Wondering if many of you have applied for or are collecting partial (sm) - Wondrin


Posted: Feb 14, 2014

unemployment.  This is now the end of 3rd week with production next to nothing.  I have very little time around my schedule to make up time but when I can I still find it very sporadic and so I am reluctant to make time to do that.  Thankfully I was able to go without pay or very little for the first 2 weeks but now I'm worried.  DH has agreed that we could use our tax return to supplement our income and really wants me to just up and quit.  I am miserable and feel beat up by this company.  My resume has been emailed and sent to I don't even know how many places, but I just can't bring myself to quit without something else lined up.  

Am I being targeted or are others still dealing with this NJA situation as well?

Please do not rake me over the coals about calling my whatever she is called these days.  I have been in constant communication and have been given other accts (be careful what you wish for), stupid excuses why we are slow, yadda, yadda.  She also suggested that I change my schedule to work later in the day/early evening, which I was able to do 2 of my days and really has not helped.  I do not wish lay offs on anyone but I would appreciate the respect of that right now. 

Sorry for the vent but I am so frustrated, and friends and family have closed their ears to me when it comes to my job situation:(  

I haven't had much work either this week - have and am collecting partial ue

Very easy to do, you just have a waiting week so make sure you do it quickly.

Has Anyone Applied For Partial Unemployment
Jul 17, 2010

Has anyone applied for partial unemployment and if so, were you able to get it?  All I ever get is NJA and I'll be damned if I am going to use all my PTO or sit by this computer 24/7.  I do not get up and do things as I should - I sit by this computer and constantly log into  DQS.  I must be nuts but MQ made me this way.  Thanks for any info!! ...


Applied For Partial UE But Since I Am Part Time, Same As My Benefit Rate
Feb 19, 2013

They told me the amt I would get is the same as my benefit rate of four hours paid by mmodal so I guess I won't bother.  It seems to be more of a pain than its worth. I will just take the benefit rate times four hours.  Can't live on it but better than nothing. ...


Has Anyone Else Had Problems With Collecting UE.
Mar 06, 2013

I had the unemployment office call and are disputing a lousy 14 bucks, because they don't understand how we get paid.  They can keep it.  I told them the amount of benefit they are offering is so small anyway that nobody can live off of that, but when your pay is so small that is what they base it from.  It is maddening.  I am looking for full time work elsewhere, but nowadays you put in an application online and you don't hear back.  I even went to the unemplo ...

Collecting Unemployment
Apr 02, 2015

IF they fire me for performance management, 3 noncritcal/minor errors in a 6 months time, can I collect unemployment?  I argue the first time right document rule.  Given new accounts (which I have no issue with) but to learn what these mumbling physicians say and then penalized for it is beyond me versus showing me my errors and allowing me to correct and move forward.  You would think a 14 year employee would be given kudos versus threatening termination.    ...

Collecting Unemployment Questions
Nov 02, 2011

I signed up for unemployment , but I am unclear how to collect.  I am allowed so much money per week and we get paid biweekly.  They told me to divide my pay in half, but that does not seem right to me.  I may have work one week and not the next.  I was wondering how others figure it out.  This is my first time filing.  Any tips would be great.  The bills are starting to go unpaid, unfortunately unemployment will help, but not pay all of them. This is horrible ...


Partial UE - Let's Try This Again
Jan 24, 2013

I just got off the phone with our local UE office, and the rep informed me that there's no such thing as partial UE in my state (Louisiana). She advised me to ask you all how you answered certain questions when filing your claims, such as "what was your last work date" and "when were you separated from your employer," etc. In other words, did you have to file a regular UE claim, or does your state provide a separate application process for partial UE? I'd hate to file a claim ju ...


No More Partial UE

Am I correct here that we can no longer collect partial UE because our NJA option for release from work with no pay has been taken away, leaving us ONLY the option to work or take PTO?  How clever of them. ...

Partial Dictations
Jun 22, 2014

I think all dictations at Nuance should be partial dictation worktype. Wtih "partial dictations, you don't have to do as much checking of demographics, figuring out date of service and filling that in, etc., and not having to pend and leave comments so mcuh. I notice I'm about 75 lines faster an hour when it's partial dictations because there's less outside-the-report activity to be done. This is extra activity we dont' even get paid for. After all, MTs are only paid ...

Is It Really Possible To Qualify For Partial Unemployment?
Oct 10, 2010

By year's end, I will have made about half of what I normally make working the same number of FT hours.  I've read suggestions on here to apply for partial UI, which could probably save my behind - I'm not sure how much longer I can pay the rent and not sure where me and kids would go.  However, is it really possible to qualify for that considering the nature of our work, paid by production?  Could'nt it be argued (wrongly so!!) that we just slacked off and did ...


Question On Partial Lines
Jun 05, 2012

Have a couple of questions for those of you who have been with Transcend/Nuance.   I had a very short report the other day and actually counted each character and space. It was only 2 sentences long, so wasn't too much to count, but the total characters divided by 65 was equal to 10.8 lines. My first question is whether there is pay for partial lines? I looked at my matrix after submitting the report and got credit for 10 lines, but there is no decimal and partial lines listed. I ...

Filing For Partial Unemployment

Any advice?  I was shy over 8 hours last week due to OOW (towards end of pay period, so no way to catch it up) and over 10 hours this week now (my last scheduled day was yesterday, and I'll be checking in to see if I can catch up some today on my day off, which won't be 10 hours, of course).   Is there generally a certain number of hours, rate of pay, etc., that one has to be shy of actual scheduled in order to qualify?  I understand it may be different from state to st ...


Is It Possible To Collect Partial Unemployment?
Jan 07, 2014

I've heard this before, but was unable to find anything about it ... I live in Georgia.  I went through all my PTO over the holidays because of NJA, and now it's the beginning of the week and I'm already 4 hours down.  What good does it do to "work" on holidays, when there's never any work?  I guess they just can't stand paying that holiday pay ... I'm so depressed right now and my first check of 2014 that I will get on Friday is going to be horrible. ...

Epic - Partial Dictation Feature
May 11, 2011

I have a client that will be implementing an Epic EMR.  Epic has indicated to them that the providers can dictate a "partial dictation" during a note they are entering.  Epic offers them the option to have the transcriptionist transcribe that note directly into Epic.  So far, I have only been able to find MTSOs and in-house MTs who use the partial dictation feature, but have kept their old software platform (i.e., eScription, Nuance, etc) and the provider dictates into that s ...


Partial Unemployment In New York State?
Sep 06, 2012

Has anyone ever applied for and received partial unemployment in New York state? I looked at their unemployment benefits website and it looks like if you work at all in a day you are considered to have worked that day and you can only get partial unemployment if you work less than 4 days a week?

Weekly Claim Questions For Partial UE
Jul 18, 2013

I just got off the phone with my state's UE office.  I was told that if I work more than 32 hours in a week, I will not receive partial UE for that week.  One of the questions asked when filing for a weekly claim by phone is:   During the week, did you miss work that was scheduled for you?  Answer "YES" if you did not work all of the hours that were available for you with your current employer.   If I "release" myself from work due to NJA, am I missing "work that ...


Punished For Filing For Partial Unemployment?
Jul 28, 2013

I'm thinking about applying for partial unemployment. The only thing holding me back is i'm afraid I will get retalation from the company or even get fired. I'm afraid that I will be out of a job completely without having anything else lined up. I've had maybe 2-3 hours a day of work if i'm lucky for going on a week now, and i'm really worried about paying my bills. I have been applying for other jobs in the meantime as well. I would love to hear anyone's exper ...
