more or less stating that you are happy with the company, but due to personal reasons you need to leave.  I have equpment that needs to be returned and I would prefer the company not try to keep me or bombard me with e-mails/phone calls about what the personal reason is and/or how long I need to be gone - that they will hold my position for me when I come back.  I just want to leave for personal reasons - no questions asked.  Thanks.

I think presenting a letter addressed to him and/or the office manager to submit to him is very
appropriate. That is exactly how I presented it as I was having a hard time thinking how to say and what to say. It was much easier to "plead my case" on paper. Go for it.
You should get written notification in the mail,
followed by a certified letter, followed by formal notice from the sheriff or a process server.  There are things you can do to prevent foreclosure, depending on your situation.  I found out that my mortgage holder had a special program in place for hardship cases where they refinanced the loan to bring it current and reduced the interest rate.  Mortgage lenders can also defer payments.  There are grant programs available in some cities or counties where they'll pay your house payment for you.  Other programs include no interest second mortgage loans to catch you current.  If you wind up going bankrupt, you don't have to include your house in the bankruptcy, but you do have to have it brought current in six months or something like that.  Banks don't want your home or car.  They want their money.  The thing is that if they sell your house or car for a reduced price, you're still liable for the balance owed plus legal fees unless you bankrupt.
Tu. Interested in mail notification only.

Please forward the Paypal notification to me and I will check into it.

If it's a business letter you use a colon. if it's a personal letter you use a comma. nm

We did not submit that ad
We at AccuStat Carolinas did not place or approve that ad that was run above. It was placed by an MT trying to outsource some work in the US under AccuStat. We are sorry for any confusion!!
No need to submit anything for payroll if you are SE.
The platform keeps track of your lines and dates worked. As an SE, you choose your own hours and they expect you to work them, but actual time does not need to be submitted. They, of course, would prefer you also send in a time sheet, but cannot require it.
Since you are an IC, don't you submit an invoice that...SM
your client should pay you from?  If that isn't how you're doing it, then you are an employee NOT an IC.  You are at the mercy of the MTSO.
They won't take out taxes. Did you submit a tax form? nt
 
SE's do not have to submit time sheets.
xx
Don't have to submit to background check, BUT

Sure, you can refuse a background check, but you won't get the job offer, either.  Rights or no rights, the employer still holds all the cards on this one.


Proper way to submit resignation?
How much information does one have to include in a resignation? Just the date effective? Do you need to give the reasons in the resignation?  TIA!
submit invoice monthly, get ck

Submit/save button

Hello out there all you knowledgable techie MTs.


My submit/save button is not working and I need any (easy) suggestions!


All suggestions appreciated as I am at a loss, having tried everything I know.


Thanks very much!


Try monsterjobs.com or careerbuilder.com and submit your resume. nm

I submit an invoice, they mail me a check. - nm

I saw a job posting today that wants the applicant to submit....

a bid per line.  Have any of you ever heard of that?  Would you have any advice as to how to bid for the job with having almost nine years of experience in orthopedics?  I have been paid various line counts over the years, all with different formulas.....any suggestions?


TIA


Submit invoice; get check. Won't give bank account
.
Just return the work, submit your bill, the scurry and find more work elsewhere. sm
They will never meet with you before next week. It is Thursday, already. Be prepared to sue for payment, because you will probably need to. But, most of all, find other work elsewhere, because I have a feeling this final payment will be a long time coming.
If you submit your reports on time and correctly, you get paid correctly. Pay has been on sm
time for 2 years now. 1st and 15th for employees, 2nd and 16th for ICs. If it falls on a weekend or holiday, it posts the next business day.

By the way, there is no Sophie on radiology at Keystrokes. Must be a troll.
What letter
Did only certain offices get a letter. I work in the southeast and have not received a letter.
No letter here either (sm)
I am a SE, were these mailed to employees and SEs?

Also, have a question. Signed up for Qnet - activated I-mail account, on the Q-net I don't get any memos or even show an icon or heading to click on. Can someone enlighten me. I know I can call 1800dictate, just thought I would do better asking here.

TIA
Letter
Is the letter you are talking about the one talking about preserving documents and telling us not to throw anything away,  or is this a different letter?   
Here's the letter...
medquist has always prided itself in doing business ethically. As part of our
continuing efforts to ensure that we maintain very high standards, we have
enrolled you and many of your associates in an Internet-based Ethics training

Transcription Operations Hourly/Production Employees (Medical Transcriptionists,
Quality Assurance, Quality Control, Customer Service Representatives, Clerical)
should schedule time in advance to take their Ethics Training with their
Supervisor. All hourly/production employees will be paid for the time spent
taking the Ethics Training, which is expected to take 45 minutes. MT employees
will be paid the equivalent of their "benefit rate" for the time spent
completing the training, up to a maximum of one hour.

