In Reply to: Missed conference call...(sm) - MDIMT

Briefly, Transcend is working hard to try to keep SE as an option for us and it sounds like it will probably happen. Employee status may not start until April 1. If you make 10+ cpl you will get a 0.5 cpl decrease if you take the benefits package, no line rate decrease if you make under 10 cpl and take benefits. Transcend pays 80% of health premiums, you pay 20%, cost schedule to come out soon I think. Schedule is 40 hours for employees, no time clock, using honor system, you write down how many hours you worked in a 24-hour day. Weekends will be what you already work or agreed to work when you hired on.

I know I'm not alone in saying I feel so much better about things after the call. The specific answers were really not expected but were very much appreciated. I was on the fence before but I'm staying put, hopefully at SE status but thinking about employee now seeing how minimal the pay decrease is for taking benefits.
