Come on! The grammar and spelling is not THAT bad!...nm

Something is wrong with your spelling and your grammar
I see only 1 mistake in my former post, namely 'built' instead of 'build'.
A typo!
'If you have nothing to say, start attacking and nitpicking....' is this your Motto?
Are you trying to be a QA?
Shall I buy you a book explaining grammar rules and a spell checker?
Please do not correct spelling or grammar on this board. (NM)

This lack of good spelling, grammar, etc
got a coworker of mine under the gun, so to speak. She talked ebonics and sent emails to me the same so I am sure it spilled over in her work. Short story, QA started looking at every report she turned it. Very stressful for her and she eventually quit. She was a nervous wreck- I could undersand that but it will happen if your work is not up to par.
there are all kinds of spelling/grammar mistakes here all the time
This is somewhere that we can let our hair down and let our fingers "loose". If most of us transcribed the way we type here, the doctors would almost be better off hand-writing their reports!
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
then it's up to the cops
Do you know your history? How is it that the poor Irish and Italians from NY and similar places managed to get out of their slums? You want to know what real poverty was all about, read up on it.
That said, the mayor and governor of NO should have taken control of the situation well in advance by doing a mass bus exodus from strategically placed street corners. People can walk to street corners, can't they. The cops should have been going door to door forcing people out of their homes. And the Superdome should have been stockpiled with enough food and water to last several weeks, which it obvious was not because two days after the storm people were saying they had nothing to eat or drink for two days.
It's so much easier for the mayor and/or governor to point the finger of blame at FEMA. That way, they don't have to take responsibility for anything.
cops in neighborhood
Thankfully, in my community we DO watch out for the neighbors. Don't spend all day gawking at their business but we do notice strangers, strange cars and have no qualms with calling the dispatcher if something seems out of sync. You don't have to call 911 just the dispatcher.
Now see THATs when I'd be calling the cops
if they are definitely trying to turn the knob - not just jostling it when trying to leave a hanger.
They'd be long gone before the cops ever got here - sm
if they even came. Impossible to prove, too. They pretty much say, "call us if they actually break in."
(haha... years ago, when I was a kid, our across-the-street crazy neighbor went off the deep end and was walking around on his front lawn swearing and waving a rifle. He shot at our house a couple of times, even hit it. My mom called the police, and they said, "Call us back if he actually shoots someone."
How about the cops.....illegal drugs??? That should be

Call the cops on the suckerbill and THEY'LL know. I feel for you. nm

That sounds like an episode of Animal Cops! I'm glad it worked out in your favor. nm
Oh yes! Cops love it when the neighbors interfere, stand around, gawk. Makes their job
Stay inside. Ask later, if you must.
No, you are not required to do this. (see m)
However, be sure to deduct the portion of your electric bill, heating bill, et cetera that apply to the square footage of your office. These will not trigger any depreciation reclamation on sale.
The only way you get into trouble on selling the home is if you have deducted a portion of the mortgage payment as a business expense. That's the only time depreciation would enter the equation. Stay away from that and you will have no problems.
IC not required
Also not required if hiring an IC. You can get your own private disability insurance. Some business insurance will also cover this for sole proprietorships.
I am required to have one. sm
The county that I live in requires me to have a business license since I am an IC and considered self-employed. Doesn't cost much and is tax deductible.

Yes it is required
Believe me or don't. I really do not care. I didn't post here to be burned at the stake. I was asking for opinions and I am sorry that I did. I cannot change doctors as our insurance states where we must go and we have few choices.
No notice required
Since you are still in the learning the job stage just inform them that you are resigning effective immediately. Usually the first 90 days are a trial with employee and employer and no one should take offense. They could let you go with no reason either.
ALL dictators should be required to take a
dictation class taught by an experienced MT. This would surely help this problem.
Exp. not required, but recommended.
Actually, AAMT has restructured the CMT exam, and MTs are no longer required to have 2 years of experience to sit for the exam. However, they strongly recommended to have at least 2 years of experience in the acute arena.
Check out the AAMT web site - they are working on a new certification exam that is geared more towards those new to the field and new graduates. I believe this is the RMT credential already discussed here. According to the web site, those eligible are recent graduates, MTs with less than 2 years' acute experience, and MTs working in single- or multi-specialty clinics.
Hope that helps....

