I think she is referring to company policies not the policies on this board. sm
There are board posting policies at the top of the page

QA policies
Hi All,
I am working with a company that is in the formation stages and was trying to get input so we could put together a very competitive package for MTs. I know average line rates, etc. but wanted input on experiences anyone has had with regards to QA policies - do companies penalize for bad quality and, if so, how much? Same with turnaround time. The more details you can provide, the better.
Thanks for any feedback!
What policies are those??
New OSI policies
Now in order to be paid for holidays you have to have at least 98% QA score for the previous 6 months. I understand how quality counts but if you are counted off for any moronic thing which is usually the case because there is no consistency whatsoever with OSi QA dept. you will not be paid for holidays within 6 month period. You must also meet minimum line requirements and it doesn't matter if there is no work, low work or PTO. I cannot believe that if there is no work prior to a holiday you won't be paid for the holiday. Just another way to rip off the MTs who are the bread to the butter of this company. Fortunately I have never had a QA problem but I have run out of work on more than one account. This is one more reason I have decided to give OSI a big kick in the behind, BYE BYE OSI. GOOD GRIEF! 
Company policies
usually state that no political affiliation be displayed in the work place, and I believe that sending political emails is definitely against procedures and protocol of any company. Employees can get fired for promoting personal beliefs in the workplace, but managers and owners can preach religion and push their political beliefs. Double standards ad infinitum.
Transtech does not have any policies like this

I have BCBS individual policies for myself and
my last home-living son. When all my children were still at home, they had individual policies that they could take with them.
It was cheaper for me to do buy each of us an individual policy and know that I can keep us insured 100% of the time regardless of whether I changed jobs or not.
The plan I chose for ours has a $5000 major medical deductible but we have not ever had to use hospitalization and I can pay out $5000 one way or another. Office visits are covered 100%. That was my main concern as I wanted the routine items covered. I can handle facing the other big ticket items. I also wanted the lowest premium possible. It was a great bargain for us.
TTS does not change policies, procedures and
don't drop bomb shells constantly like MQ. I work for both and TTS is a reliable MTSO to work for, little hassel and no stress, not to mention actually having a primary to work on. I would rather make 9 cpl and have job security and comfort with TTS than all the stress of MQ! Take the job, you will love it!
Whoa! That's one of the strangest policies I've seen
They make you list 3 places you tried to look up a term? That's just plain nuts. I wonder what their turnover rate is.
Thanks for the info.
I have a question regarding pre-existing and insurance policies if anyone can help me. sm
I haven't had insurance in a long time but my DH is coming up to qualify for insurance in July. It is BC/BS and is $305/mo for he and I with $2000 deductible. I have been having a lot of medical issues lately. I see on the paperwork it asks for proof of insurance for the last 18 months. I don't have any. Anybody know what they will do about pre-existing? I could go to a doc where nothing is documented but at this point I am not sure if it is better for me to search my own policy or get on his given my medical situations. I don't know how the pre-existing things work.
it is NO longer MDI people, it is Transcend policies
The rules change, the people change either from new policies or new staff.
Didn't you read where they send out threats of termination if line count not met YET YET, the MTs don't have the work to GET the line count and they know it, were told that.
I've had private individual policies and you pay a fortunate for bad coverage.
You either get stuck with an awful deductible or a policy which limits coverage. So, that is not always a good option. If you want a decent cheap premium, you get what you pay for.
For decent private individual policies, it is very expensive for a family.
Unless, you have a $5000-7500 deductible and a 50% copay on prescriptions which is bad for us because my son takes medication that costs $160 a month. If we went with a policy equal to what my job provides, the premium is over $1000 a month. With my job, I am paying about $400 a month for family coverage.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#
x
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?
.
This was moved from main board to company board. Replies don't transfer. nm

I can't give you the name of the message board, but it is not a free message board (HINT). There
Monitor, I hope this post is okay.
You already have your own board. Now you want a board for the ones who leave??

Never Not on this board.

