Confusion over start and end of pay periods with Nuance - FloridaMT

Posted: Dec 29, 2012

Okay, got the shift differential figured out but now I am totally confused as to the pay periods start and end dates. I have an email from Cathy Jones with Nuance that says this pay period runs from 12/22 to 1/4, which I think would be correct as it is 2 weeks. My TL sent us an email this morn saying we have until 1/2 to approve our timecards and the pay period ended last night at midnight!!! What? Don't we work two weeks and then get paid???? Please explain. Also, have no idea what my PTO rate is for days I have taken off because of their stupid formula way of doing things. I guess with Nuance, it's all just a mystery and they don't care if we need to know what our checks are gonna be BEFORE we get them. Can't stand this transition and being kept in the dark!!! :(

I received it in an e-mail recently. The current pay period ends on 01/04, payday is 01/11.

But if you're from one of the bought-out companies... - mraker

maybe they're doing an in-between paycheck to get you on the same schedule so you don't end up waiting 3 weeks to get paid?

I believe what you are getting confused about is the fact that we now have to approve our timecard entries in Webclock weekly, even though we are only paid bi-weekly. In the email I received it says you have to approve the first week in a period by Wednesday of the next week and for the second week of the payroll period you only have until the following Monday to approve it. Hope that helps clear things up.

What team/platform are you on? - no e-mails here

That is indeed the case with WebClock now, with it being split up weekly instead of biweekly, but I never heard one word from my TSM or anybody else about this change. I thought it might be a glitch at first until I read your post.

Can someone clarify for me how schedules/Webclock is supposed to to work??? You are scheduled to work 8 hours. There is no work, you wait 15 minutes, supposed to clock out and check back later, etc. If all of this considered part of your 8 hours?? or do you have to make up the daggum time for all this crap of checking back and forth, emailing to get jobs assigned, etc. I only have those 8 hours and cannot flex. Are you penalized for not getting your hours in?? ...

I have always double spaced my reports when I transcribed unless the client profile told me otherwise.

Anyone else having issues with the speech engine just randomly forgetting periods. As in, it knows the sentence has ended, has capitalized the next word or put in a paragraph carriage return, but there is no punctuation to be found. It used to be there'd be a missing one every now and again at the end of a paragraph, but this morning it's every other sentence. Happy Earth Day! ...

I'm doing a psych clinic report and the doctor uses the patient's words in quotes often, and he always dictates it with the period after the quotes, which I learned is wrong, but I am wondering if the entire sentence isn't a quote, only the last part, does that still hold true, such as: The patient states he is tired, doesn't sleep and is "run down" Does the period go before or after the quotes? Thanks ...

I started using AutoCorrect for my expanders. The problem is when I use them followed by a period they won't work. So "t" doesn't turn into "the" just "t." They work after any other punctuation or a space. I've scoured the internet and Microsoft forums and I can't find a thing. I've tried turning off the auto-caps and that doesn't work. Help? ...

I would just leave it as is,,but there is no continuity within the reports, sometimes 1 sometimes 2. Same with colons. Now I have to check every single period, if it is at a margin, it is a real pain. This is why I firmly believe we are sll editing some foreigners work on a regular basis. I never too the editor test, I want no part of it. ...

Have worked for a couple different MTSO's over the last few years. When copying and pasting prior reports I have typed into a new blank document, I have noticed 1 space has been removed after every period, colon, etc. Anyone else notice this? If the MTSO's are removing that 1 space, on every report, for every MT, I can't fathom how much $ that would save them in compensation payout... (over a month, over a year!); yet still charging the cl ...

So I am looking into making the switch from MT to coder. The AHIMA program says it takes 15 months to complete and then you can sit for the CCA exam. The AAPC program says you must complete it in 4 months and you can sit for CPC or CPC-H. Wouldn't the latter be better? I've been reading that CCA is pretty much worthless. So, why would CCA take 15 months and CPC take 4 months? Also, every job I've seen for a coder requires experience. How c ...

I have been looking at some ads for coding level I jobs at a local hospital but I have noticed this other places too. They prefer an RHIA/RHIT credential but will accept a CCS. Doesn't a person with a CCS have more indepth knowlege of actual coding than a RHIA/RHIT? I have worked for 20 years as a transcriptionist and have had many supervisors with degrees and the RHIA/RHIT credential that were my boss but knew nothing at all about transcription. Do the people hiring ...
