Bet no good QA now - they've chased them away by bouncing checks and lying.

A few days ago, there were messages they were bouncing checks, writing bad checks, etc. Search the A

bouncing checks
I am so glad you posted this. I just left Klaar too after only being employed 30 days. I have to wait another 5 days the bookkeeper at my bank says before I can call her back to find out if my payroll check from Klaar is good and has not bounced. The owner/Klaar told me he would wire me the money if I didn't receive my check that day. He made this statement (in email) 3 days in a row. He said he heard on the news this was the busiest time of the year for U.S. mail because of Christmas. And HELLO--what is the deal with mailing payroll checks and not placing them in a priority mail envelope??? I'm not afraid of naming this company, K is for Klaar. The owner's manner is creepy and unprofessional. How does this guy keep his job? Then he angrily emails me back making statements like I need to retract on my slanderous remarks because I'm now telling him I'm receiving information from former Klaar employees. In this stressful world of many bills, there are no words to describe how infuriating it is to know you've wasted time on a situation like this. He stated my claims just weren't true. BULL. Dept. of Labor will get a phone call from me if my 2 payroll checks bounce from this guy. Also, no one will answer the phone in their office that I phoned many, many times. Very suspicious and underhanded.
Not them but CorT bounced my friends 3 checks. nm

bouncing checks & crazy captain
Ladies: I PROMISE that if I find out that both of my payroll checks from Klaar (there are only 2) actually clear the bank and are okay in my checking account, I will return to this post and let you know that I retract my negative statements about Klaar. The payroll checks are drawn on Wachovia. Don't know if that is good or bad, Chicago area. I SINCERELY HOPE that both of my checks clear and all of this is over. I don't want to contact Dept. of Labor but I will because one way or another, I WILL GET MY MONEY/WAGES. I EARNED THEM.
They're bouncing checks lately as per posts here and on MTDaily. nm

Yes it is true! Quit lying!
There always seems to be a few with their heads in the sand at Spheris - but please!  Go look at your corporate email list and see how many Indian names are on it!  It grows every day.  Good accounts at Spheris disappear every day and that's where they go.  You never read the company forums?  Just because your job is still fine doesn't mean you can ignore the suffering of the majority of your fellow employees!  And to recommend someone else go there just to get burnt is really mean.
True, and it seems less people care. I get angry when I see the lying ad sm

but I am powerless to stop it, so I might as well give up.  I wonder if the clients even know what really happens to their dictation, that it goes to India first, then to the MTs.  The work IS done by american MTs, so that is a plus, although they even tried outsourcing to another Indian company and lied to the MTs that it was due to the holidays ... this was at the end of January, no holidays. 


If they want to be upfront and say they are an Indian-owned, Indian-operated company employing mostly American MTs, that's one thing -- people can make an informed decision -- but to say Kentucky based when the company HQ is in India is nothing other than deceit, and my fellow MTs deserve better than that. 


Maybe search for Cort or CorT..most posts were negative so maybe they were deleted. nm

Yes, it's true - they do checks. I was
offered a position quite a while back and turned them down for this reason even though I have nothing to hide either.
those bonus checks aren't extra money...you would just get tw bigger checks rather than 3 checks

don't kid yourself


I dont mind background checks, but why credit checks!!!! nm

CorT
Last I knew, there was only a handful amount of people who still work for them.  Most of them on the last straw with them.  Communication was worse than ever and the don't even pay their people.... big surprise there.  Couple of MTs still waiting for there last few paychecks.
Ex-CorT MT

I would like to chat with you if you are willing.  I am a recently ex-CorT MT.  In same situation.


Another Happy CorT'r
I started on the apprentice program in Jun, with no experience.  Through the excellent QA and correction process they have, I have greatly improved my % and have been given an increase in pay.  I was not paid on time when I first started out because of the problems in the company not getting paid as stated in other posts. I have now been paid in full for the work I have done there, just as they promised.  The work load is consistent and VERY plentiful! I feel respected and part of a team. I will NOT be looking for another company any time soon!  Good luck to you.  Hopefully, you will be able to find the perfect fit as I have.
CorT...anybody work for them?
I received an offer for an MT/Quality Asessor job with these guys, and a couple things about it sort of seem odd. Firstly, I've never spoken to anyone there, never had a phone interview or anything, just filled out the online application and took the test and boom, job offer. Is this common? I've only worked for one company from home, and I had a phone interview with them, so I could be just inexperienced with how many companies hire their people. Secondly, am I understanding the offer correctly? There's an evaluation period where I don't get paid for the work I do???
maybe search for Cort

I appreciate the info..I thought it sounded too good to be true!  Thanks!


I work for CorT

thanks for the input..like I said I could find absolutely nothing for them in the archives, so I must not be looking right if there have been past posts on them. Do they have health benefits for FT employees? And if you can tell me where exactly in Ohio they are located I would appreciate it. If you want you can e-mail me. Thanks.


