if you're being bounced around

Posted By: sm on 2005-08-25
In Reply to: Feel the same way ever since... - better not

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.

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.
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.
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 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 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 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 check
What do I do with a bounced check from an MT company?

Unfortunately, the owner is avoiding everyone...I want to take legal action.

Please let us know who it is from so we do not go there. You can use initials.
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!
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.
What about pay..on time? bounced checks?

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.
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.
Not them but CorT bounced my friends 3 checks. nm
.
you are correct. Newbies aren't sure and bounced around.
nm
present those bounced checks to your employer - sm
when you were hired, you were told when your paydays would be. There was no warning or notice made ahead of time that paychecks would be late. THEREFORE, your employer is responsible for the bounced check fees that were caused by the direct deposit being late!!! This is for direct deposit only - NOT FOR PAYCHECKS arriving by mail. Checks arriving by mail could be held up as a result of the postal service, carrier, etc. Therefore, your employer is not responsible for checks bounced because of that.
If ONE of my checks EVER bounced, I'd be gone. Obviously there are pay issues. I agree with you
in that I also smell mgt. I mean truly numerous people always complaining about pay issues and yet ONE person does get paid on time.. very fishy to me. I smell management. Time to move on
AccustatEMR's direct deposit BOUNCED....
I heard that all the direct deposits BOUNCED, even for their office staff...anyone out there got the scoop?  Have they lost the accounts they were on?  What's gonna happen to their MTs? 
Cut in pay/bounced checks/losing money
I have worked for this company for quite a while now. I have been very happy with them, until recently when they decided that they were going to cut my pay and other hardworking people's pay by 10% because they are losing money. They have had these accounts that they are losing money on for 3+ years and are just now realizing they are losing money. I have also had more than 1 of my paychecks to bounce. Beware!
Direct deposits can bounce too...and CTS bounced those as well!

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.
response to bounced checks and "too picky"

Please, do not let those untrue postings affect your decision to work for The MT Group.


This is Melanie (the one who posted the job for The MT Group).  The MT Group was started in 1996, and we have NEVER EVER EVER EVER bounced someone's check nor shorted the check.  We ask all of our ICs to turn in their line counts at the end of every pay period.  If they do not match what we have, I contact the IC so that we can compare.  Very rarely do I need to go that far.  When I put in our job post that we are honest and fair, I was being honest.  I was very discouraged to read that posting. 


As far as pickiness about spaces.  It is common knowledge that there should be two spaces after a period, and yes, we do expect that.  I can't help but think that the person who posted that reply just had a big problem with using two spaces.


And moodiness??  Who was moody?  The transcriptionist?


 


They only paid me half of what I earned and it bounced - three times.
stay away from them as far as you can!
apparently didn't work so well, that check she sent bounced! DMF!

Klaar....habitually late and a multitude of bounced checks..

The owner has no sense about this at all.  He will wait until you call to say your check is late and then say he will over-night it...right.  And there is NOTHING like paying your bills with your paycheck only to find out 10 days later that the paycheck bounced. 


Burn me once....shame on you


Burn me twice ... shame on me...I moved on.  Some people are still struggling.  Also, just if anyone is interested.  It is actually illegal to bounce checks and you can hire a constable (around $75 I think) in the town/area of the office to arrest the person writting the bad check.  The person will be taken to jail and will have to post bond to be released. I have considered doing this but I am from a different state and haven't looked into the details of doing it out of state.   


Tried to send you a msg, but it got bounced back. Can you give us the initials of this place
s
Yours may not but mine does, in fact, they posted a charge and it bounced (inside)
as I thought my check would be there. I could have avoided this by moving money from my savings account but I forgot.
Hope you're enjoying those slave wages you're earning.

So you guys feel you're getting paid what you're worth with VR?
I'm not trying to be snarky. I've never done VR, so I'm trying to understand.

You're happy with your paycheck with VR? Do you find the files to be as bad as the original post implied?
So you're telling me, basically, they're bad news?
They offered me 0.095/line and you know - it sounded too good to be true, but I SWEAR the recruiter told me they do not outsource. Oh brother... I just wish they'd be honest. I really don't know what to do.

No, they're not losing money....they're gaining!
If a company charges their clients by the line, I'm sure that line rate does not go down even though the MTs pay does.

ASR pays about 2/3 normal line rate to its MTs. Their ultimate goal is to have the MTs do twice as much work. Therefore, the client is getting their work faster, but paying their normal rate, while corporate gets that money and the MTs get the lower line rate.

Whether the newbies want to realize it or not, MTSOs have not increased MTs' salaries in the past 10 years. They still start out at the same pay as the last century!

This used to be a very lucrative profession. Nowadays, most MTs are considered to be paid at the poverty level. You don't believe me, look it up!
Hey, you're in luck then. They're hiring! (nm)
