Tying payment to their payment is fine
if they tell you that up front. Once bitten, twice shy.

They still have not paid me although Sonja Sacoleman made a promise on contacting me for payment but up to now... still nothing!
Alliance Payment Anyone??
Anyone receive payment recently from Alliance?  Waiting for over a month.  Told they pay weekly when hired.  TIA
eScription Payment
Yes, when you become accustomed to editing, you can generally edit at a rate of 400 to 700 lines per hour. It usually takes about a month or two to get used to the editing process. It is important that you learn the eScription shortcuts in the beginning, so that you don't get bad habits. In particular, ALT-K is very important to learn.


Ascend Payment
I am working for Ascend now for three uears. They have a policy of each 15 day pay period paid 15 days after the period is closed. If the disbursement date is on week end it will get delayed. I never had an issue and I average about $0.12 per line.

There are folks who do not complete their paperwork or do not submit their production data on time do get their pay delayed.

Ascend also gave me a loan last year and subtracted agreed upon installment from my earned wages.

I like working for them. Plenty of work, good pay.
Yes, I received my payment
Yes, I have received my payment as promised. 
Payment at DeVenture
I have been working for them for over a year and have never had a late payment.
Demand for payment
Send her a demand for payment letter with 10 days to pay you. Send it certified with return receipt. State that further action will be taken if payment is not received by you in 10 days, and add that interest will begin to accrue on the balance. In the meantime, see if you can find other MTs who are owed money by this same person. If it's only you, they know you won't take the trouble to travel to their state to file in small claims court. If you have several people, you can file a class action suit in federal court. That's what worked for me a few years ago with a company in California.
No payment from MTSO

I was hired my a MTSO without asking for my social security number or driver's license.  I did not sign an IC agreement or HIPPA paperwork.  She only verbally told me what I was and verbally did not want any contracts signed. I was told I was a subcontractor, but I refuse to work anymore for her.  She is now telling me she cannot cut me a check without having my SS#.  I am telling her cut my check and then we can make arrangements for her to pick up her computer.  Who is right?  I have no gurantee that she is going to pay me and why ask for my SS number now?


WRONG! Their payment policy is (sm)
Pay periods run from 1-15th, and 16-30 or 31st of each month. Payment is twice monthly. PLEASE NOTE: For example; If you begin your employment with them today, July 20, you would work from July 20 to 31st (that's 12 days). You THEN add the 30 days, meaning you will be paid after having worked 41 days. If you're going to make a post regarding a subject matter as paramount such as this, make ***** sure it is accurate. I am reporting your post under the guidelines of being defamatory.

There have been payment problems with them. Hayseed
used to work for them but quit.  Don't know if she has posted any of that here or just on another board. 
I would send a demand for payment
that you have that as proof.  Give them x amount of days to pay up or you will take further legal action.  Also make note in the letter of the disconnected telephone number.  Then you'd need to file a complaint for the money due. 
Payment of taxes question
You don't have to wait and pay your estimated taxes quarterly? I thought it had to be done that way. Please let me know. Thanks.
There have been payment problems in the past. Check the
archives.

Isnt this the company with intermittent payment
x
Rather than worrying about notice here, if my house payment
were in jeopardy, I'd hightail it to another position ASAP. Then, I would not put this company on my resume, and if you were there for a short time, just say you took time off for a brief period to research jobs. To me, my bread and butter need not be played with. And the creditors think that even more. Good luck to you, but whatever you do, remember it is not you, it is there are more cheesy MTSOs in this business than not.
Should you keep working as an IC when you haven't received payment from last month?
I am working as an IC and still have not received payment from last month.  I also had to pay $75 deposit for their software.  My MTSO recieved my invoice from last month and nothing.  They just keep sending me work and I am still being nice.  My sister said no money, no work and do not do the work until I get my check.  Is she right?  My MTSO has recieved my invoice and let me know they have it.  Any suggestions?
You weren't there, you don't know..

