Vacation time approval???!?! - Nene
Posted: Jul 28, 2012
How long does it take to get approval for a leave request? It's been over a week now and my request is still unapproved. Sheesh!
I've had one pending for months - downtime

I've already bought my plane ticket and made my reservations.

Yep, me too. Have you said anything to your CCM? My CCM has stepped down and we now have an interim one. I guess I need to email her. I will do that next week.

Ohhhhhhhh THAT! Well, it's not about them and a one of them or their favorites may need that day/time off, it's not important enough to them to click approved/not approved, they get so many emails a day and you expect them to deal with you having relaxation? Pick any of the above for your answer. haha
I read somewhere eons ago that approval (can't find it now) does not have to be given more than 7 days ahead. So, for Turkey Day, approval should have been given by yesteray. Approval for Xmas should be given by 12/18. ...
By now haven't we normally been asked via email to go in and approve our time card??? Either I haven't gotten an email, missed it, or they haven't sent one out yet. ...
how do they handle you being sick, etc, when you are an IC? Do you get PTO? It has been so long since I was an IC I do not remember. I'm thinking you get nothing and are able to take off whenever you need to. ...
I know this is a dumb question but how do you know how many hours you still have available for vaca? Is it the number under "Balance" in Teamwork?
Thanks! ...
Has anyone received an answer to their requests to take time off before 12/31? I have sent in numerous requests and have heard nothing at all. Just wondering if maybe my emails are not going through. ...
How do you handle this???
I have a few clients that don't tell me when they will not be in the office and then right before they go away everything becomes a STAT. How can I make them understand that without them being there I am losing time and money and that if I knew I could have made alternate plans.
Any advice would be great!

"Accrual rate of 0.02 per production hour."
I guess I am stupid but I don't know what this means. 0.02 what? hours?
Also, does it say anywhere, like on our paystub, how much vacation time we have accrued to date?
TIA! ...
Just great. Even though it says on their little line count thing that I do 488 lines per hour, benefit rate goes down $3.00 an hour. I didn't do that many before so what gives MM? ...
So, what happens if your CCM can't figure out how to do the edits on your timecard because you work graveyard, won't answer your phone calls or emails about the error and you can't approve your timecard? ...
Of all the MQ employees here scheduled to work on Saturdays, has anyone been approved to have off Christmas Day? I put in my request exactly 60 days ahead of time (since we can't do it before that) and have yet to hear anything. My CCM, who is pretty good about responding to e-mails, has not responded to me when I questioned whether I've been approved.
So, my question is, has ANYONE gotten the OK to take off Christmas?
...
Hi folks, can someone tell me where the approval button is to approve the hours you have worked in the new schedule format? I have looked for it, but can't find it anywhere. Thanks. ...
Has anyone had a situation where your manager refused to approve your timesheet? If yes, what happened? My TSR or CCM or whatever they call themselves these days sent me an e-mail. Apparently she's ticked because my timecard reflected 1.45 hours OT. My BIG mistake. ...
I can hardly sit here to work wondering how much money I'm going to lose from last week. Before: average 10,000 lines of VR/week @0.413 per line = $413 PLUS weekly incentive averaging $100+/week = $513/week which I can live with.
Last week - noting how many reports were ripped by FIESA, figuring without QC/QA scores - 10,000 lines, now 5000 lines x 0.07 = 350.00 with no weekly incentive = I NEED A NEW JOB. ...
you've won the weekly Nuance lottery or if your weekly pay has been penalized into oblivion! THAT's the exciting new change they've been talking about! ...
The request is only a week old, for a week off at the end of June. I have to make a non-refundable deposiit as soon as possible, as beach houses are going quickly. Do you think it is permissible to ask TSM to approve it ASAP? How long does it normally take to get approval? ...
This question is for anybody who has switched accounts and qualified for the 25 percent incentive for 30 days. Can you please tell me if this incentive shows up in the Webclock weekly line approval. I cannot remember if it shows up there but do not want to approve later if it is supposed to be there (I am not seeing it now, but have also not seen the e-mail about approving lines yet). Thank you. ...
Been off for a week and I am having a heck of a time trying to convince myself to sit back in this chair and do it again. I keep trying the 'ol "at least it's a job speech," but I sure don't want to do this after being gone for a week. That is sad because I used to like what I do. Now it is worse than sitting in the dentist's chair having teeth pulled - at least that is temporary and you get to get up after an hour or two.
But I did miss you guys and am gla ...
How does everyone out there handle vacations? If you have your own accounts, not using independent contractors because the load of work is perfectly manageable ... until you want a week off?? Looking for a good way to take a vacation but still stay in business and keep accounts happy!! ...
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/medquist-awarded-court-approval-as-stalking-horse-bidder-for-domestic-assets-of-spheris-85356647.html
Wow, court okayed and approved for MQ to go ahead and bid on April 13, for Spheris.
Plus MQ is coming out with their own EPIC and it causes 70% less dictation. EXPECT NO JOBS AVAILABLE COMING SOON. Also expect getting picked on with your job audits because they want to fire most of us and just keep the BEST OF THE BEST which I h ...
Which is correct:
This meets with the patient and family’s acceptance and approval.

This meets with the patient's and family’s acceptance and approval.
This is something he says all the time, and it sounds like he says it both ways.

I put in a request on Teamwork for my vacation about a month and a half ago. It still has not been approved. Are we supposed to email CCM with vacation request also? What is the point of all of these functions on Teamwork if you still have to email CCM for approval? Just an extra step thats a waste of time. Anyone know? ...
I've been in this business for 30 years, but am under employed at the moment and am starting to get bored to tears with having so little work to do. But, it seems that all of the ads that I see are looking for full time transcriptionists.
Surely there must be some companies or MTSOs somewhere who would need an MT to help with part time or per diem work, to help with vacation coverage or maybe for temporary work just to help clear up an occasional back log and such. But, d ...
I was wondering how it's done. I have two days a year when I'm not available to work because of a family reunion. Since most of the fun doesn't start until after 12 but we have to be there very early because of the committees we're on, I hate to waste that time doing nothing when I could be working.
My company does not allow satellite. Is this the only way it can be done? If not, what are the required items besides a laptop?
Thanks in advance ...
