I think she is referring to company policies not the policies on this board. sm
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!
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! 
Take a look at board policies. nm

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!
There are board posting policies at the top of the page

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.
