    Labor Board Denied
    The Labor Board only deals with "Employer/Employee" situations.  I only have and always only had Independent Contractors that I provide a 1099.  She claimed to be an "employee".  If you read up on the ABC and/or the 20-law factors of the IRS, you would understand more on this.  She also claimed some other issues that did not involve the Labor Board as well.  I have all the paperwork.
    Name one person who has been denied the

    right to buy a Christmas tree, go to church, have *Santa* deliver presents to their kids, mail Christmas/Holiday cards to their friends and relatives and have Christmas dinner with their family.


    If we want to keep freedom OF religion for all, we need to implement freedom FROM religion in government offices, public schools and any other place that is supposed to be for ALL people, regardless of their religious beliefs.


    There will always be places of worship for everyone, regardless of their beliefs.  There will always be religious schools available to children with parents who want them to have that kind of education.


    In my opinion, the issue is religious freedom for ALL, not special treatment for SOME.


    Merry Christmas.


    Labor Board
    Forget the state - go to the Department of Labor on website - I had to, my company "borrowed" from my IRA and although I got my money, I did not get my interest, cap gains etc. The labor board is helping me now, including filing charges against them for bouncing checks etc. The problem is if no one complains when the check bounces not much you can do. Bounce a check at walmart and go to court possible jail- bounce a paycheck and do nothing if they send out another to you, doesn't matter when they do, just that they do.  If it happens often, don't request a new check file charges and then get your money. They won't do it again.
    Labor Board

    For those of you who are not getting paid (seems like an epidemic) report your employer to the labor board in your state.  A word on Gant Transcription - this being a company who either does not pay or sends checks with insufficient funds - be wary of any advertisements here or on any other board - it's a bad deal - remember you are not working for free - and this company does not pay unless forced to.  Don't fall into Gant's trap unless you like spending your days and nights working for nothing.  If your company is not paying - keep all correspondence and report them immediately to your labor board - they will straighten things out.  The BBB is not the way to go - they can do nothing to get your past wages to you - but the Wage and Labor Board can and will.


    I am an IC so labor board can't help
    I will be filing a small claims suit next. Unfortunately this company is in Midwest and I am on East Coast, so I am going to have to look into the logistics of it. Thanks.
    This is a lie. Go look at the labor board website.
    Funny to me what people ASSUME is covered by The Government! LOL

    check with the labor board. Would they pay you double
    if they let you go without notice?
    Check with your state's Labor Board on #2
    .
    My suggestion is to call the Labor Board for your state. SM
    If you are working in a hospital and you have to physically be there, I think the law states they must pay you an hourly wage.  I think they're trying to screw the MTs. 
    One late check, I'd forgive, but the 2nd and I'd on my way to the Labor Board. (nm)

    Call the labor board. They will get you your money as long as

    you have documentation to prove you are owed the $$. 


    My mistake. Just send Labor Board dismissal.

    with such great documentation, it sounds to me like you should be able to call the labor board
    or at least unemployment...it is something you really should consider. there are civil service jobs, if you do not want to work at home, and you can get help finding a job that way.

    this is what is needed when going to the labor board so they get a clear-cut look at what is happening in this business.

    just because it saves a buck, should not mean employees should be able to be treated like dirt...

    you have been pushed out of your job, sounds like, and that at least qualifies for unemployment.

    believe me, any other job you find out there will be almost the same, but you could collect some money while you look for something with the same pay, am I correct?

    SE or not, too, you have lost YOUR LIVELIHOOD. what do people think, like okay you have no way to make a living now...
    Get in touch with your State's LABOR BOARD. Years ago I got stiffed....(s/m)
    out of one paycheck (that bounced), plus the employer had been lying to me for almost a year about my health insurance! (Was taking $$ out of my paycheck to pay for insurance, but instead kept it for herself.) I went to the Labor Board, paid a very nominal fee to file, and all I had to do was write down what happened, and that I wanted my money that I'd earned, plus what I'd paid for "insurance." Not only was I paid (fairly promptly, too!), but they went into that office and tore it apart, finding many more labor infractions. Business was shut down, and I believe she did some time in jail. Even if I hadn't gotten a time, that alone would've been worth the filing fee!
    Labor Stats from Dept of Labor for MT inside

    This is quite interesting...it is too long to post here but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the statistics.  Thanks!

