Any idea how overtime is calculated at Transcend? I got this - curious

Posted: Mar 17, 2011

convoluted formula on an e-mail, but it really is not written so the average person could figure it out. When I tried some reality calculations, it came to less than $5.00 an hour even though I had a good line count for me. Is this just another way to hide what is really happening from us?

Overtime is overtime. 1.5 x your line rate. X amt of lines paid at - 1.5 x your line rate. Easy enough.

I worked with another company who did this same thing with OT, and with line count as well. There was absolutely no way to figure out what your pay would be. I thought it was odd and so did the Labor Board when I left because they said that calculation of one's hourly pay should be easily evident to the employee.

Maybe you should take your information to the labor board and ask them to figure it out for you.

supposed to be for OP. - nm

I worked for a hospital using pay per line. Payroll, Human Resources and my supervisor could not give us the correct amount for this problem. It took people hours to figure out and no two people came up with the same amount. Gotta luv it!!

how to calculate Transcend OT - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
This was written to me in an email from Human Resources when I specifically asked how OT is calculated:

OT is calculated by taking your gross earnings (total lines x line rate) divided by the number of hours you worked that particular worked week (Sunday â�� Saturday). For example, if you produced 5,000 lines during the week and your line rate was 10 cpl, your gross earnings would be $500. If it took you 50 hours to produce those lines, your hourly rate would be $10/hr ($500/50).

Can anybody tell me how Transcend and KeyStrokes calculate their pay? I want to get a PT job and am considering applying at these two MTSOs. Right now I'm at MQ and there they pay you on your lines vs hours worked. If line count pay is less, they then supplement your pay based on total hours worked to get you to minimum wage. If the line count pay is higher, you get that pay with no supplemental wage. ...

I work second shift, so, due to the time change from PST to CST, after 10 pm my time, the last hour of my shift shows up as the next day. I worked 1.5 hours this morning and then my regular 2:30-11 pm shift, so I figure I should be paid for 1.5 hours overtime, but my calculated time (I recently discovered this on the current time card page) shows me as only getting credit for 0.5 hours overtime with 8 RT (Regular time) + 0.5 OT hours showing up on Sunday and then 1 hour showing up on Monday as ...

I know when I call in to have work assigned (OT accounts) they always ask what kind I want. I usually just tell them "Whatever" and they confirm I do all work types, say thank you and away we go. Now I am wondering. Seems like after we have had OT on my accounts the next day there is a MUCH higher than normal ratio of crappy dictators. Are the people working OT the day/night before allowed to choose to not do those dictators? I had one of the support staff th ...

Not only cut in pay, it seems like the OT is no longer time and a half. I can't believe the amount of money I have lost. Anyone know how they figure overtime?? Also, I seemed to notice that whenever we complain about FIESA, like about them picking short reports, it seems to happen even more. It makes me think they probably read this forum too and get a good laugh out of it. Sorry, but I tend to believe they resent us because we make more money than they ...

Could the suits be so devious as to require mandatory overtime so it temporarily boosts income so they look like they are paying a living wage? Or is there just a supply/demand problem? I did check into mandatory or forced overtime. It is legal as long as it is not causing a safety risk and there are 16 states putting restrictions on forced overtime.
