In Reply to: When is the next actual payday for TT? - new TT'er
Payday is 9/3 (but believe that is the holiday so not sure how that works). Pay is every other week on Mondays, so the following PP will be paid on 9/17. PPs run Mon-Sun. HTH

Sent it Sunday (by fax) then (sm)
immediately got e-mail asking to fill out questionnaire, did that on Sunday too..then haven't heard, am I just not patient enough? Thanks! I really want to talk with them, but don't want to bug them either. Thanks for the info!
Per payperiod. (nm)

She was my coordinator....She was there as of Sunday...
thanking us all for the hard work with TAT! I had my last day thank goodness, my head was spinning from the revolving door of ACs, TLs, etc!
It is Sunday, my brain's day off.

Sunday and Monday
I'm not on the schedule with any of them on Sunday, Monday I only work for one of them. I took the third job because it's a specialty I like and want to do more of. I'm trying to decide which direction to go in - certainly don't want to work this much indefinitely.
I bet you made more than $42 last payperiod.
So we know it's worse out there than what we have it.
Ho-hum, it never ends.
And exactly what is it about the board policy that you don't understand? There are so many people on here who seem to know everything, but obviously can't read well enough to abide by the no bullying/harassing policy. Is it really such a hard habit to break? Sad.
It never ends does it?
QA oversteps their bounds, they interpret things the way they like to interpret them, and they hate being told on. So, let's just admit that as an MT we try our best to make it all jive, follow client specs, and meanwhile make a living. All we ask is that QA have an open mind. Not everyone is exactly alike. I can say that I have argued QA myself and won. I will not be bullied by a QA person just because they feel they have an upper hand. We are all in this together. To simply state that an MT needs to work on it when the client spec does not tell the MT what to do and then the MT gets a bad grade is just plain ridiculous. Without the MT, there'd be no QA, so let's get real! 
Well one is in DC, name ends with ETC,
email me if that is the one, I'm testing for this one and will drop plans if this is IT
I don't care if it is 3 am Sunday morning, get up and
End of payperiod? Good Lord
12000 lines per payperiod
Okay, if i tested with a company Sunday and..
I have not heard anything as of yet, am I safe to assume that they don't want me on their team? This is a company that runs ads just about every week. However, I have not seen an ad this week yet.
VR - next month starts Sunday
VR is a reality beginning Sunday. It is no longer a rumor.
Since yesterday was Sunday, DD would have gone through this morning
If payday falls on a weekend or a holiday, then direct deposit will go through the next business day. Mine was in my bank account last night around midnight.
when and time cutoff of payperiod??
Say you work Saturday and the payperiod cutoff time is midnight (now the next payperiod beginning) but your shift is not over until 3 a.m. Is it something like this maybe.
I work both Saturday and Sunday...
every single weekend. I have for many years. I have 1 child at home. How do I do it? I just do it. I do a lot of things in life that aren't easy, but I get by. I knew when I became an MT that I was entering the medical field, which does, contrary to what some people may believe, operate on a 24/7/365 schedule in most instances. People do get sick/injured on weekends. If you aren't satisfied with working weekends, your best bet is to find clinic work. Then, your only complaint may be the pay, which is generally lower than acute care because the work is considered easier. Oh, well, I guess you can't win.
What is their payperiod -- 2 weeks or bimonthly?
Sheesh! The BS never ends in this
business. I was told for sure that it was all accounts. What a surprise. Just another line. Doesn't this get tiresome? Thanks for clarifying. Guess they saw me coming.
Unless your account ends up in
But nothing personal. It's a merely a business decision.
No. You have a line count to maintain per payperiod.
A proposed schedule is asked. Hours are not monitored for SEs.
pay 7 days following payperiod end: 15th/30 or 31st

Only time I tend to run out is last weekend of payperiod when OT has been (sm)
authorized starting on Friday. Not too worried, looks like they are hiring more. Makes me think they are anticipating a new account and want to get people on and trained and ready.
This company is too good for me to give up on.
I received the test files Sunday
The dictator is extremely fast and mumbles. Not worth it in my opinion. I emailed her back and politely declined after listening to the files.
It's been my experience that it ends on your last day worked. nm