    Minnie you have to be the angriest person I have seen on this board
    What up with that. No one is whining. We are doing a job. It is boring as sin and we all have a life beyond this job, which you don't seem to have. All anyone doing is venting through some of the rough spots that we all have from time to time. Give it a rest will ya
    WHY is this person allowed to post on the equipment board?

    You are a FUNNY person. I'm glad you found this board!
    LOL
    How comes this person wasn't reported to the monitor board? I told someone to read the red note on
    I'll probably get banned for writing this, but my comment was much milder than this. I didn't call anyone any names. What's up with this?
    Never had MOO, but BC/BS denied every
    single claim, even well child visits.   I was so glad to be rid of them. 
    claim was denied.
    esd said that i was not laid off because of no work so that i could not claim. you have to be laid off because of no work or company shut down (like for inventory, etc.).

    no dice. :(
    Sorry...That should be "declined" not denied.. NM

    Spheris has never denied offshoring.
    That's why all the US MTs get left with the ESL garbage.
    If you've been denied credit within the last
    30 days you can get free credit scores for yourself. Also, if you are on any state or federal assistance program, you are entitled to one free report a year from each of the 3 reporting agencies.

    I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
    It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
    Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is

    if that is all they WANT to type.   Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?


    You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones.   Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between. 


    When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
    leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.

    What are you doing for labor day?
    xxx
    Not til the Wed. after Labor Day ...
    here near Rochester, NY.
    I don't. It is just as labor-intensive and-
    you end up fixing things like changing "were" to "are", "a" to "an", that kind of thing.  Easier in my opinion to type from scratch, not to mention that you are usually making half what a normal line rate is to do VR.
    I am, too, wonder if it's just because of the Labor Day holiday?

    No, its cheap labor.

    7 or even 7.5 cpl is slave labor

    I had a company offer me 7.5 cents recently and I said no, perservered it out, and found a great company that pays 10 cents a line and they actually care about their MTs, not treat them like a number.   Hold out for what you deserve to be paid and don't compromise.  A company paying 7 cents is looking for slave labor.    


    Slave labor
    ... sounds like someone is on their high horse in a third world country and expects American MTs to get with the slave labor mentality!
    You can also go to the Dept. of Labor. (n/m)

    They use overseas labor.

    Need labor union
    After 20 years in this industry I can't wait to get out of it - early retirement here I come...They want to pay highly skilled translators (which is more what we do) at rate of a typist.
    What you doing over the Labor Day holiday?

    Happy Labor Day!

    Speaking of labor, I am working today.  Anyone else working this holiday?

    Why would it cost $140? inc. labor?
    you can do it yourself, it's easy.  I doubled mine for about $60, but I think I got another 512 MB or so, then got I think a $20 rebate. I noticed the speed.  It's easier to keep multiple programs running and loaded and properly functioning at one time.  Multitasking is easier.  My work computer is 256, tell me that doesn't suck!  I spend half my day waiting, it seems.
    Yep, that is labor also and you gotta know
    I am dumb when it comes to computers and such. I would hate to really mess something up to where I could not work. I might have to have some memory removed in order to go to 1.5 but my computer will go to 2. Wonder if I should go for that much? thanks for the advice.
    Labor laws
    I think there may be some strong labor laws against such behavior. State labor laws obviously vary, but even Federal Labor Laws should prevent this.

    I hate to hear about collusion like this against a person, who possibly just had the temerity to disagree.

    It is not manual labor...
    just another excuse by you
