A bill you pay is different than getting paid.

In Reply to: if the paydate falls on Saturday - DNH
The benefit of the doubt is given in this instance. In this case, the pay date should have been the 5th since the actual pay date is the 7th, then the money should have been there on the 5th. This is a paycheck, not an authorized bill coming out of your account. The work was done, and the pay should have been there. My company always pays ahead of time if the pay date falls on a weekend day. It's a matter of courtesy.

If the bill is currently in limbo, why would they assign the same bill number to another bill?
I'm not trying to argue with you here and I think that outsourcing is a very important issue that needs to be addressed by congress. What I'm saying is make sure you have all the correct information.
company-paid phone bill?? sm
Crazy question, have high speed internet and AOL for my mail. I do not have unlimited long distance. Is there any company for whom you would not run up a huge phone charge, could not do that! Crazy question, I know - but doesn't hurt to ask.
paid by direct deposit on time, and you submit the bill nm

every wonder if they still bill the company cpl?

What company were you with that sent this $$$$ bill?

phone bill
Vonage is reasonable and offers a plan with unlimited long distance. I have had it for about 6 months and am happy with it. They also offer the option of paying yearly where you can save even more money.
Sure, and pass the bill on...
to who exactly? The consumer? The American people who are already being ripped off when it comes to healthcare? Some of you just want more and more and more, but you have no clue as to where this mystery money will come from.
You are right. Even Bill Gates dropped
the whole idea of VR, saying that it could not be perfected enough to be profitable for the software company who manufactures it. You are also right in that if something inferior is sold to someone and it doesn't work properly, they won't even think of using it again. In my experience, the C-phone worked the best and even WP5.1 for speed and from my point of view for making the most money. I also used to use Mac and found it to be very fast and efficient.
ICs should foot the bill, not employees.
Are these people employed at Keystrokes or are they contracted MTs paying for long distance and equipment? Ehhh? 
Do you have employees or do you have ICs? I see a difference there whether you are transcribing in an RV or an office, still the same should apply. If an MT is classified as an employee, the employer should provide equipment free of charge and pay any and all expense incurred while that person is employed. IC is a whole different ball of wax. 
You'd do better to bill by the audio minute; I'd bill $0.75 per minute of audio.

Can anyone tell me what a "standard MT" is. Bill Baker is SM
looking for them and since I live in the southeast too, I want to know what that is.
Here is a petition to sign for HR 427, a bill regarding
that very thing. Please forward it to everyone you know as well:

Re: The Calif. bill: The "Governator" shot it down. (no msg)

I didn't get the letter, just a $600 phone bill.
Their unlimited is only 5,000 minutes and you can use that is 2 weeks or less. You need to use a service like Vonage. Comcast and Time Warner cable also have digital phone service. It uses your regular phone wiring, they just attach something on the outside of your house and you use a modem and it is truly unlimited long distance.
If you want to keep your home phone it takes about 2 weeks to get the service. If you want to keep your home phone and just add a new line they should be able to do it in just a couple of days. I have mine through Time Warner and it is $34.95/mo because I also have my cable internt through them. Vonage is cheaper, I think $24.95/mo.
I've only had my service about 3 weeks, but the sound is very good and I've had no problems using it wtih my C-phone. I wanted to keep my same number, but didn't want to add another phone line to keep costs down. I have call waiting but can't get it to work with the C-phone so I got voice mail for an additional $4/mo so I can still get messages even if I'm working.
Mark bill and envelope "CONFIDENTIAL,"
address to doctor personally with a handwritten note attached to your bill stating, Will you please have someone take care of this? This happened to me. The office manager was embezzling funds which he knew nothing about it until I brought my bill to his attention. My bill has been paid immediately in the 15+ years since then. Good luck.
ask your senators and representatives to support this bill
One thing you can do is contact your senators and representatives and encourage them to vote for the following bill:
S. 810/H.R. 1653
Clinton (D-NY)/Markey (D-MA)
Prohibits American businesses and health care organizations from sharing consumers’ personal information with foreign affiliates or subcontractors without consent from consumers. Allows consumers to “opt out” of having their personal information processed overseas and bars companies from denying service or charging consumers more as a result.
Go to http://www.congress.org for a very user-friendly way to identify and contact your elected officials on the State and Federal Levels.
No, but one place would do it after we sent a copy of the bill with our invoice, or mailed it

