when, you don't have any work. I work in California and the huge hospital account I was on, is gone. I am forced to use my PTO (not my idea) and I am about out. When I want to take time off, there won't be any left. Can I apply for partial unemployment? I know each state is different and I have read that some MTs have done. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks in advance.
why on earth are you using PTO to cover time when - there is no work?

That is not acceptable. If you CCM told you that you have to, he/she is wrong. If you run out of work, do their protocol (punch out, wait 15 minutes, punch in, fill out Qcare ticket, get ticket number, e-mail copy of no work request to personal e-mail, and while in the Q care ticket, choose RELEASE WITH NO PAY), and then file for unemployment. I know several who have received partial unemployment even while they worked due to the down times.
You save that PTO for a vacation from work!!!
Exactly. That's what I did when I was FT. I did - Kiki

had to drop to PT (getting too much NJA anyway) and now I am still getting NJA sometimes and wonder if you can apply for partial unemployment if you are only part time?
I would ask, might be different in some states, but - my friend did at part time

Maybe if enough people stopped using their PTO and applied for unemployment, the company would stop over-hiring to keep their instantaneous turn-around times and learn how to staff properly.
I think I was working on the same account you were - anon

Since the account left, I've worked on helper poolings every single day and my income has dropped in half. I'm already on Food Stamps - there is really not much further down I can go.
sorry for your loss - MT Gone

After Spheris was sold out to Q I ended up going to PT so I could work another job more hours/better pay part time. Then another pay cut, my account went away (just like yours) and I was fortunate enough to be in the decision process of whether to take a full time job offer from my other employer. The day my account disappeared I FINALLY read the writing on the wall. I worked a 3-day notice and left. Just figured "here's your sign" at that point. So I know what you mean, and judging from where your income has gone am reasonably sure I decided correctly. Best of luck to you.
why dont you ask to get transferred so you dont have - to be in helper pools
[ In Reply To ..]
I know they do that to several MTs, however, there are also several MTs who work on 1 or 2 accounts. This is just totally unfair.
They need to do away with these "helper pools" and give us set accounts.
How can they expect good quality work when they have - "helper pools", sounds like

a cesspool to me. I thought they had done away with that?
It is unfair to the MT and the client to have that many different people working on their account.

I know how to find my PTO balance; but, how do you find out what it was at different dates previously, or if you even can. My PTO balance hasn't changed in over a month.
If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

How do I correct an incorrect logoff time in schedule source (cable was down for 2 hours). I've searched MQCentral but only got a blank page under "policies."
I've gone to timesheet, clicked on clock, highlighted the incorrect time, red-flagged it, but I don't know how to change the incorrect time. Maybe I should just leave a note in the box and CCM will fix it?
Thanks guys!
