Anyone been told when new plan unveiled? - sm
Posted: Nov 29, 2014
Not just our opinions, but surely someone has been told by their TSM or TL or whatever when the roll out will be.
I think we should all bombard our TSMs every day with questions about when we find out. If each of us does this 5 days a week perhaps they will realize we are serious about needing to know.
I am going to start doing this and will be sure and let my TSM know the reason I am so anxious is because I am holding onto another job that I can just flip over into on a FT basis if need be. I am sure there are many of us doing the same thing. We have to cover our butts afterall.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends and are looking forward to a Happy Christmas season as well. (Even if we are not as well funded as we would like to be.)
Mine still claims to know nothing about - specifics. Not buying it.

NO details - sickened
[ In Reply To ..]No details at all, vague and no mention of money.
Garbage - depressed
[ In Reply To ..]Sounds like a lot of garbage to me. Oh, well, at least we are guaranteed minimum wage. Wonder who in the world thought up this puzzle. It is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.
The sum of your converted lines (typed and edited lines), adjusted for Shift Factor, Platform Factor, Holiday Factor, Difficulty Factor (if applicable) and will be your �Total Compensable Lines�. This total will be used to determine your Converted Lines per hour (C-LPH).
Total Production Pay
Your Converted Lines per hour (C-LPH), your Quality (QA %), and your QC % will be used to determine your rate of pay per line and �Total Production Pay�. These criteria are within your control and, through them, you will have the opportunity to identify the performance requirements necessary to achieve your financial goals.
Minimum Wage Guarantee
NTS will continue to offer the protection of a minimum wage guarantee within the Patient Safety Compensation Program. MLS not meeting minimum wage requirements through performance and production pay will receive supplemental make-up pay to ensure compliance with Federal and State minimum wage guarantees.
I knew it all - along
[ In Reply To ..]super low base pay but YOU can give YOURSELF a raise. YOU can get your LPH pay as high as those mysterious MTs "x and y and z" do. If they can do it so can YOU. Take all of the Enrich modules so YOU can do better. We won't pay you for that but YOU can pay yourself when you learn what Enrich has to offer. Then YOU can make so much per hour YOU won't believe it!! It's all up to YOU! Get those LPH up! Get YOUR quality up! Get YOUR QC reports under control. YOU can make your pay what you want, it's all up to YOU!!
What WE won't do is anything about the inconsistency in QA or the nitpicking that used to be considered over editing and we won't address the really poor sound quality or the rotten VR reports that need 5 or 6 or more edits per line. Nope, it's all YOUR fault you get paid what you get paid.
Hope they prepared well for the mass exodus.
Right - another convoluted formula - Disgusted
[ In Reply To ..]and we get the blame if we don't make enough to live on.
"Minimum Wage Guarantee" because the base - LPH pay will be crap!
[ In Reply To ..]And how are we supposed to figure out what we get paid each day? I like to know that as I go along. This formula sounds like it will be purposely tough to figure out.
I want a detailed accounting of why I got paid what I got paid. I want to see the QA score and all of the other stuff going on in this formula in black and white every.single.payday.
Getting more ridiculous with every new 'exciting' change they make.
One word....Asinine. sm - Not Excited at all
[ In Reply To ..]This is insane. Just get it over with ..give me lots of work and the darn minimum wage for my state and leave me alone. Formulas and grids my arse. Who does get paid to come up with all this crapola?
Convoluted - DJ
[ In Reply To ..]Yep, probably super convoluted as usual, but let's just wait until we hear the details from our TSMs before freaking out. They know they have to do something because people are so miserable.
It sounds like the same person who thought it up for MModal - who by the way resigned.
[ In Reply To ..]It sounds like Nuance MTs are already working for MModal. Beginning of the end. Wait till QA starts hounding you daily. Good luck.
Total production pay - tiredofbeingscrewed
[ In Reply To ..]I just replied back to that email and I am sure it will be taken that I was being a b!tch. There are times we send stuff to QC that is out of our control. That should not be held against us or factored in our total production pay. What a joke. Who's hiring??
Wow. No email here at all. nm - acuteMLS
[ In Reply To ..]nm
Geez, just pay me a straight cents per line without a formula to figure it out. - how about using the KISS principle?nm

Webmedx/Nuance Pay Plan Unveiled Today.
Dec 13, 2011
It appears they have done away with our paid holidays. We can work on holidays and have a bonus (if the facility is open and there is work). If not, we have to take it out of our PTO or not get paid. My pay by the new plan is cut from 9 typing and 5 voice recognition to 8 and 4 instead per line. The incentive bonus requires 99% accuracy by QA audit, and 15% or less of reports going to QA, paid every 2 weeks. ...

With New Plan STM Stated 35% Of Our Team Would C Increase With New Comp Plan

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 ...
Have You Ever Been Told This And If So------
Apr 09, 2010
what would you do about it. My TL repeatedly tells us to get off the system when the work volume is low because we are taking food out of other MTs mouths because they cannot feed their families or pay their bills because they need to get at least 20,000 lines per pay, but they cannot do that if we stay on the system,and we need to have compassion for them and get off the system so the ones who need it the most can pay their bills. Even if our line count is not met, they need i ...

New To ASR/Told Had To Switch To ME By 07/01
Jun 30, 2010
I am sweating this out, as everyone else has, and it is not working for me. The rules are too vague, the training insufficient, and I am struggling with doing whatever I can to get through the report and trying to correct "correctly" - whatever way that really is, there is no explanation. I don't know when to use F11. I gave ASR a 4-month try 4-5 (?) years ago when it first was implemented, and see similar non-recognition issues, similar heading issues, and probably I am ...

Told Dr Complaining

We were told recently a doctor was complaining about the quality of our reports. I thought that strange as he has no accent and speaks very clearly. I just did a report of his and his complaints are....do not use 1, 2, 3, etc., spell out one, two, three, etc.., do not leave off THE patient and just type patient at the beginning of a sentence..do not leave off LABORATORY IS AS FOLLOWS and just type LABORATORY, type what I said. I said..right on, doc, my sentiments exactly. ...

the bickerings of his office staff. Mind you, I make great per hour pay with this doctor, so I cannot complain about his pay, but for him to acknowledge that he was aware how valuable my time is really put a smile on my face. His office wanted me to do something for them and I propose charging them (not him) $25/hour. He told me I had undercut myself and was worth more. :) This was something they need to take care of internally and he told me he will tell them not t ...

Doc Just Told Me To Hold My Water.

He started dictating an Op note and then got confused. While trying to figure out what the heck he was doing, he said "hold your water." Maybe I'm just really bored today, or maybe my sense of humor is out of whack, but I started laughing hysterically at that! When the doc actually talks directly to me instead of just dictating (unless they are being a jerk) it's nice because you realize that he or she knows there is someone listening....even if they're telling you to ...
An MT Supervisor Told Me (Regarding MTs Who Aren't Doing Well)
Mar 12, 2010
An MT supervisor told me that when they aren't happy with an MT's work because they aren't following instructions or are getting sloppy, they just take them off the schedule. Sometimes they do it gradually and other times leave them with little or no work. They keep the work for the MTs who are doing the best job with the least fuss. Interesting. ...
