First rule, never work for a company who says "I'll pay you when I get paid." sm

This is unacceptable. Any company with a decent client base gets paid at least net 30 days. I previously operated a small service and paid my subcontractors twice monthly despite being paid net 30 days by my physician groups. Yes, it was a hardship for me, but I brought those who worked hard to help me maintain my service first. Any company who pays their workers when they get paid, does not deserve to employ others. Plain and simple there is no excuse for this. Please, please find a company who values your work instead of using you.

Worst company to work for. Read the archives and you'll
be hard pressed to find anything good about this company.
I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
If getting paid regularly for your hard work is important to you, find another company. nm

Awesome small company! Paid on time every 2 weeks. Plenty of work!
Owner is great. I would recommend this company to anyone who wanted to be paid what they are worth and paid on time!
It doesn't look like you'll get paid by Nicholas
you don't know when you'll get paid. The others I have no idea. Just my 2 cents.
Maybe you'll get your mortgage paid that way! (sarcasm) nm

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!
Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I've been with the company almost 10 years. I know the truth. Hawaii was a company-paid vacation.

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

okay, I'll ask - what company are we talking about?

I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
from now on i'll go straight to the company website. sm
i didn't realize a simple question would stir up some negative comments. i find the comment about the IQ very insulting and unnecessary.
A great company You'll be lucky to get in though,
Work is slow right now like it always is near the holidays. They have extremely affordable benefits, and once you are established there, they seem like they are willing to work with you if you need to change your schedule.
I hope you'll share the NAME OF THE COMPANY
I know I certainly wouldn't want to make the mistake of ever applying for a job there!
My (different) company gave us that "you'll
2 years later, I'm less productive, not more, on that godawful, 'new-and-improved' platform.
It is an Indian run company. If you'll check the archives they
have been asked about several times the last month or so. There has been nothing good said about them.
You'll be hard pressed to find a company
that pays hourly and allows you to work at home, that just isn't the way the business works. I'm not saying that those type of positions don't exist, just that they are extremely rare. Now if you worked on-site that is a different story.
The Indians didn't get a raise, but I'll bet the CEO of the phone company did!! nm

When a company tells you you'll tripple your line count

Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

So, if a company paid by VBC (sm)
(visible black character) at a 55-character line, would the pretty much equal out to a 65-character line with spaces?
Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
Company paid internet
For those of you who do your transcription via internet, does the company you work for reimburse you for your internet cost? If so, how much?

I agree -- if someone does not get paid by a company, that's something we all sm
need to know! As much as some of us may love doing what we do, I doubt any of us want to do it for free. One of the purposes of this board is to network and share such information. I know if someone did not pay me, of course I would go through the legal channels, but I would be screaming my head off here, warning everyone too.
To the OP, sorry this happened to you -- hope you get your money soon.
It wasn't your company and you were paid well
you deserve a share of the profit when she sells HER company?
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
Archives doesn't mean it is old info necessarily. If you'll go to the main company page, typ
JLG in the search box, make sure the MTStars circle is checked and click on search you'll find lots of current information. This is considered archived information but there are posts are recently as last week there.
I'll never work for another co. that isn't 100% U.S.!!! NEVER! nm

