How can a backup computer be used with Spheris? You work on sm
theirs only.
I was with Spheris back when it was Edix...

I was with Edix about a year before I was audited and had pay deducted, and then two more times in a row after that.  Needless to say, after several anxiety attacks over my pay check, I quit.  I dont know if they still audit, but that whole process is questionable.  At least when they audit, they should call up the MT, go over it WITH them, so its not such a big shocker when they receive the report back with a bunch of red markings.  I actually broke down and cried.


Another thing is we changed management around that time, and my new supervisor called me to inform me I was two hours late and why hadn't I started work yet?  I reminded her of our two hour difference in time zones, and told her I was just getting ready to work. 


With Medquist, no one picks at me, BUT no one gives me info when I need it.  I make about 800 dollars more a month at MQ and I don't have a panic attack when I send a report out in cyber space, maybe forgetting if I dotted an "I" correctly or not. 


MQ the lesser of the two evils for sure.  Although I'm not with Spheris now and do not know if they still audit.  All I know is it was an awful experience, more comfortable at MQ.


How do you set your computer back 1 day. I messed something up and need to go back 1 day.

Keep contact at a minimum. Self doubt hits and it is when we tend to fall back into the web
Good luck to you. Expect highs and lows. Best to get professional counseling so they remind you of who you are and where you want to be when he tries to convince you that you are crazy.


Spheris made it public months back that they were going to try and buy them.
They said it in a news release and they were serious. It is my guess that this is a true rumor and if it is then you can expect it to come to a head in about 2-3 weeks. Just be watching
i sent my chapstick back with show me the money on it. i'm now working for spheris.
oh well he has one more chapstick floating around to recycle next MT appreciation day.
Take the computer back and buy a used one - sm
that was the same as your old one, then you won't have these problems, and the computer will be cheap to boot.
How you you all back-up your computer files? sm
I am getting a new computer and want to transfer all my files over, but I've never done this and have no clue how to do it!  Also, I work on Escription and ExText so is it possible to transfer these files over as well?
Help! I forgot how to set my computer back 4-5 days. Anybody help?

The yellow cable plugs into the back of your computer and (sm)
the other end into the modem. If only one computer is being hooked up, plug it into the slot labeled E1, otherwise you may experience an occasional error message of: "network connection has become unplugged." I hear your frustration regarding ESL "help" technicians -- Vonage is full of them!
computer chair for lower back support
Can anyone out there help quicken my shopping for a new chair? My lower back is out for the first time in years and I need to seriously shop for a good supportive chair. Anyone who has discovered one, please write back with the scoop - I will appreciate it!
Foot pedal connects to the back of the computer, not outlet
needed. 
Stick a note on the computer screen...Back in 2 weeks. :-) nm

Brings back memories! I had a computer fan that sounded like a mini helicopter! Kept
calling my company and having them "listen".  They weren't concerned. It did actually blow up one day - a little mini "poof" of fire, 2 seconds of light smelly smoke, and she was dead!!  A goner!  Never heard it before, never heard it after, but one did make noise and it died a month later!
I would contact the bank, stop the auto debits, contact the lender...
Contact the lender, explain that you stopped the payment because of financial difficulty. Ask if they have a hardship plan. You probably have a 20-day grace period on your loan payment, (they report to credit bureaus when 30 days late) and you probably also have a grace period on your insurance. In the meantime within those 20 days of grace, FIND A WAY to make some cash. It seems, at least from my experience, that when you get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you use next month's check to pay last month's bills, you never get out of the hole. I've been in that downward spiral and I understand what you're going through. I've sold things on Ebay, consigned clothing at consignment stores, and worked two jobs just to stay afloat at times. Every little bit helps. It can be done. But don't WAIT, call them today!!
You mentioned the IRS. Try calling the Taxpayer Advocate's Service toll free at 1-877-777-4778. They are independent from the IRS and their function is to help solve IRS problems that cannot be solved through normal channels.

MQ direct deposit
On Friday if payday on Saturday.  On Monday if pay day Sunday.  .
MQ direct deposit
As a rule, when the pay date is on Sunday I usually have my deposit in the account on Saturday a.m. The last pay date I think fell on a Saturday and that was deposited on Friday a.m.
They don't do direct deposit for IC's.
Nobody at SS answered my e-mails.
Direct Deposit
Independent contractors cannot receive direct deposit typically as a standard course of events, I am told, because that would be treating them like an employee, and not appropriate for the IRS and accounting purposes.
Direct deposit
I would love direct deposit!  I have worked for many services as an IC and most offer it but currently do not have it.  I miss it so much!
no direct deposit either...this is what I do...
I'm an IC for 2 companies that don't provide direct deposit and I just found that waiting on snail mail to bring my check was too undependable.  I now have my checks sent overnight.  Sure I have to pay for the charge of it but it is worth knowing when my money will be here.  Most companies will do this if you ask them to and they just deduct it from your pay.  I don't know your situation but I am able to use this expense on my taxes each year, so I definite feel that it is worth it.
Direct deposit - do you have it?

At my present job, I do not have direct deposit.  I really miss it.  It's frustrating me.  A small thing, yet irritating! 


 


Do you have DD?


Direct Deposit
I also have direct deposit. I get paid every other Thursday, and by Thursday morning my check is in my account. That's just my experience. Maybe you should call the company and see if there's a problem. Has it ever been late before?
If you get direct deposit set up
(if your company offers it), then you won't have to wait for snail mail. But no company is going to predict what day your check is going to hit your mailbox. Pay day is the day checks are cut and sent out.


