You already asked on one board. Aren't you supposed to limit it to one?

Yep, she used to be in payroll.

it isn't just payroll tax
the GST/HST is added to everything you buy - so an additional 13% on food, clothing, cars, energy, education, housing, etc., etc., etc. And while it may be $50 a check for you for some people it would be a lot more and for some a lot less. Hmmmm, sounds kinda like redistribution to me.
No need to submit anything for payroll if you are SE.
The platform keeps track of your lines and dates worked. As an SE, you choose your own hours and they expect you to work them, but actual time does not need to be submitted. They, of course, would prefer you also send in a time sheet, but cannot require it.
That is not just for payroll. It's how to find your

That isn't just for payroll. I am from the Southeast
and we were told by supervisors to use the method to read reports to check reports we had to send to QA if we wanted to see how they looked when the client gets them.
I also talked to payroll and they
are the ones who told me it was a live check. It is not direct deposit.
Payroll service sm
I used a payroll service, the cost was very nominal and they do all the work, keep all the records, send you statements, make out the payroll check and you hand everything over to the tax guy at the end of the year. I did open a separate checking account, it is much easier than mixing it up with your own money, keep it separate, no incorporation necessary unless you expect to expand. Just an opinion, of course. You can pay your own taxes from your account at the end of the year if you don't pay yourself each week, you can pay self-employment tax and use a Schedule C for yourself, be sure to keep some money in the bank for this.
2005 Payroll Schedule

The payroll schedule for MedQuist states PayDate as 07/11/05 (Monday). 


no you crack me up. if you are on mq payroll, you should really take a cut. not to clever to not
be able to disguise alias when trying to devise a multiple personality back-up to your multiple posts backing MQ.  LOL.  Nice try! 
No time sheet - but something to payroll? nm

If you talked to payroll, they must have told you what it was for. What was it for? nm.

How is that falsfying payroll records ? - sm
she is only paid for what lines she produces at each job. I am sure her MTSOs must think she is slow though in terms of production, but that is her problem. Also what is unethical/criminal about it? I gather you only work 1 job and think it is wrong to work for more than 1 company at a time. Obviously I disagree with that idea. Sure most companies would prefer you only work for them, but most cannot give you enough work to pay the bills, so you need 2 jobs, plus it is not wise to have all your eggs in one basket. If you lose your job then your are screwed, but if you have 2 then at least you still have some income coming in.
it clearly says for payroll. i had to download microsoft office to see it.

it shows everything past and prior line counts.  i counted the spaces and lines and they did not add up to MQ version some times.  wonder of the MQMT lawyers have seen this. 


I already said that I talked to payroll and asked why this was in IPAY,
They said that we will be receiving a check in the mail with a letter explaining it. They would not go into detail. I don't know how much more clear I need to make this for you.
Payroll law? MDI-Fl now pays 6th working day after end of payperiod.
California laws say must be paid on or before the 5th working day after end of pay period.  Because the company is in Florida, would their law supercede California law? 
I'd ask my friend if her MTSO would like someone familiar with the account on her payroll.

Apply for a business loan to meet payroll.

Such lies. Just yesterday I had a payroll problem. 1 phone call, person answered, and IMMEDIATELY
remedied the situation. There are always people there to help us.  Wendy is just lying, and like I'll bet she's lying about her name! Its sooooooooo stupid to do this stuff when you're a disgruntled ex.
Yes, they are supposed to, but
and it is our responsibility to do the VERY best we can with what we are given. I KNOW there are crappy dictators;I do way more than my share 'cause cherrypickers don't get called on the carpet(but that's another story). I don't earn much at this and it stinks, but I just can't believe that you think we do not contribute to patient care and are merely "typists". No wonder we can't get any respect in the form of better pay, etc. Just because the doctors make the big bucks we should do sloppy work? I don't think so. Don't you want your records or your family's to be accurate? I would hope so.
wow! are we supposed to be seeing this?
?
Well, how are they supposed to get the
they don't know where to send them? Considering that a lot of these people are refusing donations of clothing, food, toys, personal necessities, etc., because they just want the money, I'm sure they'll stay put somewhere for two weeks.

Actually, I would just like them to sit where they are supposed to. sm
Since my kids and breastfeeding, they hang down to my bellybutton so to speak. I would just like them firmed ang tightened back up and sit on my chest where God put them and not hang so much. I even tried standing on my head for 5 minutes at a time 3x day - and that didn't help any!! LOL.

You are actually supposed to be doing that as an IC. SM
You almost must have a commercial line counter. I use Sylcount.
not supposed to put looking for job ads--sm
on the job seekers board...you are supposed to post your resume on the resume site. If you post looking for a job on the job board, they will remove it. just letting you know. That is for company's looking for employees, not employees looking for jobs.

