but they almost take it all away with the vision. After all the trouble to get insurance in the first place, now we had to do it all over again. I only got my cards from the old insurance at the end of March!

part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience.
saving $$$
Can you just imagine the amount of money the company makes by having us work at home? It is a huge amount, and yet paying less and less - sweatshops have made a return.
Saving face
She saw the boards, was furious, trying to gain some lost ground. If you notice the dates you know it was because of the boards. Hush money.
LOVE IT!!! Saving over $150/mo!

No way should you be saving reports
You are violating the patient's confidentiality and probably it is a violation of your contract with your former employer. Really that would not reflect your quality of work, for all they know the reports were copied. Only working with a current job's dictators and their system will let them know that for sure. Get rid of all those reports you have saved ASAP.
Saving reports
Is not only unethical and a severe lack of good judgment, it is a breach of the Federal Privacy Act, the HIPAA laws and is actionable in both federal and local courts. I hope that whoever is saving reports has good legal counsel on retainer. If you do not believe me, call your own attorney or ask the legal counsel for any hospital. He or she will be able to confirm this.
Saving reports
Blackswan, not to split hairs but if you have reports with no PHI, they can be saved.
I agree that I'd make sure I was covered, but the key is making sure there's no identifiable information included in the report (birthdate, name, address, phone, etc)
Seeing how you took the saving reports SM
subject, I'm not sure you'll think this is good advice either, but here goes. I hope you plan to present yourself better in your flyer and in person than you do in the posts you made here in this thread. The posts I saw give me the picture of a down-home momma MT, not a professional businesswoman.
I don't think saving reports is
Whipping out saved reports might just show a future employer a good reason NOT to hire you. Aside from the legality of it, IF you were to do this, how representative of your work would this be anyway? This could have been QA'd work, someone elses work, etc.? I'm not saying that's the case, but just look at the logistics from a recruitor or company standpoint who is considering your employment with them. I do think though that when you hold out your saved reports you're raising red flags for any potential employer. Good luck though.
They are saving a fortune on Docuscribe (sm)
Since switching most of us have taken a deep dip in wages. A little perk to keep morale up wouldn't hurt.
Saving records is okay IF required by your

There is nothing wrong with saving reports
I thought people jumped right on ya' as well.
For example, there was one ad for a job that I remember a few months back asking the applicant to send a few reports that they've transcribed.
These people are all brainwashed.
Look at the post about the cell phone dictation??? There is nothing to say a physician cannot dictate on his cell phone in his/her car, on a plane, etc., as long as they're not using a bullhorn. Most MTSO web sites show physicians dictating on a cell phone or from anywhere;its part of the business.
Just chalk it up to the source of these posters' ignorance of this field and only working for nationals that have brainwashed them.
you could start saving these IM notes -
use them or not - protect yourself.
Thanks for saving me from posting that SAME sentiment!
I agree 100%! I love TT, I love my account (which is VR, by the way), and a greater group of folks I've never worked for. Talk about counterproductive to get on here and bash one of the most respected organizations around, a company with very generous wages who have no doubt put food on their tables and a roof over their heads but switch over to VR and the trash-talking begins in earnest!
So folks, if you're not happy with the switchover to VR and keeping up with the times and are going to proceed to try to trash TT to the nth degree...
I agree with above poster...
BUH-BYE!!! More work for ME and more money in my pocket.
You could be in legal trouble for saving reports.
First, that would be a HIPAA violation. Second, I am positive the entity you worked for did not allow you to keep copies of work for personal use.
Bad idea. Hopefully, any group you show that info to would be scared to work with you.
Please tell me you aren't saving actual reports...?
Please reassure me/us that you aren't saving the actual report with patient demographics, etc., and then showing them to others? That would be such a huge compromise of HIPAA and would bring to light a whole different set of reasons for possible future termination from an employer if it were found out.
I also had asked about Precyse. Thanks for being so honest and saving me from another headache.
I am so disgusted with the way this profession is going down the tubes. I've actually applied at our local hospital today. I dont think I can take another day of fighting for work just to have it sent over to India because our company just doesnt care or think enough of us to provide us with livable wages. I could count on all 10 fingers the jobs which have offered me 2-3 cpl for editing. Then the rare few that offered 4 cpl (which is also a joke) only to find out that they dont pay for spaces, headers or anything else. The only profession I know where we literally work for pennies. Come on..this is American. Why are we paid wages like we're a third world country. It'd be nice just to meet the bills, but between low wages and high costs of having insurance, which we have to have because our antidepressant medications are so flipping high. LOL.. who can survive doing this anymore. I'm outta here too. We all need to take a stand. 
i don't know if saving your reports to show quality is a good idea
:)
This is all part of the cost-saving plan..first, send your American MTs work to India so we sit here
with nothing and then manipulate the way the lines are counted. Sounds like cost cutting at our expense to me.
Well, you can tell it is the last day of the pay period.
:
16,000/pay period
This is for 2 weeks, correct? You are able to transcribe 8,000 line per week; I can only currently do 6,000
You can always tell the end of the pay period is near.
:
That would have been $73.53 less than MQ last pay period for me n/m
About $9/pay period or you can use yours

