time clock hours off - sorebottom

Posted: May 28, 2013

Ok, I am wondering something. I work about 10 hours a day because I have back problems so I get up and walk around the house, then back to work. I'm not talking an hour walk around the house, I'm talking maybe 10 minutes tops. So in that 10 hours a day I get maybe 25 hours showing on webclock for the week. I've tried sitting longer and longer periods still at the end of the week I'm showing less hours, though my line count is 6000 and above. Is this just so they can keep me on part time status or am I doing something wrong on the time card? Thanks

Are you clocking in and out? - anon

I have never had any problems with Webclock being inaccurate. You can go back and look at the details of when you clock in and out.

No that is why I pad my day by working longer. I average 235 reports an hour on SR and do between 1200-2000 in a day. No way am I only sitting for 25 hours a week to produce that much, but I will be more diligent in clocking in and out even for the bathroom. Thanks for reminding me.

Sounds like someone is changing the hours so you don't get minimum wage make-up pay. hmmmm, messing with timecards is illegal.

Agree, if not clocking in and out, someone is altering timecard. - anon

I have never had my TL do anything like that. If she doesn't like how many hours I worked versus line count, she tells me to alter my time card, but she never does it herself.

She actually tells you to alter your timecard??? - LindaA

That is illegal. I am 1 of the 13 in the class action lawsuit against Transcend for that very same issue! Are you altering it then? I would challenge your TL and tell her that is illegal!

Yes, I have had several TLs tell me to "fix" timecard. - anon

It is always couched in terms of "make sure you are only punched in for active time."

However, I have zero interest in a class action lawsuit. I have been there, done that and nothing good came of it.

It is all of the legal action the MTSOs have faced that has caused the strict scheduling and inability to get lines in when you can. Prior to all of the lawsuits, there was much more flexibility in schedules and making up time. Now they have to adhere to the whole minimum wage thing so now there is zero wiggle room for the MT. I certainly do not feel it was a good change.

So, not on board for more legal action which will only result in more BS for the MT.

235 reports an hour, in your dreams.

Really? 3+ report a minute?? And that isnt figuring the time - it takes to even get IN a job. nm

Hope JeanneN from main board doesnt see this or she will - think MT is a viable option. nm

235 an hour? - wow

I sure hope she meant 235 lines an hour, not reports. Otherwise, I'm pretty dang slow!

235 LINES - sorebottom

Whoops, sorry, its lines not reports. yeah I would be dreaming a good dream if I could do that many reports LOL. Well I'm going to try the log in/out every time I step away and stick strictly to my schedule and see if it fixes my problem - otherwise I am going to have to ask for clarification from my super as to why I'm doing so much and the time is not reflecting it. Could just be a glitch on the system recording the time too. never know, willing to give benefit of the doubt until I find out otherwise. Thanks everyone for the feedback I appreciate it.

It has been inconvenient, and maybe a bit confusing at times, to check my time card hours for my shift as, because of my time zone, part of my hours show up on the next day because I work 2nd shift. I wonder if I will get overtime for yesterday, even though I did not work overtime. I had to start work several hours early because of maintenance, so all hours were completed before the hour my hours start showing up on the next day. Fine. But the last couple hours of yesterday show up as today, ...

My company was honest and upfront when we started using ChartNet. They told us that once you enter a report for VR, the time clock does not actually start for 60 seconds. Soooo.... this means if I did 30 reports, I add 30 minutes on my time sheet, right? Nothing was said about this for straight typing on ChartNet. We do both. Does anyone know if the time works the same on VR and straight typing for ChartNet? I have tried researching it, but I can't find a ...

The requirement for ICs to use a time clock is apparently to protect the service from being sued for unpaid labor, right? If you sign in honestly, i.e. whenever you are doing anything for this job with the service, tech tweaking, software installation, training, spreadsheets, research, phone calls, etc., etc., etc., it would put you into overtime and you are fired, right? I'm just curious if anyone is given written instructions to sign in ONLY when your fingers will be pounding the ke ...

Lest any of you would like to continue debating whether the "activity" mentioned is legal versus illegal. Transcend paid out MANY thousands for violating the laws you all are talking about and did so around 2006-2007 as did Softscript pay out many thousands MORE around the same time and there are no doubt more violations. I do not encourage you to continue being side tracked by the conflicting posts on this board but am quite confident you all will be. ...

It is my understanding from an attorney that if we are required to sit and wait for the work that is considered time worked. Keystrokes wants us to keep track of ONLY the time spent typing, any time spent NOT typing is NOT considered as time working according to them. You would have to rack up a lot of time just typing to get in those 40 hours in order to get paid overtime. By the way I have never been paid overtime even after 40 hours and when asked if I would receive it the anwer was ...

The truth is KS is being sued for not paying overtime. KS does not have time records and that is why it is being implemented now. I myself know overtime pay was not offered for anyone taking extra hours on my account. I also have e-mails to that effect. KS has not always paid overtime and if it was given it was to a select few or favorites. At one time gift cards were being given in lieu of overtime on certain accounts, which does not make up for the overtime m ...

Okay, I work very, very heavy hours, pushing 2000 to 3000 lines per day. I need more than 8 hours, and 40 hour weeks. How do I get around M*M on this? Do we actually clock in and out?

If it is going to turn around and bite them in the butt with DOL FLSA complaints? I assume the purpose is to have proof that their employees are are not working overtime, but with so many below minimum wage, can't DOL subpeona the time clock records to prove FLSA violations? Could it be time for all of us to file a complaint with our state DOL for minimum wage violations?

I'm sure I will get monitored for this. I am not asking for some suit have it in for me. Because I have run into this so much of the time, I am asking people what they are doing. 1) I approve time card on my day off because that is my day off. Takes about 10 minutes total. Donated time. 2) When I submit an IT ticket and I get a call back that is not when I am ordinarily work, and IT has to remote on to my computer because of some mess they made (and they made the mess), I am clocking in ...

Used to work for Transcend and loved that you input your own time card. You could put down 8 hours even if it took you 10 to make your lines/$. Sorry to see employees will now have to use that same stupid clock we all do. Not hard, just a pain in the (&*&. When we were acquired by Nuance we still use our old system with time clock built in and the new one too. Then the reduction in wages. All in all... not a joyful union. My sympathies are ...

Without a doubt, my production downfall has been the advent of being micromanaged and being held to "compliance."

I cannot sit for 8 hours...or even time it to two 4 hour shifts and produce. No room for last minute things that come up... Cannot go have lunch with a friend if the opportuni ...

I recently started working for a new MTSO and am employee-status for the first time. We use a time clock. My LPH is half what it should be due to the volume of horrid dictators. When that rare miracle happens and I get all good dictators for an hour my LPH double and meets requirement. My concern is: How many are fired because they don't meet the required volume for fear of FSLA suits? Is this still happening like it was a year ago? What can we do when the l ...

Or only certain time of the year? With all the NJA the stress of trying to stay FT and get my 40 hours in killing me. It's getting next to impossible to get 40 hours anyway, so I figure I'd go to PT of 30 hours and stop stressing. My CCM says I'll most likely lose my health benefits anyway if I continue not getting my 40 hours in. ...

A year ago I lost my primary and had to transfer to a new CCM, she was getting a new account that only sent us work evenings and weekends, so to keep my job I chose those hours but then as time went on asked to have some day hours on other accounts. But that has put me up to 38 hours. Now I want to cut back to 24 hours and am having a hard time getting my CCM to take the time see where I can cut. Been with this company for 16 years (before we had to clock in and have a schedule...fullti ...
