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!

the official rule is that we get paid the following Monday. However, the last 2 times it fell on a weekend and it was a Saturday, we were paid the Friday before (yea!!).  There is a listing of all of the official pay dates for 2009.  You should ask S for it. 

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.

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.

I wish I wouldn't have came on here today, now I have one more thing to worry about in this time of woes with the economy.  This really sucks. 

Voice recognition couldn't take over, we may have lost a few jobs, but now the president is going to dictate how the transcription gets done.  He is the only one who will be left with a job, or should I say jobs.  He is the jack of all trades now.  Cars, banks, now transcription!

I really feel bad for the millions of women, yes women as this is mainly a women oriented business.  I have only met about 3 males who actually did transcribing in the past 25 years of this career.  So this is also a discrimination against women, the many women that were able to make better than minimum wage and stay home with their kids during their early years will now have to go find who knows what, the one only opening at Walmart to try to support her family. 

This just makes me sick.  Why do we need to have a shortened medical record made by templates just because the president thinks it will be better. 

I can only say I hope he legalizes prostitution before he gets rid of transcription.  Because this may be the only option left, (only joking, hope it doesn't come to this point).  

Yeah this free insurance sounds real great.  At least while we are sitting at home wondering what to do we can try to break a leg or an arm just to get into that wonderful hospital setting where we can have room and board and 3 squares a day. 

We should all start a petition or write to the white house, calling this discrimination, that's the only thing that gets attention in this country.  Discrimination against this mainly women oriented industry and their children. 

I can only pray that this doesn't happen.  God bless us all who do this grueling job. 

Thanks for your suggestions.  All women on the verge of turning 50 are delighted at the prospect of changing careers - and so are the employers to hire them.

I haven't been in this profession very long - less than 10 years.  So I DO have other work experience.  Competing with girls half my age in the current job market is such a thrilling prospect, I'll get right on it.  My skills with addressographs, mimeograph machines, hand-kept books, selectric typewriters, etc. are in SUCH demand I know I'll blow past those whippersnappers like a blazing comet!  After all, I've forgotten more software programs than they know, because I was all about computers before they were cool!

At least the president of the company must have some class.  This is an email I just received from him:

I mean no harm -- I am just truly curious.   I just moved to the Denver area from Kansas, and there is a chain of banks here that is open on Sunday, which was a surprise to me just with that.  I didn't know that there were banks that were open on holidays too -- that would be great!  Well, sorta great ... I'd get my deposits anytime, but then again my checks would come bouncing an anytime too ... oops!  LOL 

I haven't worked at Keystrokes very long, but they have been fair with me.  I am disappointed that I have to wait until Tuesday to be paid, but it certainly is not a deal breaker.  I have a part-time job as wlel.  But I have certainly been in those situations where a day or two was critical, so I emphathize to those who truly NEED to be paid as soon as possible.

Anyway, again, I meant no harm by my post.  I just am truly curious about banks that are open on holidays. 

My surgeons usually give me 1/2 of my average monthly invoice, another office  invites me to their potluck and small gift exchange.  The doctors give out small gift cards to us.   Regular employees  might get larger bonuses, have never compared.   I think it is nice what they do for me and I truly appreciate it and do not take for granted.   Another one is a very small office and the gal and I go to lunch usually her treat between Christmas and New Years.   I make them all goodies, Chex mix and cookies or warm muffins first thing in the morning and give a nice calendar personalized with my name on it.    Yep I appreciate my accounts. 

This has nothing to do with Keystrokes, I work for another company.  Pay is suppose to be on the 1st and 15th of each month.  I get direct deposit and my account is not credited until around the 6th and 19th.  When management was confronted, I was told this is standard. 

and no direct deposit.  I almost took a position with them, but that kind of backed me off.  Good luck!

As the other poster said, generally we are paid witihin a week after that.  I think the latest I have received my pay was on the 10th.  It is true that it is a bit odd not having a set pay date, but at least I can sure I will be paid.  I read horror stories on here of companies giving bad checks or not paying at all, and it makes me cringe.  I am my sole support, so if I do not get paid, my world turns upside down in a hurry. 

If you are considering working for them, I wouldn't let that back me off if I was you.  They say the techs are working to fix it so that the line count doesn't have to be done manually, so perhaps in the future, it will be better. 

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. 

The problem with these is that a lot of people don't pay the entire amount back plus the fee and that's it because they're short again on that paycheck so they roll it over and the cycle begins.  Sometimes they go to another lender to pay the first lender, then another to pay the second lender, etc. Storefront lenders at least are regulated.  Most of the ones on the internet are illegal and are more expensive.  In my state they passed a law last year limiting the amount of interest these places can charge.  A lot of them went out of business.  However, if you can use it once, pay it back and that its, you'll be fine.
