In Reply to: There is no one mandating pay dates, but typically - me
for the lines I typed the previous month. Sorry to disagree with you, but there are no standard practice of pay as an IC. Employees should be paid promptly on the expected date, whether that be every two weeks or on the 15th and 30th of each month.

Does Keystrokes pay on 15th and 30th?nm
x
When I was hired I was told the 15th and 30th, but
handbook says 15th and last day of month. I sure was disappointed.
Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
I'm paid 1st and 15th

1st and 15th pay
I know for Keystrokes, there are no 'waiting' days in between. The checks are in the bank on the 1st and the 15th, so Im not sure about that one!
15th and 1st
nm
Usually around the 15th
My surgeons usually give me 1/2 of my average monthly invoice, another office invites me to their potluck and small gift exchange. The doctors give out small gift cards to us. Regular employees might get larger bonuses, have never compared. I think it is nice what they do for me and I truly appreciate it and do not take for granted. Another one is a very small office and the gal and I go to lunch usually her treat between Christmas and New Years. I make them all goodies, Chex mix and cookies or warm muffins first thing in the morning and give a nice calendar personalized with my name on it. Yep I appreciate my accounts.
1st and the 15th nm

Pay periods run from the 1st through the 15th, and sm
the 16th through the end of the month. They have a LOT of different accounts, so I don't think there is any way to comment on the ESLs. Like anywhere, it will vary from hospital to hospital. And yes, line count is attainable with FT work. Hope this helps. I'm happy there!
No it isn't. Pay is the 1st and 15th for employees and sm
2nd and 16th for ICs. It is for the previous two-week period.
For example, the period that just ended on 4/15 will be paid on 5/1. It is two weeks, not six.
I think people should have to be giving facts on these boards, not rumors. Call the companies directly. I am sure they all have similar pay structures; the last two companies I worked for were just like this and the hospital I worked at prior to them was as well.
Question regarding 1st and 15th pay -
This has nothing to do with Keystrokes, I work for another company. Pay is suppose to be on the 1st and 15th of each month. I get direct deposit and my account is not credited until around the 6th and 19th. When management was confronted, I was told this is standard.
On the 1st and 15th of each month
They have direct deposit and always pay on time.
Yup, twice monthly on the 1st and 15th.
NM
1st through the 15th, 16th through the end of the month. nm
Payday supposed to be 1st and 15th.sm
Received it 10 to 15 days after that date. I do not think we are talking about same company. I worked for BTS, not Sten-Tel.
PS This was Saturday the 15th, payday
NM
Not sure if it is still true, but they used to pay once a month, on the 15th, sm
and no direct deposit. I almost took a position with them, but that kind of backed me off. Good luck!
The pay periods end on the 15th and the last of the month. sm
As the other poster said, generally we are paid witihin a week after that. I think the latest I have received my pay was on the 10th. It is true that it is a bit odd not having a set pay date, but at least I can sure I will be paid. I read horror stories on here of companies giving bad checks or not paying at all, and it makes me cringe. I am my sole support, so if I do not get paid, my world turns upside down in a hurry.
If you are considering working for them, I wouldn't let that back me off if I was you. They say the techs are working to fix it so that the line count doesn't have to be done manually, so perhaps in the future, it will be better.
Pay period is 1st and 15th of every month
I submitted my timesheet on 08/31 after working 2 weeks to be paid on the 1st. They have direct deposit and the check is not in my account.
Usually pay period ends on the 15th and last
day of month. Then you get paid somewhere around the 22nd for pay period ending on 15th and get paid around the 6th for pay period ending on the last day of the month. If you work as an IC you may could expect pay one day after submitting an invoice, but if you work for a company it takes time to process payroll and then if DD it has to be submitted and it takes more than 1 day for that.
When I worked for KS took me almost a month to get my first check.
Paydays are on the 1st and the 15th, unless it is a weekend, then sm
it is the following Monday. Welcome to Keystrokes -- hope you love it as much as I do.
My co also pays 1st and 15th or is supposed to but nothing about 4th and 20th so must sm
not be the same company. So there are more than one out there who should not be in business obviously!
Direct deposit on the 1st and 15th of the month. nm
They do direct deposit on 15th and 1st of each month.
nm
pay 7 days following payperiod end: 15th/30 or 31st

