Issue resolved here, too!!

Issue resolved here, too as of 2:30 p.m.  I really never had any doubts to begin with as pay has never been late. 


They are the most professional group of people I have ever worked with in 20+ years. 


It really irritates me that people have to come to a public forum and tell ALL to people who really have nothing to do with the issue.  If you have issues, go to management.  Maybe it's the people who have to run their mouths (fingers) to every MT in the country that haven't gotten their checks yet. 


Boy, things sure do come back to bite sometimes, don't they?


Let us know when the line counting issue is resolved...sm
as in being able to view line counts live as you type, and then I would like to apply to the company.  Seriously, I think it sounds like a great place to work, but no one should ever work for a company where you cannot view your production in live time.  But, if they get that all straightened around, I will be sending in my resume.  Keep us updated.  TIA
Has TransTech's line counting issue been resolved yet?
But I remember this was a big issue a while back.  Any info appreciated. 
Major attitude issue at office payroll division...nm

I apologize ... that post has apparently

been deleted.  After posting above I went back to look at the post that I referred you to and I cannot find it.  It was posted either last night or this morning and there were several discussions concerning this. 


Apparently you missed the prior post.
AcuQuist based it's pay cut on an attempt to bring us in line with an average industry wage, part of their new mediocrity- not just for cheap wine policy. Therefore, being better, faster and more accurate, is not a desirable quality, and therefore we are being penalized for it.
Excellent post? She misunderstood the whole issue...nm
nm
Oops..sorry..Apparently, it's not Transcend's fault, it's the hospitals. Apparently, they d
that we were being overpaid so they changed the way our lines are counted. We will no longer get paid for footers, headers etc,and who knows what else they took out, although we still have to make sure they are all correct and make the appropriate changes and put in information.
The regular local post office
Do you live in a small town? (Not sure if thatshould really matter). I live in a medium size town near a semi-large city in NY. The reason I ask is if I mail something to my relatives out of state or even if they send me something in never takes more than 2 days, that's why I thought 10 days sounded excessive. Are you sure they're mailing the pay checks when they say they are?
The post was made on a Sunday night -- no one in the office really to ask then. sm
And it seemed a harmless question.   He/she wasn't really asking a policy question ... just a general question regarding when the payday is.  Most companies that I have worked for, if the payday is over a weekend, they pay on Friday.  Unfortunately, that is not the case here, but at least they are upfront about it, and it says so in the paperwork somewhere.
Kind of hard to blame the post office when
the company hasn't even mailed it!
I wouldn't waste my time calling the Post Office
Breitner is dishonest when it comes to their check mailing and check amounts. Same thing happened to me when I worked there and I went through the steps tracking it down.  They ended up cutting me another check (weeks later) - ITS ALL A STALL TACTIC.  Find employment elsewhere.  This will continue to happen until you leave the company.  Good Luck.
Today is Columbus day, and state offices and post office
is closed. Perhaps some docs took a long weekend. Maybe that is why on this particular Monday the work is trickling in. I am just getting some work now. So maybe it will come in later. Just an idea, about it being a holiday.
patients care....tell post office, tellers, cashier, neighbor,
nm
It has been resolved for me
as of Monday at 3:30 PM Pacific Time.  The company, in my opinion, handled this situation in a very professional, honest, forthcoming, and timely manner. 
hopefully you will get this resolved
As tired as you believe you are with your involvement with LM, there are readers (like me) who are tired of reading about it. Like someone said a couple of months ago, put on some big girl panties and deal with it! Some things in life are worth fighting over. I just would not include a foot pedal and fob return in that category.
All pay issues have been resolved at TTS

and have never had a single problem.  My first paycheck even got direct deposited.  They are wonderful to work for and have a ton of work!  I say go for it!!


Hopefully it will all be resolved tomorrow and
it won't happen again.  Something still doesn't seem right though. 
Problem resolved
Just wanted everyone to know that as of today, things are being taken care of. I will admit I was worried when this happened, as I have been burned before, but this company was definitely professional in the matter, and I will continue to be a loyal employee as long as they are happy with me.
Similar situation resolved
I had a problem last paycheck (not with insurance), called payroll right away and problem was resolved immediately. Call or e-mail first thing on Monday, don't think there is anyone there on weekends.
It still hasn't been resolved for everyone. I'm still in limbo. I'm going

to give it until tomorrow. 


I do at webmedx now that the platform slowness issues are resolved. nm
.
Ascend is advertising pay at 11 cpl. Didnt they have problems paying or is that resolved.
Inquiring minds need to know.
The main office was in Bolingbrook but they built an office in Yorkville last fall. SM
I think that the owners live in Yorkville, so it was built close to their house. Nice office, just pretty far out.
Just curious, is the MQ Nashville office the old Lanier office? nm
nm
I don't work in the office and never claimed to. I am just saying that since the new office open
October with everyone of the admin staff in one place, these problems do not occur any more.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other  offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
Can't get paid in the office if you don't work in the office.
JLG has MT's working at home, not in the office, not to mention working out of state.  The mail is the only way to get paid since they have temporarily suspended direct deposit.  The only ones getting paid on time are the ones that do work in the office, like the management and people answering the phone. 
Closed FW office, Indianapolis office too. nm
xx
Apparently not
I asked this same question a short time ago and no one answered. I switched from a major player to a smaller comany for that very reason, now THEY are switching to a platform. The platforms seem to provide the benefit to the MTSO, not to the transcriptionist, in my experience. Line counts drop, no more pay for headers/footers, can't use your own AutoText. It's not that I'm an old dog unwilling to change with the times, I just don't appreciate being taken advantage of.
Uh, apparently someone else did it for me. nm

