Okay people, if you were in the middle of your shift, or you could not sign on for your shift, make sure you filed a Q-care ticket and notified your CCM. Mine has been sending E-mails throughout the day stating that she KNOWS that DQS is still down even though it shows a green light. By Medquists own Policy description for downtime for ME/MTs, this definitely qualifies. Go to MQ Central Home page---Human Resources---policies. At the bottom of the page there is a link called Downtime pay for employees and click on it. I will be cutting and pasting this into an e-mail to my CCM and insisting on downtime pay. We cannot be made to "make up" this time by any means. If they want to pay me above and beyond this to help pitch in if and when I feel like it okay, but unless I see pay for downtime, I will not be making up this time.
