Production bonuses - SeaMT


Posted: Jan 26, 2012

I just received my first *denial* of production bonus in over 20+ years with 98.75% QA score.

Every time I look at the payroll data and see...... BONUS:  NO.   I do a slow burn. 

I'd like to know who made that judgment call that is going to affect my income for the next 3 months. I'd like to see my mistakes, and if they are legit medical mistakes then I will accept my *penalty*.  I do not want to think my QA score hinges on whether or not someone is having a bad day, or if I have placed a comma somewhere the QA reviewer thinks is inappropriate.

I would at least appreciate the opportunity of re-review (before 3 month wait period) to be able to have that bonus initiative reinstated.

I  took and passed the AHDI CMT exam in 2009, that qualifies me as being competent to make some judgment calls regarding sentence structure and correct medical language.

I'm also a consistently high producer. So take away my bonus incentive, and I lose the initiative to get to my desk and pump the work out.

I would like the Production Compensation Team/Committee to realize that the salary THEY make is tightly woven together with the salaries WE make, and stop cutting away at the MTs pay. Cut your corporate corners from some other department.

Thanks, I'm feeling MUCH better now.

 

What company is that? - anon

That sounds HORRIBLE! You need to be able to see your "mistakes" to make sure QA isn't making a "mistake" which has happened to me before.

I sympathize - Me

That is awful. Does the company name start with an N? I'm doing the same slow burn here. I was denied my bonus for sending too many reports to QA, even though they were sent there by doing my job correctly (reports sent for demographics, discrepancies, etc.). I wish I could take some money out of their paycheck for not doing their job right and putting these stupid policies into place.

There were major mistakes made when calculating QA percentages at Nuance and I received an E-mail stating the corrections would be made and things would be righted by next pay period concerning bonuses. Just FYI, this was a mistake that apparently affected many, so if you are at Nuance there is still hope that you will get a bonus.

Hi Everyone! Just wondering if the sign on bonuses are real? It all seems kinda fishy to me.

I have been looking for different companies and jobs etc. I currently make .05 per line and it just doesn't seem to be enough. When it comes to the reports, I feel like i am pretty much typing the whole thing over again, so figured I could handle the full duty of the job. I a ...

Want Work From Nuance With Bonuses? Move To India.
Nov 11, 2012

Check out the bonuses for employees in India. My thought is the big N is making a move to transport as many MT jobs to India as possible (low work volumes) and employees in US are getting what is left behind. Home-based employees in India send reports to QA or Editor. If it goes to Editor, Bingo, maybe that's your job, correcting what someone in a foreign market cannot possibly understand. Makes perfect sense for Nuance. Maybe Obama will stick it to them with taxes for exporting our jobs so ...

PRODUCTION PAY
Nov 02, 2009

I would like to know how MTSO's get away with paying MTs and MT editors not hourly, not salary, but solely on how much they produce like they are working on an "assembly line"!!!  Being paid on how much one produces is "pathetic" and is not paying MTs/Editors based on their "knowledge, skill, or experience", and I think is an injustice to the medical transcription profession as a whole. What happens also when an MT/editor works over 40 hours per week.  By federal ...
