contact phone service
Many times it is just pushing a code on your phone - inside cover of phone book. Once they get the complaint from the phone company they should stop - otherwise the cops come knocking - bet they stop then. Just document your contact with them. No further contact by you needs to be done - just keep pushing the code - the more complaints the faster they have the fines levied and possible legal problems.

Just like getting harassing calls from regular Joes - put in a complaint and push he codes - one you tell them to stop if they keep doing it, it is harassment.
Can anyone from the Ohio MQ office give me a contact person and a phone number to call so I can talk
to someone there without getting a lot of other people involved before I find out what kind of accounts they have to offer. I am interested in transferring from my current office but would like to speak with someone up there first. Even an email address of someone would help.
Send them to the Q... the big wigs are all thiefs! NM

When I was first with TT (no longer) my 1st 3 checks were FedX'd on

NOT being paid to pickup tapes and getting ONLY 6 cpl IS mistreatment if sm

you are worth your salt at all!!!!


I worked for a small local MTSO when I was first an MT.  They agreed to pay me 6.5 cpl in WP5.1 for DOS.  I was paid every 2 weeks and got paid about $900 to $1100 every 2 weeks, which was fine.  I didn't have to pick up tapes either.


When a couple of us asked for a raise, we were told no, not on your life.  We don't charge the clients that much, and our call in system needs to be replaced, and and and.  Okay sure and I can understand these things.


The company had 2 partners.  Partner A was nasty to me because she was nasty to everyone.  My kids and I are at home eating jelly sandwiches for supper for the second week straight because my bills were so high, no support checks and I could not get a raise, but we were not starving exactly.  Meanwhile, the nasty partner tells me she won't be able to talk to me because she is meeting her contractor at 7 a.m. and I need to call in for work after 10 a.m.  They spent, she told me, $40,000 to redo the upper level of their home, put in 2 more bathrooms, extend the floor space and add another bedroom to total 3.  Oh she says, we could never have done it if I didn't own my own company and make so much money.  SLAP IN THE FACE.


Partner B that same year sold her house and moved to a place she could have horses.  That year, no raise and thumping us all about how much we SHOULD be doing.  The year after she bought that house, she bought a 6-horse air conditioned trailer, a Suburban to pull it, built a barn to hold 8 horses and bought two colts and a draft horse.  She also said, they could never have had this if she didn't own her own company and make so much money.  SLAP IN THE FACE AGAIN!


I cried in front of my kids and I just won't do that, but darn it they had not had new shoes and had been moved into $2 flip flops for the summer in late April because I could not buy them any new ones and the others were too small.  We had been rounding out the food by going to a food bank when they would let us and I had sold off everything I dared to.  These gals didn't type a line the entire time I worked there.  They were too busy but apparently not too busy to spend the money we earned FOR THEM and not ourselves.  My house payment was $1200, more than half my income and they got to have horses and trailers and cook out with ribeyes (trust me on that, I saw them do it). 


Yup, mistreatment and I think this gal probably has a similar story to tell you.


I charge .12cpl, I pickup and deliver. Wisconsin. nm

I don't know what your home situation is, but can you pickup a part time job to pad your paycheck
If you really want to stay with this company maybe that is what you could do. I hate to say it, but I think we will lose some of our employees during this work lull and that will create more work. Not a nice way to get more lines in, but facts are facts.

Good luck to you and us all.
IC, they have to ask and not demand
nm
then demand a union instead
otherwise shut up.
Yep, we still are IN DEMAND, in spite of it all! nm

yep demand letter already sent
and will probably end up there but I don't care as I deserve to be paid for my services. And the entire way this person handled this entire matter was so immature. Wish I could copy and paste some of the e-mails that went back and forth. Very childish and immature!!
Demand for payment
Send her a demand for payment letter with 10 days to pay you. Send it certified with return receipt. State that further action will be taken if payment is not received by you in 10 days, and add that interest will begin to accrue on the balance. In the meantime, see if you can find other MTs who are owed money by this same person. If it's only you, they know you won't take the trouble to travel to their state to file in small claims court. If you have several people, you can file a class action suit in federal court. That's what worked for me a few years ago with a company in California.
Supply and Demand?
I would wonder if it's not more an issue of most MTs wanting to use their on computers. My Mom, sister, and I all are transcriptionists and there's no way we'd work on anyone else's computer. First, I've got to have my laptop. I don't want a big, clunky desktop taking up space in my house. We already have 4 other laptops anyway (we homeschool). There isn't any room for anything else. Also, I've got to be able to work anywhere I happen to be. I have a strict 8-hour shift but that doesn't mean I have to be home to work. I'd be too nervous traveling as much as I do with someone else's equipment.
Supply and demand
This is what drives wages more than anything ,and because of offshoring and VR, demand is down. Don't know about supply, but the schools keep cranking out MTs, so it's probably pretty steady. As long as MTSOs have a large pool of MTs to choose from, downward pressure on wages will continue. Has nothing to do with what we think we are worth. Companies will only pay what they have to pay. This is true in every industry.
as mentioned, not a big demand for it whatsoever - sm
because of the fact that it can be outsourced. However, there are hospitals in very very remote areas that do not want to or cannot outsource, usually a very small hospital with outdated equipment, etc., - those were the travel assignments.
meant to say the way U DEMAND 2 b treated..NM

I would send a demand for payment
that you have that as proof.  Give them x amount of days to pay up or you will take further legal action.  Also make note in the letter of the disconnected telephone number.  Then you'd need to file a complaint for the money due. 
Keyword is "employee." Employer can demand any
x
Yes, but that's a good thing. They demand quality.
Of all the nationals and bigger MTSOs, MQ is about the only one who never does quality checking.  But in the end, that's not a good thing.  Its best to learn to stay on our toes and keep our quality up. Don't worry - you're worried about it, so that's a sign you are a great MT. Others don't care.
Send a Demand Letter Certified

with your invoices.  Tell her she has 10 days to pay or you will pursue legal action.


