There is no way I would work for anyone who did not pay me. If I get paid every 2 weeks, then..

the first time my check is more than a couple days late, they can forget it. You can bet they are getting paid by their clients. Who do they think does the work. The MTs should be paid above all else. I would give them a date that they had to "overnight" by check by or I'd file a company with a labor board, BBB, anyone who will listen. These companies get away with it because no one stands up for themselves. I do the work that is asked of me and I expect to be paid one time. No one should except any less than that. Good luck to you and nail them right where they stand on this one!!

Hmmm... Work 4 months, get 4 weeks paid baby....sm
vaction - quite a sweet deal ... while the rest of us are struggling with monumentous premiums (financing a newbie's love/sex life not my idea of fair play). Many of us haven't gotten a single day of PTO, (thanks to the line requirement to meet when there is no/low work) and most of have been here much longer than 4 months.
Awesome small company! Paid on time every 2 weeks. Plenty of work!
Owner is great. I would recommend this company to anyone who wanted to be paid what they are worth and paid on time!
Do you usually get paid every 2 weeks?
If I could basically count on pay pretty much every 2 weeks, then that would be fine. They seem good, otherwise.
tell me where, i'm not paid for 4 weeks off
thanks... you sound nice, some people on this board are so defensive and grouchy.
Why do you want to get paid every week versus every 2 weeks?
Pay on time, do have direct deposit, paid every 2 weeks.nm

I think she is just saying she landed a job with them and a bennie is 2 weeks paid vacation.

I got to be paid on time every two weeks or I'm outta there! Just my advise
I've worked for Ubiqus for 2 years now and I get paid every two weeks.
I really enjoy the work because it's advisory board meetings, round table discussions, and big conferences of all fields of medicine. I started with them right after I graduated and I've never done any of the doctor dictation, I like this work better.
How many weeks is that with low/no work????? n/m
b
So who else is out of work at MDI, FOR WEEKS ON END!
Yes, I have backup accounts. Yes, they are out of work, too. So how many backups should I get and how many account specifics do I have to keep straight to make minimum wage here? I understand summer slump, but this is bad, really, really bad!!!!
I just wanna SCREAM!
No work for weeks
No work for weeks, no work to make up, have 4 accounts. Simple truth this company overhires and now I am stuck! Unfortunately, I will have to move on.....Hey, I have an idea - Why not hire some more!
I have been there for a few weeks, run out of work often. Other than that, no complaints. NM

I doubt it. As low as work has been the last 2 weeks, (sm)
several of us will probably get warnings for not making line count this pay period. What amazes me is that they've got an ad out today. Makes me wonder if things are going to get worse before they get better.
I work for FN but worked for MDI-MD for a few weeks...Go with FN! sm
I agree with the other poster. Futurenet is great! They are very respectable. A lot of working is going to SR now though. That is the only downfall I have for them. But they work with you on everything! If they offered benefits, which they don't, I don't think anyone could beat them whatsoever. Pay is ontime EVERY time! Excellent staff! I have been there for a little over 2 years and have thought about going other places ONLY for benefit purposes but I just can't! They are too good to leave! I will be with them as long as they will allow me to. Couldn't picture myself working for anyone else!
None for me either, no steady work for weeks..nm
nm
Oh I sure hope not - no work for weeks
nm
I also work both until I am sure new job will work out. Then give 2 weeks.
:+
Yes, they offer I think 4 weeks at full pay or 8 weeks at half pay. Call the office
and talk to them about it. You wont lose your job. They aren't like that.
I think ill prescribe 75 mg of Effexor.. 2 weeks off of work...for everyone!
And, possibly shed some light here. After seeing some of these posts, reading through many ads, and speaking with recruiters, and being knee deep in seeing some of the "mishandled, misappropriated, misguided, hypocritical, and profound blatant mistakes on reports, that are missed by QA, and mostly by some of these same Transcriptionist themselves, who are masticating
I have been with MQ Amherst now for 3 weeks and have continually run out of work. I know this has
been hashed out on here many times but my question is does anyone expect this problem to ever get resolved or should we simply expect to keep running out of work at Amherst forever. I know when they call me about the new pay plan and tell me it is incentive based I plan to tell them they better make sure we have work or their plan is a joke. What can I expect with this office and what can be done to correct it. I dont plan to have to work 8 accounts to get my lines in and have them QA me on accounts I have never done besides. If this problem is long standing and unlikely to be resolved it is time to either get out of that office or get out of MQ so I would like some good ideas and comments on this. We know it exists but what is the next step.
Why is OSi hiring new people when I have been out of work for 6 weeks?
I am statutory (or IC, whatever they are calling it now). I have a main account and 2 -- count them 2 -- back up accounts. I have been out/short of work for over 6 weeks.
Unless you are a full time employee, you get no benefits, no hourly, NOTHING. I am amazed that they are hiring when they have people already trained and begging for work!!!
Don't they realize that it costs a WHOLE lot more in turnover to train a new employee than to keep an already-trained one happy?
I'm looking at other nationals now. I've never been one to job hop, but I just can't take the time off any more!!!
If you read the email she sent about 2 weeks ago - more work by 01/23/06. nm