Usually pay period ends on the 15th and last
day of month. Then you get paid somewhere around the 22nd for pay period ending on 15th and get paid around the 6th for pay period ending on the last day of the month. If you work as an IC you may could expect pay one day after submitting an invoice, but if you work for a company it takes time to process payroll and then if DD it has to be submitted and it takes more than 1 day for that.
When I worked for KS took me almost a month to get my first check.
If you file the SS-8, there are consequences on both ends - sm
You will be asked to refile your taxes for the period in question. This could help you or hurt you depending on your situation. Things you were able to deduct fully may not be fully deductable as an employee or rather than a tax credit, they are now tax deductions which can at times help you or hurt you.
I had a determination for a five year period and it was a wash. There were also no penalties on my end. The company on the other hand, did incur huge penalties and interest. In the end, the only one who really gained was the IRS. The company i worked with is now defunct.
There is no big windfall to the IC so if you hear of anyone who tells you they received a huge chunk of change by filing the SS-8, I'd think long and hard about believing it. It may be possible, again given their tax situation, but highly doubtful.
Listen, you know if you are being treated like an employee or an IC. You have a choice - continue your working relationship if you are generally happy, or move on and find a better fit. This has been going on for decades - control by the MTSOs and compliance by the supposed ICs, but I dont see anything changing anytime soon.
Be careful before you go tilting at windmills :)
FIND A DIFFERENT PROFESSION IF YOU DON'T WANT W/ENDS!!
Are you dense people? You are expendable and someone will be glad to work the weekends. No wonder most of you are in low paying jobs you are afraid to leave, you can't aspire to anything more! Women are crazy. How many male MTs are there who come here and complain on a daily basis?
under new hire plan, Saturday/Sunday all day, 1cent more
nm
I work 2nd shift, and I ran out last night -- never has happened on a Sunday. nm
the employee plus spouse (not the family plan) is 145 a payperiod.

Webmedx - don't think I get get line count in for payperiod this time. (sm)
Several days of no/low work and last weekend when usually can pick up lines there was nothing. This weekend will be last weekend of payperiod so I don't hold any big hopes for that.
I am relatively new to Webmedx and this will be the first time I haven't hit the requirements. Can you tell me what might happen if anything. Thanks.
The post was made on a Sunday night -- no one in the office really to ask then. sm
And it seemed a harmless question. He/she wasn't really asking a policy question ... just a general question regarding when the payday is. Most companies that I have worked for, if the payday is over a weekend, they pay on Friday. Unfortunately, that is not the case here, but at least they are upfront about it, and it says so in the paperwork somewhere.
12+ hours a day, 30 yrs exp, and can't make ends meet?
How many lines do you type in that 12+ hours a day? What is your line rate? Get incentives?
Even if you typed 100 lines an hour, that's 1200 lines a day at 8 cpl that would $96 a day.
What in the world are you paying for rent?! lol
Sounds like my company - starts with T, ends with D.
No work to be found.
Isn't it also illegal on both ends to work for FREE?
There are labor laws in the United States, right? I have been an IC and MT, never an MTSO or subcontractor, but my husband has, and when he subbed out work or had temporary workers, he had to file 1099s for them at the end of year, etc. We can't even employ nannies off the books anymore in the USA, right? Second, on reading the OPs follow-up posts, something is way sharky about the OP. Not an innocent newbie at all, by the tone of things. Now he/she is running radio ads? Working getting paid twice what they should be? Whatever on earth that means, and I'm sure none of us are interested. Just a waste of board space, again. In fact, shouldn't this post be removed, since they basically admit they are ADVERTISING for work?? That doesn't stay on Company board and should be removed. Can someone tattle, please?
I hope I'm a patient whose care ends up
being compromised by all this 'robot transcription' cr@p. Then I'll find me a good lawyer, and sue, sue, sue my way to a happy and wealthy retirement.
LOOK OUT HOSPITALS AND CLINICS - READY OR NOT, HERE I (AND THOUSANDS LIKE ME)COME!
yes, you have a certain amount to turn in by Sunday night at midnight, but you can try and type it
all that Friday.
Pay period ends on 15th, checks on the 20th. This
is pretty standard industry-wide.
You certainly are a lucky ducky. Wait until the honeymoon ends.