We are supposed to either have our
e-mail open or be signed in to IM while we are working so we can be contacted quickly.  It's very helpful because we can see who is available if we have a question that perhaps another MT can answer or if we have an addendum somebody can pick up, that kind of thing. 
If you don't know that MTs are supposed
to be accurate 100% of the time, then why are you doing this to start with? None of us are 100% accurate, however, most companies expect a 98% accuracy rate, some even higher. Either you are not using a spellcheck/grammar check or just being careless.

Editors/QA only check reports that are sent in because of questions unless you are on 100% QA, or if they are assigned to do audits. They are not there to do your job for you.

I have not received letter.. Is this everyone or just employees or just IC ??? Specific info would be lovely
MQ supposed miscalculation
I worked for MQ yeeeears ago, when they were new, so let me assure you they have been caught before making "miscalculations" in their pay before. This was before the new platform, of course, and they had to send me a check for over $700.


All-around it is supposed to be more efficient...
I understand all that, and I am all for whatever is best for the patient, but I am just hoping I can "hang on" until retirement, which will be in another 15 years or so (unless the government ups that to like 80 or something now!).

Unfortunately, even AAMT seems 'off the mark' - a little too late, with their trying to get everyone certified, etc. All that expense to the MT, and then for what - you will still be without a job.

From now on, I am going to try to figure out some other type of career, which come on, at the age of nearly 50, I do not know how realistic this is.

I appreciate the information someone posted about getting help as a "displaced worker" when jobs are replaced by either foreign countries or technology. Somewhere there will have to be assistance for us. They claim over 400,000 MTs. If you are an 'above average' MT and are willing to change, perhaps 1/4 of that will be able to work for the next 15 years?

Philips is one of the leaders in technology and has outsourcing overseas for a long time...
sorry - this was supposed to go under "Freakin out"

You are supposed to place
your terms questions on proper board. This is per instructions of Moderator. They may remove your post if it is not categorized correctly.
Was this supposed to be someplace else?
I have been at JLG for a couple of months and I have found them to be honest to a tee. So why have you found them dishonest? Perhaps you might want to put this on the co board.
That was supposed to be NOT the poster.

Supposed to be scared?
I went to a dermatologist's office about a week ago. The PA saw me, guess physician on vacation. Lesion on face, was told possibly to have morphens and PA wanted to do biopsy. Have been MT for over 30 years but had never heard this diagnosis. When asked what it was, was told "possible connective tissue disorder," could be one of several things and not to look it up "because it would scare me." Then is when I was really scared, thinking malignancy, worst thing that came to mind. I went back this week for results of biopsy (not diagnostic of morphens) and told PA I did not look up as she did scare me. She then said that was what she and the physician "were supposed to do, scare the patients." I shook my head no, saying she was the first person in the medical field to have ever scared me. I had lots of lab work done to make sure this is not the diagnosis and go back next week for those but was given a hand out - if I had read this from the start would have thought did not fit most of the criteria listed and would have slept a lot better for the week. By the way, hope they don't give this to lay persons. Asked my husband to read a paragraph to see if he could comprehend it and he said absolutely not. Apparently morphens of the face supposedly sometimes related to scleroderma (which I did know) but mild form and this is the one I really love, when people die, usually die from something other than that. Know would not do any good to say something to physician about the "scare part" - would never be believed, my word against hers but after the lab work think that will be the last visit there.  
How are we supposed to post then because it

Boy - I second that. Problem is, it's supposed
to get hotter and more humid this weekend.  Have tons of work to do in the yard and don't see that happening anytime soon !!   
I am supposed to have an ultrasound

at the same time as the mammo.  The lady at the office said she also have to have mammos every 6 months for quite awhile, but hers finally went away on its own. Thanks for the info.


There is supposed to be a shortage
of American MTs I am reading in a large national information management magazine, and also according to our own gov. and our national association.  So why are wages falling if we are so desperately needed?  After 20 years, I am also seeking to get out.  I am at the height of my career in MT and find this is a losing profession.  They took a survey and were surprised in the article that wages have gone down.  They said a reason might because so many MTs work at home and so are part-time.  What a bunch of "you-know-what.!"  Wages are dropping because we do not get paid what we used to be paid.  I am making less now than 10 years ago.  I was recently offered an IC job for 7 CPL!   That was starting wages 15 years ago for FT.  Now they want to pay that for experienced and IC to boot, so you have higher percentage of taxes.  I have even seen 6 CPL.  These companies are trying to outbid each other by charging less and less, so they pay their MTs less and less.  They also must cover those big salaries and bonuses for the CEOs.
