I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Posted By: never had a problem with pay being late or wrong on 2006-01-27
In Reply to: Was going to sign with them, but am leery - since they will not do direct deposit.
Never had a bounced check either. I can see why you would worry though. Maybe they will do the switch eventually.

The company I work for pays
for radiology by the line .. .08-.09 depending on your assignment .. our radiology MTs do very well. The radiology work is MRI, DEXA, PET, ULS, and special studies. Experience in doing more than plain films is essential. The work is Monday through Friday as these are all outpatient centers.
The company I work for only pays
or anything else. They say we will go more than twice as much and make big, big bucks. Do you believe that? I don't. 4 CPL!!! And I bet you can figure out which company on your own.
That is low pay for VR. The company I work for pays almost
twice that. I hate VR. I don't have to do it where I work.
I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

Check your E-mail.
I sent you an E-mail from my other E-mail address. You can reply to that one or to my Yahoo address.
IS THE CHECK REALLY IN THE MAIL?
I worked for a company for about a month. Upon our initial discussions it was mentioned they paid once a month. I said I could not do that because of getting burned in the past. They said they could do twice a month so I accepted the position. First check for the 15th was not received until I believe the 27th as they had surgery and could not tell me when their husband mailed it. Hmmmm. The second check should have been mailed on the 1st. I was told on the 5th that it went through online banking on the 4th. Now I'm being told that it takes 7-10 days for online banking. I never signed any type of contract and mentioned that I would call the doctor myself and ask if he paid them for the services performed. Now I'm getting, I'll press charges if you do that. I'll check with my bank tomorrow and if you don't receive it by the end of the week, I'll pay you through Paypal. The only thing with that is, you lose money. Can you believe that!! I'm sorry, I just had to vent. Oh yeah, I took Friday off and I was away. I wasn't ignoring you.
IS THE CHECK IN THE MAIL?
I am happy to say that I was paid today after mentioning I may have my fiance's law firm contact the physician and being told online banking would take 7-10 days. I was paid immediately via Paypal and although I lost a few dollars with their fees, it's better than waiting 17+ days for a check. My final check..I'm done. Gant Transcriptions in Texas is the name and excuses is the game! One for every occasion. I just hope she pays anyone else she may owe. It's awful what we have to go through to get a paycheck, and then made to feel like we're wrong for asking. I guess I'm the only one who works for the money. Sorry, but the thrill of it went out the window with the paycheck that's in the mail..lol..
if they mail you your check sm
contact US Post Office at 1-800-275-8777 and go through the prompts - Delivery Services, Delivery Assistance, Delayed Mail, Customer Service, Document lateness. They will take down all the info (where it is being mailed from, where it is being mailed to, type of service (first class etc), and estimated value) then get back to you with what they find out within 24 business hours. I just called them about Lee Perfect being late (again) on my invoice - have been told one too many time it is because of the Chicago post office! Good luck!

Check your Bulk Mail
I was wondering why I didn't receive a reply and decided to check my bulk mail/spam - there it was.
sm - I sent you a message - please check your e-mail...
I have a couple more questions - if you wouldn't mind taking a minute to answer them I'd appreciate it!
just checked my mail, no check

Check lost in mail :(
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced this problem... I'm afraid my check that was mailed on June 4 has been lost in the mail :( I have a new mail carrier, and lately we have been getting a lot of mixups with our mail. I am going to go to direct deposit when I get this check. I am so worried as I am the only one working right now, and we have a family of 5 with 3 little ones and desperately need my check. This happened once before when I moved out of state and worked at MedQuist, and it was a horrible experience. They needed to wait a few weeks before issuing a new check after stopping payment on the one lost in the mail, so my check was about a month late. I am already behind on rent, so I am worried. So far I love my job, and I'm hoping the process will be a little easier with SoftScript...Has anyone ever had this happen to them?
Check your bulk mail or spam
directory. I thought I had been overlooked too, but the response was in my junk mail.
Go ahead and think that until check is not in mail Monday . . . nm

I get mine check by mail with no problems
I work for the Q and my checks are mailed to me. They come on time every time. I have never had a late paycheck with them. I have worked for companies who consistently pay late and left because of that, a definite deal breaker for me no matter how good everything else is with the company. One day late and I quit working until check arrives, this from experience with not getting paid at all for two weeks of work at one place. My bills have to be paid on time so payday has to be dependable. I have been messed up by a bank computer glitch with direct deposit twice in the past and that is why I have gone back to having my checks mailed.
I get my check on Monday or Tuesday by snail mail . sm
After bring home peanuts from MQ, it is worth the wait!
Check is direct deposit and we get the stub through e-mail....

