Webmedx supplies computer. You pay a deposit out a few paychecks. Not much.

Don't remember exact amount. You're supposed to get it back when you quit. Good luck. You have to be full-time (40 hr/week).

Left Webmedx and have yet to see computer deposit
Has anyone out there left Webmedx and had their computer deposit returned? I returned the computer on 8/22 and have not heard anything since. All the phone numbers at the Operations Center in PA go straight to voicemail. Any ideas?
Can anyone tell me if MDI (out of Maryland-IC status)supplies computer?
On their ad they don't state anything about the computer specifics.  Do you rent it?  Thanks for any info. I am assuming as an IC you would use your own computer but it is odd that there is no info about what you need???

Computer deposit
This is not a deposit, it is an ongoing monthly charge to use their equipment. 
Deposit on computer/not returned
I had a laptop from them and when they returned my deposit it was minus $150 nonrefundable deposit which I had not been informed of when I requested a laptop.  Had I known that my full deposit would not be refunded, I would not have requested one.  I agree with the post about working 12 hours a day whether there was work or not and even if there was work, it took that long just to get in your 7 or 8 hours of actual typing time.  It was a nightmare.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the computer deposit SM
back after returning the computer? Thanks.
Webmedx provides equipment for a deposit sm
which you get back after you leave the company.
Webmedx returned deposit no problems! nm
Webmedx is a reputable company; not sure why you are worried but thought you might like to know I received my deposit without a single problem. 
Webmedx equipment deposit question...sm
I recently have given notice at Webmedx and am wondering if I'll ever actually see the $125 deposit I had to pay when I started for the computer. Anyone out there ever have any trouble getting it refunded?
WEBMEDX - NO RETURN ON COMP DEPOSIT - 3 MONTHS

It's been 3 months since I left the company, and I have not received my computer deposit yet.  I called and talked with HR and Accounts Payable, who promised me a check weeks ago.   I called today and was told they had a snag -- no one to sign checks, providing me with a lame excuse about having to send the checks to ATL next week, etc., etc.   NOT MY PROBLEM -- You took the money out of my check, now send it back since your computer was returned in good condition.   (Not to mention that I have not received my last paycheck -- haven't pursued that because it's less than $5). 


Also -- when I worked for the company, the accounts (3 hospitals) continually ran out of work.  I was to give WEBMEDX 12 hours out of my day, checking every 30 minutes to see if there was work, and then sign off if there was no work so as not to abuse the minimum wage laws (i.e. so they would not have to pay me).   This was the worse experience I have ever had with a transcription service.   HORRIBLE!!


WEBMEDX PROVIDES A COMPUTER FOR BOTH FT AND PT EMPLOYEES!

My question was whether or not the Webmedx computer
was WiFi compatible so I know what to do about switching modem from other computer.   
If you work for Webmedx, you are using their computer unless you are an IC. nm
.
Starting with Webmedx Monday - computer not delivered yet and tomorrow the 4th. (sm)
Does anybody know if they deliver on Saturdays and/or holidays.  I sure don't want to have to reschedule my training as I have already quit my other job.  Not sure if it is coming UPS or FedEx, could check their web sites but don't have a tracking number. 
Diskriter, I believe supplies PC. nm

Spheris allows and supplies but does not require SH (sm)
The platforms have their built in expansion programs; however, if you like you can be issued Shorthand
Its common when a company supplies
The two I've worked for that supplied computers monitor usage and especially monitor if you're using it for any non-work related surfing.  They also reserve the right to come on remotely and check your system for any problems, security violations, unauthorized hardware/software additions, etc.  It is their property so I guess they have the right to say how and when it gets used.
Where can we shop for supplies that aren't imported? sm
I really don't mind paying a little more, have always supported our local merchants, but just can't find everything my son needs for school, etc., locally except at Wal-Mart. I don't buy his clothing or shoes there. What major retailers sell USA products? TIA.
Reference book, office supplies, equipment. nm
 
