Posted: Nov 27, 2014

Ok so I rushed around like a mad woman getting a dinner prepared to be on the table by noon as I had to be on shift by 3. Guess what No work! What a joke! What happens in this situation? You lose your hours, you lose your pay, you lose your line count for the day?

And you lose your mind. - NM

The labor law in some states is that.... - if your company

does not provide work during your scheduled hours, they must pay your "benefit" rate. I used to get that a while ago at Medquist (now MM)....as I live in one of those states, and I'm certain that is why they laid me off.

Anyway, I think the companies found a way to somehow get out of that. I know it's law though. But I'm afraid if I speak up and say something they will just fire me, and I can't afford that right now. But yeah, it sucks.

I pray everyone on this board has a job that they can be satisfied with. I know there are so many troubles in MT and I hope that in some way God can ease the pain. I am so blessed to have found a good job about two weeks ago. I have been unemployed and this one is a true blessing. It makes we want to work very hard to keep it and do my best. I'm also grateful for all the support from this board while I was unemployed. You all mean a lot to me and I hope I can do the same for others. I ...

told to clock in at beginning when scheduled. If no work, clock out. Then it states to check back EVERY 30 minutes. If there is work clock in and begin working. When there are no more jobs clock out. Keep doing this until end of shift. Isn't this requiring us to be available for 8 hours but unpaid (most likely)? Doesn't this even go against MModal's current policy on no work available? ...

and the window to request Christmas is about to open, and the new rule our "scheduler" made up is that we can only take one of them, it would be nice if she would PROCESS THE THANKSGIVING REQUESTS SO WE KNOW IF WE CAN REQUEST CHRISTMAS OR NOT. On a side note, since we can only take one of them, I suspect because she thinks it will make her job easier, that's going to throw way too many people working on completely dead holidays, which will lead to her having to fill out a ton ...
