I do insurance claims work
I've been doing it for over 8 years, but unfortunately I'll be losing it to a company who's going to do it digitally (I do tapes) in July. I sort of just fell into it. I knew someone who worked there that knew I needed a part-time job. Have you thought also about just general transcription. There's a board that I frequent that has a lot of companies that do general and legal work. The good thing about a lot of these companies is they're very, very flexible. There are some that don't require any number of lines, reports, etc. If they have work they ask if you'd like it and you can say yes or you can decline. I plan on sending out a lot of resumes to these companies when I'm through in July with insurance work.
Head manager, middle manager, lower manager question
Ok, maybe someone is having this same issue as me. A couple of weeks ago I made mistake and the person on call for the weekend not there, tried to contact them. I He contacted me about this after my shift was over. Instead of stopping there, he in turn told the higher boss up on the chain and then I was contacted again by them. Does this happen in most cases- the 1 you talk with then goes higher and you get slapped on the wrists from both sides? Does 1 person calling it to your attention just not work?
I bet other insurance carriers have insurance for their employees. Why not Wal-Mart? nm

I do not know how he claims everything, but
I just know he does. He is also a great accountant that has been doing some of my family members' taxes for years as well. I trust him. He gives a guarantee he will back you if you get audited, so I cannot see him doing anything illegal.
Someone there who claims to be a
CMT and she is not either. Scary place.
Why not sue in small claims (sm)
You have a business contract with them. It's not a paycheck we are talking about. It's payment for services rendered. Are they going to send someone to your state to defend it? Probably not!
Small Claims
If you go down to the courthouse they will help you step by step. Or perhaps by now it is on line in your state. If she is an MSW or LCSW the state will have a copy of her license and you can also get her address that way. You make out the papers, at least I did, and provide the address to serve her at and they will mail them to her place of employment if that is the only address you have. But the courts are helpful, at least they were in Oregon, and showed me how to do the business as well as personal. Good luck. May I ask why she said she wasn't going to pay you? Just curious.
Small claims
You have a right to be paid for services rendered. If I were you, I'd go ahead and work until the date that you have already told them and then take them to small claims court for the amount they owe you. Of course, this is assuming that you have kept accurate records. You would need those in court. And, I'd also tell your other clients ahead of time what is going on to reassure them that you are doing this as a last resort.
Small claims does not mean anything
in Atlanta. I do not know how it is in your town but I filed 1 and told right up front it was up to me to collect, even if I won. I think it was a complete waste of my time- the fellow had no checking acct, no home in his name, nothing that I could go after.
Small Claims
Don't forget to ask for filing fees and court costs. The judge can't give them to you if you don't ask for them. And you will win.
Small claims will not help you sm
I've wasted my time with that - after you win nobody makes them pay you.
small claims SM
Don't waste your time and hope. No one makes anyone pay anything from small claims.
It claims to be used for tapes, can this be used for wav files also? nm

Small claims court
Write a final demand letter, registered, signed receipt requested and tell them that you are seeking legal action against them and will be seeing them in small claims court. Whatever state their business name is registred, go online and see who are the registered owners and their addresses, etc. and send copies of letters to all. Give then 14 days (10 working days) to respond and if they don't file in small claims court. Hopefully you have a copy or can get a copy from your back of the checks you deposited so that you can put a lein on their checking accounts when you win in court. Check on line with your state for small claims court as if they are located in another state -- I don't know if that makes a difference. But check it all out. If you can't afford an attorney -- seek legal aide in your city. Good luck.
Thank you both! I am going to file in small claims. nm

Unless local, and can pursue in small claims, then she will end up sm
spending more money that she will ever get back. Write if off. Move on. Learn from the experience.
Question regarding small claims and ex-employer.TIA
Has anybody ever filed a small claims suit against an employer that was in a different state? I need to file small claims suit for wages that are owed, but I am in a different state as the company. Does anybody know how to go about this?
I would definitely file in small claims court
against her. Not sure about the subpoena part - I do not know how that works. Believe once you file it is up to the court to notify her. You may not get your money even if you win the judgement but you can then let the credit bureaus know, etc., and eventually it will catch up with her. Best of luck and so sorry you are experiencing this!
Agree with Small Claims Court.

