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

I would just call in "sick", then. - no/msg.

:p

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.

Nuance- Everyone Having To Change Schedules...
Nov 21, 2011

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 ...

IC Schedules
Sep 08, 2010

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 ...


MT Schedules
Jan 27, 2011

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 ...


No Set Schedules?
Jun 08, 2013

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 ...

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???
