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 would give minimum of 2 weeks' notice
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!
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!
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...
I would suggest you give it a try and see if you like it. nm
I used to work use Express Scribe and out of all the employees (there probably was 10 or 15) only one that I knew of used the function keys. It felt awkward to me.
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.
x
nah, I'd give two to three weeks, if they found someone before 30 days, they'd let her go pron
nm
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!

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
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.
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."
I would suggest
giving them a call. I would imagine they would hire PT whether they're advertising for PT or not. I work PT but do as many or more lines than is required for FT. I know they bend over backwards for me in every respect and I doubt I'm treated any differently than their other MTs. I think you'll find them to be incredibly nice folks even AFTER you're hired!  And, believe it or not, they do know how to coordinate hiring and work flow so it's unlikely you'd ever run out of work, might be ASKED to work extra but that with more than adequate compensation IMHO.
I can suggest one
AT&T CallVantage. - You can make all LD calls (including with your dictation system) directly through your DSL line. I've never been billed more than $35/month (I think that includes taxes), and I'm on close to 10,000 minutes a month.
So how to you suggest they do it then?
Unfortunately they have to keep track of who is getting these cards and they have to make sure there is no fraud going on, so they have to make some stipulations.
I think it's a great effort regardless!
Can I suggest something?
Two lines of thinking, actually:
1) Please consult a behavior specialist. There is an underlying reason or reasons for his behavior. It's much healthier for him to find out the causes for his behavior and design a treatment plan and work for changes rather than to just cover them up by changing the environment.
2) Please consider going against what seems to be the attitude today: Everything made-to-order. What I mean is that children learn quickly what is acceptable and what isn't. If we constantly are taking our children out of normal social situations and putting them in "specialized", "personalized", "made-to-order" situations they will never learn how to cope and get along with others. They will also be robbed of the joy of learning community-mindedness. Not teaching them how to get along in life is hateful. Not easy skills to learn as a teen, as an adult.
Just my opinion. I faced behavioral problems with mine when they were young. I know how it feels. My best wishes for you.
I would suggest..
going to a psychiatrist. I also suffer from anxiety and depresson. I take a combination of Wellbutrin and Neurontin, and this seems to work very well. I have had a hard time finding any medicine that works for me. I still have episodes sometimes, but they could prescribe you Xanax for those in between momements. I don't take Xanax though, just the Neurontin for the anxiety.
What do you suggest
How much do you guys charge for a late fee when invoices aren't paid in time?
My terms are invoicing the first of each month and payment due within ten days.
I've decided to impose a late fee since I'm having a horrible time getting paid. What do you recommend? Thanks.
Thanks! What do you suggest then?
I would suggest
investing in the Stedman's Medical Terms and Phrases book. It is kind of spendy, but it sure is a nice comprehensive reference book. Definately worth it..
oh, i was going to suggest
carboplatin and Paclitaxel...?
May I suggest
Shortkeys2? That's the program I have at my office (I do transcription for a major medical institution) and at home (home transcription on the side). It works with most programs and platforms. I've only had one or two programs so far that it wasn't compatible (AOL and GMAIL).
I would suggest
If at all possible, I would suggest you get a job working in-house, so that you can get paid by the hour. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I first started out, I don't know how many lines I typed per hour, but I worked 8 to 2, and I only transcribed about 18 to 25 reports a day. My speed and comprehension built up slowly and it helped greatly having co-workers to help me. I feel that the MTSO will take advantage of you in several ways and believe you will probably not make a decent living in the beginning. You have to learn the system you are working on, the physician's style of dictaton, etc.
I'd suggest...(sm)
...using "AA (Photography)" or "AA (Media Arts)" in order to show the relevance of the degree.
May I suggest --sm
Shorthand V10 as an expander? It works just like autotext, which is exactly what I was looking for when I wanted an expander. It works with almost all platforms, and has a free 30 day trial. There is also an option for paying at the end of the 30 days. To receive all upgrades, I chose to pay once a year, at 29.99! It is the best Expander I have ever used and for the price, it's a steal! good luck.
and i would suggest
Your response does not surprise me. I would suggest you read between the lines in the entire thread that I wrote. I did not CALL FOR anything. I was simply making an observation and throwing some thought out there. As far as my spelling of HIPAA...... I am not an MT, nor a typist, nor grammar specialist. I am, however, a very very successful consultant in many areas. My expertise has afforded me very nice wealth. How about you?????
Get ready for changes.....sm
lots of them and very quickly IF this is what is happening. Six Sigma management tends to cut the fat and thin the herd by "survival of the fittest." In other words, expect it to be harder to achieve a high quality score, incentive bonuses, quality bonuses, etc., because they will up the ante with respect to that At least that was my experience with Edix...and no, I'm not a sloppy MT barking about sour grapes. That's just the way it was.
ready or not
If new Career Step grads are not ready to work, why are so many of them getting multiple job offers? Some get four or five offers within a month of graduation. In the real world, the marketplace will determine who is ready to work and who is not. Whether or not a given MT is prepared to work is between her and her employer. AAMT is sticking its nose into an area where it is neither needed nor wanted, and they would not be doing this if there were not profit in it for them. If they want to do something for us, let's see them do something to stop the offshoring of our medical records. If they were showing real leadership on this and other substantitve issues, our salaries would not be declining. We cannot trust the AAMT.
My son was almost 4 - He will do it when he is ready.

Are you ready? lol...sm

I know that I am in no way ready to do this on my own. Others have said I should cut out the sm
middle man and get my own accounts. I know that I am not qualified to do that right now. I just graduated two months ago! I want to get at least 2-3 years experience under someone else before I go out looking for my own accounts. I'm not ready to be responsible for everything yet. Maybe I'm a minority, or don't have enough confidence in myself, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. 
I am ready.
I haven't done it yet, but I do have everything I need to work loaded on my laptop in case I need to evacuate for a hurricane. Just grab the laptop, foot pedal, keyboard and go.
Ready set go.
Association of United States Medical Transcriptionists (AUSMT)?

But seriously, folks. Let's come up with a name (something with a snappy acronym), then a Yahoo User group & a domain name, & eventually we can come up with some kind of group statement. Let's see what evolves. Who knows? Maybe we can put a dent the Association for Healthcare Documentation in India (!).
Get ready for yours to
stay the same. Most of us here have experience and we should all have accuracy. If you have worked on the platform for some time now and nothing seems to change, just gonna have to suck it up and know what the issues are, that being too many people not changing according to what the specs are.
I would suggest only if you need benefits.
