check bounced
i got a check from cortmedical and it bounced. they have still not bothered to pay me. it has been over one month since i have been trying to get the check from them but unfortunately i still have not got it yet.
Bounced check?
I would call the National labor board ASAP and report them. They will get your money to you and possibly take legal action against the company. Good luck!
Bounced check
What do I do with a bounced check from an MT company?
Bounced Check
Unfortunately, the owner is avoiding everyone...I want to take legal action.
bounced check
Please let us know who it is from so we do not go there. You can use initials.
WELL THE CHECK BOUNCED!!

OK, another update-- THis chick paid my friend but THE CHECK IS NO GOOD!!


She won't answer her phone.  She gives lies on IM.


So the MT has now worked an entire new pay period and likely won't get paid for that either.  


okay, this is what most people do when they get a bounced check - sm
they take the check to the police, who in turn will file a report and then an arrest can be made. I have been in this business 18 years, and yes I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ARRESTED!!! The absolute hardest state to get this done in is in Florida, but if you know the right people and can push the right buttons, it can be done.

Now, ETRANZ is in GEORGIA, so start doing the leg work and stop waiting for the checks. If this business files for bankruptcy, you may be S*** out of luck for any check, depending on how it is done. If this company is filed as an Inc, then you may also be SOL because of the laws in various states.

So stop calling them and contact your police department.
I have been there 4 years and never had a bounced check. sm
I have and always have had FT work, greater than 1400 lines a day.
I didn't get paid, but work as been so low, my check won't be much anyway. :( nm

Apparently you didn't read them
There are posts from 2008 with plenty of negative info.  You should search again and make sure you read them this time.
Does anyone work for the Buffalo/Amherst office of MQ and do you get bounced around a lot on
accounts or do you have a main mostly. What can you tell me about these people.
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.
Double check - are you sure they didn't say

FUNNY - BUT YOU DIDN'T CHECK
http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/69417.html
Well apparently you don't have much work lately
LOL
Sorry you didn't get your check. Guess different areas are different.

I didn't HEAR of it being over $500 each month..I see it taken out of my check every 2 weeks..(sm
$254 each pay period.  I honestly hope you're right that the final paperwork was signed last Friday because I had decided to have it discontinued after the March 15 paycheck and either look on my own or go without coverage for a while until I find a more reasonable plan.  The insurance itself is great but too high.  I can't imagine how you are paying only $184 per month and I have been paying over $500 since December 2006 for single coverage!
I work there and things apparently have changed since you were there.
Not all the people you named are still there nor is the dental plan Delta. It is Guardian. Insurance is excellent.

Now, they hire employees and not ICs. They do that for a reason. They can better schedule and meet TATs that way. I think employee status warrants meeting your hours, but what I do know is that they do allow some flexibility and if you need it, all you need to do is say it as long as it is not 12-hr flexibility. If you have to run out and get the kids, tell them.

This company is a good company. The people are quite nice. Their QA staff is good. They do follow the BOS to a tee.

It's a personal choice, but if someone did not at least check them out, I think they are missing out. They are very good. Best QA staff I have ever worked with.
Apparently, they undercut because they have MTs who work for free and the hospitals had to pay them.
I know people didnt intend on working there for free but it sounds like too many MTs didnt get paid.
Apparently, they have contracted with India to work some accounts as they are getting paid less on
these accounts. Obviously, labor is cheaper in India. So, they have to send the work where they can afford to. I know I'm done with them. Pretty soon, there will be no jobs left because these hospitals apparently want cheap labor. You get what you pay for is all I am saying.
I am apparently being stiffed by a woman in Virginia for vacation coverage work I did. sm

I am not sure where I go from from here.  She told me that she would pay me for invoices from 06/26 and 07/11 on 07/22 (yesterday).  When I emailed her and asked her to verify that she had indeed paid me, she read the email (you can check on AOL) and did not respond.  It is only $338, but in my world right now, that is a lot of money to lose.  I blame myself because I broke one of my rules by working for someone who did not have direct deposit, and also by waiting for over a month to get my first check.  She did pay that one, but I am thinking now it was only because she still needed me to continue working to finish out her vacation coverage. 


