    Labor Board
    Forget the state - go to the Department of Labor on website - I had to, my company "borrowed" from my IRA and although I got my money, I did not get my interest, cap gains etc. The labor board is helping me now, including filing charges against them for bouncing checks etc. The problem is if no one complains when the check bounces not much you can do. Bounce a check at walmart and go to court possible jail- bounce a paycheck and do nothing if they send out another to you, doesn't matter when they do, just that they do.  If it happens often, don't request a new check file charges and then get your money. They won't do it again.
    Labor Board

    For those of you who are not getting paid (seems like an epidemic) report your employer to the labor board in your state.  A word on Gant Transcription - this being a company who either does not pay or sends checks with insufficient funds - be wary of any advertisements here or on any other board - it's a bad deal - remember you are not working for free - and this company does not pay unless forced to.  Don't fall into Gant's trap unless you like spending your days and nights working for nothing.  If your company is not paying - keep all correspondence and report them immediately to your labor board - they will straighten things out.  The BBB is not the way to go - they can do nothing to get your past wages to you - but the Wage and Labor Board can and will.


    I am an IC so labor board can't help
    I will be filing a small claims suit next. Unfortunately this company is in Midwest and I am on East Coast, so I am going to have to look into the logistics of it. Thanks.
    This is a lie. Go look at the labor board website.
    Funny to me what people ASSUME is covered by The Government! LOL
    Two words: LABOR BOARD.

    Labor Board Denied
    The Labor Board only deals with "Employer/Employee" situations.  I only have and always only had Independent Contractors that I provide a 1099.  She claimed to be an "employee".  If you read up on the ABC and/or the 20-law factors of the IRS, you would understand more on this.  She also claimed some other issues that did not involve the Labor Board as well.  I have all the paperwork.
    check with the labor board. Would they pay you double
    if they let you go without notice?
    Check with your state's Labor Board on #2
    .
    But you say Labor Board denied this person.

    My suggestion is to call the Labor Board for your state. SM
    If you are working in a hospital and you have to physically be there, I think the law states they must pay you an hourly wage.  I think they're trying to screw the MTs. 
    One late check, I'd forgive, but the 2nd and I'd on my way to the Labor Board. (nm)
    !
    Call the labor board. They will get you your money as long as

    you have documentation to prove you are owed the $$. 


    with such great documentation, it sounds to me like you should be able to call the labor board
    or at least unemployment...it is something you really should consider. there are civil service jobs, if you do not want to work at home, and you can get help finding a job that way.

    this is what is needed when going to the labor board so they get a clear-cut look at what is happening in this business.

    just because it saves a buck, should not mean employees should be able to be treated like dirt...

    you have been pushed out of your job, sounds like, and that at least qualifies for unemployment.

    believe me, any other job you find out there will be almost the same, but you could collect some money while you look for something with the same pay, am I correct?

    SE or not, too, you have lost YOUR LIVELIHOOD. what do people think, like okay you have no way to make a living now...
    Get in touch with your State's LABOR BOARD. Years ago I got stiffed....(s/m)
    out of one paycheck (that bounced), plus the employer had been lying to me for almost a year about my health insurance! (Was taking $$ out of my paycheck to pay for insurance, but instead kept it for herself.) I went to the Labor Board, paid a very nominal fee to file, and all I had to do was write down what happened, and that I wanted my money that I'd earned, plus what I'd paid for "insurance." Not only was I paid (fairly promptly, too!), but they went into that office and tore it apart, finding many more labor infractions. Business was shut down, and I believe she did some time in jail. Even if I hadn't gotten a time, that alone would've been worth the filing fee!
    Send me the link to the ad on Equipment board. (SM)
    I will discuss this with the Administrator and see if at least we can prevent her from posting anymore equipment for sale.

    Labor Stats from Dept of Labor for MT inside

    This is quite interesting...it is too long to post here but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the statistics.  Thanks!

    It was my first mistake ever...

    and I'm sure you've NEVER made a typo in your entire life.  You are my idol.  Oh, yes.  Uh huh. 


    Not really NM above. Mistake.

    Big mistake for me
    I became an MT after my surgery because I can no longer drive at night and can no longer work in a building due to severe dry eye after the procedure.  I used to be a computer programmer prior to Lasik, with the same company for 17 years.  I miss my old job and my old eyes.  My vision is not very good due to irregular astigmatism induced from the Lasik procedure and haze that formed in the cornea.  Most people do not realize what can go wrong because you only hear about the good results.  Unfortunately, I'm one who ended up with many, many unresolvable problems from this surgery and it has turned my life and freedom upside down.
    mistake her for a man - LOL

    My mistake
    I'm sorry, it is definitely 10,000 lines, I think I must have been seeing 1000 minutes but thinking 100 minutes.  Sorry about that.  Very long day.
    yep, your mistake then. thank you. NM

    thank you Sandi, appreciate your help! My mistake
    meant w/o blank lines but in my haste I worded my post poorly. Sorry!
    She's not the only one who makes that mistake....
    I had a medical records director 20+ years ago mark on our evaluation under "skill level", that out MT job needed little skill for the job. I refused to sign the evaluation and told her she should be ashamed of herself. Can you believe it? And she had an ART just like me...go figure!
    oops mistake
    Meant disk failures though your disc in your back could fail.  Writing, thinking and typing all at once sometimes throws me off.  Mind is working too fast. 
    Look, you made a mistake.....
    no need to go on the defensive and start calling people fanatics.  Just because someone loves their dog like their child doesnt make them fanatical.  It also does not mean that because their pet is treated like a child that their pet is not trained.  Are your children untrained?  My goodness!  My children behave very well.  Treating a pet like a loved child, in my opinion, would mean they are treated with a lot of love tempered with discipline and boundaries.  I think that you are fanatical in that you cannot seem to have a normal middle ground when it comes to these two issues. 
    SAW ON FOX NEWS SAID IT WAS A MISTAKE
    They said Ryan gave a number said to be Chris's, but actually when people called in it was the voting number for the girl!!!! Everyone should hound the Idol website!!! I knew something had to be wrong!!
    Just want to avoid the same mistake...nm

    I made a mistake....

