wmx/nuance paycut meeting,listen to tape shut up or QUIT, nuance attitude? - salaryfixing?


Posted: Dec 12, 2011

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 incentive for higher production at 98% QA is not going to do better by 1% to get the incentive...The company however will save thousands overall by not having to shell out more for their MT incentives, becuase at their fingertips they can and will most likely take away by over QA'g everyone. One is better off telling them to stick it and go where there is no incentive and maybe a better standard pay with less headaches than arguing over India QA reporting to get ones incentive pay. We need to all consider the possibility of a sick out just like the police (blue flu) do all over our nation!

This company tells everyone they have far greater financial resource due to VR programs they own. Seems to me they hold a hammer over the heads of other MTSO's which use those VR programs, which I believe could eventually create an idustry of salary fixing for all MTs... Something needs to be done, and yes bule flu comes to mind!

thx for reading my rant.

wait, wait - anon

The QA part is true; the pay cut part is not. Clinic and acute E-scription MTs will remain at 8 and 4; people on WebMedx platform will actually get a slightly higher cpl rate. Nuance has now released the recorded presentation; I encourage everyone to check it out. (Sorry, I can't figure out if there is a way to post a link to it.)

Note that the lower cpl rates are for graduates and radiology MTs only.

What about QA at Webmedx? - Worried

What happens to QA currently working at Webmedx? Do we keep our jobs? Our pay? I'm really getting concerned. Love my job and want to keep doing it!

QA wasn't addressed. - nm

QA - hourly
[ In Reply To ..]
From what I understand, QA is under the hourly segment.

QA score - reply

[ In Reply To ..]
QA is done both overseas and domestically, depending on how accounts are setup. All QA use the same metrics, with all QA receiving reviews as well. The raise to 99% is to meet the demand for greater attention for patient care and safety because 98% has been found to allow too many errors onto patient records. Other employers have already made this quality score shift due to industry demands, so I anticipate the majority of employers, hospitals, and clinics will adopt this higher standard.

''QA score - reply'' = BS - Nice spin, though...

but nothing but ridiculous, verbiose rationalizations to justify cutting the pay of those who produce. ''Industry demands''?--Yes, indeed, Captain Obvious, your anticipations would be correct, at least as they pertain to greedy MTSOs. They are expert at coming up with transparent excuses to justify their wage slashing.

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 ...

I am surprised they didn't have the meeting muted on your side so they could just spin their side of everything and to $#$@ with the questions.  Your grid must evidently be different from the one we are on (Enterprise system) but I am sure if they take away something from one group, they will find a way to hit another group next.  Didn't they try to reduce your rates once before, then backpedaled on it?  Not sure how many of you are impacted by this, but I have to wonde ...


1st Pay Period With Nuance - ? About Meeting Standard
Aug 12, 2012

I am full time & started training class the last week of July so this is my 1st full pay period.  I know we are required to make $900 a pay period, but I can't find my offer letter and can't remember if this was after you'd worked 90 days, or that after 90 days they will check to see if you are averaging. (?)  I've done straight type & made a little over 100 lph so far with getting used to the platform/dictators and inputting type shortcuts & templates. ...

I Quit Nuance On Saturday...
Apr 01, 2014

I quit Nuance on Saturday and today have received 2 offers for employment elsewhere.  One is in the transcription field and the second is something completely different.  Think I will go with the new field.  I need a change. There are plenty of minimum wage or a little better paying jobs out there in transcription though if one wants to stay with that type work.  You don't have to stick with Nuance for fear of not finding other work.  ...

I used to be a person with such a positive attitude, always smiling, taking the good with the bad and never letting the bad get me down.  Since all the recent changes at Mmodal going back several years, I've become more negative, more cynical, more frustrated, and more sarcastic.  I no longer care about the quality of a report when I get a dictator that obviously no longer cares about his/her patient.  You know that dictator that has the nerve to call on his/her cell phone wh ...
