you have to keep track of the following - Ididit Posted: Mar 26th, 2020 - 4:50 am In Reply to: Partial Unemployment - anxious
When you file for partial unemployment you will have to report what you earned during the week you are filing for. This means you will have to keep track of your lines, what you were paid for those lines, and this includes any monies you were paid for that week to include things such as NJA wait time, the lines for any production time you were paid for (straight typing, voice recognition, audio only, etc) and however you are paid for those lines. For any PTO you will go by the hourly rate you get paid for PTO time (you can find this in Ultipro if you do not know it, but this is updated twice per year and you receive an email regarding your "benefit rate" based on your production twice per year with that hourly rate listed in it. NJA wait time ...for each 0.10 or 6 minutes on your time sheet for a week, you would have to figure that up by adding up all your entries for NJA wait time and figuring up what that comes to per minute based on your hourly rate and multiply those minutes by that pay per minute. It sounds confusing but once you do this a couple of times it becomes easier. I always keep track of these things anyway.
So, you will need your line totals from all platforms, accounts, rate of pay for those lines, and add all that up.
You will need to add up all your NJA wait times and figure up what that total pay is.
If you submitted any PTO, you will have to figure that pay up based on your hourly rate. (If filing unemployment do not use PTO during a week you are filing as it can cause delays and/or reduced pay)
You should submit a copy of your time sheet (you can put it in a WORD document) which will show production hours, NJA hours, etc. on it.
You should create a document that shows the breakdown of your earned income for that week.
Straight typed lines for week (dates) ________ paid out at ____________ = ________.
Voice recognition lines for week (list dates) __________ paid out at ___________ = _________.
Audio only lines for week (dates)____________ paid out at __________ = __________.
NJA wait time each 6 minutes or 0.10 for week (dates) = __________ paid out at ________/minute = ___________.
PTO for week (dates) = _________ hours paid out at ___________/hour = __________.
You might have other entries such as conference calls, training time, employee tech downtime, etc. which would be added also based on hourly rates)
Total income for week (dates) = ____________.
Once you have all your total pay from all the above, you add it all up and that is what you made for that week.
By now you should already know the amount you would be getting or be eligible for from unemployment, but no worries, because if you still do not know, they are going to tell you once you submit your claim. IF you make more than what you are to be paid out, they will not give you a check for that week. If you make up to a portion of it, you will get the difference. It will all be explained to you once you file your initial claim. However, if full time you will want to make sure you are reduced to at least part-time status work probably before you attempt filing, as you might come close to your payout and have to start all over again if you don't. If you have already filed a lot of PTO to get money for a week you were slow, hold off a week and then the next week use Excused Absence No Work and then file the claim for that week.
You will become a math wiz whether you like it or not during this time.
You can compare your total income (what you figured from the above) to your actual pay stub once you receive it. It should be right on the money or very close. If there is a big discrepancy it can cause delays.
It is helpful if you keep a copy of all your NJA submissions and time sheets showing reduced hours, and that it was due to lack of work (and include on this claim this time round, something about COVID-19 causing clinics to be canceled, elective procedures to be canceled, all affecting your work and causing reduced hours and job availability. You can copy information from WorkForce and paste it into a WORD document for things such as time sheet and Work Availability, showing reduced hours due to NO WORK (make sure to add comments in WorkForce about being out of work on all your accounts or Excused Absence No Work as that will show up on your copy and paste into a Word Document. This way when you file your claim you can attach all these documents to help you in your claim. The way we get paid they do have to verify as it is confusing since it is basically paid out like piece work or per production and not hourly. I am pretty sure right now slow work and reduced hours due to COVID-19 are going to be approved faster and you will most likely not even have to wait 1 week as you normally would, to being getting a check.
If you are laid off altogether, you can file and use your hourly benefit rate as what you would make in a given week, as you will have no work at all if you are laid off completely, and have no other way to base you income on. It is possible they might try to get you to put in your hours and multiply that by the lines you are normally required to produce and the pay you would receive for that, but the problem with that would be you may have varying rates of pay on any given shift, and you have no way to know for certain what you would earn based on the LPH only. You might have a mix of straight typing, audio only, voice recognition jobs, etc., all on the same shift. Unemployment will usually just go by the hourly benefit rate then. This could be why many are just "fired" instead, but you can still file even if fired and can still collect because more than likely the reason you were let go is obviously not due to something you did on purpose. In this case, again, they would more than likely have to go by your hourly benefit rate to figure up what you would make on unemployment.
I hope this helps. I know a few have filed for partial unemployment and have always gotten it (myself included) and you can usually provide your income a lot faster doing all the above, way before M*MODAL or Aquity will be able to verify it for some reason. There have been delays due to this, and 9 times out of 10, if M*MODAL does not respond and give them the requested information, they will go by your numbers (another reason it is important to submit your items above and documentation)
