Nuance/filing for under-employment - MT


Posted: Nov 11, 2012

If you ever file for unemployment compensation for under-employment (no work available during your shifts), make sure you list Alphastaff as your employer. This held up my claim by 2 weeks since I listed Nuance as my employer.

Thank you for sharing the underemployment information. sm - anon

Good to know just in case we have to file.

how can they - do that

We work for Nuance, so how do they get away with saying that we work for another company b/c that is the company that our webclock is through. That is insanity. I'm sure they are making out in some way, shape or form by not even being listed as the company that we work for.

Employment Contract With Nuance
Mar 16, 2013

I was offered a position at Nuance and was surprised to get the employment agreement that states I will be an "at-will" employee and that I must apply again in one year as the employment agreement is only for one year.  I was shocked.  I have never heard of this.  I am middle-aged and have never heard of "at-will" employment.  I have also never had to reapply with a company after 1 year.  Are all Nuance employees given this type of employment agreement?    Th ...


New Nuance MLS Actively Seeking Other Employment
Feb 14, 2015

I'm new here, and I see that you really can't make any money at this "company. There's no way I'm staying. There are other MT companies out there where I can do the same work for better pay. I'm also actively seeking in something other than MT, which I'd rather have. I won't quit until I find another job, but when I do find it, I will drop Nuance like a hot potato and not look back. I only hope I have the grace to give them 2 weeks' notice. ...

Question - When Filing For UE . . .
Jan 25, 2013

what kind of questions do they ask you?  Do we just tell them that we're supposed to be at 39 hours and are getting only x amount of hours?  And do we just give them our lines rates?  Our checks can vary in their amounts so I just wondered. I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound ignorant, but this is new territory for me.  I want to be prepared if they ask me something, and I wasn't sure how specific they would get.  Thanks! ...

Filing Taxes As IC And As Employee
Feb 21, 2013

I work 20 hours a week as an IC for a national MTSO, paying my own taxes.  I also work 40 hours a week as an employee with benefits at a university.  Which federal form(s) should I use to file my own taxes?  I would use a 1040 for the full time employee job if that was my only job.  But since I also work half time as a contractor, do I need a different form?  Two separate forms?  Thanks so much for any help you can offer.  ...


Filing For Partial Unemployment

Any advice?  I was shy over 8 hours last week due to OOW (towards end of pay period, so no way to catch it up) and over 10 hours this week now (my last scheduled day was yesterday, and I'll be checking in to see if I can catch up some today on my day off, which won't be 10 hours, of course).   Is there generally a certain number of hours, rate of pay, etc., that one has to be shy of actual scheduled in order to qualify?  I understand it may be different from state to st ...

Punished For Filing For Partial Unemployment?
Jul 28, 2013

I'm thinking about applying for partial unemployment. The only thing holding me back is i'm afraid I will get retalation from the company or even get fired. I'm afraid that I will be out of a job completely without having anything else lined up. I've had maybe 2-3 hours a day of work if i'm lucky for going on a week now, and i'm really worried about paying my bills. I have been applying for other jobs in the meantime as well. I would love to hear anyone's exper ...


STAT-Copy Technologies Filing Bankruptcy

Filing For Early Social Security/Working Part-time

Anyone here working part-time and receiving early Social Security benefits? I am considering doing this in the next year and wondering if anyone else is already doing so. Thoughts?  I've been working full-time since the age of 18 years and part-time before that, with only a 6-month period of time between jobs, but was collecting severance pay those 6 months. So, I really feel I deserve to get back some of the money I've put into Social Security over the last 4-1/2 d ...


At-will Employment
Aug 16, 2011

If your employment with an MTSO is "at will," doesn't that apply to BOTH you and them? The legal meaning of "at-will employment" is as follows: "A common-law rule that an employment contract of indefinite duration can be terminated by either the employer or the employee at any time for any reason; also known as terminable at will." So, given this legal rule, why are we deemed ineligible for rehire when we leave an MTSO without what they perceive as fair notice? ...

I had one verbal warning over the phone a little over a month ago, no written warning, and no "performance management," and was scheduled for a mentoring session later this month...totally taken by surprise. I was hoping to hang on until retirement in 2 years, but with the drop in pay, increase i ...
