I thought they were going to roll out a new PTO plan first of the year?
I can wait to see how much they are going to reduce our PTO - n/m

I wish they would get on with it. I was thinking of tweaking my schedule and reducing my hours. I am already progressive part time and appreciate getting PTO as it is but I do not want to drop my hours and find out that I have taken myself out of contention for PTO. Or, if it is being taken away, then I would know to just drop my hours even further.
After they rolled out the pay plan, I cut my hours. sm - mt2

I dropped to progressive part-time (35 hours/week) but didn't realize I also dropped to 3 PTO days a year. So...guess I'll be going back to 40 hours so I can have PTO days. I'm just passing my time here - will retire in 3 more years - cannot wait.
I thought the new PTO plan - was

They only changed our PTO rate. So instead of our PTO rate being determined every 6 months, they base it on the previous month's productivity. Someone on this board said if you were planning a vacation say in May, you could bump up your production in April and get a higher PTO rate for your vacation. That was my impression anyway, that's the only info I got about any PTO changes.
There was supposed to be a new plan too-sm - anon

The new plan was supposed to no longer have caps and supposedly would have the option of cashing some if it in, etc. Page 4 of the new pay plan information said that a new PTO accrual program was to begin 01/01 with more information forthcoming. It is now mid-February, somebody missed their target.
They probably figured let us cash some in knowing - we would be making peanuts

With New Plan STM Stated 35% Of Our Team Would C Increase With New Comp Plan Dec 04, 2014This 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 ...
Anyone Here Have UHC HRA Plan? Oct 01, 2012I'm just curious as to how it works, as I may have to sign up for it at the end of the year. How does the HRA account work and how do you get access to the funds when you need them? I think I understand everything beyond that. Just curious how the account is set up and how to get access to it. ...
This Is My Plan- Aug 28, 2013I will check for work during my schedule. Work it if possible, if not, just use the no wrk excused absence comment. I am not going to work around the clock to try and make it up. Ridiculous. If you want to, that is okay, but seems crazy to ask people to do this. Why don't the supervisors/TSMs have a call about this. We get an email, but never anyone to tell us directly about a change. I just cannot believe that they expect employees to try and make up the time. ...
New Pay Plan...cant We....sm Oct 15, 2014Cant we all write the guys who are on the e-mail we all got if in fact this turns out to be something bad? Flood their emails and desks? Ya know its too bad we cant get together 500+ MLS and go on strike... I would do it. If a ton of us went on strike and demanded fair wages and changes, with noone typing their reports for 48+ hours I think they'd listen. It kind of sounds like the pay will be the same even if they lower the base..... b/c if they lower the base rate but you get a tad extra ...
New Pay Plan...? Sm Nov 30, 2014Sounds like they are taking out the LPH requirements? Or am I the only 1 thinking this? Sounds like they take out the requirement for LPH. Now your lines may drop due to focusing more on QA/blanks/rereading,etc. Normally that would lower your lines and lower your pay. Now it will lower your lines BUT you will send less to Q and have less mistakes so your pay will ultimately stay the same. This is how I am taking all of this. The only thing I am not getting is if we are going to have a base ...
New Pay Plan Nov 30, 2014Been thinking about this, and it's obvious we are all pretty much sunk. I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to post any info on getting financial assistance to learn another trade/skill. Am thinking pharmacy tech or medical assistant. Seems to me there is a government program that may help out with tuition/expenses, but cannot remember what it's called. Thanks in advance. ...

Even Though I Will Do Well With This New Pay Plan, Dec 13, 2014The abuse and the stress have gone beyond the pale. The people who put together this pay plan have no idea what it is like to work in the trenches. We have taken pride in our work and have loved the field of medical transcription, but they have made us hate it. They have caused us to make more mistakes. We are not focused on what we are doing at any given moment; we are focused on our overall scores and thinking about how we're going to make enough money to buy winter boots for our children ...
New Changes In Pay Plan Feb 09, 2015Did anybody get the email about the changes they are making. We have longer time to request a reversal (big deal - they never approve them so really????) and now they can QA us for our 2 weeks rather than our 1 weeks which in my opininon just gives them more time to pick apart which ones they want to check and find their errors to total up!!! That is great idea. ...
New PTO Plan Jun 09, 2015Was told in a conference call a while back that they would revamping the PTO plan and would release or announce it on June 1. Had not heard anything from my supervisor. I know she said they would implement a buy back plan and that was all she knew. Has any one else heard what further fun and games Nuisance has in store regarding our PTO? And since I am asking, do you think they will mess with our 401(k) -- like no longer doing partially matching contributions?

