Why should we fill out no work tickets now? - latest email

Posted: Aug 15, 2013

Perusing the latest TSM diatribe too many work tickets means we need to change our schedule to one more fitting the needs of the accounts. Also if we fill out a work ticket we are not allowed to finish our current shift, we are done for the day. If we choose to make up those hours it has to be from a list of available shifts. So for the 50 cents or so I would get from filling out a work ticket why would I purposefully put a target on my back regarding schedule changes, end my shift prematurely for the day and subject myself to working at the TSM's whims? Someone was looking for what stinks about the policy, this is it. No reason at all to even bother filling out a ticket.

On my accounts, when I start out there's very little work, then it warms up a little, and then it peters out again. I decided to wait till that second lull to put in my ticket. Then at least I can get a little work in.

but, doesnt the policy say that after 6 minutes, you - must fill out remedy ticket?

I'm assuming if you don't, they can fire you for not following policy.

And, why cant you check back after a half hour if you choose make up work? You can keep checking during your shift, just anything not done when your shift ends has to be at tsm's choice.

released for the day according to TSM - latest email

I only wish we could check back during our shift but our TSM made it pretty clear that we are released for the shift. And you are correct about the "must" in the policy. I need to rethink my strategy.

So again I wonder, why even have schedules if we are not going to be allowed to work them after 6 minutes of downtime?

email from our TSM says you can check for work - during your shift....

you just cannnot claim WA again as you can only claim it once per shift.

CHALLENGE the new Out of Work Policy at MModal - Feenixrising

I was terminated today so I feel comfortable expressing what I believe is grounds for a class action suit. (I personally think they let go of people making the top of their pay scale so they could bring in cheaper labor.) Does any one think the new OOW policy should be challenged? Forced to give up PTO, excused absences or make up at their discretion? Were/Are we employees or not? If interested please contact. If you were let go, file for unemployment NOW!!!!

I am part time, top of pay, and still here - blown theory

How can you fight any reason they give for termination though? Its at will employment. They don't need a reason. That said, they are getting rid of all non mme employees and they are doing it for cheaper labor, india cheap. Still nothing to fight, the government allows offshoring!

I used to get a ticket # generated and emailed to me when I had NJA. I haven't gotten any sent to me lately. Did they stop emailing us the ticket # and only give them to the CCM now? I've forwarded my NJA support email to my CCM, but no response coming there either. I don't see the excused missed time logged anywhere on Schedule Source either. Did I miss an email about this procedure and how it's logged? I'm a bit confused. ...

Obviously, even though the classification is urgent, they just pass NJA tickets through and don't even try to find any work when requested. Since no one, i.e. a CCM or RTL, covers second and third shift, these shifts have no chance of getting more work - even though I can see there is a large amount of days' late jobs in an account I have done before (as a 'helper') and I put that information on the NJA ticket and stated that I wanted work. NJA Remedy tickets are a usel ...

I work every weekend, and since Christmas there has been little to no work on the weekends. I tried to do remedy tickets, but the date automatically advances to the upcoiming Monday date, and if I type the date in manually, it gives me an error... and then shows a calendar to chose a date, but all the weekend days are grayed out. I asked my supervisor about this since I am eligible in my state to get compensated for at least 1 hour of pay, and she tells me you CAN do this, but that w ...

Okay, dictator is terrible. Had to send to QC. Please tell me how QC can fill in the blanks. NO WAY. I have been doing transcription for a long time. Why can they guess at what is said and we can't. If it isn't 100% clear, it should be left blank. QC shouldn't be able to fill in what the doctor "usually" says. If you can't hear it, DON'T FILL IT IN. Maybe if they got all of their reports back they would try to do a be ...

Someone please set me straight if I'm wrong, but it is even possible for a child (or anyone) in any case to have a hematocrit of 340? A dictator said: "hemoglobin 15, hematocrit 340" It really sounded like he said 340 but that didn't sound right to me, so I left a marker. But it was filled in with 340. I could have done THAT. I guess I could be wrong--but in my 10 years as an MT the hematocrit is always just about 3 times the hemoglobin (which ...

Well here we go again, fill in the gaps games in our POD. Nope, no way, and if they change my schedule one more time to any later in the day, I'm gone. Done playing their games. Hire more people, stop demanding mandatory OT, and give actual bonuses and this would not be a problem. P.S. Don't expect me to cover other "groupings" gaps. I already work the weekend and late Friday night (still working), only have 1 full day off a week. No threats to "chan ...