I know that payday is on the 15th, but since the 16th is President's Day, sm
do you think we will be paid on Friday like we were last payday? This is only my 2nd payday, so I was just curious. If I have to wait until the 17th, then so be it. I don't want to be lectured by those I have seen about people expecting to be pair early. As I said, it happened before, and I just wondered. Since it is getting late and I have not yet received an email with my paycheck stub, it is looking like probably not.
Thanks!
Pay period ends on 15th, checks on the 20th. This
is pretty standard industry-wide.
Paydays are the 1st and the 15th. If the payday falls on a weekend sm
the official rule is that we get paid the following Monday. However, the last 2 times it fell on a weekend and it was a Saturday, we were paid the Friday before (yea!!). There is a listing of all of the official pay dates for 2009. You should ask S for it.
They are clear that they post the checks for the 1st and 15th and the banks determine when they are
I do know one thing though from talking to someone about increasing my 401k deduction, that they did not realize that Monday was a holiday or they would have pushed them through for today like they did for New Year's Day's check. That person also told me that starting next month, if it falls on Saturday, it will pay on Friday, if it falls on Sunday, it pays on Monday. I joked that I knew she did not have kids or she would know that it's a school holiday and I was right! Those of us with kids know more of the holidays because we have to keep track of days off.
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
nm
Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
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!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
m
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.
x
I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
nm
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
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.
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.
Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes. When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces. I checked it with more than one program. I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed. It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed. My checks do not include spaces either. No one at the company knows what is up. I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces. So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included? You might be in for a surprise. Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC. Maybe time to do something else. Thanks for listening.
You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
I don't like that at all.
Getting paid
You're absolutely right. Since it is part of our jobs, that means we should be paid for it. I'm in total agreement, we are ending up providing a lot of "freebies" MTSOs need to be aware that transcription involves more than just typing lines; there is "research", and the research part, which is actually bigger than the typing part, is not being compensated AT ALL. And GOOD MTSOs and GOOD MTs recognize that. BAD MTSOs and MTs that are truly "lucky" to be employed don't get it. Frustrating, isn't it?
it did say that we get paid if
DEP goes down (at a reduced rate of course to be found on Qnet or some such place). But no mention of what happens when we RUN OUT OF WORK which will be a daily occurrence when everyone starts sitting 39 hours or 24 hours and holidays. You could at least count on work the week after a holiday, not so anymore I guess.
you get paid for
stuff going wrong with DEP platform and you have to go on Qnet to find out the specifics. This packet doesn't address running out of work, if I am wrong someone please come on to correct me.
Not being paid
Wow!!! I was not paid my last paycheck too! I was assured that this NEVER happens and they were very sorry, etc. When I asked where my paycheck was - their response was what pay are you expecting? I did get may pay, and since then I have not had a problem... but now reading what you said about MTs not getting paid on other boards that makes me very nervous - family to feed, mortgage to pay, on and on and on.
Do you mean not paid at all?

Getting paid
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and very happy I heard about you. I work for a company who has a big problem paying on time as well as the correct amt. The initials are BT (maybe the same B listed in a previous posting). They advertised for a $1500 sign on bonus, but I cannot get anyone to return my Emails or phone calls regarding this. They also advertise 24/7 Tech and management support, that's a joke. The manager has never even been an MT. If you want to discuss things with this manager, they blow you off. But the company advertises that they care about their MTs. Obviously, I'm looking elswhere, but cannot believe this continues to go on with these companies and nothing is done. When I find something else, I will write to MT Daily and tell them what happened. They are a reputable website and I do not think they would appreciate all the false advertising this company is doing. Any suggestions and/or advice is welcome.
Really? They paid me 9 cpl (sm)
this past September, but it was still impossible to make any money given the horrendously bad platform, IMO.
They paid 9 cpl (sm)
to my friend, but it was a horrible place to work: NO communication whatsoever (she was without work for 1-1/2 weeks, unable to contact anybody via email or phone), had to work on clunky DOS program via the hospital with laggy web server, so unable to do more than 100 lph, and they paid with paper checks, often late. Couldn't understand how she could be considered an IC with the company calling all the shots like that (ICs use their equipment, programs, not the hospital's), so I told her to file the forms with the IRS and Dept of Labor to get the situation reviewed; don't know if she ever did.
I get paid...
3200/mo (hourly/incentive) as a remote hospital employee on 1 job. Approximately 2800/mo (production) on another job.
Dang, doesn't look like any of us sleep.
