frustration over reason behind incentive - NJA Queen

[ In Reply To ..]
I understand the OPs frustration that we only get offered incentives and have work when the Indians have a holiday celebration and MQ feels that we should be grateful for the scraps they nudge our way. Then when it is a US holiday the US MTs have to beg and beg and beg for a day off. Double standard for sure. Notice they first asked for committments for extra hours and then when no one jumped at it they offered the "incentive." Not one mention of Indian holiday except for this board. Wonder why that is?

Hopefully some people can take advantage of the extra work and incentive and make some extra money before Christmas.

If you will do a quick review of the complaint about OT posted here, you will see it is not the OT itself, but the reason for it. It is grossly unfair that our pay has been drastically cut due to ASR and Indian labor, yet MQ will entice the US MTs with OT to cover for the Indian holiday. Also, as posted numerous times before, the OT incentive is laughable. It isn't that the MT would not work overtime; we all desperately need the money. It would only be comical, however, to wait to see the 'incentive' pay show up on our microscopic paycheck.

It DOES INDEED sound nice! I'm all over it! Started early 2day, am off to a great start, got a pot of Starbucks coffee on and am ON - IT!

I'll work OT, holidays, nights, days, weekends, don't mind as long as I get a good paycheck for my family's Christmas.

Just me or does the goal seem lower also? - anon

Maybe they got the hint that if it is unattainable, we aren't going to do it?

re: lower goal - bawling chain

Could be your line count was lower for the period they use to figure.

It was about twice the amount I was expecting, if I was to get anything at all! I'm pleasantly shocked! The DOL had called me about a month ago to ask me several questions about when I had worked there. The letter included with the check from Landmark said that they don't agree with it, but agreed to pay it anyway. LOL Hopefully there will be some other former Landmark employees who will also be getting a nice surprise in their mailboxes! ...

Whenever we are asked to help, there is no incentive offered. I never thought of it at all, until I started reading some random posts below about getting incentive. Hmmm I always let them know I am happy to help, was that dumb of me to say that? Did I screw myself out of ever getting an incentive? or maybe not all companies offer it to begin with. oh well. ...

The way it looks to me, they give me a target to hit over 4 days, which (I don't need the particulars of how they arrived at it, but I get them anyway) pretty much reflects my daily average. Okay so now I work all day today, tomorrow, Sunday and Monday, making my average each day and THEN, at the end of Monday, if I'm able to get in another 100 lines, I will get 3 cents for those 100 lines??? So I work all day on my two days off for 3 dollars? Have I got that straight ...

Just like they did last year and I think the year before that. They will have pretty much an incentive every week to get the backlog all pristine, whether or not there is a lot of work. Because of this, if you participate in trying to reach this incentive, your goal each time will be higher and higher, to the point of unreachable. Dirty tricks. ...

First, let me say I have 30 years experience as a MT, but this is my first experience with editing. That said, I hate editing except it does give my arms a break. I can maintain 99% QA and low QC score. What I can't do is a zillion lines per hours. I used to make well over $40,000/year before internet came into this field and then the editing. This year I'll be luckly to make over $2?,000 which just sucks. The incentive plan is just plain stupid. It ...

I really need some help. I am having trouble trying to prove my case to my manager. I have not been receiving my incentives for a few weeks and today I started doing some research to figure out what is going on. Turns out when I enter the dates in fiesa, I show a totally different percentage than what they show when I go to approve my timecard. I talked to my manager and she cannot give me a straight answer. All I need to know is where is it documented about&nb ...

Okay so here we go. In the past my boss has said that the incentive does not mean that OT is approved. Three weeks ago she said that since it was an incentive then we all could work extra. Then two weeks ago said that OT is not automatically approved during an incentive. Now she states, "I know all of you are worried about there not being work in our group because of the incentive, but it is there. Since there is an incentive go ahead and take advantage of it as much as y ...

Below under the incentive topic it was mentioned that the incentive will not be paid until Jan 10th... but on the email at the very end it states "The incentive payout for this program will be paid no later than January 10, 2010." So does that mean that it very well could be on the Christmas paycheck and they just don't no yet? Thanks! ...

I work in-house doing radiology transcription, mostly VR. The pay is hourly and there is no overtime on our job but there is also no incentive. I'm trying to cut my expenses to have extra money but its tough. I would like to work an extra few hours to save for vacation/a better running car/other purchases. Is there something wrong when a company does not offer incentive for MTs or should I be "just thankful for having a job when so many people are out of work in ...

I like how they try to make this seem great. It's probably no better or worse than we were before with the monthly incentives. When I got that email that said "line rate change" I really thought it was another pay cut. I tried to figure how much the increase would be. I figured that the raise would give me 7 cents more per hour or about 56 cents a day? That can't be correct, although considering who we are dealing with.....maybe it is? How do you figure exactl ...
