You get paid twice a month, but rather than invoicing on the first and getting paid on the 15th, every basicall 14 days, you will wait 28 days. So you will wait an exgtra cople of weeks for the first check, but after that you do get paid twice a month.

I just dont want to hit that extra space if I dont get paid for it, ya know. No message.

Dont you think that if they paid you better,
and hadn't stooped to the lowness of using VR, that you wouldn't be 'hurting' right now?
It's kind of hard to be happy right now, knowing that as our economy begins to emerge from recession in the future, our incomes will continue to stagnate or drop, as everyone else's start going up again, along with the price of everything we need in order to survive.
If I decided to suck it up and just be happy that I have something to do all day, even though I don't have much in the way of finances or security to show for it, then I'd only be fooling myself.
IC's are paid twice a month, sm
but you are paid the 15th for the prior month's work. Employee status is different and have a different pay schedule.
I know, I worked there. The first month is difficult, but after that the checks flow routinely. You do get used to it though.

Only paid once a month
Is it normal for a service to only pay once a month? Also, to take lines away from line count for errors and have to give a 30-day notice? I am thinking of accepting a job that does this, but am feeling a bit uneasy as they only pay 3.5 for VR, which is 80% of the job. Thanks for any input.
Only paid once a month
What worries me is who is going to say what an error is? I've worked with QA people before and was totally frustrated with inconsistent feedback.
I am paid once a month.
But I am also paid 12 cpl so the check is worth the wait. The reason I would not take this position is the 3.5 cpl. Even with VR, you are going to have a hard time earning a decent wage, especially if they deduct from that for errors.
Only paid once a month
Thanks you guys for all your posts. I am not taking the job and am back to square one with looking for a new one.
Is there such a thing as good pay and treatment for good work in MT anymore? 
I have been looking now for over 6 months. Seems like every time I find what seems to be a good job, all of a sudden the small print kills it. I sure am glad I can come here to find out about them first or would have been burned long ago. The place I work at now just put in VR and will have EHR soon. Makes me nervous even though they are assuring us we will not lose our jobs. What do you think?
I only get paid twice a month
what plan are you on to get paid every other week?
And only paid once a month...
Yet another company I'm asking to go fly a kite!
So if you transcribe 100 lines, you dont get paid for

Well, seems to me if you work you dont get paid eithr - sm
I do understand the dilemma, but honestly, start looking for a job that does pay during this period. I know of many companies that unfortunately play games with your pay and I've been watching one do this for five years now and remarkably he is still in business because while he does eventually make good on his promise to pay, he wreaks havoc on those who work for him constantly. People like this should be shut down, but as long as his contractors keep playing along with him, he will continue.
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!!!
About 1-1/2 years ago, I paid almost $600/month for COBRA. sm
That was for medical, dental, vision, one person. Hope this helps. It is tremendously expensive, but it does get you by until you get something else.
Good luck! 
If your hired at an hourly rate and you run out of work, then you dont get paid anything??
Just saying, you worked a total of 3 hours one day, ran out of work for two hours, then for that day you only get paid 3 hours? That would suck and it wont pay my bills.
Waiting for that first check is normal. Getting paid once a month is not.

Paid twice a month, with invoices submitted on the 16th and the 1st. sm
Until now, there was no set pay date, but an email today stated that the funds wold be released within 5 business days, and they are working on having it done within 3 days.
Regardless, it is still quicker than any place else I have been paid. At another place, the pay period ends the same, but I am not paid until the 8th and the 23rd, and then it is by check, not direct deposit (Cardioscribes pays via direct deposit.)
At my full time job, the pay period ends on Sunday at midinght, and I am not paid until a week later on Monday.
So, even though it is a bit different not having a specific date to call payday, I still am paid quickly and have no issues with it, but then again, I only work part-time. The people there are great, and it is cardiology clinic work, so it is a nice change of pace for me compared to acute care.
Hope this helps.
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.
If you are paid cpl based on 65 char.line, margins dont matter.
s
dont misunderstand me...we didnt work knowing we wouldnt get paid
How stupid would that be? We were paid a month behind. So when the 18th came we expected our check for the previous month. So that would be one paycheck. No one willingly works for free. I know i certainly wouldnt have typed as much as i did for her - taken time away from everything/everyone else - if i KNEW she wasn't going to pay me. Seriously, I hope she rots for what she has put me and my family through. I'm not talking about a couple hundred bucks. I'm talking thousands of dollars. Yep, I'm ticked
This is not true. I have been there a month and get a good line rate and paid for spaces. ??? nm

