Klaar....habitually late and a multitude of bounced checks..

The owner has no sense about this at all.  He will wait until you call to say your check is late and then say he will over-night it...right.  And there is NOTHING like paying your bills with your paycheck only to find out 10 days later that the paycheck bounced. 

Burn me once....shame on you

Burn me twice ... shame on me...I moved on.  Some people are still struggling.  Also, just if anyone is interested.  It is actually illegal to bounce checks and you can hire a constable (around $75 I think) in the town/area of the office to arrest the person writting the bad check.  The person will be taken to jail and will have to post bond to be released. I have considered doing this but I am from a different state and haven't looked into the details of doing it out of state.

Please, do not let those untrue postings affect your decision to work for The MT Group.

This is Melanie (the one who posted the job for The MT Group).  The MT Group was started in 1996, and we have NEVER EVER EVER EVER bounced someone's check nor shorted the check.  We ask all of our ICs to turn in their line counts at the end of every pay period.  If they do not match what we have, I contact the IC so that we can compare.  Very rarely do I need to go that far.  When I put in our job post that we are honest and fair, I was being honest.  I was very discouraged to read that posting. 

As far as pickiness about spaces.  It is common knowledge that there should be two spaces after a period, and yes, we do expect that.  I can't help but think that the person who posted that reply just had a big problem with using two spaces.

And moodiness??  Who was moody?  The transcriptionist?

don't kid yourself

I was contacted by a company named Klaar. What's the low-down on them. They say they pay .08 a line. Sounds too easy to me. They haven't asked me to pay for their software yet. I will turn down the job if they do.

I would appreciate any feedback on them.

Please do NOT go to work for this company.  Your paychecks will be late, if you get one at all.  I am making a formal complaint to Dept. of Labor tomorrow (Tues.)against this company.  I don't know how they stay in business honestly.  I will let the Labor law retrieve my paychecks for me.  This company is not on the up and up or are in dire financial shape and stability.

Let me tell what this ONE person achieved on her own and then you can imagine what many of us can do if we stand together.

Two years ago, I was working as an MT for a local hospital.  One day, we were told that our overflow was going to be outsourced to one of the nationals, just the discharge summaries and not even all of those.  Two months after they told us that lie, they called is in one by one and fired us because they were outsourcing the entire dept because it was cost effective.  The service they were using was a very large national who I happened to know had a reputation of offshoring.  And I just knew because our little hospital had easy as pie dictators with maybe 4 out of a staff of 200 that were ESL, our work would most definitely be one of the accounts offshored.

I was angry!  Oh, they offered us jobs at the service and told us we would definitely be working on our hospital, but I'm no fool and I knew it would be a matter of time before we were forced to take secondary accounts which would eventually become our primary accounts and our little hospital would just disappear from our queues. 

I refused the job with the service on moral grounds.  I refused to work for a company that offshored.  And then I decided to channel my anger and outrage into something proactive.  I wrote letters to every newspaper in my area.  Every small farming community newspaper this hospital served, and the big city newspaper in the big city close by.  I never dreamed that anyone would pay attention at one woman's rantings.  But a funny thing happened.  My letter was printed in more than one of the papers I sent it to, and reporter from one of the larger newspapers called me and asked if I would do an interview.  I said absolutely.

Long story short, they did the interview and then interviewed the administrator of the hospital.  They put him in the hot seat and asked him about offshoring health information to India.  He had no definitive answers to give except that he would have to look at the contract and make sure that it was stipulated that his hospital's work was not sent over seas.

It was a small triumph, but I took some satisfaction in it.  Two weeks after that and just when I thought all the hoopla had died on my little letter, another letter appeared in the newspaper -- from an HIM director at another local hospital who said as a result of reading my letter and interview, that she had received a number of calls from concerned people asking if their medical information was being sent and transcribed overseas.  She wanted to write the letter just to set the record straight that her hospital employed their own MTs and did not outsource to a service nor did they offshore any of their work to third-world countries.

And I'm still not done.  Still a few weeks later another letter in the big city paper was printed from another HIM director assuring the community that her hospital employed its own American MTs and did not outsource or offshore.

Now, everything has quieted down since then, but I managed to ruffle some feathers and make a point, and if I (one person, one middle-aged work-at-home mother of two) can cause that much ruckus -- think what a whole bunch of us can do.

I think we, as a group, need to take control of our industry and our career destiny and do something.  Maybe march on Washington DC protesting the offshoring of American jobs -- not just ours, but ALL American jobs that are being offshored.  There are more Americans out of work and losing work to third-world countries and corporate greed than just MTs!  Our government needs to hear our voices!  We need to MAKE ourselves be heard! 

Instead of sitting back and pasting little smiley faces in our posts and saying good luck with that we need to come together.  There is no room for MTs willing to accept lower wages, no room for MTs whose hearts bleed for our third-world counterparts, and no room for MTs who want to sit back and do nothing, but reap the benefits when the strong win the battle.  We've reached a critical turning point and it's time to take up the cause and change the future. 

OK, another update-- THis chick paid my friend but THE CHECK IS NO GOOD!!

She won't answer her phone.  She gives lies on IM.

So the MT has now worked an entire new pay period and likely won't get paid for that either.
