How is PTO rate figured? - FloridaMT


Posted: Dec 26, 2012

I took 8 hours PTO yesterday and haven't a clue how much I made for the day.  Can anyone tell me the "formula" for figuring this?? Thanks

This is on Nuance. Think I posted to wrong board.

It is a formula and will change from quarter to quarter. - anon

They apparently look at your last quarter and do an average to come to your hourly rate.

Mine has been around $9 an hour.

Well, that's just crazy. Nothing is set in stone, huh. How are you supposed to figure out your pay when you take leave when you don't know the "magic number" they are going to use? My ROM told me there were positives with this transition and one of them would be the PTO rate is higher. Not sure how she figures that but I know darn well what I was making before with Transcend per hour and doubt it will ever be that high with Nuance. Another crock, I guess!

PTO?? - marty

My first week w/Nuance and I took Christmas eve off and still have no idea how much I am getting paid for it. I emailed region 4 days ago and still no answer. I havent been w/Nuance long enough to have a quarterly average figured, so anyone know how much are they paying per hour?
I think it is $10 hour. NM - anon

I Figured It Out
Sep 19, 2012

We are waiting to hear about "enhanced compensation" or really "reduction" until everyone is moved over to 7.1. They did not expect there to be so many delays, and I think real soon, everyone will be shifted over, and then they can show us with all of our production reports how great their program is, and then cut the pay to be "industry standard." I knew I would figure out a reason it was taking so long. ...

Mar 21, 2015

Think I have finally figured it out. We got a call from Chase saying that someone had used our credit card and had tried to charge two items worth a couple of hundred dollars but they turned it down. I am certain they have software that figures out your buying patterns, where you go, and what you normally buy with their card as a way to cut down their losses. If that is the case and I am sure that it is, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this company must have sof ...


How Is OT Figured At Your Company?
Jun 26, 2014

Once upon a time, I used to work for a company, who, when working overtime, would have you log the lines you did during your OT period and pay 1-1/2 times whatever your line count was, which was awesome.   It seems this day and age, companies have a base rate in which they pay for PTO purposes and all the lines done (OT and regular) are put in the same count, and then how ever many OT  hours worked are paid at the base rate and then half, which is actually considerably less than what w ...

I Think I Finally Figured Out The New Pay Plan.....
Jan 19, 2015

Okay - I've only been here a couple of weeks, and the pay plan is all finally starting to make sense..... now I understand.  So.... really, the way to make the most money is to not send more than 10% to QC.  It does't matter how good my quality is or my speed is, if I send more than 10% to QC,  I only make 7 cents a line......   so I'm better off with slighly less quality as long as I don't send more to QC.  It doesn't make much sense, but I am g ...

VR Pay Rate

After nearly a decade of working with Webmedx, I like many others am looking for extra work to supplement what I will be losing with Nuance.  I have a chance to pick up some part-time IC work, but I have no idea what a good acute care IC rate is.  Ten years ago, I charged $0.12/line.  Is this still an okay rate?  More?  Less?  I don't want to ask for too much and have them laugh at me, but I also don't want to sell myself short.