Apparently you did, and you need one!
The last company I worked for their IT department came in on my computer and changed the IP configuration on my router so bad I had to get a new one. They shadowed in so there was nothing I could do while they were doing it. Not to mention not a single one of them could speak English and only communicated through IM - I left. To say that a high turnover rate means bad MTs is ridiculous. There are a lot of things we discover once working for a company and some of us do not feel the need to accept those things so leave.
Apparently, since many of us

work at home and cannot be present in the office for a big warm and fuzzy ''group hug''  we feel entitled to other ''stuff'' in compensation? 


Group e-mails do very little for me, by way of validation.  What does mean something to me is a personal e-mail if/when I do something meritorious, above and beyond, to deserve it.  If I really push beyond my contractual obligation to help clear a backlog, work on my days off at the boss's request, do a spectacular job on a very difficult dictation and get an ''attagirl'' from QA - on those occasions, I appreciate being commended or thanked.  But a generic e-mail thanking me for not calling in sick all the time, being dependable, working the days I have agreed to work, being as accurate as I am expected to be really means nothing to me.  This just reminds me of the ''every kid gets a trophy'' theory we operate under nowadays.  If you want a reward, do something extra to deserve it!


Well, apparently
The 5 or so supposedly separate posters in this thread who weren't paid are saying they believe they were hired to just do a frenzied clean-up over an overflow accoount and then not paid. I think that's why a couple of them have pointed out overflow work.

I think...?

I'm kind of lost in this thread and trying to keep it clear in my muddled brain while I read the posts, lol!
Apparently! nm

Apparently....
you are too immature to understand the concept or have never wanted for anything. Not everyone is in your shoes. Some MTs wear Guccis, others hand-me downs. Same job should equate to equal pay for all MTs who do the same type of work. It doesn't always. Without complaints, you don't get anywhere. You have no need to complain, apparently. Everyone has different needs. An MT who is single with very few bills may make a wonderful living at $16 an hour. A single parent MT, trying to support 3 or 4 kids at .07 cpl does not find it so easy. Gag and then puke!
You bet it does. Apparently, you have been out of the loop sm
for a long time. Go work in a hospital office and see the brown nosers there. How about an insurance company? All sorts there. Better yet, go to a bank. How about some of the major corporate offices? They kiss butt all the time and even do "other things" to get to the top. Get real and get used to it. This is life. I like to come to this board and see your "holier than thou" and "poor me" attitudes and make total idiots of yourselves. It makes for great entertainment. I definitely would NOT want to work alongside the likes of you. No wonder your job didn't work out. Nobody likes catty transcriptionists. Pull in your claws.
Well apparently you don't have much work lately
LOL
I just went there and apparently all the posts have
//
well, apparently I have missed that.
Not a problem, though. Have a great day
We apparently don't have the same coverage
I have been charged the deductible for office visits, which was a surprise to me when it happened. Also, many medications are $50 per co-payment.

If you are healthy and don't need it, I guess it's good insurance. If you use it, you pay a LOT out of pocket and now it will be worse.
Apparently I got lucky....
I have great communication from my TM and have had no problems whatsoever. I hope you get your schedule changed to help you out and early congrats on the baby!
Apparently they did not have any difficulty--sm
getting responses, which the last mentioned was 135. Perhaps you should have applied, just to find out who they are, since you cannot seem to sit still in your undies just wondering about it, or maybe you DID apply and didn't get chosen....sour grapes. sheesh. real mature.
apparently you do not have the same supervisor I did!
Exact opposite. Pay was always on time, though.
Apparently you aren't going to let this go!
Tricky: I asked a while back how far off the line counts are in your mind - 2% 1% 10%?

If its a small discrepancy you might consider dropping it, if its a lot you could find a different job if management can't explain it to your satisfaction.

That said, I'm totally in your corner if there is serious discrepancy here, but so far you have not elaborated how much you think the counts are off.

That's how stupid it is, but apparently it has been done. sm
So many people think that MT is easy and they can pick it up fast, but getting in the door is the tough part.

Years ago someone on one of these boards confessed to doing such a thing. I've heard other similar stories as well.

It IS sad. It brings us all down.



No your hand is up, because apparently
you think it's normal for somebody not to be able to spell the name of the company they work for. Sorry, my hand is down because I agree that's a little weird. Sorry if that offends, people, I just think it's strange.


So, apparently some QT-ers went to Keystrokes. Did you SM

spend the last few months somewhere else and then change to KS, or have you been there all along?  I myself was at WMX for a while and have recently switched to another company but not KS. 


I am STILL not really adjusted, and I am just wondering how everyone is doing.  It's been tough, hasn't it? 


Someone apparently doesn't have a job.

Apparently the only read the no more
x
TO FATCAT: Apparently they are sm
not very big. Run by a husband and wife team. No HR department. Only person to talk to is the one MT who was suppose to be training me. We have communicated via e-mail. The e-mails have now stopped. I figure they either will let it go or they will send me a call tag and they will get their pedal back. I am not pursuing it anymore. Thanks for the good luck wishes.
