Question going unanswered - fedup

Posted: May 05, 2015

It seems that Nuance monitors the board, so maybe they'll see this and actually respond. I have an issue that my team lead says I need to contact HR about and HR ignores my emails over and over. The issue is not going away. I believe every California employee has the right to know they are owed a substantial amount of money, and California law states YOU....the employer...will be required to pay my attorney fees if it comes to that....which it soon will.

Copy all emails outside the mail program so that you have - documentation. nm

I'm not sure how to save to a flash drive or external drive other than copying and pasting, but I print everything....including the email where they admitted not following California labor requirements.

Exactly what do they owe to CA employees? - If you are talking about

[ In Reply To ..]
the internet fees, I received an email from HR about a month or so ago requesting a copy of my internet bill. It's only 30/month but every bit counts. I've already seen it show up (at 15 every PP) and also received 30/month since retroactively since August (they won't go farther back than that). Unless you are talking about something else....

Unfortunately, what will probably happen is that they will just stop hiring from CA just to save the measly (to them) 30/month. And then starve out the CA employees they do have. Although, they gave me $240 in retro internet payments....you'd think they would have wanted to get rid of me before that....who knows......

Just wondered why they pay CA MTS for internet fees?

I'm thinking it's because they HAVE to. They certainly - do not want to....

There is probably a CA labor law that requires this, and always HAS, which is why they have to pay retro, but only required to go back so many months.

CA is EMPLOYEE friendly. Nuance must be desperate for MTs right now or I know they'd be one of the many companies that do not hire from CA for that reason. Employee friendly states means labor laws are FAIR to the employee, and Nuance doesn't like that AT ALL. Boils down to less $$$ in their pockets.

I need to make a correction to my post...what I meant to - say is that Nuance would be

one the many MT companies that don't hire from CA. Didn't mean to say just "companies" --- it's specifically MT companies I'm talking about, the greedy unethical MTSOs

Yes, internet, and they still are not paying what they - should per law.

They are only paying back to August, which is when a court case was settled. The law has been in effect since the 90s I think, so they should be paying a lot more. They fight and fight but they will have to do it eventually like it or not.

Labor code 2802 - fedup

[ In Reply To ..]
California labor code 2802 states that the employer must pay for all expenditures necessary for the employee to perform his/her duties. Nuance is passing business expenses such as internet fees, replacing worn out keyboards, headphones, et cetera onto employees. Can you imagine an office job where they required you to purchase a computer to use in your cubicle? It's a BUSINESS expense that should be paid for by the EMPLOYER. They are unfairly benefiting from something we pay for.

I'm thinking it is about having paid breaks - AnotherAnon

[ In Reply To ..]
I read somewhere down to board about production employees in California having to be paid for their breaks, i.e. not included in the LPH wage, but actual paid time, like the way our PTO is, 30 minutes a day. It also would be retroactive back several years, not sure how many 5 or 7 (I think).

Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

3 years. - nm

As for going farther back, they ultimately will not have a - choice.

It just has not been pushed yet but it will and they will have to whether they like it or not. By giving us pay, they already admitted that they have to obey the law. They are just hoping that we are stupid enough not to push the truth of the issue, which is that they have to go all the way back depending on our employment and previous internet compensation/employee status. They will be paying in the end.

I'm not a CA resident, but I am SO HAPPY for those who are and that Nuance is having to pay internet fees. This company is greedy to the extreme. THEY are the stupid ones for thinking MTs can't see beyond their various smoke screens. It is apparent from the MTs I know personally as well as those on this board that we ARE wise to their ways. We've rolled over and taken so much for so long, but the tide has most definitely turned, Nuance. Hehehe :)

Reporting time pay = half your shift or 2 hours - Whichever is greater

When an OOW situation occurs, in California you are required to be paid half your scheduled shift or 2 hours, whichever is greater.

Hello, I posted a question a few wks ago asking why I could not see links that I included in my post. You mentioned filling out the Contact Us form and include the link and describe the issue. I did that but did not receive a reply. Then I replied to my original post stating that I never heard back, and did not receive a reply to that either. Can you please address this issue? I would like to know what is happening to the links in my posts. Thank you. ...
