& send separate checks for OT after MT reminds them
//
To MTSOs who send out RUBBER checks.....sm

Why don't you get OUT of business.  IF you cannot or just WILL NOT pay your ICs, then it is time for you to hang up the business.  Come one....do you really NOT have money to cover paying your MTs or are you paying yourselves FIRST!!!!!!!???


I promised myself, one more rubber check and I would involve the authorities, so be it, I dont care WHAT your explanation is...you KNEW that money was not there when you signed those checks. 


Well guess what, it's on now!!!


MTSOs who send out rubber checks

WOW...I can identify. Been there, done that, it sucks. But please....do not make yourself look stupid by threatening and filing police reports. The police can't do a damned thing. They will allow you to file a police report, but they can't do anything on collecting a hot check and it is a waste of your time.


call the district attorney's office in your city or county. depending on your state laws, you will probably have to send a certified letter...yelling on the phone may make you feel better but legally it is just a waste of time. Send the certified letter IMMEDIATELY...and then start counting the days. It is usually 10 days after he/she receives your demand letter...or more likely when you get the letter back because they would not sign for a certified letter. I send a certified letter and the same exact letter by regular mail. on the certified letter, at the bottom, type COPY SENT BY US MAIL THIS DATE...then if he/she does not sign for the certified letter, you are still covered. If you get the certified letter back as unsigned for, or if they sign for it, 10 days later if you have not received your money, go to the district attorney's office and file a cmoplaint. Be sure and take the check with you.  This is now a criminal issue. They can and will arrest the person who wrote the hot check...hope it is over the limit to be a felony in your area. Once you file the complaint with the DA, the whole thing will be handled by them. I can't begin to tell you how many times this happened to me...here is the thing: IF you work as an IC for an out of state company...there is nothing you can do to collect if they don't pay you. IF they give you a hot check, you can prosecute that...but if they just don't pay you, all you can do is file suit in THEIR STATE...not yours...and when you get to court and win, all you get is a piece of paper. Up to you to collect the judgment. If you are an employee and you don't get paid the labor board will collect or close down the business...as an IC...you are just typically screwed.


there has to be a better way to make a living...I really really feel for you.


those bonus checks aren't extra money...you would just get tw bigger checks rather than 3 checks

don't kid yourself


A few days ago, there were messages they were bouncing checks, writing bad checks, etc. Search the A

I dont mind background checks, but why credit checks!!!! nm

Anyone work for Smartmed LP?
I was just looking for some information about them.  I would appreciate any comments. 
I work for Smartmed also.
And yes, I'm one nervous MT waiting for her 2nd email!
NO WORK again today -- mgmt, are your checks LOW, too???? n/m

Who is making the money to keep your paychecks the same????


Is this really fair?  You mgmt people should be doling out some of your paychecks to us MT's who have NO WORK and LOW PAYCHECKS.


What spell-checks work with Transhealth, Precyse and Medquist? nm
nm
Exactly..who mails checks anymore. Even back in the day at work, every other Friday
our supervisors would pass out pay checks. Another thing...I think the OP is just trying to stir people up again, but why????
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
if they send work to someone who
offshores then quite simply they offshore
I work there, but cannot send an email.
How can I help you
All I know is that they send work overseas. nm
x
I just called them. They are in NY but send 100% of the work
out of the country. No thank you.
does not send work offshore
MedScript Services in Florida
Does OSI send work offshore?

If so I won't bother.  TIA


Who is LK -- know TT did send some work to another service, but

but please let me know what you are saying because we TT'ers are very interested in what you are saying to us all -- I just know there is something very wrong with my line count.  I have been doing this too long to not know how many lines I can get.  I cannot put my finger on the problem -- I just know it does fall in my lap. 


This is really disturbing to me.


They do not send work to Focus...sm
or get work from Focus. Please get your facts straight before making up stuff on these boards. If you think you can prove otherwise send me your information.
She's right TT does NOT send work offshore.
Never have and never will.  The day they do is the day I quit because I never have worked for a company that offshored and I never will. 
OSI does send offshore work

do they send escription work to
or just beyondtxt work to india? I have been on escription.. my last paycheck is barely 300 bucks (due tomorrow) as there was NEVER any work on the accounts i had
Yes they do send work to India
I know because they told someone I know who is a facility that they would if they wanted their work sent over there.
MDI does NOT send work overseas.

Do they send work offshore?
Just wondering.
even if they send work overseas...
Please help me find a company to work for that has WORK and pays on time. That is all I ask at this point.
You send the work in using their program, yes. I never ran out of work sm

but I was just working part-time, and this was about a year ago, so things could have changed.  Isabelle and everyone seem so caring, it is hard to believe that they would consistently have MTs without work, but that seems to be a curse of the industry lately.


Good luck to you!


I wonder why they don't send a lot or all of their work to India? That's where a lot of work&
nm
Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!
nm
Yes that is the company MQ uses to send work to India.
:
Batch receive/send work?
Is there any company out there where you can download work in batches and send back transcribed reports in batches?  I can only get dialup and it is too slow to do 1-3 jobs at a time.  30+ years experience, big 4 and Radiology, Medical and Radiation Oncology.  I am currently employed in hospital radiology department but want to go back home.  Hate this winter driving!!!
Which nationals do not send work out of the country?

Which nationals do not send work out of the country? I need to find another job.


TIA.


Keystrokes is and will not send work out of the country. sm
The owners feel strongly about that.
Webmedx does NOT send work to India.
.
They don't send work to anyone. Period. You can take that to the bank.
x
Transcend most certainly does send work to India.
And they are proud to have these partners
I really wonder how much cheaper it is to send work overseas. When you
think about it, IC here gets about 4 cpl for VR and about 8 or 9 for straight typing.  Overseas they have to go through a middle man or whoever owns the services and you cant tell me they arent getting a decent cut of the cpl and paying 3 cpl or so to their people.  Just my thoughts.  I bet the cost is very close anymore to what we earn.  I see Delta is bringing its reservation call service back here from India because of all the complaints from US customers. I would expect it is the benefits here for employees that causes a problem costwise for MTs.
They send our American work to the Philippines,
Philippines you would not be allowed to work.  Americans cannot get jobs in the Philippines because they are saving them all for the Filipinos - don't know if we'd want them anyway but that is beside the point.  Doesn't seem fair, does it, that they can take our work away from us and we get nothing in return.
Does Transtech send work to India? nm
nm
Not hiring because they send most their work to India
 
Wbx doesn't even send work offshore. nm
.
Anyone know anything about Cbay at all in Maryland. Do they only send their work to India.
:
TransHealth does not send work offshore. Hires only US MTs. nm
 
None of the ones on the Job Seekers board send work outside the country. They
would not be allowed to advertise if they did.
I have no respect for companies that send work overseas
Don't you think we have enough people right here in the US without jobs? Instead of paying a decent wage for an MT, companies get greedy and undercut our workforce of extremely talented and hard working MTs of which a large percentage are single moms.
guess again, i'm inhouse and my sup would rather send out work to the agency
yep, to meet the TAT she will send it out, even if it means no work for the real hospital employees.
Anyone work for Excel Transcription out of IL - send me an e-mail nm
nm
I wonder if they hire US MTs on new accounts and then get rid of them and send the work to India
after it goes through SR or something and the system learns from the US MTs.
Are there any companies left who don't send work offshore?
?
