My goodness, how long does it take a CCM to approve PTO?! - sm


Posted: May 30, 2012

Isn't that kind of a big part of their job & shouldn't they check it/approve it periodically rather than like once a week?!  I need to finalize my reservations & can't get a reply!  Sigh.

some of them are horrible at it! - anmt

Last year I requested PTO for the month of Nov in Jan because we were going on vacation. Do you know my CCM did not approve it until the week before I left. It took her 11 months to approve my PTO. Crazy!!

They Want To Make Sure - You Will Have Enough Accumulated

If you have a good track record of working your schedule, generally speaking, if the PTO doesn't fall on a Holiday,it will probably be approved whether they said so or not. It's the "denied" you have to worry about. If there's not a "deny" it's probably okay, but don't quote me on that.

I, too, have to make my reservations sometimes almost a year ahead of time, coordinating people, getting airline or hotel reservations, etc.

Well, this is a month in advance & I have plenty of PTO accrued. - OP nm

OH MY GOODNESS!!
Feb 01, 2011

I am so confused.  I need to work like the rest of us and sometimes I pull my hair out with dictators that are beyond ridiculous and never told to speak any better, but this I think might have gone too far.  I was looking at old reports for clarity on some medications, information, et cetera on one particular doctor, who is not a bad dictator at all, and repeatedly, I saw the initials of one transcriptionist who literally put garbage in all his reports.  She literally put Doo-dah, ...

Geez!  I was hired by a national last Friday.  It is a full week later, and they haven't even gotten all the paperwork done.  I thought I had completed it all and then they said human resources forgot a few papers.  Well, they have yet to email them to me today.  I thought I would be at least training by now.  It has been a full week.  I mean they still have to install software on my computer, and I still have to train on ES and the account specs.  Ge ...

Anyone out there notice this?  That it takes twice as long to do an op note anymore in ASR what with all the cutting, pasting, standards, going back to check whether or not to delete headings, blah, blah.  It used to be a cinch to simply bring in one of my standards and make the appropriate changes according to the audio, but now with ASR, it takes twice as long.  I feel like I'm running in place and going nowhere just to make ASR learn something.  It's such a waste ...

How Long Does It Take To Not Be Known As An MT

I have known where this 'profession' was headed for years; even in the late 1990s I knew. I earned the education that I need with both an associate degree and bachelor's degree (bachelor's degree from Big 10 university) and, still, many people view me as an MT, which we can all agree is not good. I have experience in my new line of work, and I have worked in that field in the past. How long is it really going to take before people do not view me with all the negative stereoty ...

How Long Did It Take You To Get Off Of QA?
Dec 01, 2014

I have only been working a couple of months at Nuance and I am just wondering how long it takes to get off of QA and become DSP status.  It feels like QA is nitpicking me to death.  This is the longest I have ever been on QA before.  How long does it generally take to get off of QA.  My last audit was 99.85%.   I cannot seem to get a straight answer from my TSM either... ...

Mar 23, 2015

I quit today. No 2 weeks notice. No anything. "You won't ever be able to work for Nuance again if you do this." That's like saying, "You won't ever be able to hit yourself in the face with a hammer again if you throw it away."  There is NO WAY an MT can survive not knowing what they will make week to week. Who can budget like that? They can stick their "compensation plan" up their yin yang.  I am free!  :)  ...
