Calculating overtime - more cuts


Posted: Apr 03, 2015

Not only cut in pay, it seems like the OT is no longer time and a half.  I can't believe the amount of money I have lost.  Anyone know how they figure overtime??   Also, I seemed to notice that whenever we complain about  FIESA, like about them picking short reports, it seems to happen even more.  It makes me think they probably read this forum too and get a good laugh out of it.  Sorry, but I tend to believe they resent us because we make more money than they do, doing the same work, and this is just payback for them.  

time and a half - another play on words

[ In Reply To ..]
Their "time and a half" is NOT actually time and a half as most companies. Their explanation is you already worked your "time" during regular hours, so actually all you are getting is the "half". So if your time and a half is $12, you only get $6 OT! So, yea, another pay cut!

Calculating Lines...

Good morning :) I have been sitting here trying to figure out how many lines I would have to do a day to make $500 to $600 a week at 8 cpl.  Now either my brain is completely fried or my coffee needs to be stronger, but I cannot remember how to calculate this.  Can anyone help a girl out this morning?? Thank you so much :) ...


They Are Calculating OT Correctly
Sep 21, 2012

Heard back from the Department of Labor who verified that OT is calculated correctly.  Per the client library, FAQ June 2012, it is calculated as an hourly rate and then we are paid 50% of that.  They recalculate this every pay period based on how many lines we did, divided by 80.  Just updating everyone.  ...

Question About Calculating Speech Lines???
May 29, 2015

I'm sure this has been asked but can someone please tell me what happens with speech line requirements when they are calculating your CLPH. It has to be 100 or more. If I do speech lines today and I do 500 lines for example, do they calculate the 500 and divide by my hours to get my CLPH OR do they take the 500, divide in half and THEN use the 250 divided by my hours to get my CLPH??? Show me in this example- 500 lines speech, worked 5 hours. CLPH would be 100 LPH in that example OR do th ...

Is It True That FOCUS, Only Counts Half Of Your Lines When Calculating VR Lines?
Jan 30, 2012

if you make 4 cents per line at 1000 lines a day, they really calculate it at 500 lines per day x 4 cents, making it really 2 cents per line for the full 1000.   I heard this, and I am really interested in knowing if it is true. ...


Not Getting Overtime Pay???
Feb 21, 2011

I work second shift, so, due to the time change from PST to CST, after 10 pm my time, the last hour of my shift shows up as the next day. I worked 1.5 hours this morning and then my regular 2:30-11 pm shift, so I figure I should be paid for 1.5 hours overtime, but my calculated time (I recently discovered this on the current time card page) shows me as only getting credit for 0.5 hours overtime with 8 RT (Regular time) + 0.5 OT hours showing up on Sunday and then 1 hour showing up on Monday as ...

? About WMX Overtime Assignments
Dec 23, 2009

I know when I call in to have work assigned (OT accounts) they always ask what kind I want.  I usually just tell them "Whatever" and they confirm I do all work types, say thank you and away we go.  Now I am wondering.  Seems like after we have had OT on my accounts the next day there is a MUCH higher than normal ratio of crappy dictators.  Are the people working OT the day/night before allowed to choose to not do those dictators?   I had one of the support staff th ...

Wonder About Mandatory Overtime
Apr 18, 2015

Could the suits be so devious as to require mandatory overtime so it temporarily boosts income so they look like they are paying a living wage? Or is there just a supply/demand problem? I did check into mandatory or forced overtime. It is legal as long as it is not causing a safety risk and there are 16 states putting restrictions on forced overtime. Alaska, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Isl ...
