You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments

I sent you an E-mail from my other E-mail address.  You can reply to that one or to my Yahoo address.


IS THE CHECK REALLY IN THE MAIL?

I worked for a company for about a month. Upon our initial discussions it was mentioned they paid once a month. I said I could not do that because of getting burned in the past.  They said they could do twice a month so I accepted the position.  First check for the 15th was not received until I believe the 27th as they had surgery and could not tell me when their husband mailed it. Hmmmm.  The second check should have been mailed on the 1st. I was told on the 5th that it went through online banking on the 4th.  Now I'm being told that it takes 7-10 days for online banking.  I never signed any type of contract and mentioned that I would call the doctor myself and ask if he paid them for the services performed.  Now I'm getting, I'll press charges if you do that.  I'll check with my bank tomorrow and if you don't receive it by the end of the week, I'll pay you through Paypal.  The only thing with that is, you lose money.   Can you believe that!! I'm sorry, I just had to vent.  Oh yeah, I took Friday off and I was away.  I wasn't ignoring you. 


IS THE CHECK IN THE MAIL?

I am happy to say that I was paid today after mentioning I may have my fiance's law firm contact the physician and being told online banking would take 7-10 days.  I was paid immediately via Paypal and although I lost a few dollars with their fees, it's better than waiting 17+ days for a check.  My final check..I'm done.  Gant Transcriptions in Texas is the name and excuses is the game!  One for every occasion.  I just hope she pays anyone else she may owe.  It's awful what we have to go through to get a paycheck, and then made to feel like we're wrong for asking.  I guess I'm the only one who works for the money.  Sorry, but the thrill of it went out the window with the paycheck that's in the mail..lol..


if they mail you your check sm
contact US Post Office at 1-800-275-8777 and go through the prompts - Delivery Services, Delivery Assistance, Delayed Mail, Customer Service, Document lateness. They will take down all the info (where it is being mailed from, where it is being mailed to, type of service (first class etc), and estimated value) then get back to you with what they find out within 24 business hours. I just called them about Lee Perfect being late (again) on my invoice - have been told one too many time it is because of the Chicago post office! Good luck!

Check your Bulk Mail
I was wondering why I didn't receive a reply and decided to check my bulk mail/spam - there it was.

Check lost in mail :(
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced this problem... I'm afraid my check that was mailed on June 4 has been lost in the mail :( I have a new mail carrier, and lately we have been getting a lot of mixups with our mail. I am going to go to direct deposit when I get this check. I am so worried as I am the only one working right now, and we have a family of 5 with 3 little ones and desperately need my check. This happened once before when I moved out of state and worked at MedQuist, and it was a horrible experience. They needed to wait a few weeks before issuing a new check after stopping payment on the one lost in the mail, so my check was about a month late. I am already behind on rent, so I am worried. So far I love my job, and I'm hoping the process will be a little easier with SoftScript...Has anyone ever had this happen to them?
Check your bulk mail or spam
directory.  I thought I had been overlooked too, but the response was in my junk mail.
I get mine check by mail with no problems
I work for the Q and my checks are mailed to me. They come on time every time. I have never had a late paycheck with them. I have worked for companies who consistently pay late and left because of that, a definite deal breaker for me no matter how good everything else is with the company. One day late and I quit working until check arrives, this from experience with not getting paid at all for two weeks of work at one place. My bills have to be paid on time so payday has to be dependable. I have been messed up by a bank computer glitch with direct deposit twice in the past and that is why I have gone back to having my checks mailed.
It's Monday. Everyone plays catch up on Monday. Give 'em

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. 
Check is direct deposit and we get the stub through e-mail....

Speaking of Spheris - How long does it take to get check in mail?

I am changing banks and so they are going to mail me this paycheck - I am in California so I was curious if anyone could give me an idea of how many days it would take roughly for the check to arrive.


