Question About Time Clock for Training, etc - MT
Posted: May 20, 2012
Can someone tell me if we physically clock-in for those meeting type things, training, etc., or do we just choose from that dropdown on the left?
Not Trying to be Dumb - But...

I really don't go to many meetings/webinar unless I'm forced, so I really do need to know if I have to physicall punch into the timeclock to read the benefits one, or do I just choose from the drop-down conference call for an option on times.
It has been inconvenient, and maybe a bit confusing at times, to check my time card hours for my shift as, because of my time zone, part of my hours show up on the next day because I work 2nd shift. I wonder if I will get overtime for yesterday, even though I did not work overtime. I had to start work several hours early because of maintenance, so all hours were completed before the hour my hours start showing up on the next day. Fine. But the last couple hours of yesterday show up as today, ...
is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Like I'm going to remember 6 months from now to ask for my PTO in CST time when I am in EST time zone. MQ is the screwiest company I have ever worked for. ...
My company was honest and upfront when we started using ChartNet. They told us that once you enter a report for VR, the time clock does not actually start for 60 seconds. Soooo.... this means if I did 30 reports, I add 30 minutes on my time sheet, right? Nothing was said about this for straight typing on ChartNet. We do both. Does anyone know if the time works the same on VR and straight typing for ChartNet? I have tried researching it, but I can't find a ...
The requirement for ICs to use a time clock is apparently to protect the service from being sued for unpaid labor, right? If you sign in honestly, i.e. whenever you are doing anything for this job with the service, tech tweaking, software installation, training, spreadsheets, research, phone calls, etc., etc., etc., it would put you into overtime and you are fired, right?
I'm just curious if anyone is given written instructions to sign in ONLY when your fingers will be pounding the ke ...
My company has started having us use a time clock now. What happens when we have NJA? Stay on the clock and wait? Keep clocking in and out looking for jobs?
Need advice for those who use a time clock with their company. ...
at least once a day I go to clock out, and it clocks me in again automatically immediately. I then have to wait and clock out again during the next minute or so to make sure that I am indeed officially clocked OUT.
Watch it closely. I don't know what is up. ...
I get paid by the line. I can't understand why they make me stick to 40 hours. I can't get enough lines in in 40 hours to make a decent living wage. Does anyone know of a company (not IC) that just lets me work as much as I want? ...
Lest any of you would like to continue debating whether the "activity" mentioned is legal versus illegal. Transcend paid out MANY thousands for violating the laws you all are talking about and did so around 2006-2007 as did Softscript pay out many thousands MORE around the same time and there are no doubt more violations. I do not encourage you to continue being side tracked by the conflicting posts on this board but am quite confident you all will be. ...
It is my understanding from an attorney that if we are required to sit and wait for the work that is considered time worked. Keystrokes wants us to keep track of ONLY the time spent typing, any time spent NOT typing is NOT considered as time working according to them.
You would have to rack up a lot of time just typing to get in those 40 hours in order to get paid overtime. By the way I have never been paid overtime even after 40 hours and when asked if I would receive it the anwer was ...
The truth is KS is being sued for not paying overtime. KS does not have time records and that is why it is being implemented now. I myself know overtime pay was not offered for anyone taking extra hours on my account. I also have e-mails to that effect. KS has not always paid overtime and if it was given it was to a select few or favorites. At one time gift cards were being given in lieu of overtime on certain accounts, which does not make up for the overtime m ...
Sometimes I miss a punch so I go ahead and punch in when I remember, then go to Card and change it. Well you really gotta watch it because sometimes it will go right back to the original punch time. ...
Okay, I work very, very heavy hours, pushing 2000 to 3000 lines per day. I need more than 8 hours, and 40 hour weeks. How do I get around M*M on this? Do we actually clock in and out? I know they need to cover themselves legally, but I don't want 8 hour days, more like 10 to 12 hour days, 6 days a week. Any thoughts on this plan? ...
Ok, I am wondering something. I work about 10 hours a day because I have back problems so I get up and walk around the house, then back to work. I'm not talking an hour walk around the house, I'm talking maybe 10 minutes tops. So in that 10 hours a day I get maybe 25 hours showing on webclock for the week. I've tried sitting longer and longer periods still at the end of the week I'm showing less hours, though my line count is 6000 and above. Is t ...
If it is going to turn around and bite them in the butt with DOL FLSA complaints? I assume the purpose is to have proof that their employees are are not working overtime, but with so many below minimum wage, can't DOL subpeona the time clock records to prove FLSA violations? Could it be time for all of us to file a complaint with our state DOL for minimum wage violations? I would LOVE to get a check for all the $2.00 per hour days due to lousy dictators, lousy platform, an ...
I'm sure I will get monitored for this. I am not asking for some suit have it in for me.
Because I have run into this so much of the time, I am asking people what they are doing.
1) I approve time card on my day off because that is my day off. Takes about 10 minutes total. Donated time.
2) When I submit an IT ticket and I get a call back that is not when I am ordinarily work, and IT has to remote on to my computer because of some mess they made (and they made the mess), I am clocking in ...
Hi,
I worked for MQ before, and remember how their time clock functioned.
Can someone provide information on how it works now? Are we still expected to clock out when we go to the bathroom?
Do you get locked out of the system outside of your scheduled hours?
Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.
...
Used to work for Transcend and loved that you input your own time card. You could put down 8 hours even if it took you 10 to make your lines/$. Sorry to see employees will now have to use that same stupid clock we all do. Not hard, just a pain in the (&*&. When we were acquired by Nuance we still use our old system with time clock built in and the new one too. Then the reduction in wages. All in all... not a joyful union. My sympathies are ...
Without a doubt, my production downfall has been the advent of being micromanaged and being held to "compliance." I have from day one think it is RIDICULOUS to make professionals clock in, in their own living rooms. I have always worked in spurts...1-2 hours at a time..and then I need a break. I cannot sit for 8 hours...or even time it to two 4 hour shifts and produce. No room for last minute things that come up... Cannot go have lunch with a friend if the opportuni ...
I recently started working for a new MTSO and am employee-status for the first time. We use a time clock. My LPH is half what it should be due to the volume of horrid dictators. When that rare miracle happens and I get all good dictators for an hour my LPH double and meets requirement.
My concern is: How many are fired because they don't meet the required volume for fear of FSLA suits? Is this still happening like it was a year ago?
What can we do when the l ...
I am looking for info for a friend who is interested in the field.....I myself got into IC'ing after taking general allied health courses in my college days and many years of on the job experience...not to mention mentoring from a friend. However I realizse not everyone does it this way.....My question is how does someone with no background get started and what is the usual time frame for getting certified. ...
So, have you heard that Keystrokes is going to a "time clock" system in August? If this really goes through, this may be the straw...
I have put up with all the other stuff going on there. I constantly help out on other accounts as well as getting my own work done. But, if I have to punch a clock, when I have been able to flex for 4 years, I don't think I'm gonna do it! First off, there is no way I can sit for 8 hours straight. I get my work done in 4 hours or so and then ...
I've tried to sort through bajillions of posts (or so it seems) about TRCR requiring MLS to only clock the time w/ their hands on the keyboard, and I have a couple of questions.
1) If this is an issue w/ you, are you not making the $ reqiored for the ppd, yet you're working your required hours?
2) Do you run out of work regularly (I'm not talking the last day or two of the ppd)?
Just curious. I'm not a suit. I'm just relatively new and I'v ...
Can you help me? I have a Operative Report, the doctor dictates o'clock.
Do I type "of the clock", since contractions are not supposed to be typed?
Thanks
