It varies by county in NC

Posted By: NCMT on 2006-04-07
In Reply to: Does it vary by state? usually something like 23. - jus me

I live in Randolph County, NC and the high school kids here can miss no more than 10 days of school per year before they have to start making up time. The elementary kids can miss 20. If this kid has missed that much school, the school should be contacting social services or someone to get involved. In NC parents can be held responsible and even be put in jail for their children not attending school like they are supposed to. It is truancy and it is illegal.

I worked in house up until the year 2000.  In the NE area of the US I only made 9.00 an hour.  In Florida, I made 18.00 an hour plus 8 cpl per line bonus after 2000 lines per day.
Varies. 11p-7a, 12-8a, 9p-6a, somewhere in there. nm

It varies

I have one account that uses a 60-character line (including spaces) but they only pay 8 cents a line.


I worked for another account that did 65 (with spaces) and paid 10 cents.


Depends on what the client is willing to pay and how much profit the MTSO wants to make.


varies sm.
If you are with a company over 50 employees, have been there for 1 year, you are entitled to 12 weeks unpaid FMLA leave. Maternity leave is covered for 6+ weeks (depending on delivery method, complications, etc) by short term disability. Good luck!
It varies...
Generally speaking, the standard these days is 65 characters per line including spaces.  Some choose to bill by 55 characters per line, some by gross line, some 65 characters with no spaces, some by the page, and some by the minute. 
Oregon -- really varies

11 t0 14 cpl small MTSO   12 to 18 large MTSO.  Really varies around here and also depends on whether you deliver, print, or all by digital.


 


 


It varies greatly...
Where I work the range is from 6 cpl up to almost 12 cpl so you just don't know. I guess decent is 10 or more. Anything less is not too good in my opinion especially considering I made 8 cents per GROSS line 10 years ago which would equal I don't know maybe around 11 cents per 65 character line and again that was 10 years ago. The only profession I know of where the pay continues to go down! Thanks technology! :(
Varies with the expander
As far as I know, there is no universal shortcut. Each text Expander has a hotkey that you can use to temporarily disable the program without logging out of it.
It varies. 65 is not always the # used. Some places

Varies by account

Not trying to make it completely confusing, but the BOS is a guideline and not really a hard and fast rule - at least that's what I've found.  I work PT for one company on a large clinic account and they want me to put what the doctor dictates, whether it be b.i.d., etc., or COPD or the like.  My FT job for another company has completely different guidelines - I have to expand b.i.d., a.m., etc. and expand all abbreviations unless very specifically told otherwise.


Generally, unless told otherwise I expand in the diagnosis and impression section and leave the rest verbatim.


Clear as mud, huh?


It varies. Newbies usually
start around 6 or 7, average experience around 8ish, and very experienced in everything can make anywhere from 9-11. (This would be as an employee with benes, spaces included. As an IC or without spaces, cpl would be more to make up for that.)
Time varies
I worked for a doctor like the one above, records kept for years because they were so slack and careless they'd lose their nose if not attached. The doctors in the group I am with presently, I keep the notes for 3 months out of courtesy, but they have never had to ask for one. It all depends on whether others do their job or not as to how long to keep the reports. Talk to the company/doctor you work for about how long they want you to keep records.

I don't think FEDERAL varies whereas state...sm

I think states set their own regulations but I do believe that Federal is all one set of rules/regulations.  The police might be able to tell you but I think you'd find out so much more via the internet if you know what state he is in.  I found someone in jail recently.  I put in her name and she is locked up and probably going to get the books slammed at her.  Very young nonthinking girl too. 


All states and even federales have websites.  You can type in INMATE information and then the state and all kinds of links will come up.  You can probably this way find his name at some institution and if paroled, call the institution he was paroled from and find out more details if possible.


BEST of luck on this!!!  The internet is great for finding even old friends (I found several 30+ years after being in contact).


Forgot to say the income varies according to....sm
what company they are working for.  Everybody doesn't make only 12-15 hr.  Just like any job, depended on the person and who they worked for.
It varies but make between $12 and $16 an hour - nm

I'm in Cobb County. We were originally....sm

supposed to have started Monday but so many parents beat up on the school board that they delayed it a "whopping" 2 days.  


At least our school board didn't get by with spending the $100 million on laptops for students!   It's a shame it took a judge to block them and put an end to that nonsense.   Speaking of which, I would expect that Apple will be having a huge sale on laptops soon since they've been blocked from selling the 63,000 laptops to the school system!

Westchester County work

Joanne,


Yorktown isn't that far away from you and if you don't mind being an independent contractor, Phoenix is a good place.  Nice people who will treat you right.  They pay high line rates for well experienced people on an internet platform.  They have a lot of hospitals from Orange County down throughout MH and into Conn too.  You can earn enough as an IC to afford your own health insurance.  There are also a couple of other companies on the West bank of the Hudson where you could work from home with hospitals on both sides of the river.


email me if you like.

County mental health
If she is on state or county aid she might find something available.  But I am not being mean but how can you expect to receive "free services" - would you do your work for free?   Again, unless she is on welfare or something like that or perhaps through your church you might find some help but even then you usually have to pay on a sliding scale and don't get it completely "free".  If she is suicidal or there is a chance she will do harm to self or kids, she can go to ER and they will set her up with something but again it would only be so many visits.  Does she work?  Does her husband work?  Do they have medical benefits?  Again, don't mean to sound mean or cruel but not much in this life is free as if everyone gave it away "free" how would they pay their bills.  But look through your county/state directory or go to your church and see if they can help. 
It varies as to location and what docs currently pay in your area. nm

If you know the county that he was divorced in, do a google search
for that county's public records website. Where I live, I can access the county's public records via web and lookup by last name and first name and these are free searches as they are public records. If he had any prior record of domestic violence, it will show up there.

county vet versus in-town vet. . . I have noticed(sm)
the change over the years since our vet's practice has grown tremendously.  About 20 years ago when they first opened up they had one small converted farmhouse and three doctors.  We live on the suburbs of a small city.  When this vet came into practice there were a bunch of vets in town but everyone seemed to flock to my vets because they were good, inexpensive, really cared, and not pushy about extra services.  HOWEVER, in the last year or two they've built a HUGE new building (basically a small surgicenter), added tons of support staff (at least four gals behind the counter checking people in and out versus one), each doctor has his own "assistant" that comes into the room with him now, there are computers in every exam room, the waiting room is the size of a small hospital lobby, etc., etc.  The minute the building was finished I noticed that prices on basic services (shots, special food, exams) went up.  Then came the push for the "extra" services (blood work, teeth cleaning, etc.)  I only call these services "extra" because before the new building and huge practice the only time anything extra was mentioned was when I had to take in a sick animal and then it wasn't "extra" it was necessary.  Now it seems they're pushing a lot of baseline things that they want us to "think about having done" even though the animals aren't sick.

In our county, 10 days lands you in court sm

excused or unexcused. They found the schools were failing NCLB criteria mostly on attendance. Now you have to show a judge the reason your child was absent (hospital records, etc...). Above a certain age, it is a truancy issue that the student is held responsible for. Below a certain age, the parent gets in trouble. 


They put out a very wide net in order to catch the people who simply don't feel like taking their kids to school on certain days and the families with joint custody who simply yank the kids back and forth between different schools.  Unfortunately, many people who have valid reasons for the absences are having to go prove themselves in court.

She was just told they won't even look at expunging her felony drug conviction until she has a clean record for 10 years. In the meantime, she has had to fess up in a couple of interviews and hope for compassion. She finally got a job she lives but she's always afraid what will happen if she loses it.
