donations
I also started taking pictures of my donations this year because I read somewhere, might have been in Intuit It's Deductible, that it was recommended to do that now and keep with taxes in case of audit, in addition to receipts. We had a major move this year and donated a lot of stuff in good shape, but I didn't get pictures of all of it because hadn't seen that before.
not accepting donations?
Where pray tell did you hear they were refusing donations of food and clothing cause they just want the money? And, heck, yes, if I had no money, I sure would want the money, too. They left with the clothes on their backs to escape the floods..Some even lost part of their clothing and shoes while running through the hurricane and water..They have nothing..No home, no job, animals gone, some families separated..Giving them money so they get back on their feet is the least the federal govt can do. I would rather have my taxes going to help my fellow Americans in the gulf coast than for a dang war that we started.
THAT'S IT! WE DID IT!! Please do not make anymore donations. THANK YOU!!!!

Uh...ok. What does that have to do with federalizing donations from the private sector?
That's part of what I'm saying. People have been donating relief items like blankets, generators, food, diapers, otc medications, etc. to their churches that they think are being dispensed to their fellow Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, whatever. The only problem is the feds are intercepting these donations, federalizing them, and then either storing them in warehouses so that the people who REALLY need them (those not in the shelters because they had actually evacuated to churches) don't get them until they're approved. Or FEMA takes those donations to the churches, intercepts them, federalizes them, and then hands them out to those already approved like everyone in the Astrodome on welfare - while others who have probably never had a handout in their life still wait for help.
Red Cross donations= Research before you donate to ANY NPO
I, for one, will NEVER donate to the Red Cross. Why? My father was NEVER notified his mother died. He never got to attend her funeral or say goodbye. . . He found out after he came home from the service. I could tell you other horror stories, but won't. Sure, I'm bitter, but don't need to be flamed. Would you like to come home and find your mother has been dead and buried and you didn't even know? Think about it.
The Salvation Army is my choice. I KNOW all the money is going to the Katrina Victims. If anyone has a chance, they should look at the statistics on how much money donated really goes to victims of a disaster. The sites escape my memory right now, but they are/should be all online.
donations for the relief coming from 50+ countries, including
-- India is making a $5 million donation to the American Red Cross, Ambassador Ronen Sen said Saturday. In addition, Sen said India was willing to donate essential medicines to the relief effort, noting that India has the largest number of Food and Drug Administration-recognized pharmaceutical companies outside the United States.

hmmmmm
They have only had mandatory OT
once since I've been there, and they said to just let them know if you couldn't do it. I have never been hounded about my line count, and I'm more accurate than fast. I don't think those salary figures are so out of line for the stress and aggravation that must come with that job--there are managers making a lot more in other sectors. After one miserable month at TRS last year, this national has been a much better deal so far.
Mandatory OT
That is why I ended up leaving after 3 years. The OT gets old quick--BUT I think Amphion is probably one of the only MTSOs that pays true over time as in time and a half over 40 hours PLUS your lines, so it's something to think about. I do miss the money. I was on UW and not having to work any of the federal holidays or weekends was fantastic, but honestly, I wouldn't go back because of that darned overtime.
mandatory evacuations
They did make it mandatory evacuations and they did open up the highway, both sides heading out of town. We are all just sitting by watching and there is nothing any one can do, just wait for the destruction and heartache.
Mandatory OT?? Is this for FT and PT positions?? nm
s
You forgot to add that they have mandatory
OT and that they put you on the lowest line account they can. Given the choice between 120 lph and 300, they should put you on the 300, but they will not. Believe me, been here too long and getting ready to go.
Looked mandatory to me...
With PayPal popping up in there....that's not right!
That's optional, NOT mandatory! nm

