Your fine as long as your employee, but if your IC, dont hold your breath waiting for a check.

Only employees get direct deposit. If you opt to be an IC, the checks may or may not get out and you may or not get them on a certain day.

You are right not to hold your breath
Sorry, but as much as I'm for the concept of free enterprise our system of cRapitalism breeds corruption and greed. Watch for this industry to be further diluted with regard to quality, benefits, pay, etc.
That 'doesn't' mean good jobs aren't possible, just that ever since the cRapitalists discovered there is $ in transcription, the industry was exploited... and the winners will generally 'not' be the worker bees. The 'new' generation coming into the field will not have the history (memory) of what it was like before, and because these jobs will still be higher-paying than many others, and allow one to work from home, finding 'worker bees' will likely not be too difficult, especially with the advent of VR...
Sorry to be a bummer - hope I'm proven wrong on this.
Don't Hold Your Breath
She does have a brand new $60,000 vehicle to pay for first.... Guess where her priorities are?
Don't hold your breath.
Especially if you are part-time.
Don't hold your breath. You won't get an answer. There are posters (or maybe just 1) that s
come on here, make ominous statements and never answer questions for details. They are just troublemakers.
I wouldn't hold my breath on more money
The entire medical field seeks perfection. Have you ever been a patient? If so, then would you want someone saying that they will not do a good job if they are not compensated for it? I'm sure there are plenty of MTs that will work for 5, 6, 7, and 8 cpl and the company they work for still requires perfection. I think you're being unrealistic. If there is a company out there paying more than 9 cpl, then let's hear about it other than someone who has been with the company for 10+ years. This business is going down in salary and certainly not up, and yes they do require perfection. Why shouldn't they?
What is it you want to talk about? Waiting with bated breath...nm

I dont know this company but I would absolutely hold into a job I had until I was sure these
 companies arent playing games. I dont trust any of them anymore. 
Manager relative told me noncomplete dont hold up.

Most companies hold your first check

Are you saying your bank put a hold on your check - sm
Or that your employer is telling you that your check didn't clear because their bank has placed a hold on the checks?
I'm asking because I worked for an MTSO who would always pay late or bounce checks and claim it was his bank's fault as they were placing extended holds on his deposits thereby funds not being available - supposedly.
If it is your bank, then yes, they will place holds on the check until the funds clear the bank - anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, depending on their policy.
If it is the MTSO, run, don't walk, away from this company. I had this happen to me back in 2005/2006 and believe it or not, it is still happening and it is amazes me that companies like this can continue to do business this way.
Any hold outs on the PC check at A?nm
nm
Since it is the same as Synthescribe, dont bother waiting.
You would probably not like it anyway.
Seems unethical to me to change a company name because you got bad feedback about being an Indian company.
same way an employee making $8 an hour. Hold some back.

Geez, it's so illegal to hold back a last week's check, regardless of the reason.

still waiting on my check from TTS
@#$%&
Anyone waiting for UPS to deliver their pay check?!
My check from FutureNet was sent UPS overnight delivery on Thursday and it still hasn't arrived!!! Nothing like not getting paid at Christmas time!
Is anyone waiting for a check from StatIQ?
Checks get mailed out on the 1st of the month and it is now the 15th and I still have not recieved mine. Today is the 15th and my second check of the month will be mailed out today, but yet I haven't even recieved my first check for July.
I have emailed them twice over the past few days and have yet to get a response. Just curious if anyone else is having any problems with getting paid.
be sure your first paycheck is not an NSF check. Then you'll be fine
hopefully all will go well for you. Good luck.
LARTECH, waiting 2 months for a check?
Is anybody out there getting paid at least 60 days out from Lartech? Waiting 2 months for a check? Is this crazy? I am having a hard time staying motivated to work because I know I will not see any money for months.
Anyone else new with MedWare still waiting on your first check? DD doesn't start until
s
Waiting for that first check is normal. Getting paid once a month is not.
s
You dont remember okay credit check but you
x
Why do AAMT have hand on MY check? Dont work
x
Ditto to what needavacationmt said. They talk but dont deliver. Do you truly want your check docked
based on what Indian QA says is proper sentence structure, use of English language, punctuation etc..I have no issues with expecting high quality but I think I had a difference in opinion on these factors. There is a language barrier as your supervisors IM you from India and just dont get things like NO.. I am not working right now and do not plan on it until my scheduled shift. I know another person said the recruiter actually told her that their middle of the road Transcriptionist make about $4000 a month average. What kind of scam and lie is that. Just goes to show they will tell you anything to get you to work for them. You'd be sorry.
Dont you have to pay for internet and long distance charges from them because most of their accounts
are not on the internet. I think this is the company.
they only wanted 2 years of radiology...i dont know why its taking them so long in your case, hope y

