Oh Goodie! Incentive! No Thanks!

how many times I clicked the mouse while doing ASR last week and how many minutes I was idle in a document. Gee, could it be that I was looking up a word or checking on a previously dictated document in order to complete the document I was working on in order to produce a good report with no holes? If I want to click my mouse I'll click my mouse! Oh yes, the good news is the e-mail said that I could attend an online class so I can learn how to be more productive and use the "hot ...

ie, the shadow mentoring. They say their methods have been effective in increasing ASR production. We will see... The one good thing is they will get to see exactly how much I have to correct their ASR! It might be more educational for them than me. :) I use all the short cuts provided, but I do listen to every single word. ...

Whenever we are asked to help, there is no incentive offered. I never thought of it at all, until I started reading some random posts below about getting incentive. Hmmm I always let them know I am happy to help, was that dumb of me to say that? Did I screw myself out of ever getting an incentive? or maybe not all companies offer it to begin with. oh well. ...

which I would never know since I can't get into MQ Central, then why have I had NJA for the past half hour? Who comes up with these bright ideas??? What a joke! ...

The way it looks to me, they give me a target to hit over 4 days, which (I don't need the particulars of how they arrived at it, but I get them anyway) pretty much reflects my daily average. Okay so now I work all day today, tomorrow, Sunday and Monday, making my average each day and THEN, at the end of Monday, if I'm able to get in another 100 lines, I will get 3 cents for those 100 lines??? So I work all day on my two days off for 3 dollars? Have I got that straight ...

Ok guys having a brain fart......I know it is incentive weekend or whatever, but does that mean they want you JUST to work your regular hours or are you to do OT if at all possible. ...

Check e-mail. Two-day incentive in place due to high backlogs. (Only after you hit an impossible number though.) ...

Just like they did last year and I think the year before that. They will have pretty much an incentive every week to get the backlog all pristine, whether or not there is a lot of work. Because of this, if you participate in trying to reach this incentive, your goal each time will be higher and higher, to the point of unreachable. Dirty tricks. ...

First, let me say I have 30 years experience as a MT, but this is my first experience with editing. That said, I hate editing except it does give my arms a break. I can maintain 99% QA and low QC score. What I can't do is a zillion lines per hours. I used to make well over $40,000/year before internet came into this field and then the editing. This year I'll be luckly to make over $2?,000 which just sucks. The incentive plan is just plain stupid. It ...

What exactly is this incentive thing? I just know it's used in the same sentence as "they're may be NJA" in the email I got! ...

I've put in an application for an SR job at a company but just found out they don't offer an incentive for SR work. Is that the norm or not? Seems like a pittance to work for 0.045 CPL and no incentive, but new to SR and I'm not sure what the standard is in the industry. Any info appreciated. Thank you. ...

I really need some help. I am having trouble trying to prove my case to my manager. I have not been receiving my incentives for a few weeks and today I started doing some research to figure out what is going on. Turns out when I enter the dates in fiesa, I show a totally different percentage than what they show when I go to approve my timecard. I talked to my manager and she cannot give me a straight answer. All I need to know is where is it documented about&nb ...

Well I just approved my lines for last week and noticed a weekly incentive bonus. I must say I was pleasantly surprised, so either I am missing something or we may end up actually being fairly happy with this new program. Thoughts? ...

WOW! So if you normally work Thursday thru Saturday you are required to work 5 hours of OT to receive it. Don't know about you but 13 hours is too much for me. ...

Okay so here we go. In the past my boss has said that the incentive does not mean that OT is approved. Three weeks ago she said that since it was an incentive then we all could work extra. Then two weeks ago said that OT is not automatically approved during an incentive. Now she states, "I know all of you are worried about there not being work in our group because of the incentive, but it is there. Since there is an incentive go ahead and take advantage of it as much as y ...

This is getting to be a regular thing. Barely enough work to go around in my BOB as it is! ...

Below under the incentive topic it was mentioned that the incentive will not be paid until Jan 10th... but on the email at the very end it states "The incentive payout for this program will be paid no later than January 10, 2010." So does that mean that it very well could be on the Christmas paycheck and they just don't no yet? Thanks! ...

I work in-house doing radiology transcription, mostly VR. The pay is hourly and there is no overtime on our job but there is also no incentive. I'm trying to cut my expenses to have extra money but its tough. I would like to work an extra few hours to save for vacation/a better running car/other purchases. Is there something wrong when a company does not offer incentive for MTs or should I be "just thankful for having a job when so many people are out of work in ...

I like how they try to make this seem great. It's probably no better or worse than we were before with the monthly incentives. When I got that email that said "line rate change" I really thought it was another pay cut. I tried to figure how much the increase would be. I figured that the raise would give me 7 cents more per hour or about 56 cents a day? That can't be correct, although considering who we are dealing with.....maybe it is? How do you figure exactl ...

With the weekend incentive, is OT automatically approved? Can't get a response from CCM. ...

Our company has decided to quit paying incentive for work over our standard. They say all the other companies and hospitals are stopping this. Has anyone else lost their incentive pay? ...

Same old yada, yada, yada. It seems like they set my minimum at too many lines for me to ever achieve it so I don't even try. BUT did you read the towards the bottom of the email where it says that the payout is Nov 25 EXCEPT for former spheris employees who will get their incentive $$ ON OR BEFORE NOV 5!!??? This is not fair. But then, when is this company ever fair. ...

I'm unsure if my math is correct, but this is what I got. I average about 300 lines an hour for my 8-hour shift. In order to reach the cap over the 4 days, I would need to type 16,666 lines above my normal line count. That would be 4167 lines extra a day. In my case, at 300 lph, that would be almost 14 more hours I would have to work daily on top of my normal 8. I suppose 1 hour to sleep and 1 hour for eating and potty breaks a day is all I need, right?& ...

The usual unreachable goal they give me for these incentives is 8882 lines over a 4-day weekend, and now they want 16,499 lines before they will pay me 5 cents a line above and beyond? I hope that is a typo, or someone is truly insane. Of course, I never go for the incentives anyway since they are always out of reach, but I do take advantage of the ability to work some overtime. I wonder when they will realize that uping the line rate is not going to work to get more work done ...

Does anyone know when we are getting our incentive from Nuance? ...

I am wanting to submit a proposal to my company owner about implementing an incentive-based pay scale to help with some issues we are having with people not working consistently and to reward those who are putting in overtime, etc. I am having a hard time finding any information on this as far as like a sample scale. As far as I understand it you make your base pay say for example 7 cpl for the first x lines, then for the next y lines you make an additional 0.025 cpl and so on up the line... If ...

I started a new job at the beginning of September, but I don't think I'll be there much longer mainly due (1) lack of work on my account lately, and (2) it turns out I really don't like having to punch in and out and stick to a schedule. But another thing, which doesn't factor (as much) into my desire to leave this company, is their so-called incentive plan. Check this out and tell me if this would really spur you on to type extra lines: First 2000 lines above minimum 12,0 ...

Oh Goodie! Incentive! No Thanks! - Daisy
