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.

If my payday falls on Saturday we are usually paid
on Friday, if Sunday, then we are paid on Monday. We also have a pay schedule that is published at the first of the year so we know when our paydates are.
Is there any company which hasn't been...
complained about???
I've read the posts and wonder.
We people? If they want to put it in early, that is fine, but payday is payday. If it is late sm
many of us are in deep trouble particularly folks like me that live from payday to payday because I am the sole support of my son and cannot afford a company that does not put the money in on time. Those companies that do that should be run out of business or banned from the MT community. They give MT a bad name.
I bet you are an MTSO who does not pay on time....you people? Gives me an idea as to the part of the country you are located too.
I know my company would die before they put it in early and heaven forbid if you complain because it is late! You are lit into like a light to complain if it is late by the owner. It will never happen that it is in there early and I doubt seriously that it will happen that it will ever be right either. It is never right and yes, I am looking for another job because there are too many good companies to work for to put up with bank charges in excess of $50 for paychecks that are not in there on time or are wrong.
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.
.
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?
hasn't it been said it can be 30% less...

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?
Looking for paid holidays with a company. n/m

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?
It hasn't been announced yet..
But some of the office people have "leaked" the info apparently.
Really, that hasn't been my experience at all.
I was initially concerned when I heard the company was sold, but honestly you would never even know they are a part of Transcend unless you actually knew it. (Does that make sense??). The owners are still extremely active, and my managers and team leader are really special.
You are the first person I have ever heard has noticed a change. MDI is growing, but they are growing on their own. I think they have almost 500 transcriptionists at this time. BTW, I don't think Transcend is much bigger than MDI - they also have 500 employees.
This hasn't been my experience other than to say
do my work. Working before anyone else gets up and then end of day seems to make all the difference in making line count in my situation with MDI on a C-phone account. Perhaps it is an issue of what accounts you have and how versatile you are.
OSi hasn't changed
I just left there because of the VR and the low work volumes. They aren't offshoring, I can tell you for sure. I can tell you also that the work is still very low, the VR pay is terrible and forget it about communication, and yes they still micromanage through the IM.
This hasn't been a situation that has gone on for
months. The biggest account took some of the work back in-house w/o warning. It was done w/o warning and the other accounts have had to absorb all the MTs who were left w/o work. I have been there less than a year so I don't know if the work flow is a cyclic thing or not, though if you read the board it seems like the workload is low all over. I know things are frustrating, but at least they pay for down time.
IT HASN'T BEEN IN OVER 3 YEARS!!
I have never known them to use the supervisor as a recruiter!!!!!!!!!
it hasn't started yet, still getting set up

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.
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.  
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.
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.
Amphion hasn't, to my recollection
x
It still hasn't been resolved for everyone. I'm still in limbo. I'm going
to give it until tomorrow.
Huh??? CyMed hasn't been around for almost 2 years now.
They were bought out by SPi, which is one of the worst companies out there! I know this for a fact as I worked for Cymed for about 2 years until they were bought out by SPi in the mid to late summer of 2006, so they don't even exist anymore.
This is the first year Oracle hasn't sent anything...oh well.
Not even a thanks. As a matter of fact, been unusually quiet this week. Hhmmm, feeling guilty maybe?
I'd like to know why this bunch of crooks hasn't
I can think of a few MTSO bigwigs who could use 150-year jail sentences.........
The industry HASN'T advanced. sm
That's what the 'gripes' and 'complaints' are about. Technology in this field has advanced, but normally with advancement of technology comes advancement with compensation for continuing education. That's not happening in this field. THAT's what the complaints are about. I, for one, welcome advancement in technology. I'd still be working on a Selectric typewriter with carbon paper if I didn't. What I don't welcome is the fact that while technology is advancing, the working conditions are declining. While we are continually learning and sharpening our skills, researching new terms, equipment, drugs, procedures we are LOSING pay. This is one of very few industries where the workers are continually required to learn more and do more, but the compensation is going backwards instead of advancing. When technology advanced for the physicians and for the nurses, did they take cuts in pay? No, they actually advanced with their fields and their compensation increased based on the justification that they had invested time and money to learn the new technology. They became 'specialized.' When technology advanced for the medical centers and hospitals, did they lower their prices because their staff could do their jobs in a few less steps? No, they raised prices based on the premise of increased price of equipment and costs for doing business. What about us?? We have increases as well! What honestly justifies a cut in pay when the cost of everything else is skyrocketing? Can you tell me that??
This MT board is really the only way we have to communicate about our field. The 'griping' and 'complaining' is a symptom, and there wouldn't be a symptom if there wasn't an illness. So obviously there must be something wrong with the way this field of medical transcription is moving. This networking board allows us to discuss it openly where we can't with our employers or management. It almost seems as if some people won't be happy until they can take that away from us too.
So you're one of the lucky ones who hasn't
taken a cut in pay for working longer & harder? It's sad to not be able to feel compassion for your fellow MTs who are struggling to make ends meet when their pay is being cut & the cost of living is rising. The CEOs of the MT corporations aren't going hungry, but some of our fellow MTs are really struggling. My compassion lies with them.
Paid for spaces depends on the account. Good company. nm

