    If go with them, check yourself if getting paid for

    Thanks for your kindness. I did check, and it just says we are paid on sm
    the 15th and the last of the month, and that if they fall on a Saturday or Sunday, we are paid on the following Monday.  However, the 31st was on a Sunday, and we were paid on the Friday before, plus with the following Monday being a holiday, I was just hoping … hopes and dreams, one of the few things that are still free 
    If and when you find one, be sure do double check yourself that you are being paid for what they
    :P
    I didn't get paid, but work as been so low, my check won't be much anyway. :( nm

    Waiting for that first check is normal. Getting paid once a month is not.

    I would hope they were terminated
    If you cannot do the requirements and you face getting docked, you are going to let work just go thru without correcting it, something that is a legal document. I would hope they do not have their jobs long. The MTs are the disaster here, not VR.
    If anyone has either resigned or been terminated from Amphion,
    I would appreciate knowing how the process went.  Thanks.
    so, it wasn't put on paper that you are terminated

    Terminated after doing a very short amount of reports
    I was hired by company A, whom I found out subcontracts from company B which is a large medical transcription company in California.  I worked for the second company for several years, and all of a sudden, no work  well getting hired by Company A  I found out why.  I transcribed a total of 3-4 reports for company A yesterday and today, and they wanted things such as pulse ox' and subcutaneous, etc  -- got called on the carpet if these abbreviations were expanded or spelled out.  I have been an MT for over 25 years and to me, when it is abbrevations like this, it sends a red flag in my mind as to quality.  If you want further information, please email me privately
    Do you mean only SR people terminated, straight transcription ok? (Sm)
    Surely they would give editors a chance to change to straight typing. Maybe I am misunderstanding this.
    I call either way TERMINATED and unless you committed some grievous act....
    File, girlfriend...Go get 'em!!!
    People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
    after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
    Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're

    Does background check include credit check?

    Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid
    nm
    Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!

    Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!


    Any company that makes you wait to get paid until they get paid by the client
    is not a company you want to get involved with. That's part of being an MTSO, figuring out how to cover your payroll while waiting to get paid. I would stay away!
    Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm
    m
    Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.
    x
    I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm
    nm
    Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
    since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday.  It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh.  It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.

    Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
    What is WRONG with these companies?    
    Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
    and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th?  My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't?  This has happened a lot lately. 
    At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
    nm
    Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid

    I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us.  We have christmas coming up.  I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it.  I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too.  How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us.  How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid.  She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously.  Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on. 


    To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late.  I sincerely hope you get your last check.


    Credit check, FBI check was not for
    me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
    They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm

    Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
    I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes.  When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces.  I checked it with more than one program.  I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed.  It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed.  My checks do not include spaces either.  No one at the company knows what is up.  I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces.  So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included?  You might be in for a surprise.  Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC.  Maybe time to do something else.  Thanks for listening.
    You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
    I don't like that at all.
    Thank you. I will check into it.

    First Pay Check?
    Is this your first paycheck from the company? If it is, then that's what happened to me on my first pay check only. I get paid every two weeks, but the first paycheck was withheld for two weeks so when I finally got paid I waited 6 weeks, but now my pay comes every two weeks.

    Did you check... (sm)
    The system status on the main page? As of 1 pm PDT, status is Okay -- sort of -- It's the phone company's fault. (It was that way a couple of hours ago, too.) Clearly there's a technical problem of some sort(but I'm not sure I'd get paranoid about it and/or say Same Old S...)
    no check yet either

    Yes, I am in the same situation with the same company.  They informed of my 9 cents rate and weekly pay.   That was two and a half weeks ago.  The work was definitely there and they constantly calling me to work.  I got suspicious the second day when they did not send me a 1099 and no other paperwork besides their MT scope letter which means nothing but what hours can you commit to.  Well, I felt it was too good to be true.  I really like the account too but they wanted to me email every 30 minutes the work so they could cut and paste the work into the system.  I was like how the system know if it was my work etc, etc.  By the grace and mercy of prayer I have a job with benefits now while I was only IC with DocuMed.


    FBI check and OSi
    FBI called a friend's ex to get the scoop on me. He was later arrested for sex crimes and served time for that. Yeap talk about big brother OSi and FBI go hand in hand they have a ton of gov't accounts. We received an insurance settlement from a car accident and I was able to quit & leave them behind. Good riddance to them. That whole experience was awful.
    Be sure you check out other
    sources of job ads or even just look around for companies in your area and send in a resume even if you don't know if they are hiring. Check Craig's list for your area. Check sites like Monster. Watch for jobs that want a resume faxed or mailed instead of e-mailed. They do that so they get a lower volume of resumes, which works to your advantage.

    NO...No check yet.
    No check here yet either. My check has been 3 to 4 days late for the last two months or so, but anticipate one shortly. Hopefully. I know the mail does take a couple of days and then the weekend was here, but.....
