mandatory - overtime
Posted: Oct 10, 2012
Anybody enjoying the mandatory overtime. Yea funny how we are on mandatory overtime and then get an email that states that if you run out of work, you are required to email them and flex your time and can only make it up after 5 p.m. So again, you are required to check for your work throughout the day and if there is no work, sorry for your luck and if you want to be "lucky" enough to be employed w/ Nuance, you will then have to sign in and work on your off shift to make up your hours/lines.
Doesn't mandatory overtime mean there is work ON YOUR SHIFT to work. Not have to be chained to your computer all day and night to make your counts. Whatever. Anything else they would like us to do and pay us dump wages to do?? I'm sure they will all come up with something else and of course we have nothing better to do b/c our lives revolve around Nuance and their mismanagement of shifts.
Mandatory OT? - Crazy
[ In Reply To ..]Must be for certain employees/India?
i'm - american
[ In Reply To ..]probably just my account, just insane. If it is required for you to do, then the work should be there on your shift in the first place and if its not there, you should not be required to make the time off on your off shift.
Overtime must be nice - No work for me
[ In Reply To ..]I sit day after day with NSA. No OT on any of my accounts. Perhaps better management would allow everyone to have work and not have some with zero work and some working mandatory overtime. This company is so ridiculous.
We must be on the same account. s/m - me
[ In Reply To ..]I did 3 hours of OT last week. I do NOT work on my 2 days off, period. This week, I have not worked OT. If they want extra out of me, then pay a better salary to begin with. Better yet, pay hourly. I'd work all the OT they'd want. I have a life and it does not include being a slave to Nuance. And yes, I am job hunting. Even McDonald's looks better this place.
mandatory OT - mt20years
[ In Reply To ..]I have been complaining about this for almost a year. Run out of work during the week and they want you to work your only DAY OFF during the weekend. Yeah, right. That won't be happening.
Oh, and I have complained about being out of work to my TL. I was put on so many different accounts with different specs it was impossible to keep up quality.
Nuance is the worst managed company I have ever worked for. I don't know how they keep getting away with this insanity.
Because they get away with it. We all still work here. ugh. - me
[ In Reply To ..]The migrant workers in my state are treated better and PAID better than we are. Nuance along with a multitude of other companies are getting away with this treatment because we all need a job and have to stay here. I have been job hunting from the first week I signed on with this place. It's hard to find something. I've worked from home for over 15 years. No customer service experience, no phone experience, the list goes on and on.
most likely - same account
[ In Reply To ..]It depends on my what kind of work I had during my normal hours to if I am feeling like it to put in even a minute over. I loved how it stated if you are out of work on your shift to send an email and flex your time and can only make it up after 5 p.m. that night. Yes so let me have no work on my shift, send you an email and keep checking back and then have no life at all and work then that night as well. Pay me better and I will work all day and night for them, but pennies for pay isn't motivation enough for me. What happens is you work their "OT" hours on your time that is to be off and then you don't have work on your shift, so you really are not making the OT pay b/c you don't have enough hours in to get the OT pay. It sucks!! Pay me a NICE HOURLY WAGE. At least being paid hourly I would be paid to do all the extra work that we have to do just to get the dirt dictations done.

Mandatory Meetings - DSG
Apr 22, 2010
How can a company order you to attend mandatory conference calls and mandatory HIPAA training and mandatory platform training sessions and not pay you for your time? Every time they send an e-mail for something such as this, they refuse to pay, even for an hour of time. They tell you these meetings and conference calls are a bonus for you, and that they are saving you money by you not having to pay for them someday (do I look like I just fell off of the turnip truck?). They mus ...

It is not enough that we have to learn account specifics "on our own time", read the constant silly e-mails "on our own time", but now we have to do mandatory training "on our own time." Oh, yeah - and we have to pass the class with a test at the end too! I feel like I am in a volunteer job! Hmmmm, I ...

Just like the post below stated, House of Delgates known as (HOD) from AHDI is wanting everyone to ensure patient safety and the integrity of patient records, all persons involved in creating, editing, organizing, or transmitting protected health information should be formally trained and hold credentials relevant to those duties. To that end, AHDI should move forward with the support of its leadership in actively advocating for mandatory credentialing by whatever means that can be accompl ...
Mandatory Weekends....why?
Apr 09, 2011
Why do MTSOs require weekend coverage for every one of their accounts? I have 2 and have work up the yin yang during the week but come Saturday, I'm watching paint dry. My MTSO requires 1 weekend day, at least 4 hours. I changed my weekend shift TWICE to work during the "busy" dictation times and I'm still NJA. Now that it's getting nicer outside, I've got plans and wanna have a life again. The higher ups get off every weekend, why can't we, or at least rotate? I do ...
TT Mandatory Training
Jun 10, 2011
In my state, they are required by law to pay. I called the labor board to verify. By law, they have to pay if you are a non-exempt employee. I can't file a complaint until the training is completed, but I can do it online the same day as I complete the training. They (labor board) also advised that I keep emails and attach them to the complaint. Unfortunately, it could take up to a year to get the money - my state is sloooow in resolving issues. Even still, my ...

Mandatory Certification?
Jan 14, 2012
I was told by someone who attended a recent ICD-10 academy (for trainers) that the OIG is requiring all (current) coders to be certified by the October, 2013, ICD-10 implementation date. I am aware of the OIG's compliance guidelines, but nowhere in that document do I find anything about mandatory certification. Also, I am not sure if they meant certified in ICD-9 or 10, but it is my understanding that the last ICD-9 CCS/CCS-P exam will be given in March, 2013, and at this point nobod ...

Mandatory Credentialing
Oct 16, 2012
I was thinking... mandatory CMT credentialing might not be a bad thing. I'd have no problem passing that exam, but would the Indian MTs? If CMT were a requirement for ANY MT transcribing/editing US-based medical dictation, I think we'd lose our Indian partners pretty quickly. If AHDI could ("would" is probably more appropriate) make this happen, I'd gleefully pay CMT dues and attend all the seminars, etc. ...

What Are The Mandatory ADT Fields?
Feb 25, 2013
I interpret mandatory fields as being those in the upper area that says mandatory plus any fields listed in the CP as mandatory. I interpret the lower fields listed as optional ADT (Alt I) as optional unless stated in the CP as mandatory. There are some accounts having problems with physician names not printing out right and have to be re-researched and entered. These are shown as having a question mark before their name. But, 99% of these have been in the Alt I fields, i.e., optional fields ...
