I didn't HEAR of it being over $500 each month..I see it taken out of my check every 2 weeks..(sm

Posted By: Another Ohio MT on 2008-03-10
In Reply to: I was told this morning that it is in the works, final paperwork signed last Friday. sm - KS MT

$254 each pay period.  I honestly hope you're right that the final paperwork was signed last Friday because I had decided to have it discontinued after the March 15 paycheck and either look on my own or go without coverage for a while until I find a more reasonable plan.  The insurance itself is great but too high.  I can't imagine how you are paying only $184 per month and I have been paying over $500 since December 2006 for single coverage!

Every 2 weeks is twice a month :)

HUH? twice a month IS every 2 weeks nm
.
I said MAY NOT hear, didn't say you wouldn't hear. There is
a difference, and many people have said they knew they didn't do well on the tests, but still feel like they should have heard from companies and haven't. 
Call them. Something is not right. I was hired a month ago and started 2 weeks ago. sm
Call Laura or Becky in the office. They are both in tomorrow.
I'm glad for you. I couldn't have waited the month to 6 weeks or whatever sm

that y'all went through.  I'd be homeless. 


I hope your work flow continues to remain steady.  I know how scary that can be when the work dries up.  I have gotten so paranoid, I always work 2 and sometimes 3 jobs, just to make sure I am covered.  There is not a big enough cushion yet so that I feel comfortable the wolf will not be at my door. 


Again, congrats -- I'm sure you are relieved. 


Wow, in the non-MT world it can takes weeks to hear. nm

6 weeks first check
I'm wondering if it's me, or does anyone else think it is not right about starting a company and having to wait 6 weeks for the first check?  I applied to a company and they said if a person works 5/1 thru 5/31, the first check would be 6/13, and that would cover the first 2 weeks worked.  This is the second company I have found like that.  Even with direct deposit - that is a long time. 
6 weeks first check
This information should have been explained to you during the hiring process. Did you ask about this during your initial inquiry with the company? If not, you should have. This would have been a deal breaker for me.
I got my first check within 2 weeks when I started last February
I never had to wait a month.
It took me 9 weeks and 2 phone calls to get my check.
I had to leave voice mails and no calls ever returned, but I finally got my check.  I knew someone who was still waiting after 12 weeks. 
Have worked for them 8 weeks, haven't received a check yet. -nm

Forget my check is 2 weeks late, I am quitting my

job because I have to use some of my ink to print out paperwork.  If that is an honest-to-goodness complaint, you need a dose of reality.


A printer with ink will cost about $30 to $40.  My company owes me $900 in back wages and $900 in current wages.  Yes, I refuse to work any more until I am paid, but I am still out almost $2000.  All they say is check is in the mail. 


If you can put your MT-princess resume out there and get a better job that doesn't require you to spend thousands of cents on ink, you should go for it.


Some companies don't give that first check until 4 or 6 weeks have passed. Ck your contract. nm

Waiting for that first check is normal. Getting paid once a month is not.

NOT TRUE FOR ME! I only hear from her when she says my check is on it's way!
And it's always on time.  I am LOVING working for her and loving these accounts. 
If things are still the same, the owner is great, but you wait a month for your first check ... sm

and the pay is rather low ..... it was by character count ... amounted to about 7-1/2 cpl.... but the work was easy, clinic stuff.  I have no idea what she pays for VR, though.   She is a professional and good to work for.


 


Good luck!


I didn't hear anything about the new
benefits. I work for them and have not been told anything about a change in benefits for 2006!
I didn't hear anything and then I sent another after
I saw they had ortho editing...hope to hear something!!  Would like to know the details at least to know if I would be a candidate or not.
I didn't hear from them either.
I also know I did well on the test, but like most companies, not even the courtesy of a reply!
Called the labor board - LM overnited check after fooling around for a month or 2...nm

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that, I didn't think anyone used it anymore! I'm glad to hear so
I'll definitely check them out!
Didn't hear a thing.
Too good to be true, I guess.
Be glad you didn't hear.
Why? Stella and crew are psychopaths. You will pay them to use their software license to boot, won't be included in your contract, unless of course, my experience with them has changed that. I have a horror story to tell with this company, believe me.

The most controlling and thorougly unprofessional MTSO I have ever had the displeasure to work with. No wonder they are advertising...they can't keep good MTs.


You didn't hear wrong
They called me about being QA and we were told the same thing, you get paid for what you change, but you listen to everything.  Then they told me I didn't pass the test, did I want to type (why would they want a typist if you don't pass the QA test).  Then I told them no way, they called back months later and wanted to interview me for QA, so I talked to the lady, then they emailed back and said they had all they needed.  Can anybody see the bubble over my head?
wonder why I didn't hear that on my call
hmmmm
Did anyone hear from the MT w/the 2 flexible PT jobs? I didn't. nm
s
I didn't hear you describe being treated

like dirt.  If there are other things she did that were horrible, feel free to share.  You agreed to 6 cpl and meeting the courier.  If you are the employee with the least seniority and perhaps the least experience, it makes sense that you would get the most inconvenient work setup.  It's called paying your dues.  No need to call a successful businesswoman greeeeeeeeedy. 


So what did she do that was so awful? 


Now, did you hear me say I didn't love him? I just have a man who wants to pamper me and why not.
I have my own money too kiddo, I'm not that dumb! I have a great man and a great life here and I'm loving it! Lots of love, lots of free time and more importantly, not slaving at the computer for peanuts!
Yes, but if you called off suddenly a couple times a month because you just didn't feel like
:+
Didn't you hear the latest? They are wanting everyone to submit a name ...sm
change through the local chapters to be able to include everyone.

Who invited the Indians anyway???
I was on the conference call but didn't hear rates..Thank You! (nm)

Don't sweat it. Be glad you didn't hear back.

Double check - are you sure they didn't say
x
FUNNY - BUT YOU DIDN'T CHECK
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/69417.html
Are you talking about the one with the 2 radiology jobs? I didn't hear back either...nm
x
Sorry you didn't get your check. Guess different areas are different.

I didn't get paid, but work as been so low, my check won't be much anyway. :( nm

apparently didn't work so well, that check she sent bounced! DMF!

Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm

So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more.  I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company.  I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.


Yes, they are hiring now.  In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus.  I think it is all just acute care.  I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience.  Rhonda Durham is the recruiter.  I am sure she could answer any of your questions.  I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new.  The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.


Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.


Good luck to you.


Anyone that applied with Kathy Kirby hear anything yet? I am wondering how long it takes to hear a
response back
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.

The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.

Does background check include credit check?

"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

Hear, hear! (Or is it 'here, here?') LOL

I didn't say I didn't care, I just don't understand
why the sudden outrage over HL offshoring.  
Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