Big facilities contract out MT through administration. Drs have no say, they dont pay the bill.
:+
Wow .. thanks for letting me know. They bill themselves as a small, caring company. sm
The pay isn't much, but I was just going to use it to supplement my income while work is light at my regular job. So much for caring ... who needs their pitifully low offerings anyway? Bah humbug ... LOL
I can handle micromanage and cherries, but its the bill collectors I want to stay away
You see, to me it is more than worrying about micromanaging and cherry picking. I have been in the biz long enough to develop a rough skin. It is when I do not have enough money to pay the rent or car which bothers me. So, I take the shift least wanted b/c there will be work there, I allow micromanaging and say I will do better next time, and I learn all the toughest ESLs without complaint. You see, no one can control another person, and one should know no job is perfect out there. The only thing a person can and should do is mature-up, quit whining, and get to work so the roof stays overhead, the pantry has milk and bread and the car is still outside. Of course, that is my 2.5 cents.
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.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. 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.
You bill 30 days behind, and they snail mail it so it's late - about 40 days from invoice
No way jose - they even messed up their direct deposit payments
I meant billing process, not bill paying process.. sorry! nm
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.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. 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.
Getting paid
You're absolutely right. Since it is part of our jobs, that means we should be paid for it. I'm in total agreement, we are ending up providing a lot of "freebies" MTSOs need to be aware that transcription involves more than just typing lines; there is "research", and the research part, which is actually bigger than the typing part, is not being compensated AT ALL. And GOOD MTSOs and GOOD MTs recognize that. BAD MTSOs and MTs that are truly "lucky" to be employed don't get it. Frustrating, isn't it?
it did say that we get paid if
DEP goes down (at a reduced rate of course to be found on Qnet or some such place). But no mention of what happens when we RUN OUT OF WORK which will be a daily occurrence when everyone starts sitting 39 hours or 24 hours and holidays. You could at least count on work the week after a holiday, not so anymore I guess.
you get paid for
stuff going wrong with DEP platform and you have to go on Qnet to find out the specifics. This packet doesn't address running out of work, if I am wrong someone please come on to correct me.
Not being paid
Wow!!! I was not paid my last paycheck too! I was assured that this NEVER happens and they were very sorry, etc. When I asked where my paycheck was - their response was what pay are you expecting? I did get may pay, and since then I have not had a problem... but now reading what you said about MTs not getting paid on other boards that makes me very nervous - family to feed, mortgage to pay, on and on and on.
Do you mean not paid at all?

Getting paid
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and very happy I heard about you. I work for a company who has a big problem paying on time as well as the correct amt. The initials are BT (maybe the same B listed in a previous posting). They advertised for a $1500 sign on bonus, but I cannot get anyone to return my Emails or phone calls regarding this. They also advertise 24/7 Tech and management support, that's a joke. The manager has never even been an MT. If you want to discuss things with this manager, they blow you off. But the company advertises that they care about their MTs. Obviously, I'm looking elswhere, but cannot believe this continues to go on with these companies and nothing is done. When I find something else, I will write to MT Daily and tell them what happened. They are a reputable website and I do not think they would appreciate all the false advertising this company is doing. Any suggestions and/or advice is welcome.
Really? They paid me 9 cpl (sm)
this past September, but it was still impossible to make any money given the horrendously bad platform, IMO.
They paid 9 cpl (sm)
to my friend, but it was a horrible place to work: NO communication whatsoever (she was without work for 1-1/2 weeks, unable to contact anybody via email or phone), had to work on clunky DOS program via the hospital with laggy web server, so unable to do more than 100 lph, and they paid with paper checks, often late. Couldn't understand how she could be considered an IC with the company calling all the shots like that (ICs use their equipment, programs, not the hospital's), so I told her to file the forms with the IRS and Dept of Labor to get the situation reviewed; don't know if she ever did.
I get paid...
3200/mo (hourly/incentive) as a remote hospital employee on 1 job. Approximately 2800/mo (production) on another job.
Dang, doesn't look like any of us sleep.
How much are you getting paid per cpl?
That seems like an awful lot of money to be making unless you're getting a high rate. Most offers I see are avg .07-8. Highest I've seen is .10. What companies pay high rates? I'd really be interested. My company went out of business. I was making .13 cpl, but at 80 characters w/o spaces, which is still higher than .075 for 65 characters with spaces. I just accepted a position at that rate and am concerned about my income. I was earning about $25 an hour, which will now be cut 20% at this new rate plan. I only have 2 years experience with medical transcribing, but have been a typist for many, many years.
Any direction would be appreciated.
I'm not a CMT, but I get paid as if I was. nm
