In Reply to: IC. How much notice to give? - MT
and would not want to burn any bridges so would let them know I would be willing to work a little after that if they got in a pinch but would not take the usual amount and only in an emergency type situation. Have been in this biz long enough not to burn any bridges and keep all contacts if possible - you NEVER EVER know when you might need work again. Good luck!

No reasons. Give 2 weeks notice.
They will probably let you go immediately anyway.
Never give anyone more information than is absolutely required in any situation. You owe them no explanation, either legally or morally.
I think you should behave professionally and give 2 weeks notice. sm
I just think it is tacky to not give notice even though you feel they have been worse than tacky to you. Professional behavior makes you look good and feel good. Feel free to flame me to a crisp!
You can give 2 weeks notice, but be ready to leave right then if they suggest it.
Good luck to you!
Once you give notice and quit working, how many days/weeks/months
are you covered by your medical/dental insurance? My employee handbook does not mention this. Is there a "standard" period of time that you remain covered? TIA for your reply.
No one ever gave me 2 weeks notice when I was let go
so why do we owe anyone this courtesy?
I've always given 2 weeks notice
and worked until that 2 weeks was completed. Never was dumped. I don't like to burn bridges just in case I might need them again one day!
Always OFFER 2 weeks notice if at all possible
I recently gave my 2 weeks' notice at the national I'd been with for a couple of years. In my letter I simply stated that because of recently being moved to a new account, I could not afford to work due to having to absorb 100% of the learning curve expense, as my paycheck was cut by almost 50% due to learning a new account/new specialty. I expected them to give me the option of leaving immediately, so I had another job lined up. However, they called and asked what they could do to make me change my mind. I thought about and called back the next day and let them know what I'd would work for me, and I'm happy to say that I'm still there and very happy. I had a new job lined up and had even started before I gave my notice, though, as I always like to get my ducks all in a row before I start shooting. : )
Good luck with your decision. I know how hard it can be.
Does the first company require 2 weeks notice?
If yes and they opted to waive it in your case, they should pay you for the two weeks. You were only following their rules. Good luck.
If this was posted at the beginning of th year, it has taken 3 weeks for anyone to notice. nm

I gave two weeks notice... but stopped doing their work FIRST
Since they refused to give me a raise after 7 years of loyal service to 3 doctors full-time, i gave me 2 weeks but didn't do their work in my 24-hour TAT window because I was SO p*ssed. I got it done "on my time" at that point. I have a hot head i can't help it... plus it was a huge slap in the face when not only they weren't giving me a raise, they expected my paychecks to decrease because they were mad they were paying for templates! we seriously were like a little family... that was three months ago and im STILL hurt about it...
2 days, minimum. Call immediately or give it up.

Do they give you notice
Do you think they would give you notice if they decide to ship your work overseas, or give you notice that they are going to hire more MTs to take your work away from you. NEED I REALLY SAY MORE.
IC. How much notice to give?
There is no contract besides on saying to say for six months. I have been there for almost 1 1/2 years. If I wanted to give notice, what is usual for doing so? Is it 1 week, 2 weeks....
Thanks!
Does it pay to give notice?
Please allow me to vent here. I was the lead on 2 accounts at one of the nationals that is spoken of highly on this board. I gave my notice. I also agreed to train 3 people on both of my accounts before I left. I got very few lines my last week because I was busy training, answering questions, filling in blanks, etc. The company thanked me when I left and told me they would reimburse me for the training I provided. I sent an email to the head of transcription and told her how many hours I spent training.
Well, I just got my last paycheck for my last week of work. I did not do many lines that last week because I was busy training people. There was no training time on my final paycheck, and the total net check was $67.
Does it pay to be professional and help the company out as you are leaving - I tihnk not!! While the door is always open to this company, I will never go back after this slap in the face. I should have just walked off the job for all the thanks I got.
You give your notice TODAY ... OR ...
you just pack up the computer TODAY, call your supervisor TODAY and tell her you quit TODAY.
That is how you get out of this "screwy place".
It's not rocket science, ya know!
You should always give at least two week's notice!!
explain to them that this "is not your cup of tea". If you're looking for another job, they may tell you you don't have to work two more weeks. I once gave a four week's notice because I KNEW it would be a huge strain on the small company I worked for. Good luck!!
ICs, how much notice do you give for vacation
If you are an IC for an MTSO, how much notice do you give for personal days, vacation days, etc.? This is not stated in my contract with my MTSO, and I do not think that the owner is extremely particular about these kinds of things, but I do want to be courteous. What is the standard? Thank you.
There are actually people who don't believe you have to give any kind of notice. sm
But if you want the contract renewed or you want continued employment, common decency is called for.
The minute you give notice, the nationals usually sm
dump you on the spot. Consider how long you want to keep the job, then tell them then, last minute.
Yeppers, it is polite if they do give you notice...
but it not legally required unless you have it contained in a contract somewhere.
Just give the customary 2 week notice.