They used to dock for errors and late payment was an issue. Don't know about recently. nm

My understanding was that in order to receive Medicare/Medicaid payment sm
providers will be required to have EMR.
Then you weren't there for the last pay period which should be DD on the 5th and was not done unt

And like I said, if you weren't typing SM

the stuff, they'd have nothing to come back to you with.  And how did they get angry with you anyway?  Did you respond to their feedback with negativity and not take responsibility for knowing your account or the basics of transcription?


From knowing many people with your type of attitude over the years, 9 times out of 10 they are people who have the same problems at every job, don't take feedback well, think they are right all of the time and just generally cause problems.  Instead of taking responsibility for your part in doing a job, you lay blame on your supervisors, other employees, etc. 


They weren't even bad. I don't know why they were deleted sm
unless the name-calling started again. That is the only reason they are deleted. I wish they would've stayed as there was a lot of information from both the company and others and none of it really ugly unless someone blew it as usual.
They weren't very structured when I was there. SM
They pay okay, around 10 cents a line, but no benefits, no taxes taken out, no direct deposit, so that brings it down to about 6 cents a line.  If you want your check overnighted, you pay about $25 or $30 for that.  Otherwise it gets mailed and take a chance on when you get it.  Even having it overnighted does not always work.  I had three or four instances when my check was lost, twice for weeks at a time.  I'll stick with the more MT friendly companies who manage to pay 9 and 10 cents a line and still give full benefits and direct deposit. I don't mind working a weekend day now and then.
Heard they weren't less than 8 cpl.


Oh, I'm sure they weren't! But what I meant was, (sm)
not that we be contacted before the sale, but after. We sure haven't been getting any reassurance, here.
There weren't a lot of us left (sm)
I think there were a couple of accounts and we were waiting on some bids to come through but capital-wise apparently they could not keep operating waiting on potential accounts so decision was made to close.

I think we all knew it was potentially coming, just surprised that it happened so quickly. I have no hard feelings, but am nervous about finding new work as I have little experience looking for a job!
weren't they saying last year during
transcriptionists?  It was part of some contest or something.  Maybe that was a few years ago.
now I know you weren't talking to ME right?

Time for a registered letter to them with a copy of your invoice for payment within 10 days or
s
postings about them is that they weren't getting paid. nt
 
Who are you talking to. I did not say you weren't! Respond where you are
supposed to
They weren't rude with me, but a little disorganized and
not looking out for my best interests, but the interests of their client, which I guess is the way it should be since the client is paying for their services.  As far as I know there are 2 women that run this company, I have not talked with the owner and maybe she was the one rude, but the woman I dealt with was not rude, just a little dingy and maybe not 100% truthful about the company that she was recommending.  All TM did though was screen me and then I still had to go through the testing/interview process with the company.  I had had contact with the referred company previously and had even been offered a position with them, which I turned down.  The pay rate offered to me by TM and the pay rate offered to me by the company were the same.  I declined referral to the company, being that I had already declined an offer from them and I never heard from TM again. 
This is the price of doing business. If there weren't
something in it for you, you wouldn't be doing it - whether it be money, ego, prestinge, etc.  
I was hoping they weren't liars. sm
What a concept eh to think companies actually tell the truth once in a while.  I was hoping they would make good on their promise.  I have spent a lot of time making templates and such and did not want to start all over again.  OK, I get it now.  I told them I would not do anymore work until they sorted this out but I am looking elsewhere.  Thanks for the input. 
If you weren't looking for the job why'd you read it and post?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Don't come back saying you weren't warned!
Why bother to ask for feedback if you ignore it?
Makes me wish I weren't menopausal!
LOL
I could go along with that if it weren't for the "cheesy" part

Gosh, maybe. They honestly weren't bad.

I have transcribed much, MUCH worse ESL than what was sampled on their test.  When they asked me what percentage of ESL I had transcribed for in an average work day, I told them 20% or less and that's when they said that their work involved 80% ESL.  But man, that 20% that I got at my former job was some of the worst on the planet, I swear!
