This is my plan- - mt
Posted: Aug 28, 2013
I will check for work during my schedule. Work it if possible, if not, just use the no wrk excused absence comment. I am not going to work around the clock to try and make it up. Ridiculous. If you want to, that is okay, but seems crazy to ask people to do this. Why don't the supervisors/TSMs have a call about this. We get an email, but never anyone to tell us directly about a change. I just cannot believe that they expect employees to try and make up the time.
it's surprising - with their legal advisors
[ In Reply To ..]that they would attempt something so blatantly illegal.
I'm staying punched in and logged in, after my 6 minutes. - they can pay me makeup pay
[ In Reply To ..]I'm not working any other shift. I'm not working any other days. I will punch out for my 6 minutes, file ticket as demanded, and log right back in and sit on my duff till a job comes in. They can pay me the balance to minimum wage or give me work!
I like that! - mt
[ In Reply To ..]Yes, your line count will suck- mine does too with the terrible dictators, and at least you will get paid for scheduled hours. Seems fair. That is what you agreed to work.
Why - would
[ In Reply To ..]you do that, just file for unemployment and sign up for TAA. Why would you stay at your computer?
can we still do that though? - supposed to get 40 hours
[ In Reply To ..]come hell or high water we are supposed to get our time in so how can you still file? I'm wondering what MM will do though if we just can't get our time in. Will they take our PTO? Take away our benefits? Put is in "performance management?" Fire us?
They - may
[ In Reply To ..]do all the above, but I don't care, I'm not staying at my computer 24/7. I don't know all the specifics but TAA will help you with your benefits. People need to get signed up for it even if you don't want to go to school.
you can't sign up unless laid off or not getting hours in - sm
[ In Reply To ..]You must be laid off, which I'm not, or not getting enough work do to offshoring, which now I am no thanks to them laying off other employees. Its not just for all of us.
It - will not
[ In Reply To ..]last long though. I'm still out of work even after the layoffs. After the last batch, I had work for a few weeks, then gone again. If you have been out until just now, I would still sign up.
There's this little thing called "overtime". - And "engaged to wait." (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]You're contracted to work an 8-hour shift, 40-hour week. If they can't give you enough work to fill that shift, it's THEIR problem, not yours. If they want you plugged-in and engaged-to-wait for more than 8 hours, just to type a few more lines, then they'll have to pay you for it. It's as simple as that. The only reason they've been getting away with this illegal practice is we've all been scardey-cats, sitting there letting them do that to us. I think we've pretty much reached the point of nothing left to lose, don't you think? I know I have little to lose. Might get fired? Too bad. I'd make more getting unemployment, so let them fire me. It would also give me more free time to do a proper, full-on job hunt for another form of employment. Or to go back to school.
They're preying on our fears when they tell us to flex our hours (24 hours a day?) and MUST meet some bogus line count "minimum" in order to remain employed. If they don't have enough available work to make meeting said minimum achievable, then that rule is pretty much null-and-void, isn't it?
They can't have it both ways. Either they send - me the work, or they can pay me (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]for the time I'm required to sit here waiting for it to dribble in. Not having enough work to do gives me a whole lotta time to document to the Nth degree. And I'm doing just that. I document every flippin' minute. I also refuse to alter my time sheet anymore, just so they can get out of making up the difference if the crumbs they toss my way don't add up to minimum wage. Minimum wage is the LAW in this country, and it's time they started abiding by it.
So they might fire me? Hah! They can be my freaking guest. All my documentation is in order, ready and waiting for a little trip to my friendly local Labor Board office.
Either OR, MTSOs. Either OR.

With New Plan STM Stated 35% Of Our Team Would C Increase With New Comp Plan
Dec 04, 2014
This means 65% will see decrease and/or paid minimum wage. They are touting this as the great new comp (local Burger King is advertising job for $10/hour). Anyone find out if the QC percentage is just for blanks or include all sent to QA including Audio issues, etc, and will EQA be included. Also, trying to figure out our pay from week to week is going to be a pain. I am going to see how this new comp plan works out, but since the conference call, I'm not feeling pos ...