I've been donig this for 10 years and can't remember running out this time of the year. Is anyone else slow. 
Sorry, this should have been on the MQ board. nm

probably more for another board, but...
In response to the posts about Christmas, I remember the good old days when the Jewish radiologist I worked for took the whole staff out for a big Christmas dinner and gave us all generous bonuses. We in turn gave him and his wife Hanukkah gifts. It's called mutual respect and being big enough to accept and respect each others' differences without taking away anyone's right to celebrate according to their own beliefs.
Where is the MQ board? (SM)
See the links to specialty boards to the left. Medquist is the 4th link from the top.

TT's ads all over job board!!!

Look on the job board
someone on this board once said that they (sm)
give you a line raise after you are taken off 100% QA. I was never told that and did not get it.
Board changes (SM)
We have condensed the number of board forums to reduce the confusion on where to post what topics.
You can view archives of any of the removed forums by clicking on the Home button at the bottom left and then scrolling to the end of the web page.
If your topic does not have a specific board currently, the Main board will accommodate it.
Thank you.

there was a job on the other board sm
that was paying 7 cpl for MT and part time supervisor. I don't think so.
I was just on the La. board looking for La. MTs.
I never see any postings from MTs of Louisiana and when I asked a question concerning LA MTs I would never get an answer. What part of Louisiana are you located. Do you work as an IC or employee or for a hospital? I have been trying to get an estimate on what Louisiana MTs are paid as I think the amount that I was told by the hospital was too low.
If it is the one from the Job board
Then that is Terry and they are out of St. Louis MO. I currently work for them. Good company to work for. Terry is very enthusiastic about MT. I enjoy the accounts, very low ESL if that is a selling point for you. We also have always had plenty of work and if ever I've run out I just let Terry know and she hooks me up with another account to fill my time.
HTH.
MQ has their own board because they are the
BIGGEST MTSO. Spheris will not allow employees to post anywhere anytime anything about them. Spheris joined up with Indian forces long, long ago in a HUGE volume. I have even read articles from Indian papers and Spheris, with Spheris wanting to reduce its US workload by half at least in order to use Indian labor. I have heard Spheris pay per line is very low. Not putting MQ up on a pedestal. I have worked for both, and Spheris is evil #1, though they keep a very low secretive profile.
I just saw on the job board
@ mtjobs.com QDPRN allows the choice of Word or Wordperfect also. So there seems to be companies out there still using Word.
Could you please tell me how to look at this board?
//
there were some on this board
when FN changed your pay from per report to per line (I think that is what they did). Those posts would be further down, around the date you were switched. If you do a search, you should be able to bring them up and then you can email the posters if you want.
Is this the info you are looking for?
Isn't that what this board is for?
I do agree with the above post - the Pro-KS people just haven't had a bad experience yet - but that doesn't mean it won't happen, they just won't be prepared when it does. Those of us who had bad or miserable experiences with KS should not be ridiculed for speaking our opinion or telling our stories. KS has had a clear-free ride on this board for a long time and it was about time for someone to start the rant on them that has happened today. They could not hide behind a gleeming reputation forever and get away with it. I am so happy that I beat them to the punch, as I described in a previous post - and now I enjoy working for another company that has been bashed on this board off and on for a long time, but I have no complaints. I have plenty of work and good lead people. Not everything is perfect, but what job is perfect. And, as with KS, I always try to stay a step ahead - and watch for signs that things are going awry. It pays off in the long run.
But is job board
Not for job ads? Seems they are advertising for business, not MTs.
because this is a board where MTs
voice their fears and concerns. DAAAAAAA
TT board
I meant, what is it you know?
It's the second ad down on the job board
I see it's from October, so I don't know if they are hiring right now or not. Haven't heard.
Job Board
Anyone know anything about Silent Type??
I don't think it is a TT board, per se (sm)
I think a TT employee started it. The company knows about it but I don't think they are involved in it. I tried getting on it, but I couldn't figure out how, something about a Yahoo group password and then enabling pop ups, or some such foolery, anyway I'm not that computer savvy, so I gave up.
job board
How does one get to be job board to post a resume? Am looking for companies that work for very small facilities, 50 beds or less.
MQ has their own board. You'd probably have
more success there. Sounds like there are lots of people ready to jump ship judging by the posts here the last couple of days.