Wow, are you dense or what? He claims a bunch of stuff but
you have against thinking that maybe Sherri (SHE) might be telling the truth? It sounds like you have a grudge or maybe you're the guy who took over?
Small Claims Court - it's easy sm
a few years back, i worked part-time for a one-woman company who had a psych hospital account. All was great until she went through a mid-life crises, kicked her husband out, got a tattoo, changed everything about her, and then had me doing all the work... the last month i worked for her, she owed me $3,300 and refused to pay... wouldn't answer my calls or her door... so i took she and her company to small claims court... she didn't show up for that either and i was awarded the judgment via default. I filed a wage garnishment with the psych hospital and they promptly terminated her contract... so then i filed a lien against her house and 3 years later when she sold it, i got paid... I did all of this without any help from an attorney - piece o' cake...I had the sheriff's department serve her, which was like $25 or so, and then whatever filing fees, which were minimal... good luck to you!
Got pictures? If so, take 'em to small claims court!
I took my pics and the signed walk-through with me. They were smug throughout, but I won and they had to return a BUNCH of my deposit! It pays to have a rather suspicious minds these days, I guess!
You could take him to small claims to get expenses and pain and suffering.

could you at least file in you local small claims court?
where the employer is located. My local county charges $50 for serving out of state notices on small claim issues. You would stand a greater chance of obtaining a judgement as the chances of the owner coming to your state would be small. Once you get a judgement and failure to pay, you can file a lien against the company. If they ever want to buy anything on credit, it would show up and they would be denied until they paid you, then another 7 years to roll off the credit report.
Sue him in small claims court for breach of contract

I type fire claims/investigation reports
It's really easy work and pays pretty good. It's also nice to have a break from medical, but some of the reports are really sad to type. I do the work for a local fire chief that has a side business and he investigates a lot of car accidents when the car catches on fire. A lot of times there are fatalities involved, and they usually involve children too. They can get pretty gruesome when they go into detail though. I get paid by the page and most of the time I type depo summaries, which are just highlighted parts of the deposition that I type into a summarized report. I actually put an ad in the local paper for transcription work and got this account. It's only about $400/month, but I do MT part time too.
File a suit i Small Claims Court! -nm

Anyone with experience with small claims court in NJ??? I guess I am going to have to go that route
to try and get money that is owed me and to complicate things I don't live in that State. If anyone has any info to offer I would greatly appreciate it. I know times have been tough for some of us but after 9+ years I can't believe it has come to this. Thanks in advance for any help or words of wisdom you can offer.
Instant Text claims compatibility with all word-based programs
I have used it with Word, PowerScribe, ExText, and a program based on MS Office online, the name of which escapes me. Works great.
I agree. Bean-counters desperately wanting to believe the exaggerated claims for SR make them easy

manager pay
Let's just say I happen to know that the account managers make over 40,000
ask your office manager.

As a former QA manager, I've done this.
We had a different kind of weighting when I first started doing QA reviews way back in the olden days (okay, about 10 years ago). I had one MT who would score in negative numbers, then would do okay after being reviewed, then would backslide, then would do okay, ad nauseum. It was just totally bizarre. Major medical errors, would not follow account specs, would not proofread, etc. Problem was (as I've stated in other QA posts) the company I worked for would not fire ANYONE for poor quality. She's still there today, 8 years later, and I'm sure is doing a pretty sucky job. I finally gave up reviewing her as it was a waste of my time. Don't I have a horrible attitude? Such is the life of a QA manager who is not allowed to ensure quality for a company. Anyone want to know the name of the company so they know where to go for a good time?
Nah, I'm not telling. 
Go to the QA manager. Oftentimes
two QA editors will have a different opinion what is correct, especially in terms of style. It's extremely difficult to get all editors on the same page on every issue. No, it's not difficult, it's impossible. There are simply too many variables.
When I was the QA manager I finally decided to have just one Editor who provided feedback on a group of accounts and the rest did not, just because there were too many cooks in the kitchen and I didn't like to see the MTs confused over who was right.
I would not advise going to a transcription manager if there is a QA manager available. Often the transcription managers aren't aware of specifics of QA policy, and might actually give information that counters what should be done.
Just my 0.02. Good luck with this!
Who said anything about an account manager? It's for an MT, that's it. nm

