You may want to check out the Bangor Daily News online State page for August 7 of this week. President, Michael Deville was found liable for employee discrimination. Sounds like a great place to work. In addition, that manager you are speaking of most likely has no backbone when it comes to standing up when it's require of her.

HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION RULES IN FAVOR OF PAST EMPLOYEE OF DEVENTURE
NOT GOOD!!!
Call human resources. I called human resources about it. Sooner or later they will get tired of the
calls and do something about it. Safety in numbers. I have called twice. I forgot to mention the assinine QA point plan though. Mostly I bitched about the no work thing. Told them the new pay plan based on incentive is another joke with no work. Cant make incentive with no work.
another DeVenture
disillusionment, I would bet.

Interesting reading here for anyone thinking about applying with DVHP.
Drop DeVenture a line!
It's summer and it's BUSY! I've been starting an hour early and ending an hour later and it's kinda pissin' me off now---it's the time of year one wants to be outside! I know they're lookin' for help and I've got nuthin' but good things to say about them. I'm not a boss or nuthin', just a lowly typist, but I do like the work and especially my boss lady (workflow manager, whatever the heck she's called!). Give it a shot. The main site is www.deventure.biz if your interested.
I think DeVenture, eTransPlus, TransTech, and some Medware accts use

Oh, but THEY all have rights, you know
We can't abuse the rights of all the child molesters and other criminals, but the rest of us are just out of luck. I have a VERY permanent solution for them--it involves a pair of very rusty and dull pinking shears-- use your imagination.
FTP rights
you might want to have your employer check your logon for the FTP site -- they may not have given you rights to delete files. Simple change on their end.
The merchants would be within their rights
to pursue a criminal complaint against the bad check writers. Posting the bad checks is mild punishment by comparison. Your friend should feel relieved not to be going to jail. Bad checks are theft. I'm with the business people. Irresponsible bad-check writers raise prices and fees for honest, financially responsible people. If this were my friend, I'd be reconsidering the friendship.
renters have rights
Ask for a copy of the bill from the cleaning company they hired to clean it. If you had a pet, carpet cleaning comes out the nonrefundable pet deposit. Typically, if you have lived in a place for more than 2 years, the mgmt company has to replace the carpet and repaint the walls anway. Check it out in your state and local community. They have to have a bill for the 160 dollars. They can't just charge fictitious amounts and have their own people do it.
There's really nothing wrong with that at all. She had the same rights as everybody else. nm