Not paid for the WHOLE report? Classless highway robbery by that company. nm
.
Sounds like a company I worked for. I did get paid in full but I sure know how you feel!
Can you post or email me just the initials of company and I'll let you know if this is the same one. It has happended to me by more than one company in my time as an MT
Disagree with this. Every company I've worked for paid for normals.

Are you sure you don't mean MDI (Medical Dictation Services, Inc.? MRC hasn't been around
s
She has been told this for years now. Hasn't changed.
You would be shocked at how many MTs have left them. Amazingly they keep finding others to hire. Sad, sad, sad.
I was told it hasn't started for any account
In order to finish you have to start and as far as I know no account has been started with this new line counting utility. When I questioned this, on several occasions, each time I was told its still happening but that was the extent of any information that was conveyed to me.
Hasn't your mother taught you any manners?
What is wrong with you to judge? Do you think every MT has to be just like you. Every business has the high achievers and the ones who struggle, possibly to find they have chosen the wrong field, or the wrong company, specialty expander.
Your ladies who toss off your smart a$$ comments at every chance are part of the reason MTs are considered difficult.
If you are like this 24 hours a day, I have a feeling you spend a good deal of time MTing because there is no one else in the house with you. Who'd want to spend time with a person who could cough up a post such as yours? A masochist possibly.
Find yourself a sense of humor and until then, cease posting in representation of medical transcriptions. We have more class than that where I am in this business.
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?
Wonderful company, but you type letters and look up addresses and you do not get paid for spaces nm
nm
If getting paid regularly for your hard work is important to you, find another company. nm

Medware..There hasn't been anything on this board since August 2007...(sm)
Does anyone who works for Medware care to share their opinion about the company in regards to steady work, flexible schedules, platform, benefits, etc.? You can e-mail me if you wish. TIA.
Payday
According to the info I received there is a two-week lag from when you turn in your time card and when you receive pay for that time period. It shows that on the list of pay dates and also in the Email info.
payday
I don't think there's a problem with the pay, just that maybe it has moved in house now and is not as automated as it was with the company that handled it before and there is a new payroll person handling it, experienced, I hope, so. . .
My pay has always been in on Friday mornings. I check my account every day before work and I start at 6. This is the first time in my 1 year with TT that it was not in on Friday morning, so I have changed my budget planner to reflect TT paydays based on the payroll sheet they sent out. Sigh. Friday paydays were great for us because my husband got paid on the opposite Fridays, so it always seemed like we had a little bit of money between pay periods. HAHA. Guess it had to come to an end sooner or later. I just hope this doesn't cause serious problems for people. I pay bills electronically so I was able to change some dates luckily.
payday
I am a new KSer also, and am figuring on Tuesday at this point, with nothing in my account. The paperwork does say if it falls on a weekend or holiday, then next business day. I forgot this was President's weekend, and this is my first paycheck.
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!
WELL SAID TT12 - mine hasn't run out yet (I love slow times though)
