they are not supposed to be paid the same as employees. Were you an IC?

Paid twice a month, with invoices submitted on the 16th and the 1st. sm
Until now, there was no set pay date, but an email today stated that the funds wold be released within 5 business days, and they are working on having it done within 3 days.
Regardless, it is still quicker than any place else I have been paid. At another place, the pay period ends the same, but I am not paid until the 8th and the 23rd, and then it is by check, not direct deposit (Cardioscribes pays via direct deposit.)
At my full time job, the pay period ends on Sunday at midinght, and I am not paid until a week later on Monday.
So, even though it is a bit different not having a specific date to call payday, I still am paid quickly and have no issues with it, but then again, I only work part-time. The people there are great, and it is cardiology clinic work, so it is a nice change of pace for me compared to acute care.
Hope this helps.
any employee in any job would change if they found better - not just MTs! nm

When is an SE allowed to change to employee (full-time) status?
Is it 11/01/2005 ?????
Thanks so much for informing us who have not received the packet as of yet.
Employee. 0.09 cpl, 100s of normals, and downtime paid.

I'm lucky...mine are all due on the 1st and 16th..
and I keep all of the samples, invoices, work done, etc., in very separated files. Actually, a couple of times I have sent a file to the wrong one, but luckily they use different encryption programs.
1st through the 15th, 16th through the end of the month. nm
I know that payday is on the 15th, but since the 16th is President's Day, sm
do you think we will be paid on Friday like we were last payday? This is only my 2nd payday, so I was just curious. If I have to wait until the 17th, then so be it. I don't want to be lectured by those I have seen about people expecting to be pair early. As I said, it happened before, and I just wondered. Since it is getting late and I have not yet received an email with my paycheck stub, it is looking like probably not.
Thanks!
TT pay dates?
Could someone tell me how TT pays? Is it every other Friday or certain days of the month? Thanks!

Dates for new TT accounts
This is about the new account:
We did just bring on a new account called *** doing their consults and will be bringing additional work types on Monday, November 5 and then again on Monday, November 26. This account is very large and will require additional staffing.
When are WebMedx's pay dates?nm

Question re pay dates for Webmedx. sm
I have the list that says nonexempt and exempt. Nonexempt is employee, correct? or do I have that backwards?
Also, as an example, it says this pay period for nonexempt runs 03/27 to 04/09, with pay date on 04/17. Pay days are really Monday? Are the ever there early, maybe Friday or Saturday?
Thanks!
Are there any companies with pay dates of 5th and 20th out there? nm

There is no industry standard for pay dates.
There is no one mandating pay dates, but typically
pay periods run from the 1st to the 15th and from the 16th to the last day of the month. Actual pay dates vary, but the 20th and the 5th are pretty common. The majority of companies follow this pay period, some pay every 2 weeks, a very few pay weekly and a very few pay monthly, but the majority pay as I stated.
I wish they would remember our anniversary dates with
I know. Never happen.
Paydays are 8th and 23rd. Mine are usually DD's the day before these dates. nm
check the dates and look again, count tons from one
company as well....no better just different and those companies are here too!! what the hay, eh????
I have no problem with the main job board mtjobs.com
Went to the website, too. Just curious as I noticed the old copy dates, too. nm

I tested last year. The dates of dictation were from months before, so I don't think there's a

