I didn't work on gov't account but not paid either
Five months and counting now. Lies told to me were, pay you when I get paid, pay you next week, pay you Saturday. Still no check though.
If go with them, check yourself if getting paid for

not paid and got terminated for asking for my check
i got terminated for requesting them for the work i did. i had full proof of all the work i had done including a spreadsheet for keeping track of th eline count. this is a scam and i am totally discouraged.
Thanks for your kindness. I did check, and it just says we are paid on sm
the 15th and the last of the month, and that if they fall on a Saturday or Sunday, we are paid on the following Monday.  However, the 31st was on a Sunday, and we were paid on the Friday before, plus with the following Monday being a holiday, I was just hoping … hopes and dreams, one of the few things that are still free 
Double check - are you sure they didn't say

FUNNY - BUT YOU DIDN'T CHECK

If and when you find one, be sure do double check yourself that you are being paid for what they

Sorry you didn't get your check. Guess different areas are different.

Waiting for that first check is normal. Getting paid once a month is not.

I didn't HEAR of it being over $500 each month..I see it taken out of my check every 2 weeks..(sm
$254 each pay period.  I honestly hope you're right that the final paperwork was signed last Friday because I had decided to have it discontinued after the March 15 paycheck and either look on my own or go without coverage for a while until I find a more reasonable plan.  The insurance itself is great but too high.  I can't imagine how you are paying only $184 per month and I have been paying over $500 since December 2006 for single coverage!
I think they did, but you didn't get paid for anything that autopopulated. They use ExText. nm

They paid 7 & 8 cpl before and didn't give raises. They were using

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

People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

You have to work 3 of the big 6 holidays. For those that you work, you are paid
time and a half. For those that you do not work, you can either get paid by using PTO or they are treated like normal days off (for which you are not paid). Sometimes, they will even pay double time for the big holidays if there is a lot of work on the system. I've found them to be exceedingly fair.
OSi didn't work out for me...lack of work sm
I worked there for about 3 months last year, and even though I was on 3 different accounts, I was continually running out of work.  They wanted me to flex to meet their schedule needs (working on my days off and late at night), but do to having small children, and having to have a babysitter when I am working, I need a set scheduled, and they just couldn't handle that.  I also thought they micromanaged.  I like to be left alone to do work.  I ended up slinking back to the Q after 3 months was up. 
Does that mean that you work for MDI-FL and your paid 9.5 there?? Thanks

I did some work for them and NEVER got paid
They are unreasonable, giving their editors 10+ accounts to be in charge of, and they, in turn, give the MTs the work to do.  Therer are so few MTs that they get about 400 minutes to type each day.  They dont pay but like 7 cpl if you're lucky, and they work you to death.  They sonorq (like msn messenger) you to death too, and they just plain out lie about raises, etc.  Like I said, they never paid me even.
Don't work for DIT if you want to get paid!
Two out of three paychecks have bounced so far.  It seems they write checks with no money to cover them.  I hereby take back all the nice things I had said about them being nice people to work for.  Nice people do not bounce paychecks.  Getting paid from them has been the worst experience I've ever had with any employer.  I can't believe they bounce paychecks like they do.  As of today, I'm done.  This is a warning to others, don't let my experience be yours.
paid less for p.r.n. work
I'm feeling confused about why the MT business seems to pay less per line for p.r.n. work than part-time or full-time work.  Out in the world where people do not stay at home, a premium is usually paid to temp services or to employees who agree to be available on a p.r.n. basis.  Is it just my experience with certain companies?  I would like to hear any thoughts on why this is true in this industry or if your experience has been different.  I am beginning to feel dirty for asking for p.r.n. work.
Another day of no work. They must get paid
a lot to sell the Americans short on work.
Were you also not paid for the work you did?
If I'm tracking this thread correctly, that would make you MT #4 that worked but was not paid.

This is alarming, to say the least.
paid if you work

Check the archives. Most work done in India, they
have office in India.  I have never seen anything good about them. 
Check out the job board for clinic work.

I work at Webmedx and am very happy there. Check them out! nm

Yes. Check the # of jobs...0, 4, 21, etc., the words OT are there. The work soon won't be.
This happens often. Yes, it says OT is offered on an account, but there may be 0 jobs available. They absolutely do not owe us any OT at all ever, but it would be nice to get 40 hours in during your posted availability and not have to constantly flex to do so. People have other obligations in life besides Webmedx.
Didn't work for me
Not a great experience for me. I felt they did not have a clue as to what an MT was/did, espected way too much, way too soon. Training period of a few hours, then expected to make line count within 1 to 2 weeks on brand new account that no one had done yet - actually expecting a brand new employee to implement the account (huge) and make 1200 lines a day at the same time! I had 25 years' experience at the time and lasted there a very short time as I am older but wiser now!
Didn't work well enough for me.

