check bounced
i got a check from cortmedical and it bounced. they have still not bothered to pay me. it has been over one month since i have been trying to get the check from them but unfortunately i still have not got it yet.
Bounced check?
I would call the National labor board ASAP and report them. They will get your money to you and possibly take legal action against the company. Good luck!
Bounced check
What do I do with a bounced check from an MT company?
Bounced Check
Unfortunately, the owner is avoiding everyone...I want to take legal action.

Please let us know who it is from so we do not go there. You can use initials.
WELL THE CHECK BOUNCED!!

OK, another update-- THis chick paid my friend but THE CHECK IS NO GOOD!!


She won't answer her phone.  She gives lies on IM.


So the MT has now worked an entire new pay period and likely won't get paid for that either.  


okay, this is what most people do when they get a bounced check - sm
they take the check to the police, who in turn will file a report and then an arrest can be made. I have been in this business 18 years, and yes I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ARRESTED!!! The absolute hardest state to get this done in is in Florida, but if you know the right people and can push the right buttons, it can be done.

Now, ETRANZ is in GEORGIA, so start doing the leg work and stop waiting for the checks. If this business files for bankruptcy, you may be S*** out of luck for any check, depending on how it is done. If this company is filed as an Inc, then you may also be SOL because of the laws in various states.

So stop calling them and contact your police department.
apparently didn't work so well, that check she sent bounced! DMF!

I've worked there 7 years and had what I thought was a problem with my check, but that was

due to MY mistake. I accidentally counted lines typed after midnight on the last day of the pay period and thought I would get paid for them. It was when I first started. They actually cut me a check for those lines that day. Glad I work close to the office.


Just to clarify for you, Grace does the paychecks on site. If there is a problem with your check, call the 1-800 number and ask for Grace or email Grace@medwaremt.com. She will check the problem and fix it right then and there. Don't go to the team leader, go to the person who does the checks. Her office is also right next to the Flannery's so it not a big thing to get them signed.


No, my check has been late 2 times in 3 years, PO fault, not StatIQ's.
I don't think you have to worry in the least that they are not paying you. I guarantee it has been lost in the mail. Please do call them. The times mine has been late, I have called and always been told if it is a week late to tell them and they will re-write a check and send it. They want to know if you don't receive it.
I have bounced around (sm)
from company to company looking for a job that I enjoy, pays a decent rate, respects me as an employee, and understands I am a human being with a family, home, etc. And finally I found all that at DeVenture! I could not be happier.

Also, paid time off is calculated individually, not some artificially low hourly rate that punishes those working the hardest (and making the most) when they take time off.
if you're being bounced around
on different accounts -- have you ever talked with your mgr? asked to be left on your main account the majority of the time? Do you communicate?

I see the stats -- as should you every day -- there is NOT a lack of work at SL, and i have seen no difference with the new MTs being on-board (affecting what i am given in the workpool), experience no obvious problem with cherry-picking.

You know communication is a 2-way street -- if you are unhappy about something, talk to your manager -- try to effect a change, unless you'd rather complain of course.
RE: Bounced checks
I had this happen to me recently too twice and I will never work for that company again. That is not good business. 
Bounced checks
Check with your state. Bounced checks are a criminal matter, and each state has guidelines for you to collect your money. Here it's through the DA's office.

Bounced checks again at D&L
This is not the first time this has happened and there was always a good reason but has anyone else had checks bounce from D&L Typing Service lately or is it mine and their reason is valid? They seem to be hiring, so they have money coming in - and always a lot of work for me - what is going on? do these people really have that many problems with a bank or do they not put the money earned by their company into the account like they should? I am not working for someone else's bills to be paid, I am working for mine. I see a lot of posts asking about them but no one ever responds - is this the norm for D&L Typing Service - have I just been lucky until now? Does any one pay their employees without bouncing a check? Can anyone be honest with me please.
bounced checks
I just want to remind everyone who has allowed the MT companies that bounced checks on you all, and in turn causing you to have bounced checks - that even if they reimburse you - your credit is screwed.

D&L is scrambling to make good on checks and if they succeed many of you will forgive, may not forget, but you will continue working.

