It doesn't matter the mindset, what matters is the pay never came in the mail, and I'm not the OP.

If you don't agree, then don't report the company but why undermind the fact that the OP didn't get paid. 

Do you like to work for free?  If you do, then go work for them.

As far as being tied to the computer, a lof of these MTSOs are requiring set schedules and if no work, then make it up, and as an IC at that.  Do you think that is fair?  

Please read my prior posts, and lots of other MT's posts about this husband and wife team that are scamming MTs out of their hard-earned money.  If you are considering working for Toth, DON'T.  If you already to, GET OUT NOW.  There is a large number of MTs that have been waiting months, and some even years for the money that is owed to them. 

I am in the process now of taking e-mails and putting the MTs in contact with each other that have been scammed and are trying desperatelyl to get what is owed to them.  The Toths have been taken to court once that I know of, but from what I understand, the husband does a "poor me" routine, files bankruptcy, and gets off the hook.  This has been going on for some time now, and they have to be put out of business, and maybe even behind bars.  Legal costs will likely exceed what is owed to the MTs, but the Toths are counting on this as a scare tactic to prevent anymore law suits. 

Feel free to e-mail me if you prefer not to answer posts on this forum.

If you are going to fight for what is owed you, make sure you save any and all e-mail correspondence, that is if you ever hear from the Toths again.  Any proof you have, whether it be e-mails, documents, even phone messages, save everything. 

If you're not going to fight for your own rights, please warn any MTs that you know who have been put through the wringer by these people. 

I'll keep posting to make sure enough MTs are aware of the consequences of working, for these people.  The reality is, you are working for nothing. 

Further, don't count on them to give you a good job reference.  They absolutely will not pay you, so you'll complain and ask where your paycheck is, but you'll never be able to tell that to an actual person, as you'll have no choice but to leave it on their voice mail, or in an e-mail, both of which they will ignore and then erase.  One thing is for sure, if you are not being paid, they are not paying taxes.

Most of you have read the negative comments regarding Toth Transcription in Wexford, PA.  Beware...they have now changed their name to AP Medical, Inc.  When you call up their company on google, it jumps to the AP Medical website.  Just wonder how they can keep operating.

MTStars Team

It has been a week or so since anybody has posted anything, questions or otherwise, about Toth Transcription.  I wanted to get the message out there to anybody considering even contacting this husband and wife team, DO NOT CONTACT THEM.  If you do, you are entering at your own risk.  If you do, you better "scour" over the contract.  I am genuinely concerned and feel extremly bad for anybody that has or will fall prey to Toth Transcription. 

FACTS:  These people don't pay their MTs.  They will charge you about $100 to get set up on their system.  If they want to load PC Anwywhere or similar program on your computer, DON'T TAKE THE JOB.  You will have to constantly TRY to contact them whether it be by phone or e-mail just to get your paycheck.  Their excuses are "it must have gotten lost in the mail", "I mailed it yesterday, or I mailed it 2 days ago so you should get it any day now".  If you threaten to not turn in your work until you get paid, the husband will rip you a new %!# over the phone, and send threatening e-mails.  But, whether or not you turn in your work, you still won't get paid.  He tries his darndest to intimidate people.  I have known these people for a long time, and probably longer than most of you.  There is no communication between the husband and wife, and there will be none between them and you.

The husband files bankruptcy and uses it as an excuse not to pay his people.  He will only pay 5 cpl.  It is insane that they actually expect somebody to work for this amount of money, but then they won't pay you anyway. 

I can't stress enough that you are just asking for trouble if you go to work for them.  I have posted other messages, but have only gotten 2 reponses in my e-mail. 

Some posters said that their lawyers told them it would be a waste of time to sue them, as the legal fees would outweigh what Toth owes you.  The Toths know this, so that is why they don't care. I would pursue lawsuits anyway, just for the satisfaction of getting this so-called business shut down and preventing them from hurting other people.  They take advantage of anyone, especially newbies who are just trying to get their foot in the door. 

The husband cannot hold down a job of his own.  This is why he took control of what used to be his wife's business.  They live high on the hog, but they barely make their bills.  You are paying their bills for them.

NEWBIES: There are legitimate companies out there that hire newbies.  You have to look hard, but don't jump in with both feet without doing your research.  

If anybody has any questions about this, just post here.  I do check through the day.  If you do pursue any type of legal action, try to get as many people together as possible to do the same.  If you would rather e-mail me, just go to kahluasfight@yahoo.com. 

You will be verbally abused, e-mail or otherwise, by the husband.  

