Thanks, BlueEyes. Much more well thought out than my post. sm
We can't talk out of both sides of our mouths, on one side complaining about offshoring, while on the other side buying foreign products. 
Love your post. Never thought about it that way. (sm)
Glad to be going to work for a company that has people with positive attitudes like yours and others I see posted here.
At first I thought I had written your post
The same thing happened to me. Yet I continue to try and I ask myself WHY??? I am retired so I've got mine, why should I care about anyone else? I guess cuz that's just the way I am.
I misread your post - I thought it was about fraud
sorry.
Are you being sarcastic or serious? I thought it was a good post. nm

Sorry for the double post - I thought it didn't *take*

Thanks, that was me, but could not find so thought I forgot to post nmI

I'd never survive on BIMONTHLY pay....
It's sometimes a struggle with biweekly pay when something unexpected comes up, but I'd never survive on bimonthly. Ouch.
Well said. Never worked for D&L but when I read the "IC" post, that was my thought as well..nm

Actually, I thought her post was professional. Do you work at MDI? I doubt it.
she can most likely weed out the MTs just by their posts anyway if she's dealt with them at all. She did the right thing to simply state MDI MTs can come to her IF they have concerns. It's great to share info, but not ALL posts are by sister MTs sharing the good word. There are many, many who love to incite drama and there are always 2 sides to every story! Anyone can come on here and claim they are great MTs and do all that is expected of them yet are treated terribly by a company, but that sure doesn't make it the truth. About how many MTs do you think are at MDI? And how many individual MTs are here complaining? Not the same posters using different names but single persons. Do the math and figure out from that how many are unhappy at MDI, and my bet is your percentage will be low. I know of a lot of MTs very happy at MDI with enough work. But then I'm sure the naysayers will just claim those are the favorites or something.
What is TH's pay period? Two weeks or bimonthly? nm
.
Bimonthly pay....as in you get paid only every other month???????
I could never manage with only getting paid every other month. That's a long stretch between paydays!!!
Bimonthly means every 2 weeks...sm
I think you misunderstood what bimonthly pay means...she pays every 2 weeks, on the 15th and the end of the month, just as most companies do. How is that difficult to budget?
No, bimonthly means every other month....
Bi-monthly = Every other month
Bi-weekly = Every other week.
Check the dictionary.
What is their payperiod -- 2 weeks or bimonthly?
It's a MINIMUM, and it's per bimonthly pay period.
No, everyone does not get paid the same line rate, and we all work at different speeds.
Just for the fun of it... let's try some math. Say you average 150 LPH (which is the minimum LPH quota for us former TRS folks, anyway; don't know if that's across the board at Transcend). So if you work 8 hours, that's 1200 lines a day, which I am told is a ballpark quota across the industry. There are 11 days in MOST pay periods, so that would be 13,200 lines per pay period.
$900 divided by 13,200 equals roughly 6.9 cents.
I would sincerely HOPE that MOST people are getting paid WELL above THAT! But that's all you'd need to make per line, at 150 LPH, 8 hours a day for 11 work days, to meet the minimum to be considered full time.
8 cents a line at 13,200 lines would gross you $1056. 9 cpl would get you up to $1188.
And if you work faster than 150 cpl, it goes even higher.
The $900 per pay period floor offers plenty of wiggle-room for the occasional bad day, and the occasional 10-day pay period.
And the $900 per pay period is supposed to be an AVERAGE; if you drop below it for one pay period, you don't get cut off at the knees. Or so I am told. Personally, I've never been anywhere near that low....

