Bonus question. I am a PPT worker. I do not - work 40 hours SM

Posted: May 15, 2013

I work approximately 32-35 hours a week, depending on if I run out of work. I know there are 2 bonuses, 1 is for how many lines typed, I believe 7001 a pay period, correct? What else is tied to this bonus? A low QA score, lph amount? I never make this bonus but I am a little confused.

Now, the other bonus has to do with QA score, right? It has to be below 10 percent, I think. What else is tied to this bonus?

Thanks for any help. Much appreciated.

The Production Bonus (99% QA minimum) is calculated weekly (7001 lines minimum/week), paid biweekly with regular paycheck. So you might get it one week and not the next, which I think is actually an improvement over having to get 14,001 lines per pay period, the way it used to be.

The Quality Bonus (99.5% QA minimum) is paid quarterly (used to be paid about 20-30 days after the end of each quarter). It's based on total earnings for the quarter, not lines. It's 10% of earnings for 99.5% to 99.9% QA score or 15% for 100% QA score. This is the one that was recently instituted apparently partly to help give part-timers a chance at a bonus as well.

For both, QC submissions have to be not over 10% and LPH 186 or greater.

I am PT at 30 and got both bonuses so PT can do it. - MT

It is possible. You have to be thick skinned and go in to the war dodging all the bullets but I shockingly was able to get both. Weekly and quarterly. I am 6 hours a day 5 days a week. Good luck to you. Hang in there.

Hi....Of course, like everyone else, I am just sick to my stomach over the buyout from Nuance. My question is, are there any MTs out there who used to work at Webmedx and now Nuance who know the platform and can say they honestly make MORE money now? I have watched my pay go from 30.00 an hour to almost 18.00. I have hung on month after month after month. Now to drop it further, I have no choice but to leave. My last hope is to hear that someone is on the Nuance pla ...

If you believe your current or past work status is/was improperly categorized by a firm or person (independent contractor versus employee) you can complete IRS Form SS-8 (Determination of Worker Status for Purposes of Federal Employment Taxes and Income Tax Withholding).

A while back I switched from another company (starting with an N) over to Keystrokes. What a change.

What would you do if you had a co-worker who is stressed, has panic attacks, had back surgery and is on pain medication, and accuses everyone of all sorts of things. She is totally inappropriate, paranoid, and destroying the work environment. If anyone suggests that she forgot to do something or did it wrong, she has a panic attack, or more like hysteria. She reports people for silly things, but even though the charges are silly, they still go in the record. She writes complaints about people co ...

Thank you for my Q2 bonus, the first ever for me. However, I really could have used the money during the last 3 months. If divided up over those 3 months, I would not have had to borrow money for food. Please reconsider this punitive bonus plan you have. The money would be better served in my paychecks. Plus, all taxes deducted out of this bonus check is almost 50%. If that money would have been on a regular paycheck, the deduction would be more like 30%. This is punitive to MLSs in more wa ...

I've been anticipating my Q2 bonus for 3 months now and I look today and nope, not there! I made the required lines, QA postaudit was 99.56% so I made that too. What else could have held it up? I mean darn it, I worked my butt off for that! ...

Dear TSM: You're welcome for us MTs keeping things in TAT. Glad you're so thrilled. How about you just quietly enjoy the bonus we earned for you rather than sending us blithering thank you emails. Most of us know by now that you receive this bonus off our backs, so your gushy emails simply smack of rubbing that fact in. I don't feel appreciated at all when I read them; I feel completely taken advantage of. ...

We used to get the monthly production bonus as a separate check on the 25th. I didn't get a separate check for this although I should have qualified. Paltry as it is, every little bit helps. I do see an "incentive bonus" on my regular paystub, but I'm not sure if this is from some past incentive I have since forgotten about or if they are now just putting the regular monthly bonus on one statement along with our regular pay. Can anyone help? Is the month ...

Have you found that it's getting less and less for the VERY SAME AMOUNT OF LINES? I got a smaller bonus (piddly as it is) this month for MORE lines than I produced a few months ago and got a larger bonus for. I know the bonus is pretty much based on some kind of whim and/or some computations that require a master's degree in mathematics to figure out, but it would sure be nice if they could be consistent. I guess I should be glad I get one at ALL at this point. ...

Anybody heard anything solid, or not so solid, about this? I can't seem to get any information on a date for disbursement. And now that the DSP and nDSP were messed up on the last pay period (resulting in erroneous QC Percent scores), I'm afraid it's going to be delayed even more while that gets corrected/ironed out through another pay period. Maybe somebody else's team lead is a little more in the know or more communicative about what's going on? ...