nah, I'd give two to three weeks, if they found someone before 30 days, they'd let her go pron

Accepted a job with a new company, gave two weeks notice to my old company..
Old company, let me go before two weeks was up. New company, said they were having trouble getting me set up and my equipment ready, but they would pay me while I waited. It's been a month, still no check from new company even though I was told it was "in the mail." I have no income and am at a loss.
I have a signed offer letter from the new company, contracts, etc. I applied for unemployment, but old company is saying I quit and technically I am currently employed with the new company! New company is not returning calls or answering email.
What should I do!?!?!?!
I started sending my resume out today, but the process of getting a new job will take at least two weeks and I need money now to catch up on what I'm behind!
Give them a week's written notice...I'll be leaving xx/xx, please forward final check to . t
why would you have to say anything else?
Give notice face to face and (sm)
briefly explain the circumstances. In the same conversation ask if it's ok to use the company as a reference and possibly provide a "To Whom It May Concern" letter of recommendation. Then follow up with a brief letter. A good reference goes a long way, even as an IC!

oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.
there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
Don't know if you can get 400 lpd. Minimum at

Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to
do what is right. If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child. "you suck" That is so immature.
She is responding to you and you are eating her alive. Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it.
I am really astonished at how people can act on here. Would you treat people like this in person? If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends.
Remember we are all "HUMAN."
minimum wage is Fed
I know some cities/counties and I guess states have their minimum wage requirement to allow a business to operate. I know some cities in NJ (where I live now) won't allow a business to operate unless they pay minimum around $9/hour. But minimum wage is a Federal standard and is set at $6.XX an hour - that is for all 52 states.
And it is illegal for anyone to pay less. Actually, I found out that if you are working for someone on a production basis and it comes out to less than Fed. min. wage, you can actually file a complaint and recoup wages.
Minimum wage in NY now $6.75 hr - sm

At least minimum wage
I worked inhouse for a company. We did not have to be there at any certain time, but we did clock in and out to show how many hours we were there. This was, as the other poster said, to make sure we made at least minimum wage. Also, they figured this by the pay period, not by the day.
Not around here you can't. Minimum wage. sm
I live in the midwest in a rural community. Wages are lower.
LOL no it's not, it's because of the alernative minimum tax

