The new pay plan email - sm

Posted: Oct 15, 2014

If my punctuation and capitalization was as bad as the notice in that email, I'd be fired. I guess they don't see the hypocrisy in that.

Notice they capped the word "money" WHY? nm - acuteMLS

Does this apply to ambulatory accounts... - cc

[ In Reply To ..]
or what? FIESA doesn't apply to my account so I never had to pay much attention to it. Go easy on me-I started just weeks ago and tagged along with a buyout and getting familiar with this.

Yep. - mtnest

They are normalizing all platforms and ASR across all accounts. The email was for all US Nuance, so it should be for you as well.

I'm ambulatory too, and... - BBMT

... I think all of the ambulatory accounts and the new hospital accounts they keep buying are part of the reason for all of these changes. I think we are all operating in a different way right now. I use Emdat Inscribe for my platform, and I have 2 exclusive dictators and a couple shared dictators. My line rate right now is 8.5 cpl. With exclusive dictators, the potential for earning can be pretty sweet. They are yours and yours alone, and you can really build up your shortcuts when you're typing the same people day in and day out. The email said they want to "level the playing field." I think this won't be good for my peeps, lol.

Our acquisition with Nuance took place a couple years ago, and they said our rates wouldn't change "at this time." They also said that we would not have to convert to employee status "at this time," and we are all employees now, so pretty much when they say "at this time" that means it's gonna change sooner or later, and they know exactly when, but they aren't telling us silly little minion MTs until they feel like it.

The email said managers are sending out the individual emails about rates, so I wonder if they get to set those rates or what. I'm curious to see if there is actually going to be just one base rate pay across the board for all MTs. I guess we are supposed to increase our earnings with all their other grid crap. Apparently you can increase your quality... or your throughput... or you can go "diagonally or in steps" and increase both!! My prediction is that you will end up needing to go sideways and slantways and longways and backways through their grid like a damn Wonkavator to earn a decent wage.

Because it is the most important thing to them, as long as it is in THEIR pockets.

I LOVED how they thanked us for the great "FY14" - sm

Not that we reaped any of the benefits after it was earned off the backs of our hard labor.

This 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 ...

I 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. ...

Cant 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 ...

Sounds 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 ...

Been 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. ...

The 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 ...

Did 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. ...

Was 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? Counting t ...

I have a dictator will dictate the Assessment/Plan with a number for the problem and a letter for the plan (1. Gout. A. Labs in the morning. B. Medication, 2. Etc. A. B., 3. A.)

I hope someone can help me.

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 ...

Does 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? ...

just 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 ...

Everyone 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. Shove it in their faces.

I 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 ...
