New 6-minute rule-sm - cheated
Posted: Aug 14, 2013
When you get NJA you have the 3 options as we did before. When you choose to "make up time", at the very end of the explaination, it says something along the line of entering a leave request on teamwork for excused no pay?
This only makes sense if in fact you cannot or do not make up the time, but the policy does not explain it that way. Example: You work 2 hours and get NJA. You have 6 hours to make up and can only make up 4. The remaining 2 hours must be entered on teamwork as a leave request with the "excused absense - no pay code" or use PTO, to account for all your scheduled hours. That has been the way I have done it for months now.
Does anyone know who I should address this question to? HR maybe?
what is your question - Old School
[ In Reply To ..]I'd say you understand the situation.
I thought I read it as - sm
[ In Reply To ..]you must put in that you will make up the time..and TSM needs to tell you when to do it. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Well - Old School
[ In Reply To ..]I guess you could wait till the end of the week and then fill in with excused absence no pay for what you didn't get done. Excused absence no pay is really just kind of a place holder, since no pay is involved.
The option of making up time says you must-sm - cheated
[ In Reply To ..]enter a leave request on team work and select excused - no pay code. If you are making up time, you would not need excused - no pay, unless you didnt make up all your time, but it does not say that. Maybe I need to read it again for like the 10th time LOL!!

[ In Reply To ..]Keep them guessing and keep them confused, so they won't know whether or not they're being cheated.
Confused - Anon
[ In Reply To ..]Exactly, keep it vague. Never give a complete straight answer to anything (make it up as you go along).

ESL Rule Of Thumb
Nov 17, 2011
As American-born, English-speaking doctors are becoming the minority, I think all companies should openly state what percentage of ESL will be encountered in a new job and then ask 1 year of experience for each percentage of ESL; e.g. 40% ESL (the maximum I can personally tolerate) 4 years experience plus a differential in the line rate, too. What do y'all think? ...

What Is The New Rule For How Many Days Off Without Pay
Nov 24, 2013
I really don't see what it matters now that we don't get PTO and if we aren't getting paid for it so what. Seems stupid to me that they would care how much time we have off if they aren't paying us anyway but anyone know now the most days you can take for the year part time and full time? I know they took away PTO for part timers and cut it for full time but wasn't sure of the new rules. Also, when does it start over again if you used up your unpaid time off days. ...

Did They Change The Rule About Not Starting A Sentence With A Number?
