Yes I have been paid. Payment has definitely not been a problem. I received payment on the 19th. nm

Tying payment to their payment is fine
if they tell you that up front. Once bitten, twice shy.
Thank you, Hayseed nm

Thank you, Hayseed!

Thank you for being understanding and not bashing me.  I realize that nothing is all bad or all good, and each of us has our own experience with a given company.  You may love the same ones that I hate and vice versa.  It's all part of the human experience. 


Hayseed
What was the name of your earphones you used, thought I bookmarked them, but can't find it now, thanks
Hayseed...
Do you still work for Deventure?
hayseed- you oughta

have a doctor check out that thing growing on your neck. 


 


 


Hayseed is right on with Meditech
When it dumps you lose reports.  Make sure to go out and save the long ones every so many paragraphs or else you may not be able to recover.  Recover is a feature but it is not something all hospitals pay for.  Upgrades help but not always.  Meditech spellcheck is not a medical spell check.  You're best bet if typing on Meditech is to go hourly.  Line count is not really an option.  Plus there is a card you can put over your F-keys along the top of your keyboard.  I learned this on-site.  I was trying to train someone for back-up and they didn't have the card for their F-keys and it was hard to train that way as well.  The card helps with the functionality of the F-keys. UGGGH, I'm getting chills thinking about those days of Meditech...    
Hayseed, question for you sm
Your comment about the insurance caught my eye. Is it affordable for 2, or do you just insure yourself? Thanks!
To Hayseed - does Deventure have any
TIA
question for you Hayseed,
Did you find it hard to get used to the etymotic er6 style going so far into your ear? I looked seriously at them but didn't think i'd like that part...
HAYSEED, again me, about Tracphone

I have never had a cell phone before.  What about getting a phone number when you receive it and how hard is it to set up?  I hate spending even 39.00 and not be able to set it up.  Thanks in advance.


Hayseed: A bumpkin, a yokel
I'm simple like that  
Hayseed, it won't be long until you feel sm
relieved to be transcribing verbatim. AAMT approves light editing, but an MT must KNOW how to do that. The newer MTs are not experts in grammar like we were required to be BEFORE becoming an MT. Mention the parts of speech to new MTs and you get a blank look in response. Talk about diagramming a sentence, and you might as well be talking nuclear science. Like you said, the boss is the one who signs the check. Our job now is to transcribe what they say, and it's up to the dictator to make him/herself clear.

We're no longer being paid enough to assume responsibility of transcription AND editing.

Good post, Hayseed!
I considered them at one point as well b/c of Hayseed...
Even have a folder on my email with our communication, but I respect our Red Gate Farm girl and they just dropped down very far on my list. Shame on THEM...
Hayseed - Whereyabeen? We were missing you.

Hayseed - Did you finally leave the big D?

Agree with Hayseed. How ridiculous is that. Someone comes on here asking questions or help and they
are criticized in a very childish way. If you do not feel you can offer an honest opinion or intend on helping anyone at all, then you should probably not respond at all.

They still have not paid me although Sonja Sacoleman made a promise on contacting me for payment but up to now... still nothing!
Alliance Payment Anyone??
Anyone receive payment recently from Alliance?  Waiting for over a month.  Told they pay weekly when hired.  TIA
eScription Payment
Yes, when you become accustomed to editing, you can generally edit at a rate of 400 to 700 lines per hour. It usually takes about a month or two to get used to the editing process. It is important that you learn the eScription shortcuts in the beginning, so that you don't get bad habits. In particular, ALT-K is very important to learn.


Ascend Payment
I am working for Ascend now for three uears. They have a policy of each 15 day pay period paid 15 days after the period is closed. If the disbursement date is on week end it will get delayed. I never had an issue and I average about $0.12 per line.

There are folks who do not complete their paperwork or do not submit their production data on time do get their pay delayed.

Ascend also gave me a loan last year and subtracted agreed upon installment from my earned wages.

I like working for them. Plenty of work, good pay.
Yes, I received my payment
Yes, I have received my payment as promised. 
Never payment issues
with TransTech...never.
Payment at DeVenture
I have been working for them for over a year and have never had a late payment.
Demand for payment
Send her a demand for payment letter with 10 days to pay you. Send it certified with return receipt. State that further action will be taken if payment is not received by you in 10 days, and add that interest will begin to accrue on the balance. In the meantime, see if you can find other MTs who are owed money by this same person. If it's only you, they know you won't take the trouble to travel to their state to file in small claims court. If you have several people, you can file a class action suit in federal court. That's what worked for me a few years ago with a company in California.
No payment from MTSO

I was hired my a MTSO without asking for my social security number or driver's license.  I did not sign an IC agreement or HIPPA paperwork.  She only verbally told me what I was and verbally did not want any contracts signed. I was told I was a subcontractor, but I refuse to work anymore for her.  She is now telling me she cannot cut me a check without having my SS#.  I am telling her cut my check and then we can make arrangements for her to pick up her computer.  Who is right?  I have no gurantee that she is going to pay me and why ask for my SS number now?


There were payment issues with them in the past. Don't know about now. nm

But weren't there payment issues??

WRONG! Their payment policy is (sm)
Pay periods run from 1-15th, and 16-30 or 31st of each month. Payment is twice monthly. PLEASE NOTE: For example; If you begin your employment with them today, July 20, you would work from July 20 to 31st (that's 12 days). You THEN add the 30 days, meaning you will be paid after having worked 41 days. If you're going to make a post regarding a subject matter as paramount such as this, make ***** sure it is accurate. I am reporting your post under the guidelines of being defamatory.

I would send a demand for payment
that you have that as proof.  Give them x amount of days to pay up or you will take further legal action.  Also make note in the letter of the disconnected telephone number.  Then you'd need to file a complaint for the money due. 
Payment of taxes question
You don't have to wait and pay your estimated taxes quarterly? I thought it had to be done that way. Please let me know. Thanks.
Landmark had some payment issues last year. nm

Isnt this the company with intermittent payment
x
Rather than worrying about notice here, if my house payment
were in jeopardy, I'd hightail it to another position ASAP. Then, I would not put this company on my resume, and if you were there for a short time, just say you took time off for a brief period to research jobs. To me, my bread and butter need not be played with. And the creditors think that even more. Good luck to you, but whatever you do, remember it is not you, it is there are more cheesy MTSOs in this business than not.
Should you keep working as an IC when you haven't received payment from last month?
I am working as an IC and still have not received payment from last month.  I also had to pay $75 deposit for their software.  My MTSO recieved my invoice from last month and nothing.  They just keep sending me work and I am still being nice.  My sister said no money, no work and do not do the work until I get my check.  Is she right?  My MTSO has recieved my invoice and let me know they have it.  Any suggestions?
Comments from last year said they were very unorganized and had payment issues. nm
