I didn't get my incentive bonus and our new health insurance blows - sm
Posted: Oct 15, 2012
Not really going to try to maintain % to QC. Guess they will be filling in a lot of blanks for me. Looks like Nuance shot themselves in the foot.
Yepper!! I don't bust my butt for % either. s/m - me

I've been a MT for 25+ years. I have never had a problem with QA until now. So......I will clock in, work, clock out. No more, no less. I will not drive myself insane with the inconsistent QA rule change. I'd rather produce enough to pay my bills then worry about getting a bonus. Have fun filling in MY blanks.
That is what I did when I lost my quarterly bonus - anon

I sent 30% or more to QC every stinking day for 3 months.
Guess what, got my bonus back this quarter. They audited less than 10 jobs for me the whole quarter and stopped when I hit 99%. I didn't get a single audit in September.
I can't seem to get a clear answer about this. So, the incentive, I know it's if you've got less than 10% going to QC, have a qualifying QA score, and starts with 7001 lines for the week, but how is it paid out. Do you get the extra $0.0025 on lines 7001-8000, then $0.005 on lines 8000-9000?
So, if I had 8500 lines. Assuming I was at 4 CPL for edit, (assuming it's all edit) at base rate I'd get $340. I would qualify for the bonus/incentive ...
I don't understand the incentive and bonus. Aren't there two different things? That is, a weekly incentive which certain requirements to meet for a little extra pay, and a quartery (3-month) bonus which other certain requirement for a little more extra pay? ...
I know there was a training video regarding what the incentive as well as bonus qualifications at Nuance, but I never understood it. Some of you seem to be complaining of Nuance using underhanded tactics to avoid rewarding any bonus or incentive, which is probably a major reason why you complain of being "mistreated." (I, on the other hand, don't feel mistreated by Nuance per se, except for the ridiculous monetary compensation). But I have never sought out the bonus nor incentive, basica ...
I know it was just asked how they figure out their bonus, but I am concerned because I found recent posts that say the lines are "weighted", and their own ad says "quality based" incentive program. Another poster alluded to comma nuts that QA you to death so that you end up with little to no available lines for incentive. Is there anyone out there who has had a recent experience with this who could enlighten those of us who have been sold out? What I am concerned about is that it sounds like you ...
I have been with Nuance for 4-1/2 months. This is my first experience with VR but I have 25+ years experience as a MT. I have always had QAs 98% and up. Whatever that QT thing is, my scores are horrible. Yes, now and then I have a report that blows. The majority of my work I have no problem with dictators, etc. WTH is going on? Someone please explain this to me plus who here really gets incentive bonus? ...
Has anyone out there ever typed 15,000 lines in a week and if so, what is the weekly bonus amount? Not talking about the line pay per week, the weekly bonus pay. Thanks for any help. ...
Hey folks. Does anyone know of a group health insurance coverage I can get even with preexisting issues? My company doesn't offer it. I've thought of switching companies but all the other ones sound so awful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ...
I am considering becoming self employed (after a fashion) as an IC. I have gone onto www.healthcare.gov and gone through the steps they advise when you want to take out private insurance. Holy cow, the insurance plans offered varied in premium cost from $600 to $4000 per month for a family of 4, but the thing that got me was two items: Maximum out of pocket for individual: 0$. Annual deductible for individual: 0$. Woohoo. This just seems too good to be true.&n ...
Does anyone know if my employer can force me to buy the company-sponsored insurance? I can't afford it any longer, so I want to drop it for the upcoming enrollment. Last year, there was a sheet that stated something like this: Opt out only with proof of coverage elsewhere and attach a copy of insurance card. ...
Could anyone tell me what they paid for health insurance in 2014 through Nuance for you and your spouse and also what you are paying in 2015?
Also, could someone tell me what they paid for the health insurance for 2014 and 2015 for just themselves?
I couldn't afford to take the insurance and I'm trying to figure out if it was more than 8% of my income so I can avoid paying the tax penalty. I don't think it was for just me, but I think with my husband added on it might h ...
I've always had my own health insurance. I didn't want to get stuck with whatever plan my employer happened to offer, and I didn't want to worry about losing my insurance if I changed jobs.
But now the company I'm with is getting out of the insurance business, and I need to find new coverage. The company I work for offers insurance, but like I said above, I don't want their plan. And since they offer it, I'm not eligible for ACA (and I don't ...
Can anybody tell me what kind of health insurance plan Transtech has? Is it HMO, PPO, . . or do they have different plans to choose from? I'm also very interested to know how much it is and how much the deductible would be. I'm 51 years old, so good health benefits is very important to me. Also, I would appreciate any feedback on abt other companies out there with great health insurance. Thank's! ...
With this new healthcare reform, does this mean that outsourcing companies are going to have to provide health insurance to MTs? Even though you may be an independent contractor, you still work for the company. With these oursourcing companies, I sure hope they will be required to offer health insurance, even if they MTs dont or cannot meet the line requirements. This should be a very interesting concept to know about when the healthcare reform is in place! I always thoug ...
I want to take the plunge and try to find a different job but I want to keep my toe in the door here to see if I can find something better. However, I cannot afford to be without insurance. Can you get bennies working 32 hours a week? 24? ...
To those of you who desperately need insurance now, here is a great place to look for temporary insurance. If you eventually find out that COBRA is not going to happen or LM jerks you around so long you miss the deadline, you can still qualify for Uninsurable Risk insurance depending on the State you live in. Some of these plans may even be cheaper than COBRA, which is something you might want to look into.
It is definitely worth your time to check this out instead of just wa ...
This is my first VR job. I cannot make enough lines to qualify for health insurance on it. This is the first time I have ever had this problem. I could easily exceed my line count with a straight typing job. The only way I could meet line count now is if I blaze through the jobs without proofreading and put out bad-quality jobs. I wouldn't even be able to get up to stretch my legs ever. I'd have to cut my lunch down to 30 minutes. And even then I'd be about 1000 to ...
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to DROP the health insurance? I can't make ends meet so I wanted to know if I could drop it and have additional money in my check
...
I just recently got MQ health insurance. I was wondering how it works since it is just a HSA and not a PPO or HMO. Do I bring my card with me and they swipe it and the payment comes directly from the insurance or do I pay and get a receipt and then have to submit the receipt with paperwork to United Healthcare for reimbursement? I have never used an insurance like this, if you can can it that. Thank you. ...
