NJA policy on MQCentral - need help finding sm - j.

Posted: May 31, 2011

Can someone point me to the actual policy on MQCentral regarding NJA? I can't find it and I would like to review it. I thought it would be under Policy and Process, but I haven't seen anything.

Thanks!

MT news and information on the left side of MQ Central, then MT information, then rewards and benefits, then MT work availability policy and procedures. I cannot get the page to open, but that is where it is.

Thank you so much. I just found it and I can't get it to open either. ughhhhh.

I guess they dont want us to know what to do - when they have no work

I know we are supposed to fill out a Q-care ticket and wait 15 minutes, but I was told previously not to be punched in when not working, so I really dont know. Then we are supposed to be paid downtime for those 15 minutes, but that is hit or miss. I think it is up to your CCM to add this in, if they feel like it. Then you either have to make up the time, take PTO, or take no pay. I would love it if any of the higher ups had to take no pay when we are out of work also, because then they would change this stupid policy.

the 15 minutes (and punch out after the 15 minutes) so there is documentation that you waited 15 minutes and get paid your state's minimum wage for those 15 minutes. Whoever told you not to be punched in was wrong.

Word was cut off - should read... - sm

You are supposed to be punched in when you're waiting the 15 minutes...

no you are not - bj

No, you are not! Your supervisor adds the 15 minutes to your timecard that way you get paid for those 15 minutes. You are TOTALLY giving out wrong information!!!!

Wow. Why so emphatic and - hostile? sm

The poster is not TOTALLY giving out wrong information.

Some CCMs have asked their MTs to be punched in for the 15 minutes so that the code is the only thing that the CCM has to manipulate (moot point now since MTs are able to change the code/edit punches themselves for the 15 minute work availability).

It's MQ. Not every BoB has the same policies for sure.

that is not correct - bj

You definitely do NOT punch in while you wait 15 minutes. You are giving out the WRONG information. Please check with your supervisor and she will give you the correct info about tht.

We were also told to be punched in for the 15 minute period, then punch out, get your ticket number and either punch back in for 15 minutes, wait a bit and check again for work or be released from your shift. But you ARE supposed to be punched in.

then you need to check with - bj

Then you need to check with your regional director because that is not how it works. Think about it? That would be messing up your PTO amount time that they factor in every 6 months or whenever they do it. It would bring down your hourly wage that you get paid for PTO. Please check with higher ups as that is not correct at all.... and I am definitely positive about this!!

plus, it makes it - bj

[ In Reply To ..]
Plus, it makes it look like you are stealing time when you have no work. They check to make sure the time you are clocked in matches the time that you are working and if that is not correct to a certain degree then you will be performance managed which means minimum wage pay until you get back off performance mgmt.

NJA policy - a1typist

I just got in trouble for this last week, so I know what I am talking about. I usually get a ticket # through QCare then clock out without pay. My supervisor told me I had to stay clocked in waiting for work for those 15 minutes or I would not be paid the minimum wage rate for those 15 minutes. They go in and alter the type of pay, i.e. production time, but we are supposed to stay clocked in, which I refuse to do. If they want to pay me my regular rate to sit and wait for work, fine, but otherwise no bananas.

....aaand this is why I'm trying to find the written policy. LOL nm - j.

Copied and pasted from e-mail from CCM:

It is very simple.

1. Get NJA.

2. Clock out.

3. Clock IN

4. Wait 15 â�� now no work comes - Clock out

5. Open ticket- get number, leave alert on that 15 minute â��clock.â��

OR

1. Get NJA.

2. Clock out

3. Clock IN

4. Wait 15 â�� work comes â�� just keep typing.

how do you leave an alert now? - with new teamwork?

[ In Reply To ..]
Also, you are saying to go out of DQS completely, punch out of teamwork, punch back in to teamwork, go back to DQS and log in, wait logged in and punched in for 15, log back out of DQS, punch back out of teamwork, and then do Q Care ticket?

All of this for minimum wage which is roughly 1.80 for that 15 minutes, in... out... in... out... in... out... mail, wait... in... out... mail... CRAZY!

This is how I've always done it... - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Punch into teamwork, log into DQS, no jobs, wait 15 minutes, log out of DQS, punch out of teamwork. Then, log into Qcare self-service and fill out NJA page and either choose to take PTO, make time up or take time off without pay. CCM will get an email regarding this QCare you filled out and will got into your teamwork and make changes so you get paid (your state min wage) for your 15 minutes of wait time with NJA and depending on your choice will take off your PTO, contact you when to make up time or mark you as taking time off without pay. This is what I have always done and my CCM agrees and does it this way.

Only MQ could have all of us with opposite opinions about what to do when we get NJA!

That is EXACTLY how it is done ... With the addition that my CCM told me when you go to self-service get your Ticket # and place it in the alert on your timecard -- You also can now change your production hours to Work Availability all by yourself... Please whoever asked the question first do it like this -- it is the right way. It is how I do it too and it is how it is in the policy for NJA (look under Work Availability - I "think" that is where I found it)

Anon- your CCM is nuts - why all the clocking - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
in and out, that's ridiculous. MQ needs to clarify NJA process with MTs and CCMs!

I found it on MQ Central under human resources department. On the left side of the screen click on policies. Then on the right side under "HR policies for all employees" click on "MT Work Availability Policy and Procedure" which is about the eight link from the bottom of that list.

This is ridiculous. We are told that to get the measley 15 mins on our time for NJA to get ticket, send Email and put in Schedule Source timesheet alert to manager message. Do NOT stay logged in to check for jobs. Now quite frankly half the time I cannot even get QCare to come up, and definitely MQCentral on the My Community part is asinine acting. I do clock out when getting NJA, but sometimes I have stayed in DQS to see when jobs come in. S ...

So help me understand this "new" policy. Are we taking a cut in what we accrue for PTO? I have over 15 years with this company and find it hard to believe longevity/loyalty do NOT count. So as I read it, the person that started yesterday will accrue at the same rate as me? "full time employees will accrue 0.059 hgours of PTO for each paid hour up to a maximum of 4.62 hours acrrued in a pay period." HUH? Not real clear to me. So we only get 4.62 hours per pay period?

I would love to know how people are handling this new NJA policy. As I understand it, if we get NJA during our work schedule, we are supposed to keep checking back for work through our shift. We are allowed to work at any time up until midnight to get in our hours for the day without approval. I really think if they have no work during your shift, they should pay your benefit rate for the hours there is no work. I know some states have this, but mine does not. It just does not seem rig ...