To begin the training, click the link at the bottom of this e-mail. Please write
down and keep your User ID/Access Code, also found at the bottom of this e-mail,
since you will need it to enter the training. If you need any technical

The course will take you about 45 minutes. It is important that you finish this
course within the next several weeks. Please contact the human resources or
legal department if you have any questions about this or any other compliance
issues.

Thank you and enjoy the training.


About letter -- don't have it -- was that
the ENTIRE contents of the letter?  What else did it say, please?
rec'd letter
yes i rec'd the same letter as the posts below. they are paying 2 different rates; the rate you are currently rec'g for typing will remain the same, the ASR or edited reports will be paid at 20% less than your current typed rate
MQ LETTER
The letter also states that in a few weeks we will get information about a new MT/ME Rewards Plan that will go into effect in early 2006. Why don't they just tell us what it is now. Is this supposed to be a dangling carrot strategy. It had better be a big carrot. Oh well, it's probably not anything that will improve our checks, just theirs.
Letter from MQ
Yes, would you PLEASE post the letter you received from MQ? I have to drive 8 miles one way into town to get my mail and with the gas prices, I only plan on doing that once a week. I would like to know what that letter said as well.
letter
I got mine today, and I am really upset. My production has gone down or stayed the same since doing ASR reports. I have to practically retype the entire report. I often delete everything and type from scratch. I'm gonna quit. If I decline ASR reports, they will give me a really crappy acount, I just know it. My base rate was 0.875 (after 9 years with no raise excempt when I made CMT) and now it will be 0.700. That is so pathetic. I'm finished with these greedy Bastards!
MQ Letter
I got my letter last fri, my last name is at the front of the alphabet.  My base rate is being reduced by 0.175 cpl for ASR reports.  So now on top of my already reduced pay when starting DQS, it will be reduced further.  I figure I will lose about $200-250 per month.  I am going to reply to the corporate heads who sent the letter, and give them my 2 cents. I challenge all MQ MTs to reply to the letter and give your input on their unfair pratices.  I will soon be an ex-MQ'r.  I won't allow them to reduce my pay once again.  I don't make 25% more in production on ASR reports.  I have to re-type almost the entire report except for the occasional dictator, where I only proofread and make minimal changes.  I had a contract once upon a time that stated what my pay would be.  I never gave anybody permission to change that.  Isn't this illegal?  I am going to get legal advice and see what my options are.  I am not going to take this lying down.  I'm tired of being kicked around.  Thanks CM for enlightening me about the F9 feature, what an eye-opener.  Now I have proof that they are cheating us out of our pay.
ANOTHER MQ letter,

this one about new pay plan............ "Pay rates based upon experience, skill, and work difficulty" is the first 'highlight'....... I have been asking for a raise since MAY and I am level 3 typist, highest level MQ has....  Supposed to be contacted personaly by someone in the future.  Hmmmmm, wonder what they will offer. 


will I get a letter?? probably not
Well, I have 36 years experience and can transcribe anything..gee, wonder if they will contact me..They cut back my pay when I went to DQS by one half penny..Mmmm..hope I get that letter..Sure havent gotten the letter for DQS line count discrepancy and a check for that..
One more letter
A lot of good that CMT classification did for you. You would think the company, which claims to be short on able-bodied transcriptionists, and with all the new technology they are developing to make our job easier, that they would want to increase our pay to do ASR reports. Totally makes no sense. I sense a massive exodus.
Letter
That's the way I understood it also.
I got the same letter from SBC (which is AT&T LD)

using onesuite.com.  I called when I got their letter and canceled my LD immediately.  LD is only 2.5 cents a minute at onesuite.com.  You have to pay in advance and then you dial an access number and then the number you want to reach.  I liked unlimited better because I could dial direct, but for now I guess I'll use onesuite.


