Do we get holiday pay for today - labor day

Posted: Sep 05, 2011

I know I will probably run out of work, but just wondering if what work I do get would be considered holiday pay.

Thanks in advance.

You are supposed to get holiday pay. I am scheduled to work but NJA SO FAR! But then I figured that would happen! It has been this way for the last two weeks. I am in the north. Do any regions have work anymore? What happened? We used to have plenty up until a few weeks ago, and it just stopped!

Wondering same thing - anon

I am from the north too and wondering the same thing. Something happened a couple of weeks ago so we don't have work anymore like we used to, running out all the time. I have had only 4 jobs so far since 5 this morning!

I cannot find anything on the - company website

Its almost as if they took that away and never told us! I looked everywhere.

This same thing happened only it was the south region - Kiki

that said lots of work then suddenly none. Can't remember how long ago, maybe a year or a little less.

I'm in the west region and so far we have had plenty of work. I have a feeling they have started off-shoring in the east, then the south, then the north. I'm sure I'll be back here in a few months with constant NJA. MY Opinion is that the reason they are saving the West region for last is that California's labor laws will force them to have to pay benefit rate for NJA plus if they fire us they will have to still pay UI. So they are hoping most of us will just go ahead and quit after the pay cuts and BS so they will only have a few left to lay off or fire.

I sure hope none of you in the north are buying your CCM's "excuses" for why there is no work right now. Unless that reason is "the work is being sent to India," I am convinced they are not being truthful.

and another thing for those in the North with NJA.. - Kiki

I hope you are applying for partial or full unemployment for the weeks you have NJA that you cannot make up.

my CCM already took my benefits - NJA Queen

Oh yeah, hating it here in the North. Two weeks in a row of working less than 39 and my CCM pulled my benefits. Not enough work during my first week and then slapped my hand the second week for working outside my schedule to make up the hours (no PTO left) because the RTLs apparently don't route work or send out notices when there are critical backlogs. So then I lost my benefits and got demoted to FT with limited benefits. So what is next? Probably going to get demoted to PT. Already have an appointment with unemployment Tuesday.

That is just wrong that you're penalized like that. This whole crappy picture of how we get treated because of circumstances beyond our control is just not right.

Good for you that you're going to the unemployment office -- you've got plenty of reasons to give them. I hope you get benefits without a hassle.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

so sorry this happened to you.

that cant be right - because

I am in the north region but do not live in the north. Also, the work I do is not in the north, it is from the east. So, I dont think it matters what region they do, I am sure there are people from California in the North region.

Work drying up - old and burned out

[ In Reply To ..]
When I left the office a number of years ago to work at home things were fine for a while and then the work stopped suddenly on a holiday weekend. The regional manager had the nerve to tell me that doctors don't dictate on holiday weekends - only this was an ER account and they probably saw 1000 patients on a 3-day weekend. The lying is outrageous. Shortly after that, however, the hospital pulled its account so even though I lost out, so did MQ.

they probably lost the account because the hospital figured out they were lying about stuff, as we all know they're so good at with all their glossing over of terms, etc., otherwise known as BS in the real world!

yep time and half for whatever work is there today - North MT

[ In Reply To ..]
Of course, here in the North there is nothing so time and half of nothing is still a big fat zero not to mention I have to use my PTO or make up the hours. I hope others are able to get some work in today.

Couldn't work because of no work! - oldmt

I had to take PTO today. Last year I would have had work even if it was accounts from everywhere but today there was not a single job. I just wish they would tell us what the heck is going on.

NJA on holiday - oldmt

I live in Virginia but am in the north region.

I think it's terrible nobody at MQ is answering your questions - MT

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't work for MQ, but follow all the boards. I'm so aggravated for you all that no one at such a large national company is giving you an explanation. How do they get away with not giving you a truthful answer about why there is no work. How do they get away with this when people are paid on production? It's disgraceful.

NO WORK NORTH REGION - JJ

have been only making about $5.00 a day for a couple weeks and for the past 2 days NOTHING. Manager says change hours but when I checked ALL DAY my account had next to nothing in it. Can it be legal to do this to people?

[ In Reply To ..]
Well, oldmt, you know that "truth" is not in their vocabulary and why would they tell us - wouldn't want us all to quit on the same day and leave them stranded. Oh, but I forgot, they've got their backup in India, no worries - ha!!

Here's the deal...my company says if/when you work a holiday, they will give you the equivalent hours in PTO to use later on (you work 8, you get 8 PTO). I checked with my state's DOL, and they said absolutely incorrect. You must be an exempt salaried employee for them to do this. They must pay regular employees cash money. The DOL also said that unless the company is a licensed health care facility in my state, which they are not--they only contract with ...

I generally work every holiday, and most of the time the work is rather low, but today it has been rather brisk. Thinking that I might actually make a decent wage today, I was trying to remember how our holiday pay was set up or if Memorial Day was counted as one of their "holdidays." After searching my own files as well as ENRICH I finally found it: It is. We get the enormous increase of.... wait for it.... 25%! Wow. So, for editing that's just ar ...

Last holiday (Labor Day) I was paid a differential. It is usually time and a half so going by your base you will see an additional line on your paystub of holiday lines: ex. if your base rate is 0.08 you will see holiday pay 0.1200 x 1000 lines. As far as I know, we have not received any notification that we do not get holiday pay. ...

Hi. My CCM sent out an email saying that work loads were going to be low because of the holiday and that we could take PTO for Monday if we wanted. My question is what if you don't have PTO? Does that mean you have to work the holiday or can you still request it off and just not get paid for it? I would ask CCM but she said she would be very busy and wouldn't be able to keep up with emails. Thanks ...

I have always gotten paid time-and-a-half for holiday pay on the Fourth of July, which is one of Medquist's holidays (or so it is listed as and always has been), and was told by CCM we would be paid time-and-a-half for that Monday's work done since even though it wasn't the fourth, it is when it is nationally celebrated. However, on today's paycheck I did not get any holiday pay at all!!! I went back several years to check and I always got paid this way for w ...