Have they paid you late fees, interest, have they made up the credit problems you now have.

Why do we allow this to happen? I am so fed up and tired of this nonsense. If any company does not pay you on time as stated in their hiring information - fine them, charge them, and certainly if they bounce checks Press Charges. Do not accept their wink and apology - they will continue to do this with you or others.


bounced checks
There are multiple posts here on the subject especially lately - contact the DA office and press charges, contact the labor board and file claim. If they decide to cut and run, claim bankruptcy - your claim will be there and you could potentially be reimbursed, otherwise potential loss. Do not let these companies get away with this. Post the name so we can all be warned. A bounced check from another person could still ruin your credit - nothing can make that up.
bounced checks
Donot let them get away with it - Recently a company hs been noted on here bouncing thousands of dollars worth of checks - sent out replacement checks and those funds are no good either - there is a web site to post for civil charges and national charges - you are entitled up to 500.00 for each check they bounce once demand has been made - file your claim now. If I could post the site I would - Google - national check fraud center - all information is there
Pay cut/bounced checks
Hello I have been working for MedTrans for quite a while now. I have had 2 checks to not clear my bank, and I have just been informed that I along with other hard working people will be receiving a 10% cut in our pay, because after 3+ years they have just realized they are losing money. Beware!
What about pay..on time? bounced checks?
nm
Tried to e-mail but it bounced. You download from
a secure site, usually via an FTP site that your company has setup.  You download to a folder on your hard drive, the same as if you were downloading music or a program.  You then use a foot pedal connected to your computer that is compatible with the software program to play the files.  There are still lots of companies who for some reason have not converted to digital files though, or require you to be type into their system live. 
I had the same thing, not bounced but not in the bank. Will never do
it again. Once may be explainable. Twice or more there is no excuse.
Sounds like my job now except I'm being bounced from account
to account with all totally different client profiles.  On the 10th different one today already.
Not them but CorT bounced my friends 3 checks. nm
.
you are correct. Newbies aren't sure and bounced around.
nm
present those bounced checks to your employer - sm
when you were hired, you were told when your paydays would be. There was no warning or notice made ahead of time that paychecks would be late. THEREFORE, your employer is responsible for the bounced check fees that were caused by the direct deposit being late!!! This is for direct deposit only - NOT FOR PAYCHECKS arriving by mail. Checks arriving by mail could be held up as a result of the postal service, carrier, etc. Therefore, your employer is not responsible for checks bounced because of that.
If ONE of my checks EVER bounced, I'd be gone. Obviously there are pay issues. I agree with you
in that I also smell mgt. I mean truly numerous people always complaining about pay issues and yet ONE person does get paid on time.. very fishy to me. I smell management. Time to move on
AccustatEMR's direct deposit BOUNCED....
I heard that all the direct deposits BOUNCED, even for their office staff...anyone out there got the scoop?  Have they lost the accounts they were on?  What's gonna happen to their MTs? 
Cut in pay/bounced checks/losing money
I have worked for this company for quite a while now. I have been very happy with them, until recently when they decided that they were going to cut my pay and other hardworking people's pay by 10% because they are losing money. They have had these accounts that they are losing money on for 3+ years and are just now realizing they are losing money. I have also had more than 1 of my paychecks to bounce. Beware!
Direct deposits can bounce too...and CTS bounced those as well!

Does anyone work for the Buffalo/Amherst office of MQ and do you get bounced around a lot on
accounts or do you have a main mostly. What can you tell me about these people.
response to bounced checks and "too picky"

Please, do not let those untrue postings affect your decision to work for The MT Group.


This is Melanie (the one who posted the job for The MT Group).  The MT Group was started in 1996, and we have NEVER EVER EVER EVER bounced someone's check nor shorted the check.  We ask all of our ICs to turn in their line counts at the end of every pay period.  If they do not match what we have, I contact the IC so that we can compare.  Very rarely do I need to go that far.  When I put in our job post that we are honest and fair, I was being honest.  I was very discouraged to read that posting. 


As far as pickiness about spaces.  It is common knowledge that there should be two spaces after a period, and yes, we do expect that.  I can't help but think that the person who posted that reply just had a big problem with using two spaces.