New Pay Plan...cant We....sm

Cant we all write the guys who are on the e-mail we all got if in fact this turns out to be something bad? Flood their emails and desks? Ya know its too bad we cant get together 500+ MLS and go on strike... I would do it. If a ton of us went on strike and demanded fair wages and changes, with noone typing their reports for 48+ hours I think they'd listen. It kind of sounds like the pay will be the same even if they lower the base..... b/c if they lower the base rate but you get a tad extra ...
New Pay Plan...? Sm
Nov 30, 2014
Sounds like they are taking out the LPH requirements? Or am I the only 1 thinking this? Sounds like they take out the requirement for LPH. Now your lines may drop due to focusing more on QA/blanks/rereading,etc. Normally that would lower your lines and lower your pay. Now it will lower your lines BUT you will send less to Q and have less mistakes so your pay will ultimately stay the same. This is how I am taking all of this. The only thing I am not getting is if we are going to have a base ...

Even Though I Will Do Well With This New Pay Plan,
Dec 13, 2014
The abuse and the stress have gone beyond the pale. The people who put together this pay plan have no idea what it is like to work in the trenches. We have taken pride in our work and have loved the field of medical transcription, but they have made us hate it. They have caused us to make more mistakes. We are not focused on what we are doing at any given moment; we are focused on our overall scores and thinking about how we're going to make enough money to buy winter boots for our children ...
New Changes In Pay Plan
Feb 09, 2015
Did anybody get the email about the changes they are making. We have longer time to request a reversal (big deal - they never approve them so really????) and now they can QA us for our 2 weeks rather than our 1 weeks which in my opininon just gives them more time to pick apart which ones they want to check and find their errors to total up!!! That is great idea. ...

PTO With Pay Plan Question
Dec 30, 2010
Does anyone know if the PTO we see as of today in teamwork is the correct remaining PTO for the rest of the year? I was not sure if the pto we used previously in the period ending 12/26 is reflected in the current PTO in teamwork yet. This is confusing me since we will get a 12/31 paycheck. I know pto will not accumulate until next year but it looks like to me I did not lose any PTO even since taking a few hours ending the 26th. any clues out there? ...

Well, I Know Transcription Is Going Away But What I Plan To Do Is
Jan 06, 2013
just continue to take what I can get until there is nothing left. If it means working here and there I guess that is what I will do. As far as coding, MModal is advertising everywhere for coding people and I can assure you they are training coders and that work will be heading overseas as well so why bother. They will keep the rates low and there wont be any money in that either. I guess the only way to even try to survive in transcription is take what you can get unless ...

I got a job with a small local MTSO. The pay is only fair, and there's no PTO, but there's also no VR and my insurance is free (not for my family though). The owner and I both know that the days of MT are dwindling but we are going to ride it out till the end. The beautiful part is her office also does coding and billing. Not the really indepth inpatient coding, of course, but office stuff. She knows I want to learn how to do that so when the MT work is go ...

Can someone please explain to me this new email we all got this afternoon about the new pay compensation plan rolling out in December? Can anyone explain it a bit more in detail.

Sounded like to me it will be based on quality and working weekends/nights, etc. Is this something good? Email wasn't in detail too much and a little hard to read.

New Pay Compensation Plan
Dec 01, 2014
Since 2012, when Nuance "officially" took over the company I was with, they following has been very consistent. 1) Cut pay, then offer some type of carrot (incentive, bonus) to help us "make up" the loss in line rate. QA us to death for any little error, calll it a major error or a critical error to lower our quality score so that we cannot make 'incentive' or 'bonus.' If we do re-read the reports in order to bring quality scores up, our lines go down, and then it is a sum z ...

This probably won't be a very popular thing but, for myself, I'm going to wait and see before I get all bent out of shape about it. I know that Nuance is not famous for doing good things for the MLS, but still, speculating and having us all being paid minimum wage before the fact is not helping us. It only increases our stress levels. I don't have any inside news or anythin ...

If Nuance believes this is cutting edge, I hope they still feel like this when everyone cuts out at once. How will they ever hire anyone new again. Would you take a job where they can't tell you exactly your rate of pay? Unbelievable. Now it's really apparently why they've been hiring and advertising for all these newbie MLS. They figure, this will be the "new nor ...