Biweekly pay
Are there any companies that pay biweekly instead of on the 15th and 30th, who then make you wait for two weeks for your check? Big services ought to be ashamed of themselves. When I was MTSO, the girls invoiced me on Friday and I paid them the following Wednesday without fail and I wasn't huge. I'm looking to supplement my income with what I currently make and hopefully get a check weekly.
Great post and very true! I read these today and was amazed that someone's first thought was pay
I agree that circumstances can make loans necessary but the OP sounded more like she uses these on a regular basis. No I'll have to learn to budget for the difference, just oh no, now I need to go to Payday Loans and pay 400% interest.
We have the potential to earn what we need to, although sometimes lately it is harder and harder.
Good for all of you. Wish I had seen these earlier.
p.s. Can someone call and tell my BIL to grow up too?
MDI FL pays biweekly.

Any companies who pay biweekly
Add FutureNet to the list as well. Pay period ends Sunday, and checks are received the following Friday either by DD (they have a line count requirement for that), by snail mail, or by UPS.
IC Pay weekly or biweekly
Are there any companies out there that pay ICs weekly or biweekly. I just lost an account to EMR that paid weekly. I don't want to be paid twice a month. Thanks.
Long time MT
Precyse pays biweekly......

DeVenture moving to biweekly pay.
I just went through and changed all my auto payments since we are moving to biweekly payments. Just wanted to remind those of us that had that weekly DD!

How does Keystrokes pay - biweekly, twice a month??...

Does FutureNet pay biweekly and do they have direct deposit? TIA

The industry standard is biweekly. It costs money
to process payroll and unless they are a very small company and do payroll in-house it isn't cost effective.
The last time you asked, or the time before that, there were a few companies listed who pay weekly.
2 small MTSOs, IC, work 8-10 q.d. ~6 days a week, ave 2000-2300 biweekly, 10 yrs exp. 0.06gross and

I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company. I work days (and some nights) with this company. I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night. Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working. Do you have to have set hours at your company #2? Thanks for the suggestion.
My post should say the post above not the post below, Sheryl's post to be specific. nm

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
A thought. sm
Good points. From what I've heard, managers don't have to handle situations exactly the same way as others might. They follow basic company rules and procedures, but you could get different people running things differently depending on their style, preferences, or client needs. MQ offices are like this, too, from my experience.
Maybe it's not favoritism, or misinformation, or conflicting information, but rather just a choice being made. Then again, if there are vastly different methodologies between managers, to the point that it affects the MTs, maybe that does need to be brought to the attention of a higher authority so it can be worked out to the satisfaction of all involved. The managers may not even be aware that they work so differently! Maybe this is something that MTs can address with the managers involved?
Has anyone thought that.....
the office politics we suffer from national MTSOs is WORSE than the office politics you find in hospital medical records departments? At least in the hospital you run into people and they can't ignore your communications, whereas with nationals they can not only ignore you but they can deny reality. I don't fault any MT for NEEDING to work at home, but it's not pain-free, there is a heavier downside than commuting (especially when you add in the inferior benefits: vacation, sick leave, etc.)
I thought they might get better, but...
Sorry, you are having a rough time. Are you new to MT or just new to the company? I have to say they do pay well, but it doesn't matter if you don't get paid for all your lines!!! I like the accounts I am on, don't mind ESL, but QA has gotten really bad, very inconsistent. It is hard to get a hold of anyone if you have a problem, too.
sorry, I thought you said w/o
Sorry, thought you said w/o.
I never thought 40% though.
I thought maybe 20% or 25%, so I was shocked with the 40%, and I would not be so angry had they told us ahead of time. I think it shows what they think of us not to at least tell us on August 1st, but then that is just my opinion. Some people let others treat them as door mats and don't have a problem with it. I do have a problem with it and think I deserve better from any employer.
Have you ever thought about....sm
the fact that usually people post only on the forum (and websites like this) only when there's a problem and not when things are going well? I and others that I know of on my account aren't having the problems that you're talking about (knock on wood!).
just a thought
Does anybody else think that medical transcriptionists and migrant farm workers have a lot in common, such as wages, supervisors and working conditions? I think the MTSOs and the migrant/illegal worker supervisors have very similar character and personality traits as well as business practices. I wonder if they get their training in the same places.
