If you leave without a 2-week notice, do you still - receive the pay for your unused PTO?


Posted: Mar 14, 2013

I've about had all I can take and I'm not sure I even want to turn in a two-week notice.

Yes. - sm

I did not give two weeks' notice. I left before T-giving, and I still had some PTO that I hadn't used and they paid me for it.

I had given two weeks' notice and used some PTO for NJA, but then since there still was no work, I left a week early, and I still had access to my timesheet, so I filled in the PTO time and I got paid.

Even if you decide to give two weeks' notice and don't transcribe for whatever reason (probably NJA anyway), just go ahead and start plugging your PTO hours in on your time sheet to get it all used up and in there and you should be fine with them paying you all out for it once it's all said and done.

Hope this helps!

Just to add here too.... - Same Poster from Above (sm)

I see things haven't changed at all and people are still NJA, so I'm glad I made that decision sooner rather than later as I'd be probably too behind on bills at this point due to NJA to ever make a go of it. Plus the fact that my stress level has decreased dramatically and I feel so much better leaving this company. You'll be surprised the weight that will be lifted from you when you're gone. You'll never miss it! Trust me! Good luck to you in your endeavors!

Thanks! I don't have NJA this time around - sm

But did up until a month or so ago and I'm sure I will again. There are a lot of other issues and my checks are puny anyway, even with plenty of work.

Actually, if my accounts were not so HORRIBLE, we probably would have NJA but it takes so long to do them we have enough work.

2 Week Notice?
May 30, 2012

For those who have left MM, did you give 2 weeks notice and were you able to finish out your 2 weeks? I have another job offer I can't refuse and I don't even know who I turn in a 2 week notice too, and I'm nervous about being able to finish out the 2 weeks, or do they just let you go right then?  Any experience on this would be of great help. ...

Is Nuance still in the habit of cutting you off right away if you wish to give notice of leaving?

I start training this week and want to give 2 weeks notice, just for the fact that I want to keep working around the same time of day that I am scheduled at Nuance - and goodness knows we can't work outside of our schedule  - so can't do both at th ...

...it is so gloriously hard to give a hoot!!  I used to work QA for M*Modal and whenever someone gave notice, we put them on 100% review.  I never understood that as well as I do now.  I am definitely not being quite as careful as I usually am.  I also am not stressing about my production numbers each day.  I wander around on Facebook, Amazon, and give in to the distractions I used to fight against.  Why not? What are they gonna do? Fire me???? I'd actually be ...

Question On Handing In 2 Week Notice

Thanks! ...

To all you wonderful MTs working and slaving your lives away, Happy MT Week.  I appreciate you.  I appreciate your kindness when I have a rant or a rave, when I'm at my wits end with the constant changing around of clients, client profiles and the never ending dings being thrown at me. I appreciate knowing that I am not alone in this struggle. It is because of all of you, and only you MTs on this board that I manage to stay in this game.  We are treated as less than second class citiz ...

Good grief. I did not change the way I edit. It so depends on how many commas they think you should have. Yes, I made an unusual (for me) mistake last week, but the rest of passing an audit is dumb luck of whether you get a realistic auditor or Ms English wannabe. Everybody must be under pressure because of the cesspool as I see a lot of mistakes when I look up past reports to help with these mush mouths and accents. The time czar wants schedule changes, but I see no problems with turna ...

In case any of the higher ups read this--here is the reason why I (and so many others like me) are leaving (I really think they don't see the big picture: 1.  Been with the company over 10 years, working more hours and making much less than the first day I joined the company.  No raise in over 8 years and 2 pay cuts. When you work at a job, you are supposed to make more money not less--we are going in the WRONG direction. 2.  No federal income tax taken out of my pay this y ...

I like my job and the people I work for, but I just cannot seem to make enough money. I have worked for 2+ years as an MT and get 8 cents a line. My accounts frequently have new difficult ESL docs, so there is a major learning curve practically every day which of course brings down my line counts. The company I work for is regularly bashed on the boards here, but since pretty much every major MTSO is as well, I'm wondering if it's any better anywhere else. What have been other peo ...

Will EHR Leave MTs Jobless?
Mar 03, 2010

I just had a chance to see the NextGen EHR demo videos.  The incentives for using EHR from the insurances companies are huge.  It amounts to $3,000 per doctor per month. The doctor won't be able to fiddle with the computer to create EHR.  Even with the current dictation types, the doctor would make some sort of a note or something to remember the main paints to dictate.  This note is sufficient for the assistants to create EHRs.  Probably an assistant will be able ...