If your company hasn't paid you come payday and
promises it will either be overnighted to your or in your account by the end of the day and it isn't, and the next day the money isn't there and they wait until the end of the day to tell you they don't know when you'll get paid doesn't that sound very fishy? I think the CEO should have issued a statement and outlined exactly what the issue is. If it isn't a matter of money (like they don't have it) then why not say what the problem is.
Someone mentioned this situation yesterday or the day before and got reamed, but I think this is now a MAJOR issue. Fortunately for me I got a big tax return and I haven't paid all the bills yet so I'm not hurting, but I can imagine there are more than a few who NEED their checks NOW.
company-paid phone bill?? sm
Crazy question, have high speed internet and AOL for my mail. I do not have unlimited long distance. Is there any company for whom you would not run up a huge phone charge, could not do that! Crazy question, I know - but doesn't hurt to ask.
Why would you keep working for a company for 3 months without being paid? sm
I'm sorry this happened to you, but when the first month's check didn't arrive, that would have been it. I still enjoy transcribing (most days) but not enough to do it for free.
Good luck to you in getting your money That's an awful thing to happen to anyone.
Pretty soon they'll have us pay them to work
It's the same with most companies anymore. Here's how to tell a lot about the company before you aggravate yourself with training, etc.
Who has the most job offers posted? How frequently do they post them? If you see a company trying to hire all day, every day of the week they have a problem, because those they do hire do not stay.
A position that has to be posted so frequently is not a job worth having. Someone left that job for a reason, and it's probably the same reason you won't want that job either.
Tell me, does this sound like a job you would want?
IC at 6 cents a line - You have to give them a schedule when you work, and if you aren't working they call and beat you over the head?
Pretty soon, as I said, they will have us working for free, or worse we will owe them money to sit and type all day. LOL.
That's what happens with me, too; it'll work at the beginning of the day but then not.
My tech guy said he'd look into it but I'm thinking it's just a glitchy program.
I'll bet this one's a real joy to work for.....
;p
Go to work for them and you'll find out
LOLOLOLOL
If you ask for more lines, they'll work with you (NM)
:D
Believe me, you'll work weekends so don't
go bragging just yet. Chances are M-F will find you running out of work.
I'll tell you how its taking work
Say you, and others like you, come on (or remain on) at the beginning of my shift. The work volumes drop dramatically as YOU make up your hours - TAT issues or not. By the time you've made up your time, there's maybe an hour's worth of work left. That runs out rapidly as my shift was already FULLY staffed, and I get stuck sitting there the whole 12 hour window - and if I'm lucky enough work will trickle in during those extra 4 hours that ALL of us scheduled to work my shift that are fighting for it can get their time in and call it a night.
Night after night I run out of work an hour or 2 before my 8 hours are in. Sometimes I only have 20 minutes left to type - but I am forced to sit there 4 extra hours in order to get that stupid 20 minutes - knowing I'll be short EVERY night, so if I don't make my 8 tonight, the chances of me making it up another day are very slim, because everyone is flexing all over the place. Sure it gives us perfect TAT - it also gives us 4 hours of our lives a day, wasted and unpaid!
No I do NOT want to make it up on my days off. I am already spending 12+ hours a day chained to my workstation. My days off are sacred for my sanity. Maybe it doesn't bother you, but it certainly bothers me, and I quit the last job I had where flexing 24/7 was expected.
I know you need to make your hours. We all do. The MTs are just doing what they have to do. The only real solution is to STOP OVERHIRING. Otherwise flexing eventually gets forced on every employee on every shift, whether they mind it or not!
Went from hospital to company using DQS, line count has definitely went down, don't get paid for
demographics even if we have to enter them in. I've put a lot more abbrev in my Expander since switching over to DQS to help compensate.
Company paid me 179 for 4645 lines. Whats that 3.8 cpl?
She does not seem to want to contact me about the money she owes me, either. Thirty years and 3.8 cpl. Unbelievable.  
I do not know anything about the company, but did read posts that they paid late. sm
The pay was decent, though, at 10 cpl, but it was 3rd shift every weekend, and I decided to pass just in case I ever decide to get a life.
Sounds like you had a bad experience -- sorry for that. Hope wherever you are at now is better. 
The company I worked for paid by the dictation minute as well. They said sm
that was the only way to know what you had transcribed, since there is already so much information there. If I remember correctly, it was something like Meditech where you are typing in the patient's actual chart. It didn't work out to be very profitable for me, but perhaps this company has a better system. The company I worked for was MedTran Unlimited or something like that. I was only part-time, but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. After a few days, I realized it wasn't going to work out for me and so I gave my notice, and so they didn't pay me for the training or any of the work I had done. I haven't read anything bad about MD-IT, so they might work with you and make it worth your while.
Good luck. And thanks for the compliment on my doggie -- she is very much my baby. 
Every company I have worked for (5 total) has paid twice a month. sm
Every two weeks would be too hard to manage. I get paid on the 10th and 25th, so I pay all my bills on the 12th and 27th, which works out perfectly for me.
I guess you'll find out when you go to work there....sm
Just be sure to not resign from Transcend until you see if this other company is truly all they told you they would be.
Not much. They offshore, too. You'll get all the crap work.
Great idea. I'll work on this in
Thanks.
I don't think you'll find any work here..unless you have a C-phone...
Not much work here to keep me busy or even make my line requirements.
We must work for the same place.. I'll email you (nm)
x
I'll work for them again if they get another eScription account.
The one I was on was lost. Not too heart broken as it was a pain in the butt account.