Check your employee info...sm
I would bet they have themselves covered on that end.
Horrible company to work for.
employee of D&L for how long?
How long have you been employed there? Just wondering if they are stringing you around if you are new to the place.
Check the website for Employee info/job openings. nm
s
I am an employee, and they ARE flexible (as long as you do not abuse)...sm
and there is still plenty of work. Medware has different accounts and platforms so just because 1 account/platform does not have work does not mean that they ALL do not have work. I have worked for other companies that have had NO work, and so far have not had this issue since I have been with Medware. As a matter of fact, the ONLY time work has been low is around a holiday (usually the day after) but picks up VERY quickly, so not an all day thing. I have been with Medware for over a year and am VERY happy! HTH.
I'm a long-term Precyse employee ...
In short, if you need to make a decent living, to use the words of other posters about some other MT services, run, run very far and fast in the opposite direction.
Other employees may present another work experience, but I've found that despite the fact that they have great managers, good team spirit, and treat the MT's with courtesy and respect that for the most part the dictators are terrible, sound quality is poor, and I've yet to receive a stable primary. I get bounced around all over the place due to low work volumes or accounts being transferred over to the offshoring side of the company for Indian MT's to work on.
ASR takes up a significant portion of our transcription now. Between ASR and the offshoring it's my perception (and it may just be a matter of perception) that most of the 'easier' dictators have been routed in this direction while those of us still doing straight transcription get a more concentrated pool of challenged dictators. Because there's not a mix of the good and the bad it's very difficult to pull lines. I haven't made my company minimum production in I don't know when and know of many other MT's who are in the same boat.
The platform, though, is very user friendly and only rarely has glitches that prevent you from working (although glitches do occur).
I hope this helps.
P.S. For some reason it's difficult to find recent info in the archives on Precyse. I remember a week or two ago another poster saying that she too had done a search and couldn't come up with anything more recent than 2006, although I know that there have been more recent postings.
Speaking of Spheris - How long does it take to get check in mail?
I am changing banks and so they are going to mail me this paycheck - I am in California so I was curious if anyone could give me an idea of how many days it would take roughly for the check to arrive.
Mucho gracias!
I hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm
s
You'll work as an employee, not IC. Need your own C-phone and pay for your own long distance line
s
thanks.....you are a breath of fresh air! NM
Take a deep breath
I for the most part have been a lurker for the most part.....lol. There have been times when I have read some things that have been posted and wondered about the poster's state of mind, but for the most part I take what I want to take and I let go of the crap. I have made a decision NOT to read the political part of this board. I do read an occasional Gab posting. I check out the company boards mostly and occasionally check the Job Seeker's board. If you feel that you need to leave then I'm sorry to see you go as there needs to be people who are of the mind set to be POSITIVE and RESPECTFUL of others on this board. If you leave then that is one less person. So I hope you stick around and simply do what I do: Let one eyebrow go up and then say hmmmmm. Unhappy people do unhappy things.
I agree - I came from MQ and WMX is like a breath of fresh air. (sm)
Working the extra 5 hours per week is nothing compared to having pay reductions, benefit reductions, constant monitoring to make sure you are on line EXACTLY when you should be, having as much as 32 - yes, one day I had 32 different accounts to work on.
I have only been here about 5 months so far, but everyone has been pleasant, helpful and just generally makes my working less of a chore and more of a feeling of team effort.
Prolly wasting your breath, she's not even
A rising tide lifts all boats equally. (The reverse is also true.)
Ditto to all you said. Amphion is a breath of fresh air
Axolotl MT -- take a deep breath and re-read . . .
Wandering MT's post. You were a little harsh. Why did you feel the need to rub it in her face that she didn't pass the preemployment test? I mean really, I'm sure that stings bad enough without you bringing it up again. I interviewed with Axolotl back August. They sounded great, but I decided to accept a job elsewhere.
Honestly if everyone there is as high and mighty as you come off, I'm glad I decided to go elsewhere!!
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.
nmnmnm
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock
x
I would rather know what they expect up front. I love working there. Breath of fresh air sm
I was with the Q for 12 years and started with Keystrokes a year ago tomorrow. I am fast and accurate and had no problems with their requirements.
They are definitely worth taking a look at. I make more money with them (at 0.09 per line now) than I did with MQ at 0.11 per line. Better accounts, no huge pool, plenty of work.
They are growing every year, every month it seems and do not lose accounts.
I am glad I made the switch.
If you do not like what they tell you upfront, try somewhere else. I liked having the information without having the ask 50 million questions and not knowing what to expect.
I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
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.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like
x
well then, maybe the only way they got a hold
of your name is that maybe you are from New York. Did you used to work for Ubiqus maybe????