Talk to a tax guy. There are plenty of tax breaks, supplies, mortgage, electric,
;P
I wanted to use my own computer and get rid of the RENT on TT computer, but Vista is not compatible.
Good way to make them money.  Not have to upgrade software so that Vista is compatible with Vista.  Huh?
One more computer question. I got my computer today and
trying to set it up.  Man unpacking the box and setting everything up is a major undertaking; more so for me because I used a laptop before and my desk isn't tower friendly.   Anyway, no info came with the tower and I don't yet have the password to get in (paperwork says to call M-F).  Is the tower WiFi compatible?   My DSL is hooked to a different computer and I wanted to know if I can setup new computer as WiFi or if I need to move modem to new computer and set other computer up as WiFi. 
QT paychecks
Question for current QT employees who have their checks direct deposited but when are they due to go into the bank?  I have lost track of the DD dates after recently having moved and want to make sure that my check goes into the bank. I know check from the 15th went in approximately 7/21, but one of the office gals said hers was already posted and want to check before I call the office tomorrow  -- thanks
Did anyone ask if we would be getting our last paychecks at QT? sm
I totally forgot to ask if they would mail them out right away since we received little notice or if payday would be normal date or not at all? 
Paychecks
Not like that anymore. If you want direct deposit, yes, they do charge, but it's reasonable. Better than waiting on a paper check. Pay is ALWAYS on time.
Re: JLG paychecks
Just a thought but what about having your check sent either Fed Ex or UPS? There was a company that I worked for and for a fee, they sent my check to my home. Since I had some problems with UPS delivering my check to me in a timely manner, we finally ended up having it sent directly to the bank and it was deposited like a direct deposit.
JLG paychecks
FutureNet also mails paychecks or sends them Fed Ex -- with JLG, I have it set up to be DD'd directly to my bank since my bank is out of state, with no local branches
paychecks
The payment is sent out on the 7th, so yes you would get it on the 8th. You just have to plan ahead. I know sometimes it gets aggravating, we all need our paychecks right now, but I would rather know it is the 7th and 22nd then to just guess, and at least we do always get our paychecks. I've read a lot on here about people not getting paid at all.

Cut them some slack, the company is growing quickly. It will take time for everything to fall into place. A previous poster said awhile back she would give them a 6-7 right now but is sure they will be a 9 to work for soon. I agree.


JLG paychecks
FN is another company that does not offer DD, at least they did not before or it was based on a certain period of time with a certain amount of lines done in that period of time. The excuse from FN was that too many MTs signed up for DD, then 2 months later, changed banks -- go figure
MTS paychecks....sm
A little slow and ALWAYS shorted. Oh but wait...he'll just catch you next paycheck.....Oh, my mistake, totally forgot....excuse after excuse after excuse.
JLG paychecks
Does JLG still mail checks late? I'm really interested in this company, but cannot afford to not know when I might get paid.
Late paychecks. sm
Company I work for always behind. Paydays supposed to be 1st and 15th, and pay from 2 weeks behind. Invoice on 1st is paid the 15th. They now say payday is 4th and 20th without saying anything ahead of time. With wait on first class mail, I average a paycheck about every 25 days. It is terrible.
Bouncing paychecks....
Is there anything you can do when check issued by company bounce? I have only worked part time for this company about six months, but this is the second time one of their checks has bounced. I am only working here until I get a few accounts on my own independently so I that is why I have continued to work for them. I just cannot believe a company would be so money-tight as to issue bad checks for work that has been done. Anyone ever have this happen to them?????
Wish they would consider MT's paychecks before hiring all those MT's, tho

Huge accounts are not to be seen yet.  We long-timers are just out of work/low on work because of all this hiring craze. 


TT, hurry up and bring on all those monstrous accounts, because it is going to take those to keep the the influx of MT's you have hired in order for us current MTs to have work and ability to pay their bills!