I suppose I can file a small claims suit, although I thought someone told me that you have to go to that state to file.  She's in Virginia and I am in Colorado.  I have a friend in that area, so perhaps he could do the preliminary leg work for me for that.  I was also going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.  I thought of contacting her clients to let them know that although she is paid for her services, she does not pay others, but I am not sure if that is legal or not. 


I am a bit frustrated -- mad at myself for trusting her -- and scared too because I was counting on the money.  Any ideas? 


Thanks.


I have bounced around (sm)
from company to company looking for a job that I enjoy, pays a decent rate, respects me as an employee, and understands I am a human being with a family, home, etc. And finally I found all that at DeVenture! I could not be happier.

Also, paid time off is calculated individually, not some artificially low hourly rate that punishes those working the hardest (and making the most) when they take time off.
if you're being bounced around
on different accounts -- have you ever talked with your mgr? asked to be left on your main account the majority of the time? Do you communicate?

I see the stats -- as should you every day -- there is NOT a lack of work at SL, and i have seen no difference with the new MTs being on-board (affecting what i am given in the workpool), experience no obvious problem with cherry-picking.

You know communication is a 2-way street -- if you are unhappy about something, talk to your manager -- try to effect a change, unless you'd rather complain of course.
RE: Bounced checks
I had this happen to me recently too twice and I will never work for that company again. That is not good business. 
Bounced checks
Check with your state. Bounced checks are a criminal matter, and each state has guidelines for you to collect your money. Here it's through the DA's office.
BOUNCED CHECKS

Bounced checks again at D&L
This is not the first time this has happened and there was always a good reason but has anyone else had checks bounce from D&L Typing Service lately or is it mine and their reason is valid? They seem to be hiring, so they have money coming in - and always a lot of work for me - what is going on? do these people really have that many problems with a bank or do they not put the money earned by their company into the account like they should? I am not working for someone else's bills to be paid, I am working for mine. I see a lot of posts asking about them but no one ever responds - is this the norm for D&L Typing Service - have I just been lucky until now? Does any one pay their employees without bouncing a check? Can anyone be honest with me please.
bounced checks
I just want to remind everyone who has allowed the MT companies that bounced checks on you all, and in turn causing you to have bounced checks - that even if they reimburse you - your credit is screwed.

D&L is scrambling to make good on checks and if they succeed many of you will forgive, may not forget, but you will continue working.

Have they paid you late fees, interest, have they made up the credit problems you now have.

Why do we allow this to happen? I am so fed up and tired of this nonsense. If any company does not pay you on time as stated in their hiring information - fine them, charge them, and certainly if they bounce checks Press Charges. Do not accept their wink and apology - they will continue to do this with you or others.


bounced checks
There are multiple posts here on the subject especially lately - contact the DA office and press charges, contact the labor board and file claim. If they decide to cut and run, claim bankruptcy - your claim will be there and you could potentially be reimbursed, otherwise potential loss. Do not let these companies get away with this. Post the name so we can all be warned. A bounced check from another person could still ruin your credit - nothing can make that up.
bounced checks
Donot let them get away with it - Recently a company hs been noted on here bouncing thousands of dollars worth of checks - sent out replacement checks and those funds are no good either - there is a web site to post for civil charges and national charges - you are entitled up to 500.00 for each check they bounce once demand has been made - file your claim now. If I could post the site I would - Google - national check fraud center - all information is there
Pay cut/bounced checks
Hello I have been working for MedTrans for quite a while now. I have had 2 checks to not clear my bank, and I have just been informed that I along with other hard working people will be receiving a 10% cut in our pay, because after 3+ years they have just realized they are losing money. Beware!
OSi didn't work out for me...lack of work sm
I worked there for about 3 months last year, and even though I was on 3 different accounts, I was continually running out of work.  They wanted me to flex to meet their schedule needs (working on my days off and late at night), but do to having small children, and having to have a babysitter when I am working, I need a set scheduled, and they just couldn't handle that.  I also thought they micromanaged.  I like to be left alone to do work.  I ended up slinking back to the Q after 3 months was up. 
Check the archives. Most work done in India, they
have office in India.  I have never seen anything good about them. 
Check out the job board for clinic work.

