Cannot approve PTO and change schedules - whatever
Posted: Jun 23, 2010
My CCM says that corporate said she could not approve PTO or make any changes to schedules until after July 4. Whats with that, anybody know.
Cause then people will have work to do - HAHA, not funny

If they let too many people off, then you won't get the famour NJA, and they can't have that!
No PTO approval - whatever

New fiscal year begins begins on 7/01/2010 or MQ. Now what other agenda they have for not approving PTO or changes in schedules beats me. BB
we were told due to expected high backlog - believe it when I see it

Here in the north our CCM closed out PTO requests around 4th of July including the week before and after because typically the company experiences a high backlog. Normally I would agree with that, but ever since the management shuffle/merger the backlogs have been extremely low. Unfortunately with NJA they are going to have to approve PTO or accept MTs calling in sick or computer problems or power failure. Honestly, I don't think anyone in management at MQ knows what is going on.
So, what's everybody think about the new policy of having to change our schedules to either Sun-Th or Tues-Sat? I'm fuming, especially with them doing it right before the holidays, and I don't understand why they didn't just ask for volunteers first. I'm looking elsewhere. They've put us through way too much since Nuance taking over, and I've stuck it out until now. But, I don't know if there's very many companies out there tha ...
I am totally confused about our new pay schedule for this month and when pay periods end and start again. Instruction from CCM would be handy, but of course she is off and left with no word, so I will turn to the smartest people I know once again. ...
Isn't that kind of a big part of their job & shouldn't they check it/approve it periodically rather than like once a week?! I need to finalize my reservations & can't get a reply! Sigh. ...
Aren't we supposed to be approving our timesheet/lines for this week by now. Am I wrong or isn't payday Friday?
I'd write my TL but she never responds to e mails (nor does anyone else for that matter). I keep checking the time and date and keep looking, but nothing.
Anybody okay'd their timesheet yet? ...
I am new to independent contractor status, so I just have a few questions, so bear with me. I will be contracted with a company to do the work, who is contracted with the the business that needs the work done. I was told of the work schedule. I was told by a legal person that ICs set their own schedules; days/hours to work. So which is it? Can the transcription company that I would contract with tell me the hours I need to work or can I tell them which hours/days I ...
I thought usual MT shifts involved one weekend work day a week. Is this normal? I was offered both weekend nights and obviously they are "allowed" to do what they want, but seems a little unfair. I don't expect any nasty responses of like take what you can get sort of thing, I am just trying to get a consensus of schedules and if I should bring this up, considering there won't be any work on the weekends...
thanks ya'll ...
Are there any companies anymore that do not require you to set in stone your hours that you want to work? The company I work for now has a 12-hour timeframe that you can do your 8 hours in, but its one of those things that when you start, if you get up or get a phone call or have to do anything whatsoever, the time is counted off of your productive time, and you have to add it back on the back end so you end up working throughout the whole 12 hours to get your 8.
What if I don't want ...
Seems like the QC and TSM are not on the same page - is this the old North region (now whatever) where the QC seems to communicate more than the TSM? As far as I'm concerned, they can all go jump in the Lake (and that's putting it nicely). ...
I was wondering if anybody could tell me how flexible they are in scheduling. I was offered a position that isn't the shift I want to work, but I need the job so I'm considering it. I'm hoping to be able to change shifts once hired and have been told that wouldn't be a problem. However, I know first-hand that some MTSOs will say one thing to get you on board but then not do it afterwards.
So, I'm wondering if I should I take t ...
I'm just curious how well other ICs stick to their schedules, do you ask for time off or just let management know you won't be there, do you work extra when management asks??? Sometimes I feel like I behave as if I am an employee, but without any of the benefits. I'd like to know what the norm is out there. Thanks! ...
Got a phone call yesterday from TL questioning my being short on my time card. I had sent in OOW email etc and followed protocol as on that prior Saturday had run out of work which is typical for Saturdays with who I type for, but am still being questioned and was told to take PTO Time to make my 40 hours week. Said that they were going over making sure everyone was working their assigned schedule. ...
I have been offered a position at mmodal. But I have to sign the agreement before I negotiate a schedule. What are current mmodal employees thoughts on this? ...
I assume for now they will leave our schedules as they are, but does anyone know if they have requirements like - 6 months before you can change shifts/hours, etc. Also, does anyone know what their PT requirements are, 20 hours maybe 2 10 hour shifts (hope, hope).

Hi. I was wondering if there are any Accentus employees here that could tell me a little about working for them..specifically, their 15 hour weekend position, 3rd shift positions and if they are employee status positions. I was also wondering if it a set schedule because I had read that there is more flexibility with schedules with Accentus, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ...
I was contacted by KS regarding some openings. One schedule is Mon, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. I'd rather have Saturdays off and work sundays.
IF I took this job, how often can you request a Saturday off, working one of your days off in its place? ...
is no work, and now that work has picked up there will be mandatory schedule changes???? I really resent being punished for the company's work-flow issues. It's bad enough that they throw a ridiculous amount of accts with different profiles at us and at the same time expect perfect work but charge us to use QA and constant reminders that corporate is looking at our line counts. My stomach is contantly in knots while I'm working so why would I ...
holidays, so 1 person doesnt have to work all day. We worked out T'Day schedule but not a word is heard about Christmas. And dont they usually do their diabolical plans into action right before Christmas/end of the year? Just wondering if anyone else has heard anything about PTO/scheduling for the Christmas holiday. ...
If the bulk of our work is nights and weekends, why arent our lovely HDSAs and TSAs working the same damn hours? I dont care about their families or if they have to work two jobs and cant keep changing their hours (oh wait, they get a living wage and dont work 2 jobs). I have changed my hours 3 times in the past 8 months. What happened to all the new hires? What, gave them 9-5 also?
Dont they know they are chasing their own damn tails? Moving our hou ...