Mucho gracias!


tuesday
I am so glad too that I don't have to deal with MQ ever again. I feel positive about the whole thing. Hours will be 3-11, hope this 57-year-old can adjust, lol.
I start the following Tuesday
I hope they did not lie!!!!
I start on Tuesday
I applied online and took the test on Tues. evening. Rhonda called me on Wed. to make an offer.  I had asked for Sun-Thurs 2nd shift 4 pm to 12 am but she said that wasn't available, so I took Tues-Sat. 2nd shift. I faxed my initial paperwork Thurs. and she called me back twice.  The 2nd time she said they had decided that they would ahead and give me the Sun-Thurs.  They are sending my footpedal, etc.  I have a 1 pm appt with the IT guy on Tues, then the trainer at 3, and then I can start typing.  The only thing is they pay bimonthly, the 15th and the last day of the month so I won't get my first check until 5/29.  Spheris paid biweekly. I'm really hoping it's a good fit; it sounds good.  Rhonda never even discussed my test score with me, just went by my experience.  I hope I don't let her down. 
Nothing in my account, so I guess it is Tuesday. :( nm


I did on Tuesday, now it's changed back. NM

Didn't think it was released yet? Tuesday? sm

I did email asking if they could have a summary rather than us trying to compare old to new and figure out the changes.  I was told the changes are too numerous to annotate. 


That scared me.  


I'm lookin forward to that teleconference Tuesday

I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)

Believe it or not, Monday it will be there!

That's okay! LOL it *is* Monday!
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I didn't have a choice in quitting my other job, work was just gone, so that's just added to the stress. I considered looking for another PT position to tide me over, but then Murphy's Law might dictate I had waaay too much to do and/or get confused with two sets of rules and platforms. I might have to, though, if I can't get work soon.

Does background check include credit check?

I startnew job Monday.
Today, I still do not have any work. My CSC center said sent a bulk email for MTs out of work to call the office and other centers will have work. WELL!!! that is enough for me and I have accepted my new job and start Monday.
Well, I am an Ex-Transcender as of Monday. sm

I was disillusioned as you.  I am an acute care MT with 20+ years of experience and it just was not for me.   Although, I have to tell you that the production management team were awesome to work with up front; however, I didn't like the behind the scenes action like changing my worktypes without telling me, as well as consistently running out of acute care work.  


For example, if you  work primarily on er reports and the discharge summaries are behind, they will just take the er dictations out of your queue and you will discharge summaries for a week straight, and they don't even bother to tell you, hey the ds are backed up and we put some in your queue.   There is nothing wrong with keeping the account in TAT, but give us, the MTs, the respect of telling us. 


Also, the ES accounts are a total rip-off.  Taking 20 and 30% off the line count is a totally stealing from us MTs.  Personally, I had a huge problem with it once I saw that it amounted to $500 out of one paycheck.   That really sucked bigtime!


Let me ask you - if you are an acute care MT and was given boring clinic work or doctor letters to do all day every day, would you be happy when you were hired for "basic 4 acute care work".


These are just a few major reasons why I am gone.


Good luck to those who have stayed and I hope you are happy.  To each his/her own!


If you started on Monday you are probably still on
full QA and that would explain the reason for low workload.  I have been with them for 7 years so I can attest to their integrity and consistency.  However, please feel free to e-mail and let me know what account you are working, as I know one account asks you to assign how many minutes you want per day and the other is an open pool, as I would prefer not to discuss specific accounts in an open forum.
My my new days is now Monday, so
I was off yesterday. It's not a bad day to have off since work is so often low on Mondays. And now my start time isn't until 11:00 on Tuesday, so hopefully it will have built up now that it's time to work.

Wow - that was weird. Let me know if you can read this note. I kept typing all the words right the first time, as if I had a stroke or something! Hope not!
Webmedx does, every other Monday, DD. sm
Never late, always accurate.
Sorry, DUH, I get it now, sorry to be so slow, it's Monday! Nm

Interview Monday sm

Would be interested in hearing what their expectations, platform, etc. are if you would be willing to share.  My biggest question, obviously, is pay as I do not want to take a cut in this..but that is something I will find out Monday.  Just curious about general info on the company.   When did you interview?  The recruiter said my e-mails were bouncing back to him undeliverable so maybe it is on their end??


 


Not yet but hopefully soon. Wonder if anyone we will hear anything before Monday when the new HR
person starts. 
Sunday and Monday

I'm not on the schedule with any of them on Sunday, Monday I only work for one of them. I took the third job because it's a specialty I like and want to do more of. I'm trying to decide which direction to go in  - certainly don't want to work this much indefinitely.


Sorry, Monday morning
I could not find any posts on this company.
March 17, then every other Monday after that
.
I would say Monday should be the telling SM
day.  If there is no pay and no indication of when you'll be paid, I'd get out of there FAST and also post the name of the company.  They've had plenty of time to correct their supposed **error*** cough...with the payroll company.
no work for a Monday--- never
happens where I work! I was wanting to have Sundays and Mondays off, but we have a lot of work leftover from the weekend!
