More inconsistency with Post-Auditing... - bs


Posted: Jan 04, 2015

Late last week I recieved an email communication about how they will only audit reports that were transcribed/edited during the current work week, only to log on this morning (I'm off Fri and Sat, so Sun morning is the 1st day of my week) to find that I had a post audit score below 99% that was audited on Saturday, so obviously it was edited last week sometime.  If I don't start my week until Sunday, how on earth can they audit a report on Saturday that was submitted the week prior and say they are only auditing reports done during the current work week?  The Nuance work week does still run Saturday to Friday at midnight, correct?  I have submitted a reversal request on the basis that it goes against the "policy" that we received last week; however, I'm sure it will not be reversed, and before I've even edited/typed a single line, I'm off their precious grid already.  Makes for good motivation to work, doesn't it? I have an invitation to test for 2 other companies and will be doing that as soon as I finish my shift this afternoon.  Disgusted.

Date of transcription - Me

In Fiesa I know you put in the correct dates to look at but also change the Date Type to Date of Transcription. Then run Submit to get your percentage. Hope this helps.

Reports audited are supposed to be counted in the pay period when they were transc/edited s.m. - so confusing

regardless of when the audit is performed. This report will not count in the new pay period, but will count in the pay period that ended 01/02/2015. Just got an email about this within the past week.

You are supposed to check off the box in Fiesa where it says "date transcribed" when you plug in your search dates for the pay week. Then, that job will not show up on the current pay week scores.

Why are they so far being doing these audits?

Probably because they are also reluctant to pay - Will

The QC people. Just a guess.

QA Inconsistency???
Jan 01, 2015

Is anyone else experiencing QA inconsistency when it comes to the post-audit reports?  I have never had problems with QA all the years I've worked for Nuance, but since this new "exciting" pay plan has begun, it's been a daily uphill battle trying to get consistent auditing. In the past, I have changed something a speaker says if it was blatantly incorrect, and that has always been fine (and I work on a verbatim account).  Since Dec. 6th, doing this results in a "ding," so I ...


Auditing
Jan 23, 2015

if they review at all of our work but because most are 100 percent, they don't upload to Fiesa, just choose ones with 99 percent or below and occasionally throw in one that is 100 percent to make it look good!!  I do NOT trust anythng they do and would not put it past them. We have no way of listening to even make sure that what they audit us on is accurate.  I am so paranoid that I think they may even change things that we type to make it an error!  So disgusted..... ...


Qualified For Auditing
Mar 31, 2010

Since Audits are affecting us so deeply at this point and possibly costing us our livelihood, I began to wonder WHO is doing the auditing?  We have lost most of the decent QA people (or will as of tomorrow when nothing will be routed to QA anymore).  I know that several of the CTLs, CCMs or whatever the acronym of the hour is currently called, have been morons and sent out E-mails filled with grammatical and punctuation errors, and some have not even been MTs before.  Shouldn ...


Auditing Of Reports Sent To QA
May 12, 2010

Back in April I sent 2 charts to QA.  They were both audited.  You think those charts were chosen at random? I passed with 99-100%, but it's still the principle of it all that gets to me!   ...

New Auditing Team
Oct 24, 2013

Alas, our 99.6% audits are no longer being done by our local BOB QA person but by an official MModal auditing team.  I wonder if they are as illiterate as the Mmodal corporate types.  Happy Halloween, now that's scary.  Kind of makes me picture the 3 witches in Macbeth, toiling over a pot of our work, creating mayhem. ...

Who Is Left Who Can Perform 99.6% Auditing On Us?
Nov 09, 2013

Seriously, the only person I trusted for corrections was my QC.  If they are not going to be doing the audits, who is?  MMEs are just upper grade MTs who were suckered into working for less pay.  MModal has fired/laid off/chased off most of their competent MTs.   I can hardly wait until I get my first (and probably last) required audit.  A 99.6% accuracy requirement from this company of corporate incompetents is hysterically funny. ...

Does Anyone Know The Pay For The Advertised Auditing Jobs?
Dec 08, 2014

Just wondering if it's worth the transition in this company or if I should get away from Scruance entirely. (I love that word. Thank you to the original author.) To me, the fact that they are advertising for MANY auditors is extremely telling. I don't buy the 1% to 2% of a day's reports being audited. I think it will be much higher than that in order to SCREW us even more. ...

I currently work for one of the nicest and kindest companies and that are known for treating their employees with respect and kindness, hardly. I have been doing this for 15 years now and doing at home for 4 years and never had this problem. I being constantly picked apart and audited and t hreatened that I'm physically sick and so nervous to work that I can't make enough to pay the bills anymore. Now I'm even on 100% QA which decreases my pay even more. They have never showed me ...

Auditing Reports From "helper" Accounts?
Aug 24, 2012

Up until now (12 years with this company) I have not failed an audit, always 99% or above, and they do an audit once a month on my accounts plus the client audits. We recently were given "helper" accounts for 2 days when our work got low and I was more than happy to help out, as always. There were many difficult ESL dictators and complicated CPs. I did not think they chose reports from unfamiliar "helper" accounts to do their monthly audits as it had never happened to me before, but I was ...


New Auditing "rules"...really?
Nov 12, 2014

Now in addition to monthly audits, we are receiving WEEKLY audits so they can pick through our work and find more "errors!"  Got dinged for semicolon, dash, and even word that was not clear at all, but it is being "verified" and if "they" (whoever "they" are) can figure it out, I will be held accountable for that also!!!  What is going on here??  ...

After so many questioned my former post, I reviewed MQ's PTO policy.  They state a maximum of 18 days for full-time employees which is 3 days more than I was offered when I last worked full-time (after 30 years).  For those of you who say you are getting 22 or 28 days - I don't know how you managed it but consider yourselves lucky.  I  hope you continue to get it.  And by the way, when I take time off now it is unpaid (as a flexible part-time employee) and was ...

A $12 billion buyout of Nuance by Apple would dwarf the $1.2 billion M*Modal acquisition, and it would also put control of a huge chunk o ...
