With this stupid new NJA policy, what on earth are - SM

Posted: Aug 23, 2013

we supposed to do at holidays when there is No Work and No Work to make up later that day or even that week?!?!

yet another excuse for them to be able to let someone go... - SOSDD

not working scheduled hours. Not their fault that it's not possible to work when it's all over seas. Then they have a legitimate reason for letting us go.

guess they will have to make a few amendments to the - ridiculous policy

And what about if you run out on a saturday evening shift? Make it up the next week? Make ya wonder if the writer of these policies has fetal alcohol syndrome!!!!

or if you work in the evenings - I guess you plan to run out

[ In Reply To ..]
To make it up on the same day you'd have to plan ahead, assume you would run out, and get after it earlier in the day.

I don't work for MModal, but if everybody has NJA consistently - when would you actually be able, sm

to make up lines when all 500 transcriptionists are trying to make up lines? Just saying

Exactly. Can't make up time if everyone has NJA. - SM

MM doesn't have a clue.

I don't think they thought this through - everyone will have to start really early

[ In Reply To ..]
The later in the day that your shift starts, the harder it will be to make up time that same day. So everyone will become proactive and start earlier. And no TSM better say a damn thing about it either.

you can only start earlier if there are shifts posted - on the swap board

[ In Reply To ..]
I doubt there will be a lot of early shifts posted because there is no work early. I used to start at 5 am and was forced to start at 9 am because there was no work that early. So the chances of a TSM adding shifts to the swap board that early are slim to none.

that's not so - the email says nothing about swap board

[ In Reply To ..]
it says you can make up your time during the same day without supervisor approval.

New policy - opted out of corp propaganda

[ In Reply To ..]
Could someone please post this new policy on here? I opted out of getting the corporate propaganda emails and I have not seen this new whopper of a policy and it is not on Mmodal intranet site yet. Thanks in advance!!

not allowed to post company data on here. - guess you have to opt back in

[ In Reply To ..]
Or email tsm

Don't know, can't follow - never mind

[ In Reply To ..]
Never mind, I am going with my "didn't see it, don't know about it" policy.

it basically says - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
that you no longer have the option to take the remainder of your shift without pay, and you can make up the time during the same day without your supervisor's approval. But of course, the day is not even over and TSMs are already changing the rules.

Thank you - optoutmt

[ In Reply To ..]
Thanks for letting me know what it said, I appreciate it.

No pay option still available in Remedy - At this point just email

[ In Reply To ..]
When we got the first email about the policy changing it was changed on the Mmodal site. Now we get this email from Shaw letting us know we cannot take off without pay but the apparent outdated policy is still up. I also went into Remedy and the work without pay option is still available. So who to believe?

Is that really a smart decision to opt out so you - never know what is going on?

[ In Reply To ..]
Sounds pretty counterproductive to work for a company but opt out of their emails. Shees!

my tsm sent an email that you will have to claim shifts - when you run out of work

[ In Reply To ..]
It also says you cannot just take work whenever because it takes work away from someone else.

so once again TSMs make up their own rules - what is the use of a policy? nm

how we do it in - Texas

[ In Reply To ..]
Texas women get what they want, but in a nice polite southern way. We say things like, "Oh am so confused because the official company policy says that we are to do it this way, and your email seems to be saying something different?" Always end your statement with a question mark and a smile.

Not everyone is NJA, Thus the reason they are - reworking BOBs and schedules

[ In Reply To ..]
I believe the reason for the changes is to address the very issue you describe.

Would it be better if they just continued to do nothing? At least this way, they give daily fodder for this board to go nuts over every move they make.

I just want the option to take time - without pay or PTO

[ In Reply To ..]
I got a part time job to take up some of the slack because of the NJA situation at MM and it was working out fine, but nooooo now I must figure out a way to get 40 hours at MM.

without pay or PTO - Anonymous

[ In Reply To ..]
Where does it say you can't or won't be required to take PTO?

I meant without pay or without taking PTO - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I want the option of taking off without pay.

not an option - mt2

[ In Reply To ..]
the email states they are getting rid of the option of being released without pay. I want to know as a part-time person who also works a full-time job where I'm supposed to find the time the same day to make up my hours if I have NJA.

I realize that - duh

[ In Reply To ..]
That's why I'm not happy about it.

agreed, we are in constant TAT and mandatory OT - wish we could get some help

The posts seem to be getting more and more bitter and full of vitriol for basically every MTSO out there.

For the past few weeks I have been getting NJA all night every night! I am barely making my hours or money that I need. Am I allowed to make up some of this time during the day.

I know this isn't what they intend, but I'm wondering if we need to stick to our schedules anymore. If we can "make it up" in the same day, is it necessary to wait til our scheduled start time if we usually run out? I mean, why wait til our scheduled second shift hours if we're afraid of running out? Can't we get on earlier ("same day") and get whatever is available then? I'm not saying this is fair to those who are scheduled earlier, but there� ...

So help me understand this "new" policy. Are we taking a cut in what we accrue for PTO? I have over 15 years with this company and find it hard to believe longevity/loyalty do NOT count. So as I read it, the person that started yesterday will accrue at the same rate as me? "full time employees will accrue 0.059 hgours of PTO for each paid hour up to a maximum of 4.62 hours acrrued in a pay period." HUH? Not real clear to me. So we only get 4.62 hours per pay period?

I would love to know how people are handling this new NJA policy. As I understand it, if we get NJA during our work schedule, we are supposed to keep checking back for work through our shift. We are allowed to work at any time up until midnight to get in our hours for the day without approval. I really think if they have no work during your shift, they should pay your benefit rate for the hours there is no work. I know some states have this, but mine does not. It just does not seem rig ...

A couple weeks ago someone on here mentioned that we do not have to use our PTO for NSA. She advised me to contact HR, which I did, who also told me the policy is we do NOT have to use our PTO for NSA. The conflict is, my SM sends out emails prior to time card approval stating we have to use PTO if we have it, or submit PTO for unpaid if we have no balance. I am curious to know if my SM just isnt aware of the policy, or if she just wants us to use our PTO so our hours will all be accounted for. ...

When we got the New Work Availiability Policy last week I replied and made a suggestion that they go back to the idea of a 12-hour shift within which to get your 8 hours. I pointed out that it would eliminate the work tickets and all the other administration and mumbo jumbo that goes on trying to get everyone's work hours in. People would be more likely to be able to get their 8 hours in if they had 12 hours to look for work. It would increase employee satisfaction being able to ...

Aug 24, 2013

As I read the new policy what has been eliminated is the option if you run out of work during your shift, to just call it quits for the day and take leave without pay. Instead, you have to keep checking back during your shift. However, if you still are short hours you have the option then to take leave without pay. I know this is not what the TSM's are saying, but the option to take PTO or leave without pay still remains in the official policy on line, at least as of yeste ...

This is something that has been bothering me. I feel stupid asking, but since it's rather important, I ask. cpl Currently, I am making 0.083 per line typed.

They stated 0.5 cpl extra per line typed. Since I have to enter my own pay and production, I'm just confused a ...