Should be LOTS of KS' MTs' paychecks...nm
.
Sorry, but I have the paychecks to prove otherwise
Every account is different, and I lucked out and got two great accounts. My main account is a super easy ER account with heavy templates, which we get paid for, and I easily do 400-500 lines per hour on that account. My secondary account is a basic 4 hospital account, which gives me really long reports, and I usually do about 300-350 lines per hour on that one. So, it is possible to make that much money there if you focus and work hard.
So our paychecks will be cut by the new company, right?
Did not go inhouse as anticipated.  Just a liaison, she is.  The previous company was so accurate and on time.  Hope this one is the same, if they are the ones cutting our paychecks for us.  M in the office is only a go-between, right?
Sten-Tel Paychecks
Has anyone working for Sten-tel had trouble getting their checks on time the last couple of times?  We are suppose to get paid on the 15th and they send them out on the 15th (which I think they should send them so you get them on the 15th, but that's another gripe).  I always use to get them 2-3 days after that. Last month I didn't get it for over 10 days and right now I still don't have this month's check yet.  Just curious what is going on all of a sudden.
Late paychecks

Small MTSO's sometimes use company funds to pay their personal bills as well, so if they have a lot of bills or something unexpected happens, there goes the payroll money! 


Well, all I have to say is they sign the paychecks
and if you don't like it find something else, but you never know, this may happen in a new job too.
Whatever it takes to keep our paychecks low
They put us on ISR so we'll be faster, then confuse us with multiaccount specifics x2.  By the time we get it all straight, the account leaves.  Its just a sneaky ploy to keep our production low as we have to stop and refer to account specifics and fiddle with QA picking at us.  Heaven forbid they should put 1 person on 1 account done a single way with 1 set of rules - she might get fast enough to actually make money.  Lets put 20 people on 10 accounts with 20 sets of rules, then nobody will make squat, except maybe QA.
etranz in GA is still bouncing paychecks. sm

I just got an email from a friend/former co-worker of mine who also worked for etranz in Georgia.  She had over $1000 in checks bounce.  It took her almost 3 months to get them, finally did and now they have bounced!  Please, if any of you MTs know of anyone who is looking for work, please be sure to steer them away from etranz.  They make their ads sound great with weekend incentives and higher line rates, but getting your paycheck is nearly impossible....and when you do get it - it may bounce. 


Please pass the word around about this unprofessional, unethical company!


RE: Breitner late paychecks

I have worked for BTS for 2 1/2 years now and NEVER has BTS been late with my check or deducted lines.  They pay for exactly what they said they would pay when I was hired.  You have to take into consideration the mail system.  BTS can't do anything about that.  Why didn't you opt for direct deposit?  It's a wonderful  and sure thing.  My money has ALWAYS been there on time every time. 


YES, BTS is hiring and I strongly recommend them.  I have been there for 2 1/2 years and have NEVER run out of work.  If I'm low (which is very rare) I'm given another account to help with.  The account manager is very understanding and accommodating if you have sick kids, appointments or whatever.  I've worked for sevral MT companies and I have to say this is the best one that I've found.  Thank you BTS .  Oh I must add, I have recieved a Christmas gift every year too along with something for MT week. 


 


LOTs KS' MTs paychecks prove otherwise (sm)

$$$$  Mine included.  Just do a search of the Forums and Archives.  No need to beg for work with Keystrokes!  If anyone has to beg to work with them to begin with it's probably because it is not the right fit.  Calling to follow up on job interest and begging are two different things.  If a company is in transition and very busy, then that's it, they're very busy. Just take it as that not as a luminous sign.


That's it for me!


NSF Paychecks Eight Crossing in Sacramento
Paychecks being returned for nonsufficient fund on multiple occasions to multiple MTs.  Beware.
Had trouble getting paychecks a while back.
Don't know how it is now.
So, after all of the hoopla about JLG paychecks being late, sm

are current employees satisfied with the outcome/explanation/etc.?  More importantly, would you recommend that someone take a job with this company?  I always heard good things about them in the past, but that was a long time ago. 



PAYCHECKS SHOULD BE MAILED IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER . . .
SO WAS TO ARRIVE AS CLOSE TO THE DATE OF PAYDAY AS POSSIBLE. NO EXCEPTIONS. To be happy you got your paycheck 5 days AFTER payday? NOT ME.
Speaking of late paychecks....
What is generally the cause of late paychecks? MTSO says their big client has not paid, thus delaying payroll. But I have to wonder if there are more things going on than what they say. Thoughts? Experiences?