employee rights
The hospital I work for has called the at home Transcriptionist and told them if they do not meet a 1000 line a day line, with a 10,0000 line pay period they would suspend us for three days, the next time is termination. They also have out sourced alot of the work that has recently been dictated. My question where do I find legal advice for my line of work. I am a full time employee, I recieve insurance and retirement, they tell us when we have to work, adding onto our schedule, then tell us we have to work weekends and holidays to lower the count. We do not receive overtime, holiday pay, vacation time, or sick time. With us being a full time employee, we have also been by passed when across the board raises have been given to other full time employees. I just want to know what the in home transcriptionist legal rights are and don't know where to find them. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
A question regarding patients' rights
I was just wondering this. My mother was recently sent to a "liver specialist" who is local gastrointestinal doctor because of concern over persistently elevated liver function tests. He drew a LOT of blood work on her and only told her that it looks like she might have a fatty liver. He set her up to come back in six weeks to "get the results of her lab tests." SIX WEEKS! With her being very concerned, of course, we immediately searched the net and found out that fatty liver occurs in patients 1). who drink alcohol (she never has), 2). Patients who are overweight (she is not) or 3). Patients with diabetes (she hasn't got that, either). It says that a liver biopsy is how they find this out. He never mentioned doing one of those. My question is.. would a physician want to wait 6 weeks to find out lab results? You know it doesn't take 6 weeks to get the results back, they probably had them back within a day or two. In the meantime, she is stressing big time about what could be wrong. 
Help needed...are there any rights/repercussions for an IC...
who was fired after a year of employment as an IC? No warning was given. IC had a problem with TAT one day, rather than MTSO firing that day, waited a week and then was just let go. Is there any way to apply for unemployment....any rights at all for an IC? Now I will have no income until next job starts. I have a family to support and bills that are due. Wow, I am just so surprised!!
Animals have more rights than babies do!
nm
well, I am NOT obsessing over animal rights! sm
What exactly are you doing to make the world a better place? Discussing the killing of dogs in another country sure does help, yeah, uh huh...get over yourself
Of course, I know who owns rights to all my software.
You should also know and understand licensing rights. I also want to give my money to the right people.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS-LINES, TIME, PTO
Face it - the nationals are going to outsource alot more. We are no longer immune to the economy. They are just waiting for some of you to leave - and you will. Using your PTO now (at their convenience) just means they don't have to pay it to you later. You can not FIRE someone for lack of performance if there is a lack of work. The number one eligibility for worker's comp is lack of work and the nationals certainly can't deny that. If your income has been cut by one-third for 60 days or more, there are better incomes out there (maybe not with nationals), but the American companies do provide good pay, steady work, and understand and respect your rights as a worker. If it is unemployment you want, do not quit. Find out now how it works in your state. There is about a week's waiting period. You only get about 50% of your income for anywhere from 13-26 weeks.
For those of you who have no choice except to stay - do some research. If you are full time with good performance records, benefits, and PTO - your job is just as legitimate as if you worked in a factory or any institution in YOUR state. Your job has to be defined - hours, work, etc. If your company is not supplying the work, then that changes your job definition. There are laws in every state to protect you as a worker. Know them. They can be different state to state. Remember, standing up for your rights may get you layed off and unemployment only lasts about 6 months.
You would do all MTs a favor if you shared some of your research here on different state laws and better companies to work for.
i'd definitely complain, stand up for your rights to be paid. if you don't say anything, it w

I love to see people exercise their minds (and their rights)...will check it out...
Thank you, for sharing...
After all, if no one would have stood up years ago, we would still be called the 'typing pool' and making probably $7/hour, AND answering phones, filing, etc.
AAMT did have a huge role in that happening, but I have not seen them do anything for the American MT in a very long time.
According to the Advance Health mag (which is turning into a 'rag' in my opinion), their latest article is how MTs with disabilities are now being trained in INDIA...and elsewhere overseas, and just how wonderful and joyous that all is - !?#@$#@
Sisters, it is TIME we do something and take a stand.
Human? - sm
To err is human...to scam is criminal....and she will be brought up on charges this time, I will make sure of it.
You must not be a human being.
If you knew a patient's life was in danger you would not be at all concerned?
that is verbatim. QAs are only human too. nm
Human responses?
?
Actually it is the height of human
We are poisoning the earth and ourselves. Nature is amazing in her resilience, but do you know how long it takes the ecosystem to recover from fires and floods? Did you know that fire retardant has been found in human breast milk? What about the amount of pesticides and chemicals in the bloodstreams of infants and children? Denial is the only thing scarier than that. Do the research, it will open your eyes.
Every species EXCEPT HUMAN. nm

Yes, I think it's human nature

I agree with you. We are ALL human...nm.