Speaking of Spheris - How long does it take to get check in mail?
I am changing banks and so they are going to mail me this paycheck - I am in California so I was curious if anyone could give me an idea of how many days it would take roughly for the check to arrive.
Mucho gracias!
when docs give mtso a check, then mtso pays you?

I would not go with a company that pays so low
and lies about stuff
Almost every company pays more
Just pick any other company and apply.
My company pays more
For acute care. Where I work, ops pay 2 cpl more than clinic notes. The breadth of knowledge required to transcribe op notes across multiple specialties is significant. Obviously it can be learned, but takes time to get proficient at ops.
I would go 110% with the company that pays more...sm
Some will argue, but a good MT shouldn't have a hard time finding a job. I didn't. They are posted everywhere. Go where the money is! I was in the same situation. Going from platform to platform, account to account, slows you down more than you know. Hop on one train and ride it!
anyone know company who pays weekly?
Are there companies that pay weekly? Curious.
As an SE the company pays your taxes, but
you have the flexibility with your schedule as an IC. I have always been an employee so I'm not up on all this, just what I was told at one time, though that was a couple of years ago and rules/regs may have changed. Don't know how SE would affect you being able to claim business expenses, if at all.
What company pays per report for QA?
I know a company that pays for 5 if you're off.
nm
My company pays $15 to $18 per hour for QA but
I was offered a QA position and even at the highest hourly amount, I make at least $3 more transcribing.
Depending on how much discipline I have on any particular day, I make anywhere from $20 to $35 an hour but never any less than $20 an hour on production. Other than my hands killing me periodically, I would much rather transcribe!!
This company pays weekly...nm

My company pays downtime if
there is no work within your scheduled work time. You don't have to make it up if there is work later either. They don't guarantee lines though and the amount they pay is less than most MTs would make by transcribing, but it is money coming in. We went several months where some accounts were running out of work daily, now lots of accounts on OT until further notice.
My company pays very weakly! LOL
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
IC pays ENTIRE tax to IRS, company does NOT pitch in.
This is a BIG boon for the companies as they try to pay ICs the same (or lower) rate than employees. At the end of the year, you will find yourself owing Uncle Warhead a really big chunk of money - and deductions? Forget it unless you can come up with more than $5,000 worth, which you may be able to do if you are buying a home - be real careful if you are renting. I don't care what anyone tells you. Talk to a tax professional before considering going IC.
what company pays 17 dollars an hour?
JLG pays 21 dollars an hour, that is a fact.
Anyone know what a company called Synernet pays? nm

What company pays 18 cpl? I'm familiar with most of the places out there and 18 cpl is unheard o

Anyone know if Accustat is a good company and pays on time?
Curious
Good company. Pays higher than many. Very high
Pay is always on time (early if payday is on a holiday). Good transcription software. Approachable, friendly management. Benefits okay. (Blue Cross). Also eye & dental. 401K that they also contribute to. Pretty much straight typing, not much in the way of templates. VR in place on some accounts. Currently MT has the choice of using it or not. All in all, I'm satisfied with working there.
Does anyone know if Precyse Solutions is a good company that pays on time and has plenty
of work?
RE: E-mail me - I think I might have a company for you

What would you think if your company sent out an e-mail asking for - sm
Everyone who solicits new clients can get a reward of either $50 or $100, I think depending upon whether they actually get a sale of accounts brought in or just a lead. So for as much as a whopping $100 I am going to get my employer a client and turn that info over to them? Uh, I think I might just get that client for myself and keep ALL the money!
Who do you work for that pays
pays per minute?
Actually, we both know that we are going to work more for the one who pays more!
x
So where might you work? My co pays 6.5.
I'm not putting that down. I believe all MT work is equal. The companies do not seem to feel the same way.
Who pays the best for VR work?
Which companies pay the best for VR work? What schedules do they require you to work? Do they have benefits? I have 2 children to support so I need to have a dependable work also. Thanks in advance
Yes, please e-mail me. It's a good company.
It is not in Georgia though. The parent company, Transcend, is in Georgia. MDI is located in Florida.
Where did you read that? A company e-mail?
k
Can you e-mail me the company you got hired with?
I only have 5 years of experience, but I haven't been offered anywhere near 9 cpl for clinic. I would greatly appreciate it. Granted, not looking to switch jobs any time soon, but wouldn't mind knowing where to look in the future if need be.
