll come in-house already? They said they would notify us when this happaned.
Is our HR and payroll oursourced still? I have not heard that TT has taken back HR and payroll in the TT office yet. Has anyone heard this?
You are correct. The state that rules is the state the employee lives in.
My state laws has is spelled out in their Code. If another state does not withhold, they are fined heavily and if they don't withhold for years, their fines are pretty bad. I worked for a Florida co that did not withhold income tax for my state even after I brought it to their attention in the state code. They kept saying that they would eventually and never did. After two plus years and when I left, I made it known to my state all the conversations, the state refunded me all late fees they charged me and then said they were going after the company in Florida because they had many employees in our state. They deserved it. They knew better.
Keystrokes - How do they notify you if you qualified for vacation time? Thanks! nm
nm
which division? sm
Each one is different.
The state you live in or the state where the MTSO is located? nm
nm
what division did you work at? nm
Depends on which division..... sm
I currently work for 2 different divisions of MD-IT, and they are both kind of slow right now. I have only worked for them for a few months.
Can I ask which division you work for? sm
I may also be in the process of moving on after the nasty email I and all the other MTs received from the director.
MD-IT Louisville Division
If you currently work for this division, please email me. I'd like to talk to other MTs about the current situation there. Thanks!
Ahh, yes, I worked for that division too...
they were not the greatest.
Well, it all depends on the division you work for too. nm
That's true. Sorry you had a bad experience. My division...sm
is in TX and it has been pretty smooth up until this point.
It all depends on which division you work for...
I worked for several during my time there, and there were all different.
SoftScript has a separate path division.
But they don't seem to have many openings and when they do, they are offered to the MTs already there.
I work with MD-IT Louisville Division, very happy-sm
I started working for MD-IT in October and it has been a fabulous fit for me! I work in the Louisville Division, there are several others. The work is steady, sometimes overwhelming, but manageable, at least in my accounts. They try not to overstaff the accounts. MD-IT share their transcriptionists across the board and if your primary and secondary run out, they can find you work elsewhere rather quickly. The people are wonderful to work with and friendly. Pay is average, but it is fine for me. There is very little ESL, and what ESL there is is fairly easy to understand. Your coordinator is just an IM message or a phone call away and very helpful. I hope this helps.
To what office/division to you file the report?
If it is, in fact, anonymous, can you tell me how to do this? I'm currently working for a company that has me WAY outside the bounds of IC and I'm about a hair away from completely fed up.
I looked around the IRS website for a bit, but didn't see where to do this.
Help?
Any info about MD-IT Intelligent Transcriptions/Louisville Division?
Any information on this company is greatly appreciated. 
If company is in state that has no state taxes
they are not required to take out state taxes. It's enough to keep up with your own state tax law code, could you imagine having to stay abreast of 49 other state tax codes? The cost would be huge and ultimately passed on to us by lower line rates. Regardless of who owes the tax, someone has to pay it. Just a matter of convenience I guess.
Not state by state, federal labor law - sm
and you don't have to be asked. If you work it, asked or not, they have to pay time and a half OT rate for hours worked over 40 in a week.
Taken right from U.S. Dept of Labor -
An employer who requires or PERMITS an employee to work overtime is generally required to pay the employee premium pay for such overtime work. Employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)MUST receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek of at least one and one-half times their regular rates of pay. The FLSA does not require overtime pay for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest.
Extra pay for working weekends or nights is a matter of agreement between the employer and the employee (or the employee's representative). The FLSA does not require extra pay for weekend or night work or double time pay.
Different state to state. You would be surprised to find
IC can be defined differently state to state. Even the IRS cannot come up with a definitive set of rules. You would be surprised how many ICs actually get unemployment in some states. If the unemployment claim form asks specifically if you are an independent contractor, do not lie, but if it does not, do not volunteer it. Let the company prove you are a true IC according to the rules of your state. All you lose is a few minutes filling out the claim form. I would only do it as a last resort. If you can find work fast, by all means go for it, but the way things are now with all the VR and off-shoring, it is a backup if you cannot find work. No one should go hungry because they are afraid to file for Unemployment as an IC.
Major attitude issue at office payroll division...nm
think, people! If she does 250 lines/hour, same docs daily, will make $15/hour
nm
100,000/year - no way. I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days - sm
AND I DO NOT CLEAR $100,000/YEAR.
what's not to believe - I said that I charge $35/hour and work 10 hour days AND DO NOT MAKE - sm
I DO NOT MAKE $100,000/YEAR
try READING the post.
$35/hour x five 10-hour days = $1,750 gross/week.

$20 an hour is not even average for radiology. You should not make less than $25-30 per hour. sm
I work for Keystrokes and have for 3 years. I average 25 reports an hour, which is $31.25 an hour. I have 401, health insurance, direct deposit, life insurance. My lead tells me I'm wonderful when I talk to her, but I do not need a daily pat on the back.
I also have a good friend who works for them on a clinic. She only makes 0.08 per line but does 300 lines an hour, which is $24 an hour, again higher than your $20.
I don't think we're selling ourselves short. There are companies out there that are good to work for, 6 or 8 of them that I know of personally. Don't settle for $20 an hour.
Well if I could do 500 lines per hour, I would be making 35.00 an hour. sm
nothing to sneeze at. More than fair for having a 2-year degree. Come on people, we are all acting like we expect 6-digit incomes! Whatev!
They should take out state taxes for the state
nm
It varies from state to state
nm
Varies from state to state
My own state recognizes partial unemployment, too, when your work gets cut down to half of your regular workload/income.
They must deduct FEDERAL taxes.. NOT STATE taxes.. if they took out state taxes.. it would be FLORID
which would only have to be refunded to you for you to pay YOUR state what you owe them which is nothing but a pain... be glad they weren't handling your state tax.. and I think in this case.. if someone at the IRS told you they have to deduct YOUR states taxes.. it is that person who is uneducated... they only have to deduce federal income tax
Min. wage
That isn't even minimum wage in San Francisco, where it's something like $9.25+ per hr.
Min wage in NY
In NY minimum wage is now $7.15, so that is not min wage here either.
