I will get paid downtime for the hours that I missed while waiting for them to send another computer to me and getting it set up, right?

yes - I did

Not sure if there is a limit to the number of days, thought 2.

I would call CCM and have her add it to time card.

yes you do. - NM

I was waiting for 3 days for a monitor to be sent to me. I guess it is my fault for not knowing I could have been paid - but CCM didn't let on about it, just let me use up my PTO.

I didn't get downtime either, had to use PTO. Grrrr! NM - anon

24 hours worth, three days in a row will be paid - per incident.

Recently I received downtime totaling 3 days of work and a new computer. It came quite fast and everything went smoothly with set-up/send back of the old.

Do you think - anon

Can I get paid for that from a couple of paychecks ago? Why would my CCM allow me to take PTO knowing I'm waiting on a computer and knowing I should be paid for this time?

How To Get Downtime Pay You Have Coming To You
Oct 07, 2010

Okay people, if you were in the middle of your shift, or you could not sign on for your shift, make sure you filed a Q-care ticket and notified your CCM.  Mine has been sending E-mails throughout the day stating that she KNOWS that DQS is still down even though it shows a green light.  By Medquists own Policy description for downtime for ME/MTs, this definitely qualifies.  Go to MQ Central Home page---Human Resources---policies.  At the bottom of the page there is a link call ...

Did Anyone Get Downtime For Yesterday?

Just curious if MQ is going to try to ignore yesterday's DocQscribe crash.  My CCM is on vacation so I just put an alert on my timecard.  The RTL told me that it was not an alert and deleted my note.  So downtime or not?  I guess I will just be short this week because I am not making up hours or taking PTO when their stupid system crashes and MQ refuses to own up to it.  Thats what they get for having us all upgrade at the same time.  ...
