Can CCM's make it mandatory for meetings?

How can a company order you to attend mandatory conference calls and mandatory HIPAA training and mandatory platform training sessions and not pay you for your time? Every time they send an e-mail for something such as this, they refuse to pay, even for an hour of time. They tell you these meetings and conference calls are a bonus for you, and that they are saving you money by you not having to pay for them someday (do I look like I just fell off of the turnip truck?). They mus ...

They are scheduling mandatory meetings at 5:30 a.m. I can't do this because of a schedule conflict. This would be 4:30 a.m. on the west coast. Is this just another reason to fire all of us? ...

only force the people to change that they don't mind losing because a lot people will quit over a forced schedule change after we've accepted a job based on fitting the schedule we need....... If I were having to make these changes for my employees, I would certainly not chance doing it to my valued employees. I'd choose the newbies, the ones with low scores, the ones who call in sick all the time, the ones who don't work their scheduled hours, etc. ...

I'm interested to know if anyone has had a team meeting with their supervisors? We used to have them all the time. I requested one, but guess they don't want us all voicing our opinions at once, because it was denied. ...

For those of you that have meetings if anyone gets any info on the line count rates please let us know. I haven't heard anything yet as to when my team may hear something and just curious! Thanks! ...

I heard through the grapevine that there are mandatory company meetings at DTS America today, but haven't gotten any email regarding this. Is this bad for me not knowing or bad for the ones that do? During a company buyout it is always fearful to get an email with a company meeting because, from what I have heard in the past, that is when you get the layoff. Any info appreciated! ...

I am especially interested in the one about the best of the global workforce thing. Wonder what he is talking about but dont want to waste my time. I think it will all be a bunch of lies anyway, and a lot of "read between the lines." ...

I did not attend the last one, guess I should attend this one, but not if I have to make up the time for listening to what could be sent in an email. ...

I called in to the 3pm town hall meeting yesterday but the audio was so bad (echoing/clangy-sounding) that I was forced to hang up or risk having my eardrums rupture! Can anybody fill me in on what was discussed? Were most people displeased with the forced changes and what's about to go down VR-wise (as I am)? Any earth-shattering announcements or new info? I hope somebody can fill me in since I'm too impati ...

Perhaps I should know the answer but I do not. What is the deal with the move to EMR? Is it government mandated? I just picked up a good side job transcribing for a cardiology group in my community and it's projected to last only until they go to EMR..the move isn't happening too quickly...are there penalties if they don't move to EMR? Who is driving this? ...

Anybody enjoying the mandatory overtime. Yea funny how we are on mandatory overtime and then get an email that states that if you run out of work, you are required to email them and flex your time and can only make it up after 5 p.m. So again, you are required to check for your work throughout the day and if there is no work, sorry for your luck and if you want to be "lucky" enough to be employed w/ Nuance, you will then have to sign in and work on your off shift to make up your hour ...

Email received said basically,,,time sheet must be approved, make sure you have the required amount of time or PTO will be added to make up missing and you will need to re-approve it..I dont want to take PTO, I didnt run out of work, THEY DID..I put in my remedy ticket release without pay..How do they get away with that? ...

Anyone else at SS wondering since when is OT mandatory? Threats of pulling PTO and flex time already scheduled if normal days off during the holidays aren't spent working OT? ...

only way I'd even consider OT. period. ...

One hour required again today. Too many people off on leave I guess. ...

Finally some sense. ...

Just informed that I have to take MANDATORY HIPAA training without pay because I can take it "anytime on my OWN time!" LOL!!! The course is 45 minutes long! It is not enough that we have to learn account specifics "on our own time", read the constant silly e-mails "on our own time", but now we have to do mandatory training "on our own time." Oh, yeah - and we have to pass the class with a test at the end too! I feel like I am in a volunteer job! Hmmmm, I ...

Just like the post below stated, House of Delgates known as (HOD) from AHDI is wanting everyone to ensure patient safety and the integrity of patient records, all persons involved in creating, editing, organizing, or transmitting protected health information should be formally trained and hold credentials relevant to those duties. To that end, AHDI should move forward with the support of its leadership in actively advocating for mandatory credentialing by whatever means that can be accompl ...

Why do MTSOs require weekend coverage for every one of their accounts? I have 2 and have work up the yin yang during the week but come Saturday, I'm watching paint dry. My MTSO requires 1 weekend day, at least 4 hours. I changed my weekend shift TWICE to work during the "busy" dictation times and I'm still NJA. Now that it's getting nicer outside, I've got plans and wanna have a life again. The higher ups get off every weekend, why can't we, or at least rotate? I do ...

In my state, they are required by law to pay. I called the labor board to verify. By law, they have to pay if you are a non-exempt employee. I can't file a complaint until the training is completed, but I can do it online the same day as I complete the training. They (labor board) also advised that I keep emails and attach them to the complaint. Unfortunately, it could take up to a year to get the money - my state is sloooow in resolving issues. Even still, my ...

Somehow turned off those pesky mandatory PE and DS headings on the left and cannot remember how or where to get them to turn back on. Anyone know? Thanks. ...

I am curious to know if all this overtime every week is mandatory or not. MY AM asks for overtime on a daily basis and wants commitments for the week. I have been doing it, but am to the point where I just dont want to anymore, I have things in my life that I need to do or want to do instead of spending MY free time always working, working, working. Does anyone else feel this way too? I just dont want to get in trouble if I dont sign up and "commit" to the overtime every week. Thanks! ...

I was told by someone who attended a recent ICD-10 academy (for trainers) that the OIG is requiring all (current) coders to be certified by the October, 2013, ICD-10 implementation date. I am aware of the OIG's compliance guidelines, but nowhere in that document do I find anything about mandatory certification. Also, I am not sure if they meant certified in ICD-9 or 10, but it is my understanding that the last ICD-9 CCS/CCS-P exam will be given in March, 2013, and at this point nobod ...

Is the Hands On seminar mandatory? I prefer not to take it as I am meeting the required line counts and just want to be left alone so I can do my job. ...

I just listened to the monthly meeting and she said ALL employees are now required to work at least 1 weekend day? Has anyone who is M-F been forced to change their schedule yet? ...

Just curious . . . how many of you have employers who are making it mandatory to get a flu shot. I work at home, I'm not in contact with patients. How can somebody require me to inject something into my body???? The terms - if it is not done by a certain date, we are subject to administrative action, up to and including termination. Is this really legal??? I would appreciate nice answers, not mean/nasty replys. Thanks. ...

I was thinking... mandatory CMT credentialing might not be a bad thing. I'd have no problem passing that exam, but would the Indian MTs? If CMT were a requirement for ANY MT transcribing/editing US-based medical dictation, I think we'd lose our Indian partners pretty quickly. If AHDI could ("would" is probably more appropriate) make this happen, I'd gleefully pay CMT dues and attend all the seminars, etc. ...