Unfortunately, the license is required sm
I have never had to have one, but the clinic I am going to work for requires it. It is a lot of hassle, and I can't wait until it's over and done with :)
Are you required to keep a log sheet?
Im just wondering if this is common. I have to keep a log sheet on my current account and it is a big PITA and waste of time and money.
I'm not required to but I do and thank goodness! sm
I've received emails over the last two days from doctor's offices asking about missing reports. I had sent the reports they were missing...I just sent them again...QA said it was probably on their end...well it would have to be, because I had everything completed that I was assigned and turned in before the required time.
Lines required for FT
Hello. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how many lines companies are requiring at minimum per an 8-hour day. From a few of the ads and my last "in-house" job, it looks like they are asking for about 1200 lines a day equaling 6000 per week. Does anyone know if this is about the average? I am researching this to know what to discuss with a local physician regarding transcribing his work. Thanks to all for any information. Have a great week. L. Dickin 
Lines required for FT
Thank you for responding.
If you are required 8 hours a day on each job, and are
alternating back and forth you are not working each job 8 hours, more like 4 on each.
Required overtime
Advice needed! Boss is pushing for us to do overtime, but the last time I worked overtime I got paid LESS than a regular check!!! It all went to taxes, and the way they calculate holidays, etc. So, I told her for this reason, I don't think it's fair for me to work overtime. She said, "Too bad for you, but we are backlogged, and everyone needs to pitch in." I want to be a teamplayer, but working for "free" really gets me down. Especially when I do at least 600 extra lines every day! Please help me handle this tactfully.
A SS card has ALWAYS been required
for jobs--if nothing else, to verify it for tax purposes. Go to your local SS office and apply, have to do it in person as they require ID.
Anyone required to have bus. license...sm
to work as IC? Was going to work for company, but require I have a business name and license. Also pay per page and not per line. Never ran across this before.
The state is PA and yes it IS required here.
Breast exams are required for driver's permits now in my state. They have been for several years now.
We were required to get up once an hour for five minutes
to stretch, walk around, do hand exercises, etc. Our hospital was very much into preventing repetitive motion strain injuries. I still do it at home. I type for 45 minutes or so, then I get up, fill my beverage, throw a load of laundry in, run out to the mailbox, ride my exercise bike, whatever.
Question: How long have you been on DQS? They have required I be on
now require the DSL.
They had said the other program/platform would not work with DSL and thus required I stay on dialup.
They keep me so confused.
At my hospital, even 25+ years ago, you were required SM
to type 1100 per day. That was with NO spell check, NO expanders. Nothing. Everybody typed a lot more than that.
I think the trouble that you describe must have something to do with working on some company's lame platform. I work in Word, I make my own expanders, my own everything, and work 5 hours a day, if I have 150 minutes to do. That is about 2000-2200 lpd. It is not a problem, because I do what's fastest for ME. The people at the hospital do some kind of merge thing and put everything in their system.
Working on a platform that is designed for anything other than MT will only cost you money. They make these systems to help coding, discharge, everybody but us. I'll never, ever do it again. I'd rather work at Wendy's -- Just kidding! Just kidding! Don't get THAT started.

is giving notice required?
I'm having a debate with my husband right now.
I know when you're an employee that it's customary to gives two weeks' notice, but what about when you're an independent contractor? One of us says that two weeks notice is customary whether you're an employee or IC, but the other says that you don't have to give any notice if you're an IC. Who is right?
The loser pays for a dinner at Olive Garden.
Maybe notice is not required, but it's the right thing to do. nm

Insurance required by employee
I am reqruied to have insurance also by my contract employer - I found a great deal $89.00 a year.
They require it because someone wrote an article, which I did see, and wished I had printed fron the internet, that stated (in faver of the employeer of course), one way to prevent being sued by an independent l contractor,, is requring them to carry insurance liability. It is a definite distinction between self-employeed and employed...
What a waste.
125-150/hour minimum required usually
nm
Yeah, company required it.
It seems like eons ago, but I don't think I bought it myself....I think the company purchased them and took the $$ out of the check for them. Don't quote me on that though. I'm referring to it all the time for stuff. It is interesting though how they do change things over the years from one version to the next. Being the conspiracy theorist/anarchist that I am, I'd say this most definitely is a survival/money making tactic on the part of AAMT. It's kind of like how I feel many companies ensure you keep buying their products...they specifically design pieces parts to break or wear out.
Yup. It's required reading, as far as I'm concerned.
I see WAY too many MTs just sort of doing their own thing (usually incorrectly). Several places I've worked at require using the BOS as your guideline. I know I would if I owned my own service or were the manager of an MT department. It gives us all one common language, one standard.

IC Workers Comp Ins. Required?
thought i posted this earlier, cant find it, sorry if its redundant. Im an IC, have been for 8+ years with the same company in MASS. I live in WV. I was contacted last week and was told that the company had been audited and all IC's were required to have Workers Comp insurance. the policy costs $655 a year. anyone have this same requirement? I have other insurance, Aetna major medical, additional accidental death and dismemberment, long-term disability through my husband's employer, AEP. So, is it necessary for me to carry comp ins?
Must depend on the state. I am not required

NO FEE REQUIRED (IMPORTANT READ)
Signing the petition and getting e-mails to Congressmen is FREE !!!! The fee would only be if you wanted letters hand delivered to the Congressmen. Please don't let the mention of a fee stop you.
I was told that I should find a job that required me to use my brain
by my own brother. He said that I should find a job that required some thinking. Hmmmmm. People just seem to assume that all we do is sit at a computer and type mindlessly all day long! :(
This is of no help, but I stopped working anyplace that required me
dc
required profiles, etc. that are unpaid. NMSG