Mandatory credentialing
Yes ADHI (AAMT) is working towards mandatory credentialing. Anyone who sees that as a threat or joke, probably should not be working as a transcriptionist. Believe me the more education and professional development you gain- you will reap rewards. They may or may not be monetary or happen overnight. Sometimes it is more about professional development.
Most don't pay and a lot of making it mandatory
A lot of companies are asking for this now and will not pay for it and will not let you work unless you have it. Execuscribe and Transcend are 2 that I know for sure but I've heard that a lot more are doing it or thinking of doing it.
MQ mandatory code of ethics course?
Did anyone else get an email from Howard about all MQ employees taking a mandatory ethics course? Hmm...I thot I already WAS ethical....
In my state attendance isn't mandatory if they are 16, so
you can drop out of school at 16, though here they do make it so you can't get a driver's license until you're 18 or something like that as a consequence. I don't know why he'd even bother going to school at all if he wasn't going more than that.
Jury Duty Mandatory
Here in NYS jury duty is mandatory. You can get out of it once or twice, I believe, but then you have to go, they won't excuse you any more. Hopefully, your State is more lenient.
His mandatory EHR will hurt MT's. If you dont
nm
I agree totally, there should be a mandatory
course for 'how to dictate decently', lasting a whole semester! Also 1 semester for techhnical training 'how to keep my dictating equipment running smoothly!'
I am also getting into the habit of 'making up words', when REALLY in doubt I go and check online if this word exists, LOL !
Well That's IT! Lifeguarding will be mandatory prior to being an MT! Hahahahah!
NM
I've been on mandatory overtime for over a week!
Yay! Love overtime.
Ok, the deal with running out of work isn't because of mandatory OT, it's
It's the big thing that a bunch of companies are jumping on. Shameful.
Does your company pay for mandatory training/conferences?
Not as a new hire, but as a regular employee when they have a mandatory phone conference, or training for new platform, ASR, etc. ??
excuse sees acceptable to me since it's a mandatory call.
Life is too short and this seems small to me. Maybe it wouldn't be if I were in your shoes, but it does to me right now, for sure.
Enjoy life, one day at a time.
A breast exam is mandatory for a driver's license??
I cannot imagine a state where it is mandatory for a young girl getting a driver's license to have a breast exam. That just sounds, as does the pressuring you state by the doctor for the cervical cancer shot, so farfetched to me that it is completely unbelievable. I read very well, thank you and am unbelieving of most of what you have posted. Sounds like not only are you stressed but you have some mania going on there.

Mandatory for address for post office but otherwise is a style point--

When Amphion, or any company, has mandatory overtime, they pay overtime pay for it, don't they?
:)
Not mandatory, as you state it depends on your state - sm
or county. Where I am I do not need it; though if I was cutting grass or landscaping I would where I live, makes no sense to me as I am providing a service, but very happy I don't have to have one. We pay personal property tax here and I would have to list all my business related equipment and pay taxes on it every year I was in business. So until I am told otherwise by my county, I will not be getting a business license.
You really cannot see the difference?
When people first started coming to America, it was an undeveloped country. Aside from the Indians, there were no other people living here. What other language was there aside from what the Indians spoke? The new Americans and the Indians learned to communicate with each other and both sides learned the other's language. It only stands to reason, however, that English would be the dominant language, as they became the majority of those living in America.
Also, when our founding fathers came to America, they and the others that then followed made America what it was and is today. THEY are the ones who made America great by the blood, sweat and tears of their families. They had every right to come over here as they were the ones doing all the work!!!!! They did that work to take care of the future generations of Americans.
But now our "powers that be" in the government do not make decisions based on AMERICAN best interests, but for people from other countries. To be politically correct, we have flooded our country with people that want to prosper from OUR WORK. They do not come over here and better America in any way. They better their own little circle of family and actually make life harder for the people who belong here in the first place.
That is the difference between immigrants then and now. The more we let them in now, the more jobs we lose, the higher our bills become, the more terrorism we face. When do WE benefit??????? It has nothing to do with prejudice either. Who cares what they look like, where they are from? It doesnt matter. What matters is what they expect, what handouts they want, the bending of the rules for them while we get no break.
If you are Native American, then I would think that you would be sick and tired of having all you work for taken away from you. I know that I am.
What is the difference from QA and QC TIA

