OT Incentive - anon
Posted: May 13, 2015
WOW! So if you normally work Thursday thru Saturday you are required to work 5 hours of OT to receive it. Don't know about you but 13 hours is too much for me.
what incentive? NM - LDSMT

Here is the e-mail - anon
[ In Reply To ..]"We are asking for those interested to work 4 hours minimum on your day off that may be Thursday, Friday and or Saturday this week. If you work the 4 hours minimum on your day off you will get $10 per hour.
If you are scheduled these days and interested in working for this incentive this would be above the 1 hour mandate so that would be 5 additional hours on a scheduled day (4 paid at the incentive pay rate) already to be eligible.
We are trying to get more work force on the rest of the week to increase production."
This will be done on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Hope this helps

[ In Reply To ..]What group is this? I'm in MC's pod and never received such an email. Not fair if certain pods IMO
nothing here either - moonchild
[ In Reply To ..]no email about incentive for me either. not that i'd really be interested in working 4 hours on my days off. so sick of all this OT. i think they would have to offer 25 bucks an hour for me to be interested.
Thanks have not seen that yet in my POD. - LDSMT
[ In Reply To ..]I work those days normally, but I usually have 4 or more hours of OT in on a Thursday and Friday anyway when there is OT so hopefully that will come to my POD. I only work a 4 hour shift on Saturday and by Saturday I have no more than those 4 hours in me to give.
Our POD master is away on some emergency today, so hopefully someone will send that our way.
confusing email - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I understand the part about the extra after you have done your mandatory daily OT..but are you getting 10 dollars an hour extra after that point, or a straight 10 dollars an hour, cause that would rot..Either way, doesnt apply to me, cause Im not doing it
In the past it has been an extra $10 an hour on top - of your normal OT and
[ In Reply To ..]production pay. Much better than those incentives they used to have when you had to do a million lines above your average to get an extra couple of dollars.
Agree but without clarification in writing - you gonna trust them? NM
[ In Reply To ..]x
No reason not to. They have come through - with it every time it has been offered. NM

OT incentive & gift cards - Anon
[ In Reply To ..]MC's group has yet been offered any extra incentive, let alone we never see her nominate any of us for any monthly gift card
or for mt of the month, or most improved mt - focused on herself
[ In Reply To ..]Why is shat we all should be!
MT of the month - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Let alone backlog e-mail in a timely manner before 9 or even 10 a.m. I would rather see any one of us at least be nominated for something versus hearing about kids, accomplishments, etc., because it's not business related. Again, also trying to get our PC, initials RB, to put samples in repository is like asking her to do the impossible!!!! Asked weeks ago for a few and still nothing, yet her answer is to just leave blanks.
no incentive in the MW pod - too bad
[ In Reply To ..]I won't work on my day off without one

Incentive... What's That?

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.

Incentive - I Don't Get It
Jan 14, 2011
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 ...

Yay! Another Incentive!
Mar 16, 2012
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 ...

Does Anyone Get Incentive Pay For SR?

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 ...

Confused Incentive And OT
Oct 17, 2009
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! ...
Do You Care About Incentive
Mar 11, 2010
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 ...
New Incentive Program.....
Mar 15, 2010
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 ...

Has Anybody Done The Math For The Incentive And
Oct 17, 2010
I'm unsure if my math is correct, but this is what I got. I average about 300 lines an hour for my 8-hour shift. In order to reach the cap over the 4 days, I would need to type 16,666 lines above my normal line count. That would be 4167 lines extra a day. In my case, at 300 lph, that would be almost 14 more hours I would have to work daily on top of my normal 8. I suppose 1 hour to sleep and 1 hour for eating and potty breaks a day is all I need, right?& ...

16,449 Lines For 4-day Incentive!!!!
Mar 17, 2011
The usual unreachable goal they give me for these incentives is 8882 lines over a 4-day weekend, and now they want 16,499 lines before they will pay me 5 cents a line above and beyond? I hope that is a typo, or someone is truly insane. Of course, I never go for the incentives anyway since they are always out of reach, but I do take advantage of the ability to work some overtime. I wonder when they will realize that uping the line rate is not going to work to get more work done ...

Incentive Pay Scale

I am wanting to submit a proposal to my company owner about implementing an incentive-based pay scale to help with some issues we are having with people not working consistently and to reward those who are putting in overtime, etc. I am having a hard time finding any information on this as far as like a sample scale. As far as I understand it you make your base pay say for example 7 cpl for the first x lines, then for the next y lines you make an additional 0.025 cpl and so on up the line... If ...
They Call THIS Incentive?!
Oct 22, 2011
I started a new job at the beginning of September, but I don't think I'll be there much longer mainly due (1) lack of work on my account lately, and (2) it turns out I really don't like having to punch in and out and stick to a schedule. But another thing, which doesn't factor (as much) into my desire to leave this company, is their so-called incentive plan. Check this out and tell me if this would really spur you on to type extra lines: First 2000 lines above minimum 12,0 ...