One of the MTs who was scammed by Toth Transcription went to her attorney this week.  PLEASE READ

Hello, I talked to my attorney, he said where there is smoke there is fire.  WE ALL need to file complaints with the attorney general in each of our states as well in PA, also the department of labor and wages.  WE ALL need to do this.  There are a few loop holes in the contract,  The attoney general will help us, it will just take time, but if will go faster if EVERYONE files complaints. SO PLEASE pass this information along when you post, that it is imperative that we all file complaints, it can be done all online and when they contact us to fill out the information, do so quickly and we can win this. even though it has been alot of years for you, you to need to file a complaint, that will help us.  Thanks alot!!!

I know that the husband is verbally abusive to a lot of the MTs.  He does this because he knows how threatening he sounds. He does this because he knows he gets away with it, and he doesn't believe that any of us will actually do something about it.  

Don't be willing to let him get away with this any longer.  He only knows how to make you work, work, work, and keep your money rather than pay you.  He thinks he has it nailed down to a science, but as it is mentioned in the above paragraph, there are loopholes in his contract that he makes you sign. 

Please, if you work for them now or if you know somebody who does, or you used to work for them and they owe you money, don't waste time - e-mail me at *****.  We need to get as many MTs as possible that were unfairly treated by this husband and wife business.  They need to pay.  You need your money that you worked so hard for.  Our goal is to get them shut down.  So let's do it.

I understand where MTadvocate is coming from.  If you don't keep this information up for everyone to see, then some unsuspecting soul will go to work for Jayne Mattingly (TSI, Transcription Management Systems - whoever she decides to call herself this year), type her heart out and not receive her check.  It's sad that these losers would take advantage of hard workers at a time when the economy is sinking and we all struggle to feed our families.  Instead of paying the attorney 100+ bucks an hour, how about sending us the checks we EARNED.  Seriously, how DO they SLEEP at night??????

I would start looking.  I know you reach a comfort level where you are, but TRUST ME, there are reputable companies out there (I work for one) and believe me, you are better off leaving now, before things crash down on you just when you start feeling comfortable again.  Good MT's can still find work in this country, and they are paid in dollars, not rupees.

you e-mail the account name or some specific hint so I if apply I can be forewarned?  Thanks.

I am sick and tired of taking these so-called top notch transcription tests with the most difficult grammar questions, BOS-style like questions, abbreviations, what is a plural,etc, and only having an hour to complete the test.  I just recently jumped through hoops for a compnay I shall not name.   The VP told me I had exactly one hour to complete the all most impossible task.   Well, I passed her fricking test.  Then, she told me to gear up I had exactly until the end of the day to complete her 4 wave files.  I completed them.  After all this, she had the nerve to offer me a full-time IC position at 7 cpl.  The wave files I heard require more than 7 cpl and why on god's green earth would I take an IC job doing acute care for 7cpl, I would be losing money.  Then, she had the nerve to set a schedule for me Monday-Friday starting from 9 am to 5 pm.  No thank you.  I will keep right on looking.  I do not need this stress.  I am going in-house.  I simply outdone. 

Thanks for letting me vent.

all the drama you had to deal with at Focus.  I had a bad feeling things were going south at JLG right before I quit back in July.  I can't believe they didn't even offer you MT positions!  Well, my opinion is they are going under and they probably didn't have anything to offer you.  When I quit, I sent out an resignation email and never got a response.  So I just quit working and started my new job earlier and nobody said a word.  I thought that was a bad sign.

I was having trouble getting my pay checks when I quit and then right after I quit they sent out the email about not using direct deposit anymore and then I kept reading about all these poor people who were late getting their checks.  It just didn't look, sound or smell good at all.

Man, it just goes to show you there isn't a reliable company out there anymore.  Used to be when I first started working from home JLG was one of the most reliable companies around with a good reputation.

Well, good luck gals!  Drop me an email sometime.  It's still the same and use me as a personal reference if you need to.  I have nothing but good things to say about all y'all!

Hey, lighten up!

In the old days -- 20 or so years ago, or maybe as recently as 10 years ago -- those terms were possessive with the apostrophe and the s.  It wasn't until recently that the definitive references like Stedman's (or should that be Stedman?) decided to drop it. If you read medical literature, you will see that in most instances the apostrophe s is still used.  So it has changed, and a lot of oldtimers (and M.D.s too) still put the apostrophe s at the end.

I prefer the apostrophe s as most docs dictate it that way and that was the way that I was trained to do it many, many moons ago.

on Oracle. Guess I don't know about the platform since I saw some not so favorable reviews on using it and being productive, am trying to figure out what exactly I really need to get started purchasing and I don't think at this point a C-phone would be one I would be willing to purchase. Thanks for the info!!

Anyone out there on JLG and their platform? Thanks!