Since your a former bank manager- how can I get
my credit score up? My husband and I want to buy a house with no down payment and the lender said that we need to get our credit score up 18 points to do this. How? He mentioned paying our credit cards down to almost a zero balance. What else can we do? And how fast could we do it?
My dad was a K-mart manager too...
for almost 20 years in the 70's and 80's. He has a four year degree. He is no dummy. Him being a "K-mart manager" afforded us a nice home, nice cars, and my mother was a stay-at-home mom for three kids. Managing and being responsible for a store that big is a lot harder than you think.
Hey former bank manager, what
does the "came way" mean? Is that a banking term?
When I worked at SS the QA manager
would send us e-mails with new drugs/terms. Frequently she had them spelled incorrectly. I worked at YOG for a short time too and one of the QA person sent out an e-mail making a big deal about how it the magnifying glasses were called loop and not loupe. She got lots and lots of e-mails on that one.
Invite the manager instead - NM

Was a manager a few years ago - never again - for no amt of $
nm
I checked with the manager
and she said it made my report bold! Yikes! This board has helped me so much though. There are so many knowledgeable MTs who are willing to help and give advice. I only wish I had had this when I first started many years ago!
Nice to know another ER MT who is also technically challenged! 
I am not exactly sure how our office manager
repaired them. She took the casing apart somehow and I believe she just taped the tape back to the spool to reattach it, but I am not exactly sure. Then, she had to tape the casing back together. It was very risky using it, as I didn't want the defective tape to unwind inside my machine, etc. I don't know of anyone around our area that actually repairs tapes as a service, but I think that would be the better way to go. I know if my machine detects a lot of crinkles in a tape and it starts catching in the machine, it won't play the tape as a safety measure. Our office manager is on vacation this week, and boy is she going to come back to a mess with several tapes on her desk that she will have to take the time to repair.
if he is a hospital doc the HIM manager
can make life very uncomfortable for him not just fining him for being late with dictation but suspending his privileges at the hospital until he got his dictation/charts current. Meaning he can't admit his patients, has to get someone else to do it for him. He probably is unaware idictation is being outsourced to people who couldn't care less about his problems and thought his apologies would be relayed to the MT supervisor and then to the HIM manager. Saving him money and serious nagging and threats by what could be a veritable pariah.
I had a department manager who referred to MTs as "you people", something from her past I'm sure. She used to sit in a room next to our office to see if we were talking. When the small town hospital hired me they were 3 months behind in ops. Unfortunately, she would sometimes fall asleep pretending to work on the computer in the room while she eavesdropped (to no avail we were working our butts off) and would get caught by the CEO of the hospital from time to time napping. She LOVED raking a doctor over the coals for any reason and exerting her limited power endlessly over her staff and any unsuspecting physician who found himself caught in her web. They soon learned. Our MT supervisor was our buffer from her acid temperament and constant headhunting. A very unhappy person.
How to become an MT supervisor/manager?
Just curious from anyone who knows - does this usually require a bachelor's degree and if so, which one? Also, any clue as to the pay? Thanks.
Can't image the manager cant see what a

Task manager
When it says it's still running and you aren't seeing it in task manager, go to the processes tab in task manager and see if EditScript Client Main is running. This happens to me sometimes.
Demon manager
Sounds like you need to have what we call a "sit down" with your boss and discuss your problems. Then thank her for fighting outsourcing!! The department manager I had in-house fought for me and my coworkers for a chance to go with the company they were outsouracing to....the hospital administration just wanted to can us!!!
Just keep hanging in their and have that "sit down"!!!