I got the same letter. sm

last year from SBC so I switched to MCI.  I was completely honest with MCI and told them what I needed it for becuase I did not want them coming back at me telling me I was not using it according to their guidelines.  MCI is expensive though.  By the time you pay for taxes and everything else my bill is around $80.  I wish I could find a job that is totally internet based.  I started to check into Vonage but I could not understand how that worked when they kept telling me I had to pick a phone number or a different area code than the one I have and you can't speak to someone who speaks good English to get an accurate explanation.  I also would like to know what everyone else does or how they get away with it.  I wish the hospital that I work for through the company that I work for would have a 1-800 number for the transcription.  I would even be willing to pay my employer a $10 long distance fee or something just so I do not have to pay out $80 every month. 


need letter help
Okay, it's been a long time since business english 101, can anyone tell me where "return receipt requested" goes on the body of the letter, and isn't it in all caps? I am thinking it goes just below the address to whom the letter is being addressed, but just not positive about it. Thank you!!!
SPi letter
Yes, I got the letter this weekend. Disturbing sign of the times.
First letter only!
Thats how I have always done SOAP notes.
MQ lawsuit letter
Yes, I received the letter yesterday.  Sounded like this investigation is going to take quite some time if they have to subpoena transcriptionist's records.  I just threw it in the round file  :)
why it will be good for MTs. you can see from letter below from CEO

the impact the lawsuit has had simply to start change within the MQ organization. 


Here's pertinent part of letter that shows changes coming.




From Frank Lavelle, President


To all statutory medical transcriptionists


July 14, 2005



VIA Electronic and U.S. Mail



Dear Statutory Medical Transcriptionists:



We would like to thank you for your continued service and support. We know that the key to our success is the people who work so hard for our customers everyday.



At MedQuist, we are determined to become the medical transcription provider of choice for statutory employees. Over the past several months, with your help and input, we have been working on developing a pay plan and comprehensive benefit program that will enable us to set the standard in the industry. We recently announced significant changes to our benefits program for full time employee transcriptionists and within the next few months, MedQuist will be announcing a new pay plan that will address the feedback we received from medical transcriptionists in response to our survey on pay issues.



As you may also know, MedQuist is currently responding to a lawsuit brought by three medical transcriptionists that was filed in response to certain publicity surrounding MedQuist's billing practices involving the AAMT billing unit of measure. MedQuist takes all allegations concerning its pay practices very seriously and will seek to address any concerns raised by the lawsuit. While we believe that the claims raised by the three transcriptionists appear to lack merit, we are diligently working on addressing this matter in order to best serve all of our valued medical transcriptionists.



To enable us to fully and appropriately respond to this, as well as other lawsuits currently pending against the company and governmental investigations, our lawyers from Winston & Strawn are required to collect documents. To ensure that you are completely informed about the materials they are seeking, we have attached a memorandum below regarding MedQuist's document retention and collections policy. Please review this document as soon as possible.



Once again, we would like to express our deep appreciation for your continued patience, cooperation and service to the company.
















Very truly yours,


Frank Lavelle


President

introductory letter

Kkay, what exactly do you include in your introductory letter?  Have the business cards already. 


Thanks a mil!


 


Maybe just a letter that tells her how much you
appreciate her and everything she's done for you, how much you love her, et cetera.  I would much rather have something like that from my children than a gift. Gifts are nice, too, but sometimes something from the heart just means so much more.
Haven't gotten the letter yet
 MQ is run by a bunch of jerks.
letter in mail
I got a letter in the mail from MQ headquarters today
"The Letter"
I got my "letter" from MQ today, and immediately called my supervisor to tell him that once that goes into effect I will no longer to ASR..........  hopefully everyone will do this (or at least the majority) and MQ will hear us ?? 
New pay plan letter ? Can you tell us what was in it? (sm)
I am an SE and I think they mail this info out alphabetically or maybe to employees first. My friend usually gets her info 4-5 days before me. Her last name starts with a C and mine an M.

Congrats on the $400.
new pay plan letter
They are going to reduce your base pay for ASR reports, if you type them aka speech recognition. Your base pay will be reduced by 20% for ASR reports. I just added it up and it makes a huge difference to the tune of hundreds of dollars a month if you type a lot of ASR, like I do.
I got the same letter today...
What? I didn't glean any new info from it.  Just that someone would contact regarding the new pay plan or something like that.  It is a very general letter, not a personal letter...what's all the excitment about???
no letter or memo to me yet
I havent gotten any letter..or memo..anyway, I would think of course they would keep SE's or offer the SE's FT positions.  However, I dont think they would do away with SE's as they dont have to pay for insurance of anything with SE's. 
Indeed it does, as the letter clearly states
it was a DEP error