That's the difference between (sm)
preparedness and no plan at all. Shame on LA officials for not implementing their own evacuation plan. Did they really believe a hurricane the size of the Gulf of Mexico wasn't going to be deadly?? If LA officials had followed their own Emergency Operations Plan, most of these senseless deaths could have been avoided.
Same difference, eh?
Don't you think there is a difference between
making a human error and being an inconsiderate pig??? Since they are responsible for these people's records they should go out of their way to be understood. But then again I guess that's our fault too, seeing how the salaries between doctors and transcriptionists (and any other health professional) are so even. Pllllleeeaaassseee. Why don't you send your docs each a Christmas gift for even letting you type their records? They'll stash it right next to all the gifts they get from the medical companies kissing their butts.
no difference
The major concern of IRS is employee versus ic.
EXAMPLE - get 1099 at end of year, you set hours, no benies - IC
EXAMPLE - get W2, punch clock, etc., employee.
As IC, you can deduct all of your business related expenses - i.e., the beauty of small business. Just you, your are a sole proprietor, use Schedule C. Have people under you - several different ways - check out IRS.gov.
There's a difference...
they have a mechanism in place to allow you multiple installs. This only gives you 3.
What is the difference
Can anyone tell me what the difference is between an LX-219 and an LX-219-1. Also what is the difference between a "Basic digital station with backlight" and a "Enhanced digital station with backlight"? Thanks!
I think the only difference with the new law is SM
now you have to complete a credit counseling class, and instead of filing every 6 years, it is 7 or 8, or something like that.
The difference is...
If you want to make more money, then become the business owner, take the risks and then you'll have the additional income. You'll never get rich working for someone else. Complaining and badmouthing management and other business owners never translates into more $$ in the check--sometimes people complain themselves right out of a job.
I know this board is an "open forum" for all topics. It's just unfortunate that so much of the talk is about how terrible management/business owners are. There are lots of good MTSOs out there!
I have never had a difference between say - sm
an OP note versus a H&P or DS, or ER note. I have seen offered diffrence in pay between clinic versus acute care work; clinic is less since it is easier. I have only ever been paid a flat rate, 2 jobs with incentive pay (.005 to .01 more a line over so many lines a day). I have 2 IC jobs now that is flat rate period, regardless of number of lines or when you work them (had a job years ago that sometimes would pay .01 more a line over the weekend but only when they got out of TAT, but that was they only time they would ever do that). Good luck finding an IC job that pays more for the more difficult reports; most likely few and far between.
Okay. That is probably the difference
We are not an MTSO, we are employees of the facility working out of our homes. I will keep track of the e-mails though as you have suggested.
I do believe though that it is more or less passing the buck. That way if it was supposed to be in there and it wasn't the doc has someone else to blame. Thanks everyone.
I don't know that there is a difference, but...sm
I wanted to keep all my things in one place so if I could send the word autocorrects to ShortHand without having to spend the time retyping them all it would be great.
Okay, but what is the difference?
What can an Expander do for me that I am unable to do with Word? (Other than spell Mickey Mouth...heehee)
thanks for the replies!
The only difference in now and then is
way "back then" they probably had a little more upbringing where they said urinate instead of the word you used. I think they called it class?
I don't think there's a difference between the 2...
I've done both and never noticed a difference, just company calling you a subcontractor instead of IC. Maybe just a preference on their part? There's obviously a difference between these 2 and being an employee.
I don't think there is a difference
no difference
I was a sub IC at one time and it made no difference tax-wise than being a regular IC. You're just getting paid by the contractor instead of the client directly.
There is a difference
I do notice a big difference working in InScribe in upload/download time and reliability. There are copies of the dictations on both ends while I work, but I can see that only getting half a file and having dial-up bomb out would not be a good thing (and frustrating, at the very least, for me). Besides the reliability and speed, it's just one of those things....it just IS a requirement. I don't think about it, just use what I'm told to use, and write it off.