You might also consider taking her to Judge Judy.  They are looking for new & interesting cases, but first of all you have to send out your demand.  Contact the show's website & submit your case.  JJ is an arbitrator though and you will get paid from the proceeds of the show - so the woman that owes you money doesn't really get punished per se, but does get a good dose of public humiliation on nationwide TV!   That way you let other MTs know what a rotten business woman she is.


The show pays your airfare/hotel too.  My daughter took a girl who assaulted her to JJ and she won 5K!  That's why I'm posting anon - can't really discuss specifics until after show airs.


Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

Usuall plenty of work - demand a secondary or tertiary acct. nm

C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.

If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.


And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert.  Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling.  :-)



Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)


 


 


I was IC w/them and checks came on time. First checks were FedX'd to me on time! I left due to an

Contact RBJ
directory, go to World Wide News, but keep trying.   You may have a good fit, and company may or may not shut down, but plz remember her clients are reading this as well.  Will the client base be there in a month???
Thanks! Please contact me at:

octobermt@yahoo.com with info.


Thank you.


If you can get anyone to contact you and
actually hire you and then follow through after that it probably is a good company. I was hired last year but never heard back from anyone and when I would call nobody had an answer for me.
I'm not sure, but I would contact them again as
when I applied, I heard back in less than 24 hours.
UST...no contact
I have tested with them, sent my resume about 5 times, still won't call me back to say yeah or nay, what does it take? Just shoot out an e-mail either way, I hate companies who never give the courtesy of a reply at all.
You may want to contact them, some of us have
been working constant OT...can't imaging you being out of work....
I would contact them at....
www.medwaremt.com for that information as there are too many variables. Good luck!
Anyone know how to contact ELL, TX? sm

They had a post on Job Seeker's board a couple of weeks ago.  Sent a resume but no response. Are they legitimate? Can't come up with anything on Google search or searching this board. Thanks


I would definitely contact them.
and you have bills to pay.
Same here. I would contact them again as
you won't be sorry. I have been a MT for 30+ years and have never, ever worked for a better more appreciative company. I am going to be with MDI till they have to pry my hands from the keyboard! Keep trying!!
Again, have you tried contact TT regarding
your situation? As far as facts...account signifies one.
No contact !

 


I would love to contact my docs just to let them know what is going on. Not for payment from them, that is not the point. Just to give them a heads up.


Are you suing over a bounced check or nonpayment?  Can anything legal be done for nonpayment? Was there ever a contract signed by you about their pay schedule? Like, you will be paid every two weeks. I have a calender of pay dates is all I have ever had. Cannot remember signing a pay schedule contract.


contact
Yes she contacted me last night and offered me 5cpl with 8 years experience.
Do you have a ph# or a contact name?
nm
You can contact
the Better Business Bureau for starters to report their business practices.  They may intervene.  They may also direct you elsewhere for help. 
when you contact SM
the medical facilities, are you calling them, or sending them a standard letter, or email...

What has the response been so far?
Please contact me
I need a PT job ASAP. Is your company hiring PT? al_transcription@yahoo.com
who to contact
You can contact me at cissy.g@mediscribes.com. I am a TL/Team lead and QA for Cardioscribes. I am in touch daily with my team so I doubt you are on my account but if you contact me I can certainly put you in touch with your account team lead and QA and make sure they have your info as well.
Contact them again.
It's doubtful that Susan was the person actually posting the job ad (though possible, I guess). In my experience, everyone at T-C is very open and very, very friendly. If you're concerned, contact them again with your problem. As we all know, MTs come and go so quickly that things like resumes and tests can be easily overlooked, especially if the company is having a bit of a hiring spree. Not that it's an excuse to ignore your test results and not get back with you, but it does happen.
Where to contact them
I receive information through MTjobs.com newsletter and I believe it was in there. They do have a website for MDI and you can go there and apply for a job, or find out information.
If they don't contact you....sm
you won't be missing out on much.....find better, there are better companies out there.  FutureNet handles overflow only, they always have. 
contact
Click on the link that says Contact Us at the top of the main page. Click on Contact Us again on the next page and an email box should pop up. There is no testing, it's just based on your resume and a phone interview, but I'm pretty sure they aren't hiring right now.
No Contact!
Don't feel bad!  I applied to P.R.N. as well several days ago and have not heard a word!  I specifically applied because I have many years experience in Hem/Onc and I have heard nothing.  But I have had this happen several times in the past few weeks with other ads as well.  I have no idea what these companies are looking for and why they will not reply at all after placing an ad for help.  Very rude to say the least! 
I need an email/contact of someone..sm

Does anyone know the email address of an Edna Palmer with Cymed, Virginia?  I can't get my emails or calls returned, thanks.  I left my email address if you know this and want to email me privately.  TIA!!!