It sounds like w/11 line, and the bonus AND the current dates....
you were being used for their transcripition. How sad our industry is coming to that. To use people who need the money for free. I was in your position and got evicted, had to live with my daughter, lost my car, and was in a depression for 6 months and didn't even know it. I thought I was just shocked. This was with a company who changed the platform (for the worst) and my paycheck was cut in half, but not my bills. They didn't even have the courtesy to tell me this was going to happen, they thought we would quit, so I know what you are going through. Just keep working your other jobs, don't lose confidence (I know I did). It is difficult out there right now with so many transcriptionists out of work. Just don't PANIC (hard not to do in desparate situations). What jerks!
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you.
Nothing will change unless we make it change..SM
As long as we accept the exploitation that this MT profession has reduced us to, it will keep going on. The top of this is the outsourcing.... well, get your legislators involved....better yet, the MEDIA. How many patients know their private medical information is being outsourced to halfway around the world? The squeeky wheel gets the grease. Do the patients know that their info won't be sold by some unscrupulous MT (halfway around the globe) to insurance companies, etc., making all this Medical records privacy a joke. It's not just our T-shirts being made in other countries; it's our most personal, private medical information, of which the public is not being made aware of. Not to speak of undercutting out profession to the bare bone. Granted, most US MTs are willing to work below market wage just to have a job, especially in economically-deprived areas, where outside jobs are scarce, and kids need to be fed and mortgages need to be paid. MTSOs know this. I'll bet they'll be the first to lobby against any action against outsourcing. (Wouldn't you be...if you got people to work for pennies while you're raking in the big $$$'s ? Still, notwithstanding the outsourcing problem, we're still going along with all the BS...working for pennies, whatever the client wants, he gets... ever notice how all of the MTSO flak seems to be re. unpaid work...mostly, demographic issues we're not even paid for... bec. It has to be done.. Part of the job... The client put the wrong info but we have to correct it...all unpaid work. Just give me a job with nothing but straight transcription, w/o the unpaid/demo. flak..I'll take it even at the present, absurd pennies-per-line state of the profession.
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 !!
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
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

Statuatory employee versus regular employee....
Can someone tell me the difference between a statuatory employee versus a regular employee? My company offeres IC or SE status....I am confused about whether switching over the SE would benefit me more than IC status that I have been for some time with them? What are the benefits and disadvantages of being an SE versus IC? Thanks for all of your help!
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.
They hire both IC and employee. I am an employee (see message)
and I have full benefits. I am very happy that I came to work here. I came as a statutory employee from a large company. Everyone at MDI has been great to me.
Depends on if you are employee or statutory employee (sm)
Employee, 8th and 23rd of month
Stat. Employee, 15th and 30th month
Diskriter - Anyone go from their employee to hospital employee with them?
Thinking about giving up on being their employee and applying for a hospital employee position through them, they have one in PA right now that looks good. How is it for scheduling? Do you keep your line rate or get whatever the hospital pays? Who manages those accounts, is it the same PM and DR that are on the other ones? I have DR and feel like she doesn't have a clue what she is doing and it is so annoying, but I just don't have the guts to let the company know she needs to step it up a notch because the transcriptionists are not happy under her. Are QA the same people or through the hospital. They have 1 QA that is constantly asking us questions on doctors and format, things we should be asking that QA person. Annoying that new people move up to QA but people who've been there 2 or 3 years get treated like dirt and jumped account to account.
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.
Only employee and statutory employee..no IC

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.
MQ BIG CHANGE?
I just love these posters..gonna be a big change..well, what? Dont post something like that and not explain. It only causes anxiety and speculation in an already scarey field, with outsourcing, etc. Big change, well, come on now..what is gonna be the big change and where did you get your information from?
Well, then maybe that should change.
Maybe they, too, should be paid based on what they produce, with a little bonus if the person stays a year.
Sometimes you just get in a rut and need a change. Sometimes you just
get burn-out in general and think it is the company/account. I've left a position before because I thought the grass was greener, but it wasn't. Had to learn new platform, new software program, new dictators with various new accents to figure out, new way to count lines, etc. Even if the pay was a bit better I still figured I lost money and the grass wasn't greener. No company is perfect, but there are some very good companies out there, but there can still be intermittent issues with any company. Sometimes talking with management might resolve issues, sometimes taking a break will refresh you and make you see things in a different light. List pros/cons of present account and compare that what a different company has to offer. You may realize you are better off where you are and if not you can feel comfortable that you're making a change that really will be better for you. If you do decide to leave current account just don't burn any bridges so you leave with the possibility of being able to return if new account/company doesn't work out.
No. Currently, you can use your own. That may change

I think so...I am not one for change tho....but there
To change
the subject somewhat. Gastric bypass and lap banding scare me to death! I personally know of five people who underwent the procedures, and all had complications, one being death. They all had excellent surgeons, one being my surgeon. Everyone responds differently I know, and that is the problem. It is too much of a gamble for me.
