bonus criteria? How do you know you got it? - me

Posted: Jul 13, 2014

Have seen posts that it goes from April 1 to end of June. Another that says beginning of a pay period in April and end of a pay period in late June or early July.

This will be my first time (I think) of getting quarterly bonus. My percentages show over 99.5. How do I find out if I did indeed qualify?

Is it in the employee manual we had to sign?

In webclock you will see what your QA % is and that is what they base your quarterly percentage on as well as the next 3 months of bonuses on your paycheck. The quarter actually runs from Apr 12 thru July 11.

Nope. The quarter is based on calendar dates. 04/01/2014 -06/30/2014 - wannie

It's on the payroll calendar. I believe that can be found in Enrich.

What exactly is based on the calendar? - Have been told otherwise

When I was hired and a few times early on when I asked, I was told that the quarters were calendar quarters when it came to the Post-Audit QA scores.

However, I was later told (and it has been mentioned several times on this board) that the quarters ended the last day of the pay-period in which the calendar quarter ended. So, since June 30th fell in the middle of a pay-period, the actual end date would be July 4th, the last day of the pay-period.

I never have, to this day, gotten clarification as to whether the dates are specific to the date of dictation, the date it was transcribed/edited, or if it is the date the actual report was QA'd.

I'm not saying my information is correct, I'm just voicing what I've heard and been told directly in the past.

On the payroll calendar for this year, the - wannie

pay periods are color coded by quarters at the top of the page. That makes it look like the quarter ends at the end of a pay period. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, it shows the actual quarter dates (color coded) and they are definitely by calendar months. When I have checked my QA score in FIESA using the calendar dates, it always matches the QA score that shows up on the time card. Hope this helps, even though I know it's all as clear as mud, lol.

Unable to find - Did my own calculations

I could not find what you are talking about. I mean, I found the payroll calendar, but it is not color coded and does not have the quarter dates listed. I checked everywhere.

However, when I did the calculations, it looks like it's Post Audits that are dated by calendar quarters based on the date of transcription (which is not the default setting, which is date of review).

This is really confusing because I've had multiple TSM's and read many threads on here that say otherwise. Oh well.

Is it the norm to get dinged for leaving a blank when you supervisor is checking accuracy?

Thank you for my Q2 bonus, the first ever for me. However, I really could have used the money during the last 3 months. If divided up over those 3 months, I would not have had to borrow money for food. Please reconsider this punitive bonus plan you have. The money would be better served in my paychecks. Plus, all taxes deducted out of this bonus check is almost 50%. If that money would have been on a regular paycheck, the deduction would be more like 30%. This is punitive to MLSs in more wa ...

Dear TSM: You're welcome for us MTs keeping things in TAT. Glad you're so thrilled. How about you just quietly enjoy the bonus we earned for you rather than sending us blithering thank you emails. Most of us know by now that you receive this bonus off our backs, so your gushy emails simply smack of rubbing that fact in. I don't feel appreciated at all when I read them; I feel completely taken advantage of. ...

We used to get the monthly production bonus as a separate check on the 25th. I didn't get a separate check for this although I should have qualified. Paltry as it is, every little bit helps.

Can anyone help? Is the month ...

Have you found that it's getting less and less for the VERY SAME AMOUNT OF LINES? I got a smaller bonus (piddly as it is) this month for MORE lines than I produced a few months ago and got a larger bonus for. I know the bonus is pretty much based on some kind of whim and/or some computations that require a master's degree in mathematics to figure out, but it would sure be nice if they could be consistent. I guess I should be glad I get one at ALL at this point. ...

Anybody heard anything solid, or not so solid, about this? I can't seem to get any information on a date for disbursement. And now that the DSP and nDSP were messed up on the last pay period (resulting in erroneous QC Percent scores), I'm afraid it's going to be delayed even more while that gets corrected/ironed out through another pay period. Maybe somebody else's team lead is a little more in the know or more communicative about what's going on? ...

TransTech in TX is offering a $500 sign on bonus for experienced oncology MTs & MEs. Perhaps the tables are turning. I'm already working as one, but am not the least bit happy with the account as the reports are only a few seconds long and the busy work between each one takes longer than the transcription - thus you are not paid for half the work you do. MTSOs need to recognize this and that there is competition, i.e. TransTech! Do I hear $600!? ...