Human nature
People generally don't talk about how happy they are on a regular basis. They tend to want to talk to others when something is bothering them, and focus more on the negative. So I guess it makes sense that you don't see a lot of posts that say "Ladeedah, how I love my job and what a stupendous day it is in the transcription world today!" The job is just a means to a happier life, not the definition of a happy life.
Personally, I feel honored that I am in this profession. Not because of the money or the skill and intelligence that it requires, but primarily because it allows me to be home with my daughter instead of shipping her off to daycare every day for some stranger to screw up. That is why I will deal with the lack of raises, crappy dictators, periodic lack of work, mgmt that is too overworked to care, etc. To be with my baby all the time and still bring in a paycheck, however meager it may be.
They believe ASR is human transcription?
They were all probably told that is why the work is over there and they have to fix our stuff, that way it boosts their egos.
I still believe it is the other way around. OH...our ignorant minds.
Yes, we are all human BUT my post isn't going to part...
of a medical record.
You are probably more upset than the doctors will be. They might act tough, but they are human too.
I'm with you, we're all still human beings operating these
It doesnt hurt to say a few words on behalf on someone at the other end. If you don't have that within yourself, and you don't need it in return, you're a cold and lost person.
ENFJ here, miss human contact
working at home.
No, I like to feel human thank you. I wear my jeans or better.
I am not the type who wants to go around sloppily all day. It makes all the difference in your outlook as to how you dress and your personality.
Nice job by calling it. Docs are human too.
Its human nature to impose on other people whats right for yourself!
Even when its not asked for. Maybe some people like to surround themselves with nonsense and chaos, where as I like peace and quiet! I think people who like working with other people are either pretending or just plain crazy!
sorry, you are assigning human logic/emotions to animals...
seal mothers do not go nearly insane with fear and pain as they watch their babies being clubbed to death in front of them. - you've got to be kidding. Animals are incapable of the complexities of logic and emotion to get to that conclusion. If you want something to be frantic about, go to Africa and see the abandoned newborn infants piled in chicken wire crates in the hospital. Let's get priorities in order and no, a boy is not a dog or a pig or a rat.
You're human. Blanks happen. Should never be penalized for them. nm

Sorry. I am human and I make mistakes like everyone else. Obviously I meant "two." nm
nm
I'd love to agree, but I can't. I do think some doctors are aware a human being is transcribi
for them, but I think it is far from the majority.
When I worked for a vet. guy had dog allergy tested and dog was allergic to human dander. No kidding
:I
And create enormous amounts of trash and pollution. Human overbreeding is doing us in. nm

The people proofing are human. Humans make mistakes daily.

I wouldn't take a position that docked for errors. We're all human, not infallible.

Anyone know higher-up contact names at Dept. of Health and Human Services..sm
this is who created HIPAA. Anyone willing to email or write any of these people in regard to these offshoring issues and how the doctors should be required to inform the patient when their medical information is leaving the country in order to be transcribed. HIPAA was created with privacy and protection as its main purpose, but ironically once the work leaves the country, this means nothing. The Dept. of Health and Human Services (HIPAA) needs to step up and do the right thing here in the best interest of our country's citizens, while preserving many U.S. transcriptionists who will lose their jobs if no changes are made.
Never said people didn't have typos we are all human BUT the mistakes I stated were NOT typos
I probably QA where you work..hmmmmm
So tell us about her. What type of dog? Funny stories? Sweet stories? Just like when a human pas
sharing of memories can help. I have two dogs, one is 9 and the other 10. I actually cry thinking that something might happen to them, so I cannot imagine how you feel but I do know that "talking" about it can be very healing.
Contract/no contract -- same rights
You do not have to have a written contract to take them to court. All you have to do is to prove you have been providing work to him, past statements/invoice will do that, you just fill out the small claims forms and go to court. But first of all I would personally go in and talk with someone about it. Could be the office manager/bookkeeper and not the doctor that is not paying you. He may not know anything about it. And please do not make the "joke" as above mentioned, that is very LOW class, tacky and not professional at all. Especially if you are in a small area -- you need to conduct like a professional. But call and make an "appointment" to talk with the doctor either in person or through a phone call. Some doctors do not know what is going on in their office and perhaps the office manager wants to be paid first. If the doctor does know, then in person or over the telephone inform him that you have no other choice but to pursue the debt just as they would if someone did not pay their bill and if that involves going to small claims court, then that is the route you must take. Good luck. I did take one to court without a contract and won.
