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.

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.

  Anyone apply for the 12-hour day, 4-day week they are offering? 

I had to laugh when I saw their ad for a four-day week, 12-hour day.  In order to get in enough lines to make a 12-hour day, with all the clocking in and clocking out for every little thing like blowing your nose, you will be sitting at that computer 24 hours a day for four-days in a row.  And when are you suppose to eat?  What happens when there is no work during those days -- you end up working on your days off anyway!!! So much for a 4-day week.  Even overtime will have to be on your days off. 

If anyone is working that schedule now, please let us know if it is working out well for you.  GOOD LUCK.  I admire your stamina. 

Happy Holidays

I'd be editing VR all day though as she sends her standard transcription off to some MTSO.  I forgot to ask which.  Those wages are not bad really for this part, but nothing to scream about.  I was making $14 an hour at the in-house hospital job and the peak there was $17.50.   The bens are wonderful, $150 for family and that includes dental, vision.  We also get a 401k. 

But just from the interview, we only get yearly raises.  She doesn't do merit increases.  There are no quarterly QA audits.  Her standards are low, 1100 lines per day for editing.  She told me I was at the top of her list to hire but she is still interviewing.  I took it as she was looking for someone who would work cheaper.

Seemed like we all had enough work to go around.  Perhaps this is more beneficial for the company, but the 35 hours makes it easier to work in a part time job if necessary due to low work. 

Last time my accounts were low for a while I picked up an IC gig, then like a fool when OT was offered on my main job I quit the IC job and went for the bucks.  That lasted about 2 weeks.  Will not be that foolish again.

to pay was because they did the ole trick where they demanded mandatory overtime and then specifically said in their emails that they would NOT pay for anything over 40 hours and for us not to put it on our time sheets.

I would imagine that by the time they had to pay everyone who answered the Labor Department questionnaire and whatever penalty, they were wishing they hadn't said what they said in writing.  I think all of the management from that time is also gone.

This has got to be the most unprofessional situation I have ever witnessed.  I cannot believe it.

In NY minimum wage is now $7.15, so that is not min wage here either.

I thought I had read something recently that stated Nuance/Focus was developing some software that would completely do away with transcriptionists in the next few years.  I worked for Focus 5 years ago and they were a terrible company then to work for, I see they have just kept getting worse.  You are entitled to minimum wage if you are an employee. If your line count does not come to that contact your local DOL and apply for unemployment benefits.  if you don't you are hurting yourselves and other MTs who come after you.

The most you can expect to make at Medware is 0.08 a line.   Medware has some extremely difficult accounts with a lot of ESL doctors.  It is very hard to make a good line count.  Additionally, Medware watches how many minutes you work during the day.  You must work a full 8-hour shift.  If you have problems and need to call your supervisor, need to email your supervisor, create samples or go over files from the editors, have a problem with pay or vacation time or anything similiar, you will do it on your time.  You have to put in your 8 hours TYPING, nothing else counts.