Webmedx PTO rate of 1.08 hours per payperiod and only for Full-time Employees
Webmedx only gives PTO and insurance to full-time employees. No PTO for the first 3 months, then something like 1.08 hours per pay period, starting at 0. If they run out of work or your ISP goes down or your child gets sick and you cannot get in the full 35 hours to qualify for full-time, they want you to use your PTO to make sure your hours add up to 35 that week. If you fall below 35 hours for 3 months in a row, no matter what the reason, they automatically drop you to part-time and take away your insurance. Then, you have to work a minimum of 35 hours for the next 3 months before you will be eligible for insurance again. As far as holidays, if the holiday falls on your scheduled work day, you have to work, unless you ask for it off in advance, but they do pay you for 8 hours of holiday at your normal rate, in addition to any lines you type that day.
This drama NEVER ends! It is SOOOOOO scary, and so boring at the same time!
Now Lee will come on, with an empassioned plea to please call her, and yada, yada, the misunderstandings. This person left, or that person left, or now a new bolt of lightning. It is getting ABSURD to have this regurgitated at least weekly on this board! Same old, same old. I would NEVER work for Keystrokes, and can't imagine anyone falling for this saga and applying. Something is VERY wrong in KS land.
12K lines payperiod is 6K lines a week.

Current DSG'r
I have been with DSG for a little over 2 years now and have been very happy with them! I have not always been happy with my performance, but they have always been there to answer my questions, to have work for me, and to pay me ALWAYS ON TIME! I would recommend working at DSG to anyone. Now that does not mean everyone will find a perfect fit, but I have worked with a lot of other companies over the years and certainly hope that I will be retiring with DSG many years down the road!!
Current DSG'r
I have been with them for almost 2 years. I have not ran into the problems posted here. I have been on one account, and at my request put on another. They do not move me from account to account. I have never had problems with sound. Yes there is ESL doctors. Yes there are different account specs. The management team, I have found have been helpful. Pay is always on time. Any concerns I have ever had management has addressed. Work is there, but like with this field there are slow times. I have worked for other national companies and DSG is among the better companies. No company is perfect, just like no MT is perfect. You take the good with the bad.
current mt
They are great to work for....no problems at all...they pay for headers and footers so the line count to me is about the same, regarding spaces versus no spaces. I have been with them for 5+ years. If you want to stay with a company and not move from company to company, Phoenix MedCom is the company for you.
Current PMC MTs....
How are the dictators at Phoenix MedCom, particularly the ortho docs?
Thanks :)
Something current
from someone that actually works for them if possible. I've read all the archives about them, but need to know if they've changed like they say they have. Thanks.
Current OSi MT
I have been with the company for 90 days. I love it. I do not understand the negative posts about the recruiters. Mine was great. Very informative, friendly. The company is great. There is work, I absolutely love the account I am on. I only have 2 years experience and I make more than 7 cpl. Maybe they pay base on the account. I am not sure. Give them a try. I am on the ExText platform and I love it.
Their current ad says 8 cpl
to start, and past ads have even stated an increase at particular intervals. (I believe 90 days being the first, but do not recall for certain, and do not know what the increases amount to or how many there are.) When I was there, one of the owners sent an e-mail to everyone once (when she was upset about MTs being asked to cover others' vacation, etc.), and in it stated that, although their MTs are all subcontractors, they have always tried to offer rate increases, even bonuses to add a more personal touch to the IC status, which we all know most do not seem to do these days.
I found them to be very nice people for the most part, but have read here before that the owner is a little quirky, which I also found to be true in my experience, but was unable to draw out of the poster why he/she thought that, and my story is far too long to post here.
They do offer direct deposit, which you must pay the cost of if you want to enroll, but it is minimal. They do pay on time, every time, and in the information provided to newly hired ICs it states that they are not dependent on being paid by the clients to be able to pay their ICs/employees.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