When pressing the foot pedal, sometimes it would do nothing or would hesitate before hearing any dictation.  I found this unacceptable and a pain in the butt.  I don't think Vonage is allowing MTs anymore.  At least, that's what I last heard. 


didn't work for me
disorganized, wouldn't know QA if it bit 'em, lots of files to download and cross reference, have to wait 6-8 weeks for first check, lots of phone calls (interruptions)....
Job didn't work out

Personally, I think it is the company that should feel bad.  What did you do to make you feel bad when the company turns out not to be the same as they seemed to be in the sales pitch?  If you showed up on the first day of this job and couldn't transcribe, do you think they would hesitate to let you go? 


What we need in our industry is more courageous folks who will stand up for themselves and not take any @#$%#@#$ from these companies that basically lie to get you to work for them.  They are taking advantage of us and it is only because we are letting them get away with it.  I know, cause I've been there.  I stuck it out with one awful company for 6 months.  After that, there have been some that I've rejected before we got past the contract.  There were at least 3 that I quit after less than a week.  Same story.  The job was totally different than it was supposed to be, according to the description of the recruiter. 


Don't sweat it.  Just tell them goodbye, it didn't work out.


 


Didn't work for me...
I tried working for them, but they told me I could not work a flexible schedule, no matter that I would get my required amount of hours...when I say flexible I mean I need to work off and on with no set scheduled times to work. They were always calling me wondering why I wasn't working...this was the pits.
I tried this, but it didn't work. Thanks. nm

LOL, you must be one who didn't do their work

As stated many times, if you work your schedule, meet your line counts and produce quality documents, you will do just fine.


If you cannot produce quality documents, if you do not want to work the schedule you set and if you cannot produce the minimum line count which you were aware of when you were hired, (1200 lines), then don't come to Axolotl.


Axolotl is not the place for MTs who do their own thing. If you are disciplined, want to make good money and have good benefits, then it might be the place for you.


did that, didn't work either

you WISH you didn't have to work sm
from home---have kids???? How about be thankful you CAN work from home if you need to work from home.

If you are only doing this because you have kids you are probably in the wrong profession. you are saying your employer has serious mental problems.......you are working and you get a check correct? You work from home and don't have to face this person correct?

Sounds to me like he isn't the only one who has some problems!
it's been done - didn't work out well. n/m

There is no way I would work for anyone who did not pay me. If I get paid every 2 weeks, then..
the first time my check is more than a couple days late, they can forget it. You can bet they are getting paid by their clients. Who do they think does the work. The MTs should be paid above all else. I would give them a date that they had to "overnight" by check by or I'd file a company with a labor board, BBB, anyone who will listen. These companies get away with it because no one stands up for themselves. I do the work that is asked of me and I expect to be paid one time. No one should except any less than that. Good luck to you and nail them right where they stand on this one!!
I can work all I want, but don't get paid overtime. I don't
have to clock in so I don't know how they would know how many hours I worked anyway. 
I work them now..always been paid on time
and the changes that might be coming
You do not get paid for holidays unless you work them. sm
You do have to work 3 of the 6 recognized holidays. One of those has to be either Christmas or Thanksgiving. If you work Christmas one year, the next you have to work Thanksgiving. If you do not work on the holiday, you have to use PTO if you want to be paid.
Getting paid by the minute.....how does that work??

Since I can't imagine getting paid by the minute, how does that work and what is considered a good rate??  Thanks!!!


I don't work OT and when I do, it is paid at OT rates, which is the same as sm
holiday rates or 1-1/2 times my regular rate.

You keep saying this but do not back it up. Call the office and talk to Karyn; she will look into it and make sure that it is done. They cannot pay what they do not know. What department do you work for (ortho? B4? Rad?)


Actually, no. Most people would get paid at work!

Check thru the recent posts here that have them running out of work. nm

I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either.  I can see why you would worry though.  Maybe they will do the switch eventually. 
May not be lying.. *certain* companies never bothered to check their work.

I did not continue to work for them, but have not recieved a check and it has been 2 months already.

Why do AAMT have hand on MY check? Dont work