CorT Medical
I am suing them for the money they owe me. They have not even responded to the lawsuit. I don't even know what else to do.
Bouncing paychecks....
Is there anything you can do when check issued by company bounce? I have only worked part time for this company about six months, but this is the second time one of their checks has bounced. I am only working here until I get a few accounts on my own independently so I that is why I have continued to work for them. I just cannot believe a company would be so money-tight as to issue bad checks for work that has been done. Anyone ever have this happen to them?????
CorT is a client of Focus actually. sm
Focus subcontracts work to CorT as well as a few other companies.
I work for CorT and love it!
Have been working with them for about 6 months now.  There have also been good posts about this company.  It's amazing how people forget the good.  They are great people to work for.  They have had problems in the past with pay, but that has been resolved.  I've had no pay problems since then.  They have consistent work.  The owners actually care about the people that work for them.  I will not be looking elsewhere for a place to work!
It's more than what Cort Medical was offering at first. Is anyone still with them? nm

etranz in GA is still bouncing paychecks. sm

I just got an email from a friend/former co-worker of mine who also worked for etranz in Georgia.  She had over $1000 in checks bounce.  It took her almost 3 months to get them, finally did and now they have bounced!  Please, if any of you MTs know of anyone who is looking for work, please be sure to steer them away from etranz.  They make their ads sound great with weekend incentives and higher line rates, but getting your paycheck is nearly impossible....and when you do get it - it may bounce. 


Please pass the word around about this unprofessional, unethical company!


I have been bouncing around from one account to another, and now they are all out of work!
Trying to hang in there, but I need to work, not sit around waiting for work to MAYBE roll in.
Ive tried, but the emails keep bouncing back to me.

COMCAST AND AOL EMAILS BOUNCING BACK

Many of you who requested union initiative information are using Comcast or AOL addresses, and our emails are being kicked back.


Please enable contact at USMLSU dot ORG in your email program; if the email is bouncing we have no way of getting it to you.


If you cannot enable our address, contact us again using a Gmail, Yahoo, Ymail or other web address (create a new one if you don't already have one).


This will be the downfall of MQ if they continue this bouncing people around. Whoever thought up
this way for MTs to work is so entirely wrong that there is no way they have ever ever done this job. They are totally to the wind doing this. Anyone who has ever done MT work will say that the best way to get the best lines and best quality is to keep MTs with what they know and what they do best. One main and one backup is all anyone should ever have to do. We have constant complaining in my office from the hospitals about things that are done wrong and it is ABSOLUTELY because of people not used to the account hopping in when they run out. Bad bad business.
I wonder what the work looks like with entry level MTs bouncing around in these accounts. Well, they
MQ will just continue to lose accounts and there will be less and less work. The entry level MTs cannot produce nearly what the experienced MTs can I know this from my supervisor and they send everything to QA because they arent sure of themselves so does this make sense. Not to me.
I was IC w/them and checks came on time. First checks were FedX'd to me on time! I left due to an

Look, I am not lying. Why would I lie about it?!?!
That is one thing I CANNOT STAND!! Someone basically calling me a liar. I DID NOT LIE ABOUT THIS!!! DO NOT CARE IF YOU BELIEVE ME OR NOT!!!
I really don't think it's lying. When they
assume that to mean as part of the everyday situation.  You're are just starting up with this company and I think it's expected that you would type a few days to become familiar.  What will you do if a new account comes on board?  Usually, as QA, you'd be the one to test the account out and get the feel for it before offering advice/suggestions to the MT staff.  I guess you could always refuse to type and just not get paid for that time?
Stop the lying
We're on to it.
Then can almost guarantee they are lying.

Stop lying
Keystrokes does not give pay raises.  I have been with them for several years and have not received a pay raise.  I meet my line requirements when there is work available (more often than not).  I would suggest that if anyone is accepting a position with Keystrokes, do not leave your other job until you have worked a couple of days to make sure it is really what you want.
LOL LOL. now I know you're lying!!!
Please stop already LOL
They got caught lying about offshoring!
Love it when one of these companies gets called on the carpet! 
No lying, stealing, cheating at all.
And I am entitled to my opinion. I didn't say all MTSOs are ethical in their business operations but most are.

Seriously, if you read over the board, it looks like a few oldies who are bitter or newbies who cannot get their foot in the door. It doesn't sound like professionals with realistic complaints. It sounds like very withdrawn, angry individuals who do not come out of their shell except on anonymous boards. :)

For the MTSOs who are unethical ... I think they should absolutely be shut down.

Still yet, no one forces you to work for any company. It is entirely your choice. So, make a different one, please.

Be happy.

She may not be lying - but it is not typical or usual. nm

Well I don't agree with lying but if I were offered the money she was
offered, I would have taken it and would spend the rest of my life enjoying.
The lying is unbelievable. If you work there, you darn well

They're lying sort of. They are pretty much
100% Indian, so I guess saying they don't offshore to India isn't a total lie.  They just have an address in the US, which someone posted previously was actually a residence. 
Are you serious? Would you like my personal information to check to see if I am lying???
Give me a break...I happen to like working at Keystrokes and if someone asks a question about them I will answer as best as I can...

May not be lying.. *certain* companies never bothered to check their work.

It would not cost them their jobs. They are just lying through their teeth. Get real, please.

For sure one of the hospitals on their list is NOT their client. Indians lying...
 
do not believe anything the lying management posts. They are insane and ridiculous.

But wouldn't that also open the door for MTs to get in trouble for lying about companies? sm
There are lots of dubious posts out there by MTs who are sure they know the truth but maybe they stretch things too b/c they had a bad experience; maybe they were legitimately let go and now have it in for someone. Anyway, I don't think there is any legal coverage on this site or any other b/c (as stated) it is an anonymous forum.

Basically take everything with a grain of salt!

Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
