webmedx,nuance paycut on OLD VR PROGRAM not fair! - disappointed was loyal employee

Posted: Dec 01, 2011

I have gone over my pay records over the past couple of years or so and my salary correspondence from this company with a qualified unemployment case worker.

When I recently told her that now it appears they (wmx,nuance) are going to even cut my pay more the option I have is to quit and then file an appeal. If the company were to try and fight me on ALL the cuts I have received in the near past I have everything to show the case worker to get the highest benefits for unemployment. When looking at all this its hard to understand this has just happened not so long ago and I bought into it with the old WMX CEO promise for a much faster Escription platform that has not happened to make up for the payroll cuts.

Just saying that when we keep accepting all of these cuts and then you finally have to quit (due to another payroll cut) keep track of your past payroll stubs and original contract to give to your unemployment case worker to get the maximum benefits from your state. I will not accept any more salary cuts from this company especially when the unemployment rate is a pretty high amount based on your earnings before all these cuts we have received. I will not accept any more salary cuts from this company!

Its just ridiculous what they are getting away with if they try this again, buyout or no buyout due to the fact that we are still on the old VR program (garbage) and not Escription as promised by our old CEO!!

wow I am going to try this. - sm

My paycuts since 2008 have been more than 1/2 from 45,000 to 20,000 a year.

Yes, everyone should check their state laws and do not sign anything until you - are sure that is what you want, sm

to do. I have read that one should consult an attorney or local unemployment office for options. I also found this, "Iif your pay has been cut by an unreasonable percentage, you may be able to quit and still collect unemployment benefits. Rules vary from state to state; check with your local unemployment office before you do anything." I think it would be worth looking into and the unemployment office would be free and just a matter of your time. Perhaps if a few people were to do this, these big MTSOs would think twice about all of the cuts as having to pay unemployment and find new MTs might be the kicker to get them to open their eyes. Etransmedia bought out Archivus and paycuts were made and changes made for new hire employees, yet the company tells the news media about millions more it will be making
due to the buyout of several companies. If these copanies are making millions more due to buyouts, what's the paycut all about?

Funny how Webmex always boasted about being the best and winning all these awards but never gave promised raises. I was there over 5 years and never got one single raise (oh, for Christmas I got a card signed by all the big wigs). To top it off, when VR came into play, pay was cut in half...should get more for VR because it's harder to follow and correct someone/something elses mistakes...

I so agree with you on the VR. It is a much more difficult task when having to - correct the VR idiot, nm

webmedx/nuance - 1% - anom

Just greedy. It was one thing for them to cut our rate per line but then they increased our minimum lines per day to 1300 a day on the crappiest platform ever.

So true when old VR requires 70% retype - nm

According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive. In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...

Webmedx has contracted to do all the transcription at our hospital and off-site radiology center. The current transcriptionists are being offered jobs with Webmedx, at approximately 1/3 of what we were making! There is no guarantee that they will keep us on the account and no clear definition of what a "line" is. Current Webmedx transcriptionists please comment on the company with fair and accurate information so we can decide if we want to align ourselves with this company (if ...

WMXers, those of you who use VR, are you continuing to use Wmx's program for now? Are you being told whether you'll eventually move to Nuance's product? Is Nuance's VR program Dragon? How well does it work? Nuance put out Powerscribe which is a terrible program so I'm wondering whether Dragon (or whatever else they may use) is more efficient. ...

I saw the press release today regarding Nuance/Webmedx and was wondering, since Medquist bought M-Modal last month, if all the Webmedx accounts are being swiched over to eScription or Dictaphone (which Nuance uses), or if Nuance also acquired the Enterprise platform and all Webmedx accounts are back to that platform. Anyone out there with any additional information about how the QA folks will be handled? I'm a former Webmedx'er and a new (yet to start working) Nuance employee, so am ve ...

Anyone work for Webmedx and happy there? Doesn't sound like there have been many changes yet with their buyout by Nuance. Are you having enough work (or on a fairly regular basis)? I know this varies by each area, but in general are most of you keeping out of the soup lines? If you hire on PT to try it out, can you switch to full time or do you have to wait so long? Is second shift the better shift to get more steady workflow? What is the difference in hiring on w ...

Anyone also notice the quality of ISR is absolutely pitiful? Getting more frustrated by the minute here. Jus ...

How many lines per hour are most people averaging right now on this platform? I am getting a mixture of straight type /VR that varies daily.

We have open enrollment for insurance ending November 30. The 1st week in December, they will tell us what the pay plan is for the future. Granted, insurance ra ...

The AD claims they are “Best in KLAS”, AHDI Employer of the Year and still offer a production based incentive bonus? With everything we are hearing about Nuance taking them over and Nuances pay and bonus plan referred on here as low. Especially the nuance quality based incentive bonus that has their own employees griping about on this forum. Yet Webmedx now taken over by Nuance is still advertising a production based bonus plan? Whats that all about?? ...

Since we were acquired by the big N, "We" are on the old platform, not Dragon. I don't get any reports that have templates or normals. The account has thousands of doctors. This is as much as I can possibly make under these parameters. So running our "salary calculator," it comes out to $8.50 an hour. I was making twice this 2 years ago for same company before it was acquired. ...

MTs who worked previously for companies bought out by Nuance I was wondering did any of you work using satellite internet? If so, what happened when you Nuance took over as Nuance says no satellite? I use satellite internet so I'm wondering what will happen with Nuance when they take over Transcend. Initially, I'm sure I would be able to use it, but if the platform is changed, then what? I'm just wondering should I find another job now that accepts sat. or ...

I have read a few posts not only about the future compensation worries at Nuance for us "Webbers" but also mentioning the former CEO for Webmedx. I have worked for this man even before my Webmedx days. To me, he always seemed to have taken pride in his position as he talked about why he felt Webmedx was so successful due to low employee turn around and an open door policy in communication with same. Training was superb, the community page which enhanced employee recognition-data made many of us ...

It appears they have done away with our paid holidays. We can work on holidays and have a bonus (if the facility is open and there is work). If not, we have to take it out of our PTO or not get paid. My pay by the new plan is cut from 9 typing and 5 voice recognition to 8 and 4 instead per line. The incentive bonus requires 99% accuracy by QA audit, and 15% or less of reports going to QA, paid every 2 weeks. ...
