I work on a particularly difficult account, and my supervisor asked me which physicians I would prefer to type and which I would not and she would allocate me only those MDs I chose to type.  Although I refused her, saying this was not fair to my fellow MTs, I am sure there are those that took her up on her offer.

My hsp brought back their work into the hsp 4 years ago because work was so bad.  The dept is growing. We are taking on local accounts. Soon they are going to have to start hiring because of explosive growth of work. We work on production from home with full benefits.  All is not lost, but I agree things look grim in the overall.

Call me a cynic, but I trust no one!  If you charge per report, it's cut and dried.  You don't have to worry how they are figuring lines and they don't have to worry how you are figuring lines.  And it will be easier for you to keep track of the number of reports you do in a day versus manually counting your lines at the end of every day.

JMO. 

the benefit of doubt in their favor, although I am not defending them in any way, shape or form.

I would think just the contrary:  Withholding or denying you work hurts them as well, since they lose payment for your work from their clients.  More importantly, witholding work from the MT highly INCREASES the likelihood that the MT will file for UE to begin with - a no-win situation for them.  First, they lose income you could be earning them from their clients if you did have more work, not to mention having to pay into part of your benefits.  

Having said that, it benefits them if you did have more work as it might relate to getting UE - more income for THEM if they give you adequate work - but mainly, it would decrease the likelihood that you'd be filing for UE in the first place. 

a simple "a" instead of "an" would only be a 0.5 error, whereas an incorrect medication or such that could directly impact patient care would be 2.0.  No errors are more than 2.0, and we do not deduct for blanks etc. 

You two have really given me some thought-provoking info.

I had no idea it was this bad.  That is a hellish training period for such a pathetic salary.  Exactly the opposite of what I've been reading.  The websites I read from truly did quote up to $40. per hour, computer equipment given to you and a growing field, not shrinking!

Yes, I do work for slave wages, but I have a mortgage to pay and student loans and I am a single woman so I have to find something.  Maybe a paper route . . .

Thanks for the info!

looking into more IRS laws.  This is VERY interesting as the company I work for does not pay my taxes but dictates hours, etc.  They also have violated HIPAA regulations and I will be inquiring as to what actions can be taken there.

Thanks for enlightening me. 

Why does anyone still work there?

I don't get it.

If you do any of the things you mentioned, you will have broken the law.  It is against federal statutes to open someone else's mail, even if it was placed in YOUR mailbox.

Whether or not you like him, he is still the President and that office should be respected. Unfortunately, your statement is reflective of the mindset and mentality of many in our country. And people have to ask why the rest of the world doesn't like us--we don't even like each other.

At the very least you should be respectful of those in positions of authority. It's modeling of appropriate behavior that our children see and emulate themselves.

When I open a file from within startstop, it wants to open windows sound recorder, and then it wants to open a file located somewhere else on my hard drive.

Sometimes it will open the file I want to listen to, and the windows sound recorder flashes on the screen a couple of times.

Is anyone having that problem? I've emailed and called startstop but no response to email and no return call from startstop tech support.

 Any info you have is greatly appreciated. I'm on version 9.8.7

Some of my stuff has been acting weird, too.  Just curious...have you tried uninstalling the Update w/ Service Pack?  Long story short, my DBF is in IT, said to uninstall the update, but when I tried it said "this update cannot be uninstalled."  Oh great!!!  Guess I should have known to have him install a Service Pack manually.  They can screw things up big-time sometimes if they're not done right. 

Anyway, ditto on the heads up folks.