And moodiness??  Who was moody?  The transcriptionist?


 


They only paid me half of what I earned and it bounced - three times.
stay away from them as far as you can!
Klaar....habitually late and a multitude of bounced checks..

The owner has no sense about this at all.  He will wait until you call to say your check is late and then say he will over-night it...right.  And there is NOTHING like paying your bills with your paycheck only to find out 10 days later that the paycheck bounced. 


Burn me once....shame on you


Burn me twice ... shame on me...I moved on.  Some people are still struggling.  Also, just if anyone is interested.  It is actually illegal to bounce checks and you can hire a constable (around $75 I think) in the town/area of the office to arrest the person writting the bad check.  The person will be taken to jail and will have to post bond to be released. I have considered doing this but I am from a different state and haven't looked into the details of doing it out of state.   


Tried to send you a msg, but it got bounced back. Can you give us the initials of this place
s
Yours may not but mine does, in fact, they posted a charge and it bounced (inside)
as I thought my check would be there. I could have avoided this by moving money from my savings account but I forgot.

Does background check include credit check?

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

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!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm

I talked to them today. They want 3 years in a hospital or 5 years combination sm
hospital and at home or clinic and at home. For radiology, they want 3 years full time radiology. I thought they were very nice and I have a few friends that work for them and are happy. The pay seems average to high for what I am seeing now. I think they are 0.08 per line or 1.08 for radiology. Beats what I will have with the new MQ program.

I worked on site for many years. I've been doing this for 10 years... sm
I've worked on site, at home, for small MTSOs, for nationals, for hospitals. I've been paid per line, per minute, and per hour. I've been an MT and a QA. I have ALWAYS worked weekends and ALWAYS worked nights for the shift differential because MTs can't survive on 6 or 7 cents a line. At least I can't and I type 105 wpm.

I've BEEN dedicated from day 1, sister, so you are barking up the wrong tree.
15,000 lines per pay period. 8 years with KS, 6 years on this account! nm
Not going anywhere else!
30 years - this WAS my career. The last few years you guys have ruined it.
You work 9-5? Big deal. I work more than you do. I bet I work harder too. Treat US with respect, lady!

Don't talk to us like that and don't expect us to kiss your feet. Kiss ours for a change!
See if you'll be producing more after 30 years of MT'ing and at 50+ years old.
I don't think so. My income increased every year also, until I reached age 50 and 30 years of MT'g, been downhill ever since.
It wasn't tough 5 years ago. Or 10 years ago, yet

All the shifty, dishonest, greedy pigs in this country belong in JAIL.
Did MTfor 10 years; QA for 2 years and now
doing editing of speech/voice recognition.  I find all three to be very different.  MT you start with a blank page or a template, QA you have the whole document and you need to give a good quick read and check for correct name, MRN, formatting, and all blanks, etc., and if you know the MT you do not necessarily need to give the whole document voice to typed - editing is a whole 'nother thing.  From what I have seen so far - you have a document and you cannot count on anything being correct - you need to change almost everything in some cases - which is more difficult than a blank sheet as there is a lot of deleting and it is confusing.  It can be helpful because some of the medical words are in there and some of the drugs can be correct - and although I have found easier on the wrists some days - still very, very difficult.  You must match exactly voice to type because you cannot count on anything to be correct - JMHO
I think it just boils down to years and years of
If you kick a dog often enough, it's going to not only turn on you, but other dogs as well. Even though I made more money as an in-house MT, our managers were the worst. All greedy, self-serving women who lied, cheated, and made their way up the management ladder by stepping on those of us who worked under them. They created hostility, distrust and ill will in the office by pitting MT against MT (I suppose they figured it would keep the MT's from turning on THEM!), and the suspicion it bred created a hostile workplace like no other. I finally couldn't take it anymore and quit to work at home, for less than half the money. I'm lucky - I have an employer that at least treats me well, even though the pay stinks. But from what I've read here, that isn't the norm at all. So it's little wonder so many at-home MT's are ready to chew someone's head off. They're tired of being lied-to, cheated on line counts, disrespected, and at the same time expected to produce more and more work, with little to no mistakes. So it's little wonder we're all a mite cranky.
