OOW - can't clock out?? - Pollyanna
Posted: May 26, 2014
I've had 2 reports and now no work. We were told not to clock out when OOW! Doesn't this just go against LPH sitting here on the clock with no work?
Who said you can't clock out - newbutold
[ In Reply To ..]My OOW policy which I just got the new ones less than a month ago state that you go to your secondary accounts and if nothing in any of them, you clock out and wait 15 minutes for either a response from your TL or after 15 minutes you go back in on your accounts and if still no work then you clock out and if you can flex feel free to do so, but you don't have to nor are you required to use your pto hours if you don't want to.
WHAT? - How much time to wait to not produce lines?
[ In Reply To ..]Seriously what kind of game is this Nuance is playing?
Any and all they can get away with. - games
[ In Reply To ..]Call your state unemployment agency.
Clocking out - Pollyanna
[ In Reply To ..]I have a recent e-mail from my TMS we are NOT to clock out but contact the region - no one is responding SO there goes my LPH down the drain.

[ In Reply To ..]I would think that if you could somehow document on the clock that you were out of work you could take that and show it to the UE office. That way you could prove that you were indeed able and ready to work, showed up on time and there wasn't any work to do. I would not stay clocked in without somehow documenting that you ran out of work.
See, Nuance says you are an employee and yet they fail to provide you with work. They also fail to provide equipment, but that's another story. Keep track and go to UE - maybe you will qualify for some partial benefits as an underemployed worker.
If you aren't interested in doing any of the above, disregard my message. I don't think many people here realize they are considered underemployed when they are a full-time employee who is not provided with any work to do!
Lack of work - Pollyanna
[ In Reply To ..]All of management is gone for a 3 day weekend at full pay just as a given! We can't take holidays unless we have any PTO and request it much in advance. I'm clocking out and entering OOW as the reason. I'm not sitting here all day waiting. We should be getting a base pay hourly especially since we have to clock in and out everyday!
They change the rules daily just like acct specs - and expect us to remember everything.
[ In Reply To ..]I know so many people who have quit, good people, excellent transcriptionists. I once saw a bumper stitcker with a saying regarding a major city's downfall: "Will the last person left, please turn out the lights." I feel like the last person until I come to this board and see I'm not alone. I pray every day that we will find a way out or get our stolen wages back, which would make some or all of this bearable.
They make the "rules" so complex. - Why?
[ In Reply To ..]I need an interpreter or lawyer for the ever changing rules but unfortunately Nuance does not pay me enough to hire someone to read and interpret their ridiculous rules.
Holidays are a nightmare because of this policy - s.m.
[ In Reply To ..]You dread clocking in to begin with, you lose all your momentum every time you are OOW, you dread it happening your entire shift; my production drops by half.
I would check your email or check with HR as a new - OOW policy was sent out a few weeks ago.
[ In Reply To ..]You most certainly can punch out according to the policy.

10 O'clock Or 10:00?
Apr 14, 2011
The doctor said: The patient's EKG was unchanged from the EKG of 07/20/2010, both the 10:00 one, and the 11:15 one. He meant that there were 2 EKGs today, one at 10 and one at 11:15, that were unchanged from one almost a year ago, in 2010. Is 10:00 incorrect? Should it be "both the 10 o'clock one, and the 11:15 one?" ...

When To Clock Out OOW?
Jul 29, 2013
She and I had a few e-mails back and forth about when I should clock out OOW. I'm just...confused. I have been clocking out OOW after doing the usual protocol any time there isn't work and had no issues with that with my old TSM. New TSM said that I only clock out OOW if I am quitting for the day and have no work. She told me checking in during my regular scheduled shift when OOW is "flexing" and so I don't clock out OOW. Correct me if i'm wrong, but when you clock out OOW ...

Time Clock
May 22, 2012
The requirement for ICs to use a time clock is apparently to protect the service from being sued for unpaid labor, right? If you sign in honestly, i.e. whenever you are doing anything for this job with the service, tech tweaking, software installation, training, spreadsheets, research, phone calls, etc., etc., etc., it would put you into overtime and you are fired, right? I'm just curious if anyone is given written instructions to sign in ONLY when your fingers will be pounding the ke ...

If you need to get your lines in but you've worked your 40 hours or plan on working your whole 40 hours, can you hop on and type off the clock?

Thanks! BAW ...

RE: Is There A Company Without A Time Clock
May 27, 2011
Lest any of you would like to continue debating whether the "activity" mentioned is legal versus illegal. Transcend paid out MANY thousands for violating the laws you all are talking about and did so around 2006-2007 as did Softscript pay out many thousands MORE around the same time and there are no doubt more violations. I do not encourage you to continue being side tracked by the conflicting posts on this board but am quite confident you all will be. ...

KEYSTROKES TIME CLOCK
Oct 03, 2011
It is my understanding from an attorney that if we are required to sit and wait for the work that is considered time worked. Keystrokes wants us to keep track of ONLY the time spent typing, any time spent NOT typing is NOT considered as time working according to them. You would have to rack up a lot of time just typing to get in those 40 hours in order to get paid overtime. By the way I have never been paid overtime even after 40 hours and when asked if I would receive it the anwer was ...
THE TRUTH ABOUT KS TIME CLOCK AND OT
Oct 04, 2011
The truth is KS is being sued for not paying overtime. KS does not have time records and that is why it is being implemented now. I myself know overtime pay was not offered for anyone taking extra hours on my account. I also have e-mails to that effect. KS has not always paid overtime and if it was given it was to a select few or favorites. At one time gift cards were being given in lieu of overtime on certain accounts, which does not make up for the overtime m ...