What accounts DO you work on?? None for weeks? We are overflowing sm
right now. Go look at the backlog page!
Ditto! First 2 weeks with company- no work!
Looks like I will be going to work in-house with an hourly wage. I love being home, but I can't afford to sit around and barley make a couple bucks a day. This is ridiculous! What's happening right now? Why are we all out of work. I have asked for more accounts, but low volumes across the board...
Dont work there but noticed few weeks ago they

Thanksgiving is weeks away, yet no work on TransTech this morning. sm
I have 2 accounts, with no work on either. I used to think they cared, but now I am not so sure. If there is no work now, I have to think the closer it gets to Thanksgiving, it will really be awful. 
Why is transcend advertising for help. No work is the story for 3 or 4 weeks.
In 2+ years, never been so low in work, even with secondary accounts to try to go to. And now they advertise for more help? Are we all supposed to go to part time?
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

You will be hired fast and then wait weeks or months for work...SM
You may be asked to invest in expensive equipment, likely to run out of work regularly and not have your calls returned when you try to contact them. They do pay well but the work is NOT there more than it is, so great pay doesn't mean much. They sell it to you great but they don't deliver.
I felt that exact same way and quit a job that was not work out..6 weeks and 30 applications sm
later I am a temporary employee at Walmart for 6.00/hr. Still more than I was making at my production job but how humiliating. 
Has anyone recently left Futurenet Tech due to their lack of work over the past several weeks? nm

I encountered slow to no work the weeks preceding Thanksgiving and several days after but the past
few days it has picked up. Can I ask which account/accounts your on? I think that makes a difference. Mine are part f the Escription platform. I honestly got really ticked a few weeks ago when we had no work and they were still hiring. For one, it's bad enough when we have to share some of our work with the Indians, but how fair it is to hire these poor people who think they are getting work where there is none. It makes no sense to me either. Why not provide work to your current employees than drive them away by taking on too many new people.
Concerned about the low work at WebMedx over the past few weeks. Typical for this time of year?
I've not been through a summer with them before. My main account, which always had plenty of work and occasional overtime, has been low for well over a month now. I have 2 backup accounts that are low as well. In fact, all my STM's accounts are very low volume. In all the years I've transcribed, I've never had this problem in August. It worries me more perhaps since I'm ex-MQ and consistent low work was a signal of a major downhill turn for that company. Thanks.
I gave notice and was told had to work final weeks in order to be eligible for rehire. Had no

You have to work 3 of the big 6 holidays. For those that you work, you are paid
time and a half. For those that you do not work, you can either get paid by using PTO or they are treated like normal days off (for which you are not paid). Sometimes, they will even pay double time for the big holidays if there is a lot of work on the system. I've found them to be exceedingly fair.
Does that mean that you work for MDI-FL and your paid 9.5 there?? Thanks

I did some work for them and NEVER got paid
They are unreasonable, giving their editors 10+ accounts to be in charge of, and they, in turn, give the MTs the work to do. Therer are so few MTs that they get about 400 minutes to type each day. They dont pay but like 7 cpl if you're lucky, and they work you to death. They sonorq (like msn messenger) you to death too, and they just plain out lie about raises, etc. Like I said, they never paid me even.
Don't work for DIT if you want to get paid!
Two out of three paychecks have bounced so far. It seems they write checks with no money to cover them. I hereby take back all the nice things I had said about them being nice people to work for. Nice people do not bounce paychecks. Getting paid from them has been the worst experience I've ever had with any employer. I can't believe they bounce paychecks like they do. As of today, I'm done. This is a warning to others, don't let my experience be yours.
paid less for p.r.n. work
I'm feeling confused about why the MT business seems to pay less per line for p.r.n. work than part-time or full-time work. Out in the world where people do not stay at home, a premium is usually paid to temp services or to employees who agree to be available on a p.r.n. basis. Is it just my experience with certain companies? I would like to hear any thoughts on why this is true in this industry or if your experience has been different. I am beginning to feel dirty for asking for p.r.n. work.
Another day of no work. They must get paid
a lot to sell the Americans short on work.
Were you also not paid for the work you did?
If I'm tracking this thread correctly, that would make you MT #4 that worked but was not paid.
This is alarming, to say the least.
paid if you work
x
I can work all I want, but don't get paid overtime. I don't
have to clock in so I don't know how they would know how many hours I worked anyway.
I work them now..always been paid on time
and the changes that might be coming
You do not get paid for holidays unless you work them. sm
You do have to work 3 of the 6 recognized holidays. One of those has to be either Christmas or Thanksgiving. If you work Christmas one year, the next you have to work Thanksgiving. If you do not work on the holiday, you have to use PTO if you want to be paid.
Getting paid by the minute.....how does that work??
Since I can't imagine getting paid by the minute, how does that work and what is considered a good rate?? Thanks!!!
I don't work OT and when I do, it is paid at OT rates, which is the same as sm
holiday rates or 1-1/2 times my regular rate.
You keep saying this but do not back it up. Call the office and talk to Karyn; she will look into it and make sure that it is done. They cannot pay what they do not know. What department do you work for (ortho? B4? Rad?)
Actually, no. Most people would get paid at work!
xx
Can you elaborate? Do you get paid on time? Do you have enough work? sm
Are you radiology or acute care? What kind of problems?
Umm, I am paid every other Friday, on time. Work
