If people want to work for a company which docks them for errors I could care less...

Docking for errors
 Run for the hills. I think this is absolutely terrible. Tell them to take a hike and leave.
VR/SR issues and docking pay
Just spoke with my MT friend at our local radiology group that uses a combination of speech recognition and EMR. She tells me that one of the on-call MTs who also works at the local hospital (which uses escription) has instituted a minimum requirement of minutes to complete during their shift and if they don't meet it, their pay gets docked. The problem, my friend tells me, is that with repairing a speech recognized document, after it has been supposedly edited by an MT and sent for signature and signed, when you must fix a problem after the fact, it takes a lot longer. So what the MTs at the hospital are doing, in order to not get their pay docked, is rushing through the editing process and missing things. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Or the companies that institute docking pay.
Seems to me they have a part in this whole scenario too, which is what I think the original post was about before it got turned to the MTs. Aren't they risking quality for the sake of the almighty dollar?
Docking pay for errors is totally ridiculous!
With the way these doctors dictate (and some of them are really horrible), MTs don't deserve getting docked for errors. By docking for errors, you're forcing MTs to try and guess at things, which is much, much worse than leaving a blank. I'd never work for any company who docks pay for errors - NEVER. It's got to be the most absurd thing I've ever heard of in my life!!

You can plug in a USB keyboard into a laptop or use a docking station.
