I am so sorry this happened to you.  Can you contact the Department of Labor in your area?

I almost worked for her in QA, but believe it or not, the day she was suppose to call me for training, she didn't call and never did call me again. I thought well maybe that should tell me something about this so I never pursued it.  We had already signed the contract and everything!!!! 

Do not join Four  Seasons Transcription, Virginia, USA. I got duped 2000 K.

Seasons Greetings to Our MTs !

       It is that time of the year again – time to thank you for all of your hard work, and the high quality of your deliverables.  It is because of your skills and long hours of dedication that management has had yet another very profitable year.

      Therefore, in spite of cost of living increases for our MT staff, in order for our management to maintain the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed, MT line rates will be cut yet again, back to earnings realized in the mid-1980's, to maintain management salaries, plush offices, free lunches and holiday parties.

      Someone must sacrifice, and we are counting on the transcriptionists once again as we cut customer prices again in order to maintain work in the United States, raise management salaries and continue the perks which management enjoys at the office.  MTs must bear the brunt of the customer rate cuts, and it is the MTs that will fulfill the promises we have made to our accounts.  MTs will continue to sit patiently, without hourly compensation, waiting for work to be dumped into the system at the whim of the customer. 

       From a fiscal standpoint, management salaries must be maintained; MTs will be on their own to make ends meet.  MTs are expected to find ways to work around the pay and benefit cuts, by taking on two full-time jobs to earn the same salary that one full-time job afforded in past years, or by moving their families into cardboard boxes under the interstate.

       I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday cards signed by all members of office management during a workless afternoon and free lunch.  The cards were sent out a couple of weeks ago, as the office will be closed for four days over the holiday.  Please contact leads or other MTs with questions or to report changes in your contact info

(new addresses under interstate, disconnected phone numbers, etc.), as management will be out of state, far from the office, receiving full pay for each of the days that the office is closed during the holidays.

      MTs holiday schedules will remain the as always, and those who want to earn holiday pay will need to work two days prior to the holiday, two days after the holiday, three weekends in a row, and all other scheduled days for the next month, in order to earn $0.000000021 extra per holiday line.

       Happy Holidays to all transcriptionists and their families, and may 2009 show continued success, salary raises and perks for members of management.

Sincerely,

Gree D. Boss, CEO

I was a current employee of Robin Hall's that still hung on thinking and believing she would pay me.  My paycheck was 5 weeks late when I finally said enough is enough.  I told her I quit as of 02/01/08.  Since that time she does not show online, does't answer her home phone, cell phone, or e-mail.  This woman is a very very good con artist and apparently has been operating this way for a long time.  I even called on her business number listed on her business webpage... guess what... that number has been disconnected with no forwarding number.  I still have yet to be paid and she owes me over $800.  The part I feel the worst about, I referred a friend to her shortly after I started.  She owes my friend over $900 and can't get a hold of Robin either.  I know there's probably not much I can do about what she did to me but I hate that fact that she will continue to cheat honest, hard working MT's.  I've posted on just about every site I can think of from Guru (where she found me) to Freelance.com.  If anyone can think of any other sites I'll post on them too.  I can't stress enough, please before you accept a position IC or employee status with ANY company..... check them out in any way possible.

Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!

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.

That seems like an awful lot of money to be making unless you're getting a high rate. Most offers I see are avg .07-8. Highest I've seen is .10. What companies pay high rates? I'd really be interested. My company went out of business. I was making .13 cpl, but at 80 characters w/o spaces, which is still higher than .075 for 65 characters with spaces. I just accepted a position at that rate and am concerned about my income. I was earning about $25 an hour, which will now be cut 20% at this new rate plan. I only have 2 years experience with medical transcribing, but have been a typist for many, many years.

Any direction would be appreciated.