Per pay period?

PAY PERIOD
12,000 LINES PER PAY PERIOD OF 15 DAYS, NOT PER WEEK, AND THAT IS ABOUT RIGHT
but pay period
It is like 9500 lines for part time and 12,500 lines for full time per bimonthly pay period
I do 16K to 20K every pay period sm
These last 3 weeks have been terrible for work load. I cleared 16,000 for this pay period, but it cost my body. I worked evenings helping out when there was too much work and and had to hunt and peck during my shift. It was Spring Break and anyone who does much acute care will tell you, work is SLIM during that time. I still got my lines, however.
Regularly, and I work 1st shift, I get about 1500 to 1650 WITHIN my shift. I don't have a lot of normals, but I have an outstanding expander. I am reaching for 18K every 2 weeks, but I am not quite there. I have not been with the company 90 days yet, I am new.
No , only about 10.00 a pay period

not $50 per pay period ... sm
What she meant was, the computer is a $300 deposit, it is taken out over 6 payperiods at $50 per pay period. After that, there is no fee for the computer and if you leave and they get their computer back, you get your $300 back. just wanted to clarify.
End of pay period!
That's the way it always is. MTs don't make their line count so it waits until the end of the pay period and then they gouge what's there. It's not right but that's what happens.
10,000 by the end of the pay period - sm
so it does not matter how much you do a day, they just want 10,000 lines in the period for FT, 5,000 for PT. I have assigned accounts though, so no pool, I do what comes in on a daily basis, always of 10,000 lines usually about 12-13,000, but some of that is edit at .03 a line.
Must be end of MDI pay period
Little to no work in my primary.

How common is Pay Period at net 30?
Was made offer to start with a company, have to work 30 days, then pay is net 30! That's 2 months without income. How common is this? I know they're are not going to pay until they get paid. Yikes!
11,000 a week - do u mean pay period??

How do you do this Jo? In an 8 hour period? I believe you, just want to know How!
I am with Keystrokes and I can't do it. Hats off to you. What platform? I have seen fast typists do this before.
No holiday. It's the end of the pay period sm
Nearly always low the Monday beginning the new pay period. Never fear, we'll be buried by Wednesday again.
11,000 lines per pay period. nm
It's important to ask if you will have 20,000 a pay period
xx
it says 64 dollars a pay period, below

Do they still move the end of the pay period whenever they like.
They weren't bad to work for but that drove me crazy. I had it in my mind that the end of the pay period was on Sunday so I would work my schedule around that. So say on Friday I would think, Great, 2 more days on this pay period just to find out they were cutting it off on Saturday. I believe this was some bizarre attempt to be able to make payroll by cutting the pay periods short. I could understand if it was once or twice but it happened too many times and I find that made me nervous and wondering why you would changes pay periods so quickly without real notice. The company I work for now has their pay period dates set in stone for the whole year so I know exactly when the pay period ends and when I get paid.
Is that $12,000 per pay period or 12,000 keystrokes
I had no idea the QA period was your
testing period and that they would oust you if you didn't do well. Glad I did okay.
After probation period
The first year you get 3.5 days. After 1 year you get 10 days.
Not true for me. I do 300 LPH but not over 10,000/period. SM
It is certainly NOT their intent to give us a bonus raise, although no MT company would do that these days.