IC and minimum wage
I have read on the forum where an IC should make minimum wage. Is this no matter what her line count pay equals? I am new to being an IC and have just accepted a position with a service. Is this true with every service? Do they have to pay you minimum wage? Also, if the service is not in the state where you live does this make a difference? I just figured you were paid for what you produced.
minimum wage
7.00 an hour would only require you to type about 90 lines an hour. Let's say minimum wage is $10 an hour, that would only be 130 lines an hour - I do that in 15 minutes even with my ESL doctors... I say if you are only making minimum wage, this is probably not the field for you to be in.
Less than minimum wage
AND a bad platform, and you are staying? There are jobs out there for way better pay, but you have to start looking! With your four years experience, definitely do not settle for 7 cpl!
I have months when I clear $1500 and I have months when I clear $2000....the difference is ME. Over the past 8 years I have learned to work smarter, more efficiently, and that it is a necessity to have the tools to work with. What good is it if I become an expert swimmer but I'm stuck in a bathtub? If my company's platform would not let me do better, then I'd be testing for other jobs. You are the only one who can do a thing about your income situation.
minimum wage
Walmart pays minimum wage with infinitesimal increases over time. Work schedules are constantly changed to keep the employees off balance. The work is extremely exhausting and at least in our local area, they have a very hard time attracting employees, so there are some real tough scary characters working there. Across the street at Target, it's a different story. Employees are well-groomed, happy, and eager to help the customers. The stores are always immaculate, and you never have to negotiate around towering stacks of boxed unshelved merchandise like at Walmart, which has turned into a filthy mess most of the time. Considering that Target's pay scale is not much more than minimum wage, we can assume that there are cultural differences in that company that provide a better quality of life for their employees. If you have a choice in your local area, go for Target.
I keep my IMing to a minimum while sm
I'm working. I have in the past had the neediest people constantly pestering me with questions, I would say 40 or 50 questions a day from a few of them. No more of that.
Legally they cannot pay below minimum
wage. Anyone making below that should check with their state government and make sure that if they do not make minimum wage that this is rectified. Even at the Q, they have to make up the difference to minimum wage.
How much is it? answer is less than minimum wage.
You don't wanna go there. Why would you take minimum wage to
work with the public all day at minimum wage or maybe a little more than minimum wage, leave your family for hours and hours at a time, and use basically none of the skills that you obviously have as an MT.
I find it a bit offensive that you would compare working at Burger King as being a better career than being an MT. I, for one, have worked long and hard on becoming an MT and am learning something new every single day.
Sounds like you need to work for a company who appreciates you and will pay you well. They are out there. You just need to look.
My minimum is around 1200/day which isn't that hard to get. -nm

Minimum line production?
What is the standard for minimum line production for most outsourcing vendors?
Minimum wage for down time? sm
Was wondering if anyone has any information about being compensated for downtime - specifically how the department of labor views the complete lack of compensation from these companies? How do they get away with expecting you to work a set schedule, logging in, and then just sitting there? I don't know of any other job - employee status - where this would be tolerated. And, this "flex" thing...how many of us can continually log in throughout the day, on a whim? Many of us work 2 jobs, have kids, other obligations, etc. Wondering what my fellow MTs have to say about fair compensation and what they have found out? I think running out of work weekly, if not daily, and then having to work crazy hours just to get some minimum lines in is not only nuts, it could be in violation of some laws here. I think we are at least owed minimum wage if there is no work. Any opinions? I am going to research this.
Definitely at home if you can transcribe a minimum of 150 LPH. sm
That is usually the bare minimum for nationals. Ask about the national's incentive plan. Is it tiered? The more you type the higher the incentive bonus? Some companies have great communication. Having worked in the corporate world in the past with a 60 mile roundtrip commute, I would never go back. But you have to be realistic. It you sign on for 35 hours a week and do not transcribe 35 hours worth of work, you could lose your benefits.
My rule of thumb is a $100 minimum
Of course, closer relatives and friends receive more, but always at least $100 for graduations, wedding gifts, etc. when someone is an acquaintance.
Most of the ads tell you this, but minimum is usually 150 lines per hour. nm
s
125-150/hour minimum required usually

Not every state's minimum wage is the same.
Ohio's is $7.00 now and some states higher than that. I don't understand why a job that requires reasonable skills would need to be paying no better than "state minimum wage".
making minimum wage
I may just be crazy here, but I do not see how anybody could possibly just make minimum wage on this job. At 8 cents a line, that would be only typing less than 75 lines an hour, and even at 5 cents a line it would be less than 130 lines an hour.
Do people really and truly sit down and type for an hour and only make 5.85 an hour?
