I remember one co I worked for that paid weekly

Posted By: Old old old MT on 2006-04-20
In Reply to: 6 weeks first check - Sandy54

and on that first paycheck from Monday to Friday, the check was in the bank. We were paid by the hour though and worked in-house (a service). They gave you the benefit of the doubt with the 40-hr week and I guess if anything had happened during the week, they would adjust it out the next.

I also worked for another MT service as a remote employee that paid weekly. The pay period would end I think on Sunday and the money was in the bank on Friday so you just had a 4-day wait.

I love weekly pay. Makes the week just fly by! That also requires a very very organized payroll dept and the service has to have enough backup money in the bank, which is smart for any company.

I wish all companies paid like that! LOL

Those weeks would just fly by if they did.

Remember QA is paid to find fault..sm
I've been there and they can be maddening.  On top of the nitpicking, if you get more than 1 QA person, they'll be contradicting each other.  Do one thing, #1 corrects it, so you do it her way.  Along comes #2, and you did it wrong, so you do it #2's way.  Don't take it personally and remember THEY'RE PAID TO FIND FAULT WITH YOUR WORK.  You know that you know your stuff.  If it gets to be too much of a hindrance, I would contact management to let them hear YOUR side of the story; wouldn't count on it, though.  In addition, a lot of the QAs get so uppity in their holier-than-thou attitude, some downright rude.  Good luck.
REMEMBER-QA IS PAID TO FIND FAULT...SM
 15 months??  I would think about 2 weeks should be enough, maybe a bit more if learning a difficult account.  (I was on a difficult Oncology account for about 4-5 weeks but that was because the supervisor doubled as the only QA person).  But your case is extreme and just another example of MT abuse by management.  I would contact my supervisor and give them an ultimatum...you have every right, long overdue.  Do you know how this QA is taking food off of your table and how much time she has literally stolen from you???  You could be doing your PAID work instead of the constant, inconsistent feedback back & forth with these egomaniacs, who really need to get off of their high horse.
Weekly? Services are lucky if they get paid twice a month. Generally, services bill out to their

I remember some posts at the beginning of the year from a lady who didn't get paid - she was stea

Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid

I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us.  We have christmas coming up.  I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it.  I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too.  How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us.  How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid.  She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously.  Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on. 


To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late.  I sincerely hope you get your last check.


I remember Medical Records Corporation, worked there, SM
then it became something like Medical Records Group and then Medquist. It kept going down, down, down..... Sad.
I worked for someone who paid 9 cpl on a 55 BCL..seemed like a rip-off.
I did a whole page of dictation which ended up being like 30-35 lines..No thanks.
If you worked, you should get paid. It is a risk on both parts. I would sm

call them and ask why you were not paid. 


I have heard lately about companies that do not pay on time, are constantly late, never the right amount, and it amazes me that people continue to work for them.


If you just started with them and left, you still need to be paid for thew work you performed.


hosp I worked for paid IC MTs $1.25/min for 2000 min/mo and
??
I worked for ProScribe then Cymed and none of them paid OT
Yuck.
When I worked in-house I was paid by the hour....

only had to maintain 135 lph...but I never heard of anyone who was reprimanded for not maintaining that. The nice thing was the hourly pay (between $13 and $17 an hour) whether there was work or not, PTO, etc. Had work 98% of the time and if not we could go down to medical records and help out or go home early.


I worked for them briefly, and (apparently amazingly) did get paid. sm

BUT, it is not worth the time.  The work was easy -- clinic work -- and I was already famliar with Bayscribe, so I thought maybe it would justify taking a lower rate of pay (8-1/2 cpl, I think) as the ease of the work would result in more lines.  WRONG ... Their method of line counting hurts you tremendously.  They do not pay for spaces, and then add in 10%.  At MDI, I average 300-350 lines per hour doing acute care.  With eTranz's method of line counting, I only did 250 lines with my fingers flying!  SO ........ WAY less pay, much fewer lines ... didn't make sense to jump ship for that. 


And, I must say, I found their QA person to be very snippy/snotty.  Any questions I had were usually met with some kind of sarcastic reply.  No one needs that. 


If I had seen all of the warnings about no pay, I would not have even considered the position in the first place.  Sometimes I suffer from the is the grass greener somewhere else syndrome, but I never leave because fact is, it isn't (for me, that is).