    For my hard hyphen I assigned Alt + H, not Ctrl H as I had posted.


    I do remember (sort of) trying the hard space and I couldn't get it to work.  I believe it put in an extra space.  I'm sure I tried the backspace and pause features without luck, got frustrated and quit.  I should try playing around with it again because that would be a great time saver.  I know I have Dr. in my ESP as dr....but closing up that space would be better.


    I believe it put in an extra space.  I'm pretty sure I tried several combinationns


    But you get DINERO for doing that! If it's the same mistake,

    I'm sure she's aware of that mistake! nm

    Oops! My mistake...sm
    ... you can dial in with your Lanier using VOIP just as you can with a regular phone line (I again said C-phone in my post below).
    Mistake in post
    My point: You mistakes

    You forgot the word make. LOL. Couldn't resist
    Why not call them and ask if there was a mistake?
    Tell them that you were told you'd get pay for training and it didn't appear to be on this check.

    Couldn't hurt!
    Stoopid mistake

    Okay, I need some feedback here.  I did this stoopid mistake on one of my accounts over the weekend.  I downloaded the jobs, was typing happily along and oh, about 30 reports in realized I had been putting the wrong doc's name on the darned things.  AFTER they had been uploaded to the client.  I've worked on this account for about six months now, and I have NEVER made this kind of error before.  As soon as I was aware of the mistake, I immediately emailed my supervisor, but unfortunately there was nothing I could do to get the reports back and fix the errors. 


    I know that 'confessing' my mistake was the right thing to do.  I also know the client must be pretty upset.  To make matters even more embarrassing, I had just asked for more work from the powers that be since my monthly quota is only equal to about an average week's lines. 


    I guess I am looking for someone to tell me that I am not the only person who has done something so very stoopid.  I hope I don't end up losing my job over this.  It is the first major mistake I have made, so hopefully the company wouldn't be so short-sighted, but you never know.  We had just gotten an email memo from the pres of the company a few weeks ago saying how since there were not enough reliable, quality MTs out there, the company is switching totally to VRE by the end of the year.  Anyhow...


    You can bet I will pay extra-close attention to the next jobs I get, if I get any...Can't believe I did this. 


    What do you all think?  Thanks...


    That to me is a very understandable mistake (sm)
    I'm betting he does not end the report by saying his name - so you just assumed it was the same doctor each time and nothing jolted you to let you think otherwise - very understandable in my mind - I did secretarial work for 25 years before this and have done this for 13 - totally think innocent mistake - proud of you for owning up to it and not defending it - you made the mistake, corrected it and moved on - enough said. Chin up - you are still a good MT!!
    Probably a simple mistake...sm
    You know this is not supposed to be perfect. We are posting on here on free time when we let our guard down. Sometimes we don't go back and proofread our posts. When we are working we proofread and make sure things are right. I assume you never make mistakes?
    funny mistake
    I typed: the patient is an 86-year-old man being envaginated in the emergency room....

    That's hot. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
    Guessing or mistake?
    What is annoying about this is that the QA is making an assumption that you guessed rather than just made an honest mistake. Either way, it's a mistake. She should have kept mouth shut and not tried to analyze why the mistake might have been made. If it were me, I'd wait til I cooled off and then e-mail her, telling her that I did NOT guess and never do guess, but simply made an honest mistake.
    To Truffle - Not a mistake

    Do we work for the same company?  How do you know?


    Anyway, this was not a mistake or filling in QA.  I don't mind following account specifics, as long as I know what they are.  It is quite a lot of trouble to completely learn and prepare yourself to transcribe **strictly adhering to BOS** and then be told that is not the way it is really done.  Other companies have done this as well.  You need to give account specifics and be sure about them before transcription goes to QA in my own opinion, which means nothing.


    Otherwise, I guess I could have worse problems.  Just venting.  And otherwise, I love the company, my account, and my QA.


    In a big hurry to grow up at 20, BIG MISTAKE

    No one at 20 has the life experience to know herself, let alone know what to want and expect in another person.


    Second time, and successful time, age 39. Better to choose than to "settle" for whatever's in front of you at the time.


    Apologize for the mistake...meant sm, not nm.
    nm.
    Big mistake to every go lower than what you currently make. Don't do it.

    Do not lease. Big financial mistake for you. (nt)

    no mistake, i'm sure. read carefully

    4000 lines a DAY.  Lettuce, etc. 


    very sad someone would post these msgs.


    I made the mistake of falling for that
    pitch in 2004 when I applied at TRS. When I left one month later because they kept running out of work and bouncing me around, I learned to disregard any endorsements.

    As it was later explained to me, the award is based on employee votes. Depending on how many people vote, it can be determined by just a handful of people. Hardly a ringing endorsement...
    Easy mistake to make! (nm)