I work at Webmedx and am very happy there. Check them out! nm

Yes. Check the # of jobs...0, 4, 21, etc., the words OT are there. The work soon won't be.
This happens often. Yes, it says OT is offered on an account, but there may be 0 jobs available. They absolutely do not owe us any OT at all ever, but it would be nice to get 40 hours in during your posted availability and not have to constantly flex to do so. People have other obligations in life besides Webmedx.
Didn't work for me
Not a great experience for me. I felt they did not have a clue as to what an MT was/did, espected way too much, way too soon. Training period of a few hours, then expected to make line count within 1 to 2 weeks on brand new account that no one had done yet - actually expecting a brand new employee to implement the account (huge) and make 1200 lines a day at the same time! I had 25 years' experience at the time and lasted there a very short time as I am older but wiser now!
Didn't work well enough for me.

When pressing the foot pedal, sometimes it would do nothing or would hesitate before hearing any dictation.  I found this unacceptable and a pain in the butt.  I don't think Vonage is allowing MTs anymore.  At least, that's what I last heard. 


didn't work for me
disorganized, wouldn't know QA if it bit 'em, lots of files to download and cross reference, have to wait 6-8 weeks for first check, lots of phone calls (interruptions)....
Job didn't work out

Personally, I think it is the company that should feel bad.  What did you do to make you feel bad when the company turns out not to be the same as they seemed to be in the sales pitch?  If you showed up on the first day of this job and couldn't transcribe, do you think they would hesitate to let you go? 


What we need in our industry is more courageous folks who will stand up for themselves and not take any @#$%#@#$ from these companies that basically lie to get you to work for them.  They are taking advantage of us and it is only because we are letting them get away with it.  I know, cause I've been there.  I stuck it out with one awful company for 6 months.  After that, there have been some that I've rejected before we got past the contract.  There were at least 3 that I quit after less than a week.  Same story.  The job was totally different than it was supposed to be, according to the description of the recruiter. 


Don't sweat it.  Just tell them goodbye, it didn't work out.


 


Didn't work for me...
I tried working for them, but they told me I could not work a flexible schedule, no matter that I would get my required amount of hours...when I say flexible I mean I need to work off and on with no set scheduled times to work. They were always calling me wondering why I wasn't working...this was the pits.
I tried this, but it didn't work. Thanks. nm

LOL, you must be one who didn't do their work

As stated many times, if you work your schedule, meet your line counts and produce quality documents, you will do just fine.


If you cannot produce quality documents, if you do not want to work the schedule you set and if you cannot produce the minimum line count which you were aware of when you were hired, (1200 lines), then don't come to Axolotl.


Axolotl is not the place for MTs who do their own thing. If you are disciplined, want to make good money and have good benefits, then it might be the place for you.


did that, didn't work either
/
you WISH you didn't have to work sm
from home---have kids???? How about be thankful you CAN work from home if you need to work from home.

If you are only doing this because you have kids you are probably in the wrong profession. you are saying your employer has serious mental problems.......you are working and you get a check correct? You work from home and don't have to face this person correct?

Sounds to me like he isn't the only one who has some problems!
it's been done - didn't work out well. n/m

What about pay..on time? bounced checks?
nm
Tried to e-mail but it bounced. You download from
a secure site, usually via an FTP site that your company has setup.  You download to a folder on your hard drive, the same as if you were downloading music or a program.  You then use a foot pedal connected to your computer that is compatible with the software program to play the files.  There are still lots of companies who for some reason have not converted to digital files though, or require you to be type into their system live. 
I had the same thing, not bounced but not in the bank. Will never do
it again. Once may be explainable. Twice or more there is no excuse.
Sounds like my job now except I'm being bounced from account
to account with all totally different client profiles.  On the 10th different one today already.
Check thru the recent posts here that have them running out of work. nm
