how much are we paid for technical down time

So, is it legal for nuance to use our "paid time off" because of NSA?? I did not approve or request to use my available paid time off. This really is not right!! ...

I'm just curious. I have worked as an IC and an employee. With the last job I took as an IC, I remember in the interview the woman speaking with me said "and the woman you'll be working for always pays on time." At the time, I thought that was rather odd. I mean, why would someone need to say that? Of course I get paid on time. Just like they expect their work done on time. Well it was a huge red flag that I ignored, because then on 4 different occasions over the next 10 months I didn& ...

but I could absolutely swear I have an email from her ages ago that said we were. I may spend some of my vacation going through my 350,000 MQ emails to find this. Does anyone really know. If we weren't; I'm really PO'd I spent any time on them. ...

I saw this on the Nuance board. What am I missing here? It really looks like, according to the Dept of Labor, that we should be paid at least minimum wage for our time waiting for a job to pop up, and not just a lousy 15 mins per day. See the section under "waiting time." http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs22.htm ...

It seems to be that it might be illegal to say you cannot request time off unless you have paid leave. Does anyone know this? This Nuance company is really awful now it seems to me anyway. I do not plan to stay here long, too many changes since the takeover. Bad changes. ...

Do we get paid our full hourly rate for down time? ...

Our group ran out of work today, and it has been a while since that happened, and I don't remember the protocol for getting paid the 15 minutes. Would someone be kind enough to refer me to where I can read the instructions, or post them? Thanks for your help. ...

Just recently started with Nuance and am in Pacific Time. Can anyone tell me if the shift differential is paid if you work 4-12 Eastern time or is it paid based on you working actually 4-12 in your time zone? Thanks ...

Does anyone know about the field of technical writing? It seems like it would be a logical next step for us. Just wonder if anyone knows how hard it would be to get into that field, do you get to work at home, and so on. I'm 50 years old and wonder if its just too late for a career change, but doing this MT/editing stuff for the next 15 years. . . ???? ...

I am not computer savvy. If someone shows me how to do something I can do it but here is my dilemma. I am doing testing for a company and they had me set up a FTP (file transfer protocol) and had me download Express Scribe. They then sent me dictation files via the FTP and said type them and send them back via FTP. So how does one get these files from FTP into the Express Scribe and then do you have to open a word document or set something up to make it open into a word document. I am very confu ...

And now there is a huge backlog? Anyone who knows what I'm talking about want to commiserate with me? I logged on this morning happy to have tons of work to help clear out the backlog...but now there are TONS of "non-TTS worktype" pathology reports which we never have to do, but due to these unforeseen circumstances we are asked to complete these non-TTS worktypes and just do the best we can with them, and they are a PAIN and my pay for the past hour has nosedived to 7 bucks an ...

I was trying to find out what our policy is on technical downtime. I was under the impression we got paid for this at our benefit rate. Anybody know for sure or how to find this on Inner Circle? ...

Why is there is no consistency with ASR with each doctor or account? If an account does not want b.i.d. or t.i.d. then why does ASR put it in? There are certain symbols (&) and terms (q.daily) that are not permitted on Docuscribe but yet ASR uses these symbols every time they are dictated. These are just of the meaningless changes that we have to fix OVER and OVER and OVER again. Here are my suggestions: 1. Let the doctors know on each account what terms ...

Just wondering what everyone's estimate percentage of poor quality (static and other issues) is for the work you do? ...

I work on escription at another company and am having platform issues that the IT guys have not solved so am left to have the creators of the product solve the issues. ...

Looking to find out from others if this "UTO" is a normal industry-wide policy for production-paid transcriptionists who are not paid for time when lines are not turned in; example, storms, power outages, company's platform down, etc. Losing pay and bonuses for not working the same hour twice and getting paid for once. Losing time for sleep, family and medical regimen, too. What is the norm out there? This just started recently. Don't mind not being paid f ...

First, understand that there are two sets of labor laws and regulations - Federal, and those of each state depending on where you live, not where the MTSO is located. Your MTSO must comply with BOTH the state laws and regs that apply to YOU, and of course those at the Federal level as well. The "no-work" situation will usually fall under what's more commonly called "on-call" time, and most states have very specific regulations regarding compensation that must be paid for "on-call" ti ...

I was curious if any other MTs are getting paid by the minute too. Replies are welcomed. I am required to get 131 minutes for an 8 hour shift. We get incentive if over. We also use VR, so that helps, and we have weighted doctors. Thanks, MeL ...

Is the word "allergic " capitalized in this sentence: He is allergic to penicillin or He has no allergies. ...

If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email. I have the sudden need to help support a family member long term (in addition to myself) and really need to find a long-term remote employee position for the stability. Yes, I watch all the various employment sites and even individual hospital sites, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe someone who works for a hospital that does th ...

I am wondering what the average for part time and full time status is either if it is done by line count or hours. Thanks so much! ...

Has anyone working for an MTSO been downgraded from full-time status to part-time status based on not enough hours worked to be considered full time, yet making well above the minimum amount of earnings required for full-time status? ...

It has been inconvenient, and maybe a bit confusing at times, to check my time card hours for my shift as, because of my time zone, part of my hours show up on the next day because I work 2nd shift. I wonder if I will get overtime for yesterday, even though I did not work overtime. I had to start work several hours early because of maintenance, so all hours were completed before the hour my hours start showing up on the next day. Fine. But the last couple hours of yesterday show up as today, ...

Ever since they have changed Schedule Source and now it has a display called today's activity with "actuals" hours, this has not matched the hours shown with the time clock punches and is less than the hours according to the clock punch. The difference adds up to a significant amount over time. I am really suspicious about being jypped paywise. ...

how much are we paid for technical down time - wondering

I think they recalculate your benefit rate every 3 months - or so. Same as your PTO rate.
