you know, the one they use when they don't want to come right out and say you're terminal:


DON'T BUY ANY GREEN BANANAS!

Are you sure that applies to the sm
MT?  Usually a position of supervision might have that clause because you'd be privy to confidential company and account information, but as far as the MT part goes I don't see how they can dictate who and how many companies you can work for.
And this applies not only
to the comments on this forum, but also to the advertising tactics of MT schools.
I agree with you, but I don't know that it applies to OP. (sm)
some people actually get back thousands when only paying in a few hundred and keep having kids.  The more kids, the better the benefits.  Must repeat, I don't think scenario applies to OP of this thread, tho.
This law only applies to mass

Thank you! This applies to all companies

I am tired of seeing postings or ads that say IC but want you to work a certain shift.


As far as asking for extra coverage, just tell them you will do your best.  No IC should have to adhere to a strict schedule or provide extra coverage on weekends or nights unless the said company would like to offer an incentive. 


Some say this job is 24/7, and while I agree, that does not equate to abuse of an IC!!!! 


Depends on # of employees if it applies. Also
Statutory employee is not the same as an employee. Statutory is basically an IC... no overtime at all.

Yes, I was speechless when I saw that ad. If anyone applies to that job, they should have their head
examined. Companies like that are the reason we cant make a good living or even decent one at this point. That is a disgrace!!!
Yes, that applies to me too, but things are more complex than
juar
No way will recruiter know who applies and who posts.

I'm wondering why anyone applies there when it's well known Toth
.
Nope. Only applies to less than 50 if the number is 33% or more of
I had to study this law very extensively for certification.
Minimum wage only applies to employees.

Always cpl times total lines, unless a bonus applies

Once you are totally off training and being paid only by your line rate (cpl), your pay will be based on your two week, total lines typed  (cpl x total lines typed).  The only time lines per hour would affect you is if you qualify for a bonus.  I do not know what MT Level you are (3 or 4), but I believe Level 4 bonus starts after 150 lines per hour.  If you qualify, don't try to figure the bonus out.  It will drive you crazy.  Just be happy to see a bonus in your check! 


I say you need to do away with everything in your sentence after
the word UP. These companies know it is hard work and you don't save any time if you are an MT and they are selling it to the MTs like their job is just to fix the transcription. IF ONLY that were true. In many cases you have to take out the entire transcription and retype it. The companies know this unless they did not test it first. The poor MTs or editors do not know thisSad
LOL at your last sentence. nm

that was said in just about every sentence, to those
nm
Your first sentence says it all.sm

Most likely, both  The bottom line with this UNDER 40 HOURS paranoia seems to be that, with the combination of no-money VR and straight dictation that is virtually impossible to understand, the MTSOs know that to reach their required daily/weekly line counts that we have to work over 40 hours a week to do so - no way around it. 


Therein lies their dilemma:  They know we have to work twice the hours to make our lines, but they can't acknowledge it without getting into deep doodoo.  They're handing us a double-edged sword. 


Battering is a choice. (Domestic violence applies to many things)
May I suggest counseling? I mean that in a kind way. BTW: If you don't understand let me explain: Battering is a choice is same as Sucking up is a choice. Wondering if you were married if you sucked up to him as well... and don't get me started on misquoting Scripture either. God never forces us to suck anything up. We are supposed to be like Him. He will, however, let us choose to suck it up or choose to be battered, and that is where we end up in Hades.
So, by your philosophy, suck it up, accept the battering and you will always have a job. Okay, so you will always be under domestic violence. Your choice. Not mine. Wish you all the luck in the world with your sucking it up choose the battering. Maybe someday as I said a counseling session might help. Or not. Your choice.

LOL well I screwed up that sentence but you know what I mean nm

With regard to your last sentence (sm)
I bet I can guess who is the scammer and who you are working for now.  You are right on both counts - 
sentence structure? perhaps
nm
Finish sentence below
So, if you did 100% ESLs yourself the past 5 days let me know and I will gladly retract the statement. If you did not then why did you not help, and get over having to do the easier work? Just tell me that you helped out with the tough ones and I will retract and assume that there are more ESLs here than I was told.
Also, I will GET OVER IT when I am actually assigned the WORK TYPE I was hired for. What was that you said... GET OVER HAVING TO DO WHAT YOU WERE NOT HIRED FOR? Oh yeah, I forgot Bait and switch is the norm these days. IMHO.
please correct your sentence above

Spaces after sentence
I don't work there but am considering applying, so I called and asked them about this. Jason said a QA person told him to check the settings in Word & make sure that the problem is not there.
That's an impressively long sentence!
nm
Or the ones who dictate a whole sentence while yawning!

2 spaces between sentence; add headings when possible;

Doctors would be okay if you corrected your sentence LOL

Commas aren't put in a sentence just for sm
the fun of it. They're there to clarify meaning. A misplaced comma can change the whole intended meaning of the sentence.

Remember, too, you should be following client specs, right or wrong, over BOS. When there are no client preferences, BOS rules. You must do it the client's way as they're the ones paying for your services.

If you truly think it's a personality clash with the QA person, then go over his/her head. Some QA people have no right QA-ing.

One time years ago I was marked wrong for Groshong catheter because the QA person had never heard of it. (She was the owner's relative and did not have that position for very long!)

I hope this problem resolves for you soon. Keep a cool head and try to work things out in a professional, gracious way. Professionalism carries a lot of weight.

Correction to last sentence of my post...sm
It should have read:

Doing so makes you as unethical as the accusations being made.
Should be too! Went to continue the sentence and didn't.
I hate when I am rushing and can't correct my mistake fast enough before I hit the send button! LOL
sorry "most" of the time - dropped my sentence. nm
nm
PS: In fact, read the 1st sentence, last paragraph: sm
It says that is my take on everything. It wasn't meant to be viewed as carved in stone.
Maybe you should learn to read - like the entire sentence!
nm
Meant employee and not employers in the second sentence

Hey Princess, you never start a sentence with the word "but"

I agree. You still have to know punctuation, proper English, tenses, sentence structure, etc. Show

for MQ STAT employees tier rate applies to ME rate as well and how calcluated?
for a STAT MQ employee:  Does anyone know if the tier rate is going to be applied to the ME rate as well or are they going to go with the 80% of the MT rate for each tier level?  If the tier rate doesn't apply as well to the ME rate then going by the 80% of the MT rate is less than if the tier rate would be applied.  I'm sure that MQ is going to go by whatever keeps money in their pockets.  Guess this is a question for the supervisor tomorrow.
