In Reply to: I have read nothing. Please elaborate - passin through

Some people seemed to think they were using actual dictations, with actual patient info, in their test dictations.  I would leave them alone, way alone.

I betcha it IS HIPAA regs that rule out wireless
Doctors etc. cannot use cell phones to dictate their reports, right? If this is true, I bet the use of wireless to deliver their dictations to at-home transcriptionists is considered potentially not secure. Well, two modems it is for me and I am really glad I asked this question. Thank you all for your feedback.
Test dictations are often bogus and not true voice files from the company. Need to ask. nm

IRS regs for W2s

Actually, this year since January 31 falls on a Saturday, employers have until Feb 2 to provide the W2s to employees. 


Furnish copies B, C, and 2 of Form W-2 to your employees, generally, by February 2, 2009.  You will meet the furnish requirement if the form is properly addressed and mailed on or before the due date.

I don't think that is violating confidentiality. It is not like...
you would be publicly posting the e-mails, but they would be sent to an agency that routinely deals with these kinds of disputes and regularly sees confidential information as a necessary part of their operation. Any information your employer provides them would also likely have the confidentiality clause on it, so I don't think they could prevent you from using the same.

Thanks, But wait - doesn't that mean I'm violating one
I'm sure it's in there somewhere.

Ummm, this is a message board, not a test.
transcription test, thank you very much! 
No, poster knows better; just knows this board is busier and taking a test!

Test post for email

Sorry, this is only to test.  I cannot post here if my email shows up. 


May be she's getting 100% ESL dictations
You sound like someone receiving the remaining 25% of the non-ESL dictations on the 75% ESL accounts.

There is a possibility that on the 75% ESL accounts, she is getting all the 75% of the ESL dictations (courtesy of the special-assigning of jobs department), which makes her ESL percentage 100%. Ever thought of that?

Poor dictations
Many companies seem to be going to voice recognition. The only reports they have to send to us, then, are the poor dictators, the ESL's, etc. Time for a new career.
DECENT DICTATIONS...sm
It's known as electronic cherry-picking by the Leads .. as the company claims not to outsource work.  There have been 1 or 2 who are very adept at this.  After 3 years with the company, I know generally the makeup, percentage-wise, of good, mediocre, ESL and dictators who just plain s**ck.  So when I get almost a whole shift of crap that takes me 3 times longer to produce, well, figure it out.  There is 1 lead in particular who likes to pick out the good dictators right out of my queue and replace them with garbage.  I have actually called her attention to this on more than 1 occasion.  I'm no tattletale, but this is my living, and my next e-mail will be cc'd to mgmt and all the Suits I can think of.  The Leads are literally taking food out of our childrens' mouths.  
See my post on the MQ board about this. nm

They use to post on the job board here
 - but they got so many replies that were ridiculous that they post at another website.  Goes to show what they think of us !  There is no communication at that place.
When you say post on job board...

do you mean the resume bank?  I am also looking for work as an IC and wondering if there might be any other place to post one's resume on this site.  TX!


Post on job board...
Anybody know what company is posting the transcription manager and QA coordinator jobs...posted by Samantha Lescalleet?
Well there's a post on the new MT board
Maybe he/she took the bait...  they won't even have to pay him/her...
did you mean to post this on another board? NM

I need sample dictations with their final notes.
Hi,

Can someone suggest me a place to find a few sample dictations with their final notes, so that I could evaluate myself?

thanks

Not my experience. I've gotten real dictations sm
from real dictators.
Conference dictations are generally extremely sm
tedious as the voice quality is awful. Consider that when I was in college back in 1970 I made $1.50 a page straight typing from text. You'll be transcribing, not straight typing, a conference or interview.
It they are 20-minute dictations with lots of blanks,

Only jobs post on Job board!! nm
a
only jobs post on job board
I was asking a question about a company on the company board and it completely disappeared. It's not on the job board or man board...I just replied to my own post to ask the question again though.
I saw your post on the forum board.

And to you and anyone else who read it, did you go back and try to read it again, only to find that it was GONE?  Um... yeah.


Every single thing you have said is true.  Every word of it. 


Time to jump ship or drown.


there was a post on them on this board, but all of a sudden ....
it has disappeared .... I have to choose my words carefully, but I think the Administrator took it off the board because they were posting a job on the company board. The administrator does not let companies that offshore post for jobs - AND I PRAISE THEM FOR THAT!!!!
I won't even post on the MQ board anymore...
Its gone far beyond even MQ bashing to MT bashing! Not my cup of tea.

PS: Nice 2 have another GUY on the boards LOL - keep posting! :)
You post on a offshore board.

the right board. We only have 9 boards now, so if your post fits in one of those categories, do not post on the Main board or your post will be deleted with no explanation.

We can post whatever we want. This is a public board

That's the best post I've seen on this board
Love it, love it, love it, love it, love it love it!!!
:D
I too will put your post on my bulletin board
Everything you say is true along with some other comments on this thread about having to work for it. I have been an MT for 22 years. I average about 35,000 a year. I do work full-time, but have a TV in my office to keep boredom at bay. I turned it off 2 weeks ago. The economy stinks, and thinks are getting tougher, so I figured I better start trying to make more money. It is amazing what you can do when you really apply yourself. I went from 1200-1300 lines a day to 1800. That will make a huge difference in my paycheck. It can be done if you work at it.
This is the only board I've been able to post on and

I've been a member for years here. I have a validated email address and have been using the same moniker for at least a year.


Something is not right.


Avenir post on job board...sm
I am REALLY confused now, they want In-house MTs....where? in their US office or in India? jeez.
Now I realize why I never post on this board
Things get blown way up. It was just a question and only a couple just answered the question without judging me and getting into things they have no knowledge of. WOW I think you folks really need to get out more. !!!!!!
this is for post further down, yes company board,
'have you ever worked out of the home'...sorry for confusion.
and the scariest thing is - doctors seldom if ever look at their dictations -
assume it is okay - it had been in the past.  They are not aware of any changes. It's not only a cost issue - it is pure ignorance.
Yes, so that those who didn't see the post on the Company board may see it on the
Main board.  What's wrong with that?  Isn't that ok to do? 
OSI is not allowed to post on the board any longer. (SM)

If you cannot control your emotions when discussing OSi topics, you will be banned.


I have deleted an entire thread about OSI pay because of the vicious personal attacks.  If you cannot respect others opinions or state yours without being so vindictive, don't post here.


 


You post on an offshore board so pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
