They're probably Indian if you check into how to contact them. nm

Does background check include credit check?
You can also do a background check on companies
Check with the BBB and check with other agencies for reports against the company.
As an MTSO myself, I encourage that. It's always a good idea to check out what you're getting into. I have no problem with MTs sharing this information on a message board, either. I think it's a good thing. If an MTSO has a history of not paying employees, that is definitely something an MT needs to know in advance and if other MTs failed to report that to the BBB or other agencies, a message board may be the only place you can find that info.
However, when I work for someone, even if I have a problem with that company or person, I will keep my mouth shut until I quit. Once you no longer have a working relationship with them, then it's fair game. Until then, I prefer to zip my lip. I don't burn my bridges in case I would like a reference later and quitting always looks better on a resume than being let go. It's not a matter of loyalty, just good business sense. It will always be more beneficial to you, the MT, to keep your thoughts to yourself until you sever the working relationship.
The last 2 companies I worked for DD my check the
first pay period. There could possibly be a bank issue, but it isn't an across the board issue.
Most companies hold your first check
x
I would check back with the companies
and just ask them what you may or may not have done wrong so you know in the future. I have done that in the past and they are usually polite and helpful.
Well, you should have no reason to check if you're one of the MTs who gets good line counts.

A few dial-up companies inside. Check their
Accept dial up: First Choice, Spheris, Precyse only if 37K or faster, SoftScript, and possibly Transform....nm
They asked for a background check but most companies do, don't they?
They asked for $55 for my background check. I have tried to search, Google, ect, and I can't find anything about them except more job listings. Any advice at all for a struggling newbie?
"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

Still good companies in my opinion...was not on the list. Check them out for yourself OP
May not be lying.. *certain* companies never bothered to check their work.

Thanks -- I'll make a note of those 2 companies and check them out. sm
Unfortunately, I am reaching that ripe old age where I see a crown in my future 
Some companies don't give that first check until 4 or 6 weeks have passed. Ck your contract. nm

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
they're not listed on Manta.com

There are several companies you listed
that are not Indian companies. Several of them offshore, but they are U.S. companies.
Thank you. I will check into it.

Might Want to Check Them Out...
Actually, they are a recruiting firm that ARE recruiting for a large US based company...
Thank you! Will check them out too!

MQ check
Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???
I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?
Check out
other trx message boards in which they repeat the same negative comments about Transhealth and go into more detail about the situations they encountered.
Thanks, I might check them out. nm

Check out JLG nm
treat there mts well
You can check into
Verizon wireless. They have a PC card that you can use in your laptop. It will give your computer a signal and it will work like a cell phone. As long as you are in the Verison service area you can use the internet. I have a family member who is always on the go and loves it!
You bet they can - check this out.

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.
check your......
email for a private message that I left you.

Bytescribe web side. I think there is a free one somewhere too. Very easy to use and kind of fun.
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.

Go to bbfb.com (Best Buy for Business). They have XP available only on-line.
I bought mine the first of August. I even went to bbfb.com, found one that I liked and added it to my cart but did not buy one that day. A day or two later Best Buy e-mailed me asking me if I was still interested in buying a computer, and they offered me a 10% discount.

I found this while doing a Google search. It seems like her company name is fictitious.

I certainly would proceed with caution if I was anyone thinking of working there. Fictitious, not for me!! NO way, Jose!
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.....
no check
I too didn't quit when the first check bounced. They gave me the story that they were in the process of switching bank accounts. But then the second check bounced. Before that, my check kept getting later and later until finally I was lucky to receive my check within two weeks of payday, so I suspected something was going on for the last six months.

The archives, I mean. Alot of excellent people with good skills and success before and after Alltype were used and abused there. Just trying to give you a heads up without going negative. Watch your back and the best of luck to you.
kS check
Hello, I am expecting my 2nd check today from them! Last pay, which was my 1st, they did direct deposit it, but it didn't show til about noon on that day. The payroll dept. at KS were very nice to email out an attachment to me as to how much it was, etc. I am assuming this is their routine, because I didn't ask them to do it. Very nice, I thought. However, I never got a hard copy in the mail, so suppose if you want record, keep that, or print it out. Good luck, keep checkin the bank and your email. Happy KS-ing!!!!!

You might want to check out the company below. They were willing to hire me PT as an IC but I had to turned them down because I accepted another position. I believe they are located in Maine. Good luck.

tt pay check
I sent email to company Sat saying only 1 pay check was deposited. Monday morning there was a Fed Ex envelop on door with check from new company - I am a newbie too. This is my first pay check. So far the people have been terrific.
Check
I never had that problem with StatIQ. The check that they mail on the 15th is from work invoiced from the 16th through the end of the previous month. It is possible that you started there recently? If you sent an invoice on the 1st, that should be the check that gets mailed on the 15th. I just never had that problem when I worked there and thought maybe this could be what's going on.
BG check....sm
How extensive? Are we talking ciminal history or credit and the whole 9 yards?
MQ BG Check
I started working for the Q a little over a year ago. When I applied I authorized a BGC, but have no idea if they did one or not.
I agree about not liking it on face value. It seems to me in cases where an MT has many years of employment, once any co. verifies dates involved that should be good enough on the front end. But what do I know?
Companies can check on anyone by paying for the program, etc. It seems like it'd be standard for big companies (regardless of our opinions about it).
If you want to be mad any anyone, steer it in the direction of our government (both sides). Remember your last trip to the airport, where you (generic-looking American) got screened, while questionable people skated through? How about the stories about LOLs in wheelchairs and nuns getting patted down. It's all part of stripping away our freedoms, and both R&D are guilty. Heck, had I known/realized MQ was shipping work to India at the time, I would've kept looking. While I certainly don't like either, the India issue is far bigger to me.
thanks -- will check them out ... sm
I can do rigid scheduling and production for the 20 hours a week they require for part time ... hey, I might even be willing to work evenings for 20 hours a week ... hey, I'd be happy to transition to full-time after getting my feet wet ...
it's the 1200-1500 lines/8 hour shift requirements that I can have NO PROBLEM doing on a good day with familiar accounts and work available but which easily can stretch into 1200 lines/12 hours or more when work is unavailable or there are platform problems (why I left last employee status national gig) ...
Thanks for the tip ... . will check them out further!
