Checks get mailed out on the 1st of the month and it is now the 15th and I still have not recieved mine.  Today is the 15th and my second check of the month will be mailed out today, but yet I haven't even recieved my first check for July. 

I have emailed them twice over the past few days and have yet to get a response.  Just curious if anyone else is having any problems with getting paid.

job because I have to use some of my ink to print out paperwork.  If that is an honest-to-goodness complaint, you need a dose of reality.

A printer with ink will cost about $30 to $40.  My company owes me $900 in back wages and $900 in current wages.  Yes, I refuse to work any more until I am paid, but I am still out almost $2000.  All they say is check is in the mail. 

If you can put your MT-princess resume out there and get a better job that doesn't require you to spend thousands of cents on ink, you should go for it.

due to MY mistake. I accidentally counted lines typed after midnight on the last day of the pay period and thought I would get paid for them. It was when I first started. They actually cut me a check for those lines that day. Glad I work close to the office.

Just to clarify for you, Grace does the paychecks on site. If there is a problem with your check, call the 1-800 number and ask for Grace or email Grace@medwaremt.com. She will check the problem and fix it right then and there. Don't go to the team leader, go to the person who does the checks. Her office is also right next to the Flannery's so it not a big thing to get them signed.

Let me tell what this ONE person achieved on her own and then you can imagine what many of us can do if we stand together.

Two years ago, I was working as an MT for a local hospital.  One day, we were told that our overflow was going to be outsourced to one of the nationals, just the discharge summaries and not even all of those.  Two months after they told us that lie, they called is in one by one and fired us because they were outsourcing the entire dept because it was cost effective.  The service they were using was a very large national who I happened to know had a reputation of offshoring.  And I just knew because our little hospital had easy as pie dictators with maybe 4 out of a staff of 200 that were ESL, our work would most definitely be one of the accounts offshored.

I was angry!  Oh, they offered us jobs at the service and told us we would definitely be working on our hospital, but I'm no fool and I knew it would be a matter of time before we were forced to take secondary accounts which would eventually become our primary accounts and our little hospital would just disappear from our queues. 

I refused the job with the service on moral grounds.  I refused to work for a company that offshored.  And then I decided to channel my anger and outrage into something proactive.  I wrote letters to every newspaper in my area.  Every small farming community newspaper this hospital served, and the big city newspaper in the big city close by.  I never dreamed that anyone would pay attention at one woman's rantings.  But a funny thing happened.  My letter was printed in more than one of the papers I sent it to, and reporter from one of the larger newspapers called me and asked if I would do an interview.  I said absolutely.

Long story short, they did the interview and then interviewed the administrator of the hospital.  They put him in the hot seat and asked him about offshoring health information to India.  He had no definitive answers to give except that he would have to look at the contract and make sure that it was stipulated that his hospital's work was not sent over seas.

It was a small triumph, but I took some satisfaction in it.  Two weeks after that and just when I thought all the hoopla had died on my little letter, another letter appeared in the newspaper -- from an HIM director at another local hospital who said as a result of reading my letter and interview, that she had received a number of calls from concerned people asking if their medical information was being sent and transcribed overseas.  She wanted to write the letter just to set the record straight that her hospital employed their own MTs and did not outsource to a service nor did they offshore any of their work to third-world countries.

And I'm still not done.  Still a few weeks later another letter in the big city paper was printed from another HIM director assuring the community that her hospital employed its own American MTs and did not outsource or offshore.

Now, everything has quieted down since then, but I managed to ruffle some feathers and make a point, and if I (one person, one middle-aged work-at-home mother of two) can cause that much ruckus -- think what a whole bunch of us can do.

I think we, as a group, need to take control of our industry and our career destiny and do something.  Maybe march on Washington DC protesting the offshoring of American jobs -- not just ours, but ALL American jobs that are being offshored.  There are more Americans out of work and losing work to third-world countries and corporate greed than just MTs!  Our government needs to hear our voices!  We need to MAKE ourselves be heard! 

Instead of sitting back and pasting little smiley faces in our posts and saying good luck with that we need to come together.  There is no room for MTs willing to accept lower wages, no room for MTs whose hearts bleed for our third-world counterparts, and no room for MTs who want to sit back and do nothing, but reap the benefits when the strong win the battle.  We've reached a critical turning point and it's time to take up the cause and change the future. 

Anyone work for them or heard of them?  Thanks for the info.

Are there any StatIQ MTs out there?  Do you like it?  Any pros/cons?

Thanks.

SheriL.

just wondering if anyone currently works for this company and how you like it, thanks.

   I just had to share! 

Hi all!

I just couldn't sit back and not respond to this trail of messages about our company.  Hopefully you'll all see that the original MT who posted has contacted me directly (because I responded back directly to her post), and we have resolved the confusion.  She was kind enough to update the status of things later in the day – please do read her post above.

This particular situation was nothing more than an isolated incident that occurred, which had absolutely nothing to do with anything intentional on our part.  I want to make one thing very clear to those of you who may be reading these posts wondering if our company is one that is reliable to work for.  We have ALWAYS understood that the people working for us are human beings who are working to earn a living, and we have ALWAYS made a point to pay our contractors and employees on a very consistent, regular basis.  We make it clear from the beginning which days are the days we mail out checks, and we always mail checks on those dates.  If there ever were a reason that we did not mail them, any kind of a problem, we would notify our MTs about it.  Our MTs are more than welcome to contact me directly about a missing check in the mail, and I will always remedy the situation in a very timely fashion.  I would not ever intentionally ignore an e-mail about that subject, of that I can assure you.  StatIQ is definitely NOT in the category of “Nonpayers,” never has been, never will be.

To sum it up, I guess I'd encourage all of you out there who might experience a situation similar to pick up the phone and call someone at your company if you don't receive a response via e-mail.  E-mails get lost, overlooked, etc., but any respectable company should be available to receive a phone call from you and would hopefully be willing to resolve an issue like this promptly.  I know there are plenty of companies out there who DO take advantage and do get away with not paying or paying slowly.  We don't happen to be one of them.

If so, what is the average line rate?