No direct deposit, huh?

direct deposit??
I have never done this kind of work before and signed up to work with a lady from qmedet solutions.  She wants my bank account number to direct deposit my check.  I am leary of doing this because she didn't check references or want to see a resume.  We emailed back and forth, she called me to explain the job and then requested my personal information.  Is this the way everyone works?
direct deposit??
I have never done this before and wanted to know if this sounds legit.  I placed my job information on a site for MTs.  I received an email from a lady who works for qmedet solutions saying that she wanted to hire me.  We emailed back and forth about whether I was interested and then she called me to discuss the job.  She then emailed me forms to fill out my personal information including my bank account number for direct deposit.  I just want to make sure that this is normal because she didn't get any personal references from me nor did she request any kind of resume.
MQ direct deposit on Friday, is NOT
correct! Is paid on the 10th and 25th, if those dys fall on a Sat/Sun, then your check does not go in until the following Monday...how it is & how it's always been.

As other's advised, check the 2005 payroll schedule, maybe print it out for your referrences?
Heartland requries no fee no deposit..nm

About offering direct deposit.
Klaar is getting ready to offer direct deposit (again). Oh boy, gotta wonder if they formerly offered it, then canceled it, and are ready to offer it again (soon).
Did you know that not everyone can get direct deposit for their businesses? sm
There are a lot of factors, and banks will not take on a small company. They want to provide services for bigger companies that have a lot of money going through their accounts.

I deal with one of the biggest banks in the country and they will not let me do direct deposit until we deposit over $100,000 per month or it is not worth it for them.

The smaller banks in my area do not even offer it.

All I can do is get checks out on time and correctly.
EVERY MTSO CAN get direct deposit
There are many payroll management companies that offer this service for a small fee. Do a Google search for ADP, Paychex, Gorrie Reagan.....THere are several.

Even if you cannot get it done via your bank, there are many other ways it can be done. Having to wait on a paycheck to come in the mail is very difficult for most of us. I also spend $50 a month to have my check overnighted. I am currently looking to move to a company who DOES offer direct deposit.
Used to be by check, now direct deposit.

Love my direct deposit. nm

I wouldn't know what to do without direct deposit...
The money is always there when it's supposed to be and if you want to go on vacation or something you don't have to worry about getting your paycheck and going to the bank. I have never had a problem with DD and I have been using it for 12+ years.
Love direct deposit, too! sm
I've had it for the last 10 years, everywhere I have worked. Never a problem. I'm more leery of getting checks in the mail now, since some of my mail comes opened, like my check stub today. I do most of my banking and bill paying online now. I feel safer with that than the mail anymore.  Hubby used to have direct deposit at his old job but not at this job. With direct deposit, it's usually posted when I get up in the morning. I have to wait to go to the bank when he gets home from work around 4:30.  What a pain. 
Question about direct deposit
I have direct deposit with my company.  We get paid the 15th and 30th.  Today is the 21st and I still don't have a deposit.  I thought the money goes in quicker with direct deposit.  Before I complain, just wondered if this was normal. 
For anyone who has ever done direct deposit, why does it sometimes come right away in the morning an
odd but I have never done DD so dont really understand how it is routed through the fed and the bank. 
Nope. I had direct deposit and
It was in the bank 2-3 days before actual payday. I worked for them almost a year. BTW, Nuance (American company) bought them out over a year ago.
What does Indymac have to do with your MT direct deposit? sm
Sounds more like they want to hold on to their money a few extra days.
In my state, you can attempt to deposit the
try that, so if it bounces 3 x, she have 3 bounced check fees to pay, rather than 1. HAHAHA
In future, require a deposit sm
equal to the cost to replace the equipment and put in a contract that the deposit will be returned within 2 weeks of receiving equipment in good condition.  Anyone who truly intends on returning the equipment will have no problem paying a deposit, especially when the terms are in writing.
in your bank account by direct deposit OR

just showing up in ipay?  Mine says assistance with verification available at ________ . . . . THIS IS NOT A CHECK -- void non-negotiable.


Is the money in your bank today 09/02/2005?


I'm going to deposit mine. However, I make this suggestion...sm
to those who are worried this may preclude you for further settlement money. Above your signature on the back of the check, or even below your signature, write something in to the effect "This is NOT to represent final disposition of future settlement" or something to that effect. That way, there is legal documentation that you are not signing away any future rights to anything you might be owed in case of a larger settlement.
Time to sign up for direct deposit.

Only way to go.  My mail"girl" delivers usually at 11:30 a.m., but on her days off I don't get the mail sometimes until after the bank is closed.


If your company doesn't offer direct deposit, the I guess the only thing you can do is sit and wait for the mail.  Frustrating, isn't it?


MTSOs who DO NOT offer direct deposit
MTSOs who do not offer direct deposit...please consider contacting a company like ADP or Paychex or your bank in order to find out that offering such a service is not very expensive. I was offered a job by a company in MA and did not accept it when I found out they did not offer direct deposit.

Many MTs are struggling financially. This would be a tremendous help (direct deposit) and also make your company more appealing to potential employees/ICs.
No true. ICs can have direct deposit but it is called
an ACH transfer. Same thing. Kind of like when you pay a bill on line from your bank.

We have both ICs and employees, and we cleared this with our lawyer and the IRS.
LOL! You forgot direct deposit info. ;-) nm

most companies are using direct deposit now I thought. (nm)

Will the MT company paying my depositing into this bank debit check card account be able to access my checking account and take money out of my checking account?
