Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Paid twice a month, with invoices submitted on the 16th and the 1st. sm

Until now, there was no set pay date, but an email today stated that the funds wold be released within 5 business days, and they are working on having it done within 3 days.


Regardless, it is still quicker than any place else I have been paid.  At another place, the pay period ends the same, but I am not paid until the 8th and the 23rd, and then it is by check, not direct deposit (Cardioscribes pays via direct deposit.)


At my full time job, the pay period ends on Sunday at midinght, and I am not paid until a week later on Monday.


So, even though it is a bit different not having a specific date to call payday, I still am paid quickly and have no issues with it, but then again, I only work part-time.  The people there are great, and it is cardiology clinic work, so it is a nice change of pace for me compared to acute care.  


Hope this helps.

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.


1st through the 15th, 16th through the end of the month. nm
 
Employee dates did not change; ICs are paid on 2nd and 16th now because
they are not supposed to be paid the same as employees. Were you an IC?
IC's are paid twice a month, sm
but you are paid the 15th for the prior month's work. Employee status is different and have a different pay schedule.

I know, I worked there. The first month is difficult, but after that the checks flow routinely. You do get used to it though.
Getting paid once a month???!!! Not for me. nm
s
Only paid once a month
Is it normal for a service to only pay once a month? Also, to take lines away from line count for errors and have to give a 30-day notice? I am thinking of accepting a job that does this, but am feeling a bit uneasy as they only pay 3.5 for VR, which is 80% of the job. Thanks for any input.
Only paid once a month
What worries me is who is going to say what an error is? I've worked with QA people before and was totally frustrated with inconsistent feedback.
I am paid once a month.
But I am also paid 12 cpl so the check is worth the wait. The reason I would not take this position is the 3.5 cpl. Even with VR, you are going to have a hard time earning a decent wage, especially if they deduct from that for errors.
Only paid once a month
Thanks you guys for all your posts. I am not taking the job and am back to square one with looking for a new one.

Is there such a thing as good pay and treatment for good work in MT anymore?

I have been looking now for over 6 months. Seems like every time I find what seems to be a good job, all of a sudden the small print kills it. I sure am glad I can come here to find out about them first or would have been burned long ago. The place I work at now just put in VR and will have EHR soon. Makes me nervous even though they are assuring us we will not lose our jobs. What do you think?
I only get paid twice a month
what plan are you on to get paid every other week?
And only paid once a month...

Yet another company I'm asking to go fly a kite! 


No, you dont get paid once a month. - sm
You get paid twice a month, but rather than invoicing on the first and getting paid on the 15th, every basicall 14 days, you will wait 28 days.  So you will wait an exgtra cople of weeks for the first check, but after that you do get paid twice a month. 
Bimonthly pay....as in you get paid only every other month???????
I could never manage with only getting paid every other month. That's a long stretch between paydays!!!
About 1-1/2 years ago, I paid almost $600/month for COBRA. sm

That was for medical, dental, vision, one person.  Hope this helps.  It is tremendously expensive, but it does get you by until you get something else.



Good luck! 


Waiting for that first check is normal. Getting paid once a month is not.
s
Every company I have worked for (5 total) has paid twice a month. sm
Every two weeks would be too hard to manage. I get paid on the 10th and 25th, so I pay all my bills on the 12th and 27th, which works out perfectly for me.
Invoices on time here.
I think problem here is some companies are functioning without cash flow, which is scary. Making MTs wait until their accounts pay them. I only had a small company, but any sub who did work for me turned in an invoice for Monday and I paid them by Friday. You cannot run a company without some sort of funds budgeted for payroll.
Save invoices for taxes?

I have a question I hope some of you experienced MTs can help me with.  I have been working from home and converted a bedroom in my home as a home office after my children left and have been saving monthly utility  statements and expenses to itemize and deduct what percentage my accountant tells me I can at the end of the year.  My question is this:  Do I really need to keep all those monthly statements (lights, water, sewer, etc.) indefinately?  They are really piling up.  I was wondering what others in the same position do.  Thanks in advance for your advice.


God Bless.


This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm

I'm lucky...mine are all due on the 1st and 16th..
and I keep all of the samples, invoices, work done, etc., in very separated files.  Actually, a couple of times I have sent a file to the wrong one, but luckily they use different encryption programs.
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! 


Weekly? Services are lucky if they get paid twice a month. Generally, services bill out to their

I actually submitted my resume - sm
And heard back within 10 minutes via telephone. With 1 little one not in school yet, flexibility is the most important thing to me right now. I think they sound great!
I was contacted the day after I submitted...sm
my resume by one recruiter with a couple of questions about my experience with ESLs and operative reports, then received another e-mail from a different recruiter the following day to schedule the formal interview.
I submitted mine
on 9/30 and haven't heard back yet.
Nevermind...already submitted. nm

OMG! Did you see that pic she submitted that time to the newsletter


of all shapes,sizes . . . .


classy


email again just stating you submitted
your resume about 10 days ago and have not heard anything as of yet for testing. They will get back to you very shortly then.
Never heard of it, but submitted a resume.

How long from the time you submitted
your resume until they called you?
I just submitted an application to them. Can you give details? nm
nm
I submitted my resume thinking they represented
companies who didn't want to post on the boards and that I could get a better line rate.   They represented one company to me that advertises here all the time.  I had already been offered a position with this company and turned it down, which I told TM about and they said well they sometimes can get a better rate, but they didn't.  Their testing was a joke.  I didn't test with owner, but with an airhead.  After turning down the offer a second time I never heard from them.  Going through TM just requires an additional interview and an additional test, as you still have to interview/test with the company.   I submitted my resume and within 2 days had interviewed and been contacted by the company they were recruiting for. 
Has anyone heard from this company that submitted a resume?
nm
Actually test was required when I submitted my resume sm
so maybe they were inundated and their system broke down or something and you were not required to test?
Moderator, respectfully submitted, I disagree with you
I am not trying to be this way but I know for a fact I asked before about my other company and it was answered. Since when asking who does so and so work become a privacy issue? If this is the case, every single person that talks about an X, Y or Z business should not be allowed then. Some of the companies are talked about really bad and I do not see their posts coming off or being censored as mine earlier- I did not talk bad language, only asking a question that should have been allowed to stay and not have parts taken out. This is just wrong. I really need no followup on this.
Submitted resume 9/28 late at night. Received email today. nm

I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.

The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.


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.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
nm
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. 
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies?    
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. 
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.