Help With Backup Plan Dec 11, 2010I hope someone can help me. I know I need to back up my files (especially my work files, SH, etc.) I see ads on TV about back up options, I have heard of other ways to do this as well, like an external drive. My dilemma is that I don't know which is the best way to do this. I have a Dell computer and every so often a box comes up and says backup not done. I never click on it. Does this mean I should have make a disk with everyone on it that I wa ...
PTO With Pay Plan Question Dec 30, 2010Does anyone know if the PTO we see as of today in teamwork is the correct remaining PTO for the rest of the year? I was not sure if the pto we used previously in the period ending 12/26 is reflected in the current PTO in teamwork yet. This is confusing me since we will get a 12/31 paycheck. I know pto will not accumulate until next year but it looks like to me I did not lose any PTO even since taking a few hours ending the 26th. any clues out there? ...

Well, I Know Transcription Is Going Away But What I Plan To Do Is Jan 06, 2013just continue to take what I can get until there is nothing left. If it means working here and there I guess that is what I will do. As far as coding, MModal is advertising everywhere for coding people and I can assure you they are training coders and that work will be heading overseas as well so why bother. They will keep the rates low and there wont be any money in that either. I guess the only way to even try to survive in transcription is take what you can get unless ...

5-Year Plan Nov 10, 2013Everyone who is an MT now should make a 5-year plan to be out of this field for good within 5 years. That will show them we're not gonig to take this anymore.

Here's My Escape Plan Feb 15, 2014I got a job with a small local MTSO. The pay is only fair, and there's no PTO, but there's also no VR and my insurance is free (not for my family though). The owner and I both know that the days of MT are dwindling but we are going to ride it out till the end. The beautiful part is her office also does coding and billing. Not the really indepth inpatient coding, of course, but office stuff. She knows I want to learn how to do that so when the MT work is go ...

New Pay Compensation Plan..sm Oct 14, 2014Can someone please explain to me this new email we all got this afternoon about the new pay compensation plan rolling out in December? Can anyone explain it a bit more in detail. Sounds like our pay will not be the same amount anymore as in no more cpl that we were used to? Sounded like to me it will be based on quality and working weekends/nights, etc. Is this something good? Email wasn't in detail too much and a little hard to read. I dont have time to go through it right now. Thanks! ...

New Pay Compensation Plan Dec 01, 2014Since 2012, when Nuance "officially" took over the company I was with, they following has been very consistent.
1) Cut pay, then offer some type of carrot (incentive, bonus) to help us "make up" the loss in line rate. QA us to death for any little error, calll it a major error or a critical error to lower our quality score so that we cannot make 'incentive' or 'bonus.' If we do re-read the reports in order to bring quality scores up, our lines go down, and then it is a sum z ...
All This Speculation About The New Pay Plan Is Not Doing Dec 01, 2014any of us any good. I'm sure we all got the same e-mail about the new pay plan with no specifics on it. This probably won't be a very popular thing but, for myself, I'm going to wait and see before I get all bent out of shape about it. I know that Nuance is not famous for doing good things for the MLS, but still, speculating and having us all being paid minimum wage before the fact is not helping us. It only increases our stress levels. I don't have any inside news or anythin ...
New Pay Plan Is So Twisted You Will Never Know Dec 03, 2014finally did it all right! What a mess this will be. I'm done. I'm moving over to my PT job FT now. If Nuance believes this is cutting edge, I hope they still feel like this when everyone cuts out at once. How will they ever hire anyone new again. Would you take a job where they can't tell you exactly your rate of pay? Unbelievable. Now it's really apparently why they've been hiring and advertising for all these newbie MLS. They figure, this will be the "new nor ...