Good luck in your job search.  :-)


I worked for them shortly. They were very nice and paid well and on time. sm
This what I did not like. On the account I had, each report had to be saved separately and then individually sent. It seemed to take a lot of time monkeying around with each separate file which was only about 10 to 11 lines long. I do know that not all of their accounts are like this. They were extremely nice people and paid well!!
The company I worked for paid by the dictation minute as well. They said sm

that was the only way to know what you had transcribed, since there is already so much information there.  If I remember correctly, it was something like Meditech where you are typing in the patient's actual chart.  It didn't work out to be very profitable for me, but perhaps this company has a better system.  The company I worked for was MedTran Unlimited or something like that.  I was only part-time, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.  After a few days, I realized it wasn't going to work out for me and so I gave my notice, and so they didn't pay me for the training or any of the work I had done.  I haven't read anything bad about MD-IT, so they might work with you and make it worth your while.


Good luck.   And thanks for the compliment on my doggie -- she is very much my baby. 


Every company I have worked for (5 total) has paid twice a month. sm
Every two weeks would be too hard to manage. I get paid on the 10th and 25th, so I pay all my bills on the 12th and 27th, which works out perfectly for me.
I've worked for Ubiqus for 2 years now and I get paid every two weeks.
I really enjoy the work because it's advisory board meetings, round table discussions, and big conferences of all fields of medicine.  I started with them right after I graduated and I've never done any of the doctor dictation, I like this work better.
Sounds like a company I worked for. I did get paid in full but I sure know how you feel!

Can you post or email me just the initials of company and I'll let you know if this is the same one.  It has happended to me by more than one company in my time as an MT


Disagree with this. Every company I've worked for paid for normals.

I worked there a long time ago. FInally got paid by going in with a group who got a lawyer. sm
I can't believe they're still in business!
Yeah, be careful. I worked for MTSO that "said" they paid for spaces. I had to work really S

hard for my lines.  Took a second job part-time with hospital, same platform (EXText), same font size, etc. and did the same amount of lines in half the time.  Decided to look closer at the MTSO and found out they weren't counting spaces.  I confronted them and all of sudden.  Got lots of apologies and will add to your next paycheck.  Long story short, never happened and I never had any work after that. 


There are a lot of unscrupulous MTSOs out there.  They lie, cheat, and steal!

Weekly pay

Hi All,


I was wondering if anyone knew of any good companies who pay weekly.  I have a full time position, but I would like to have a part-time position which pays weekly.  Thank you so much

QED in Arkansas and NEMT do. Have you searched on here because I think others have asked this before, but these are the only two I remember.

Does anyone know of any companies that pay weekly? sm

I am in a bit of a financial jam and need a quick fix until I get paid on Nov. 27.  Any ideas?


TIA


There are companies that pay weekly sm

EFD in Texas, New England Medical Transcription (NEMT) and a company called On-Call, although neither of these companies have had ads posted recently.  Hope this helps. 


Also, have you ever thought about working for a temp service.  They usually pay weekly.  I don't know where you are located and how many temporary services are in your area, but I think this would be worth a try, considering your circumstance.

OTI gives you a weekly quota. sm
You work when you want during the week. They ask you to commit to one weekend day.

Furthermore, I was on only one account, and worked that same account every day. The work was plentiful. Since I wasn't hopping around on various accounts, I customized everything and made a zillion macros. It was very good for money.

It was the best job I ever worked. I had to leave because I needed benefits.
950-1000 weekly?

Ccompanies that pay weekly?
Can anyone give info on companies that pay weekly?  Leaving mine and kind of used to that in the ole budget now;-)  Just got a call from one company that paid well but MTs were paid from the 1-15th on the 30th - and certainly would not work here. 
QED pays weekly nm
nm.
You should be able to see weekly and monthly
below the counts for the day. My understanding is that each day is reset at midnight (facility server's local time), each week on Saturday at midnight, and each month on the last day of the month at midnight (again, facility's local time zone).

So you can see the current day, but only summaries for the previous week and month, not individual previous days.
IC Pay weekly or biweekly

Weekly ISR reports
I am getting frustrated with them scrutinizing my every keystroke with the weekly ISR reports and obscessing about whether I am using Ctl D or not, when the real problem lies with the poor quality of the ISR! If they are going to lower our pay, then they should provide us with a quality platform that justifies the low pay. And if we are going to be paid on a production basis, then provide us with the means to be productive! Why can't they get that? We will produce more, which means they will make more money. Common sense to me.
Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