What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Sorry. What I mean is, to be paid for holidays, even if you dont work. Major holidays.
Weekly? Services are lucky if they get paid twice a month. Generally, services bill out to their
/
I dont cherry pick, never did. I dont do that to my coworkers on my account.
What is the new status. I dont understand what it means. I dont need their benefits nor do I want
them.
I dont know what that means. I am an SE. I dont sit and wait for work I come back in when it is
there so I never had to deal with Amherst when there was no work because I just stopped working and did other things. My feeling is if this doesnt work there are other jobs out there.
If I cant make QA, dont give me work. Dont dock

I didnt get the packet, do we have to take their insurance if we dont need it. I dont want it. Wish
I would have gotten the stupid thing to read.
I was told several new accts are coming on this month and also next month, so
I'm not worrying.
Pay period goes from 1st of the month to the 15th, then 16th to the end of the month. sm
So, I guess you could maybe get by with less than 1000 a day, although the incentive tier would make it worth your while to do a bit more. I am using ExText, and yes, I find it easy to use, but then I used it for a year with another company. I think their other platform is Mongoose, and I know nothing about that, so really cannot say.
Yes, they are hiring now. In fact, there is a $500 sign-on bonus. I think it is all just acute care. I'm sure they would love to have someone with your experience. Rhonda Durham is the recruiter. I am sure she could answer any of your questions. I am happy to help too, if I can, but I am relatively new. The account I am working on is mostly psych, it seems, and I am loving it.
Another nice thing, their benefits start after 60 days, not 90 like most.
Good luck to you.
Well, I know that MTs from my office have quite MQ and they dont post on here but I dont know how
many. I think MTs with MQ may be getting second jobs and just working for 2 different places at the same time which is probably the smart thing to do anymore because MQ will continue with this short TAT and as it spreads throughout other offices people will continually be running out of work especially after going on DQS.
You obviously have the wrong company. If they dont IM you, then you dont have it on..
I smell management. Nothing you said makes sense unless there is another Focus out there.
Sorry if I dont like gutter humor. Also dont like

TransHealth starts 1st day of month after month SM
you start, BC/BS, good rate on single, don't know about family premium.
Last month was slow on my account..but this month (sm)
we've been swamped...
The new insurance is very reasonable. I pay $200/month and they pay $200/month. sm
Unfortunately, I have had to use it a lot since it changed and I am very happy. They have covered everything.
The insurance is actually $80 cheaper per month than I paid at the local hospital, which is a large employer.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
Training on the system, not paid, but if you are physically typing reports then you are getting paid

Oh, yea -- PAID, too. Grandmother PAID LEAVE would be a great drawing card to TT !!
Just love that PAID TIME OFF !!
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!
Is this a live count of lines paid for or same as CTRL I that we do not get paid for ?? nm

Me too.. the outsourced company was paid for and paid me for headers, but OSI does/did not.

I have always paid yearly and have never paid or been assessed a penaltly. nm

Be glad you get paid tomorrow. We are paid on the 1st and the 15th, so sm
since the 1st is on a weekend, we don't get paid until Monday. It will happen again on the 15th of August …sigh. It is the only thing I do not like about the company, though, so I guess a few weekends of poverty a year is not too much.
Lori never paid me and now ETC has not paid my friend.
What is WRONG with these companies? 
Is it still being paid on time if you are paid on the 1st and 15th.....
and if the 15th falls on a Saturday getting paid on the 17th? My bank is open and posts on Saturday that means I am not being paid on the 15th doesn't? This has happened a lot lately.
At least you get paid, I would rather be paid late than not at all. Just my 2 cents.
nm
Yea, at least u got paid. Everyone who worked for TSI is STILL waiting to be paid
I don't understand how Jayne cannot pay us. We have christmas coming up. I bet her family has a fantastic Christmas because she is using OUR money to pay for it. I worked so hard for her and I know the other girls did too. How insulting that she will not return phone calls or emails or PAY us. How does she look at herself in the mirror knowing that the MTs who did all the work FOR her did not get paid. She even sent me an email saying I give you my word HAHAHA her word is nothing, obviously. Well, I will call the attorney for the THIRD time and see what is going on.
To the poster, at least you got paid even if it was late. I sincerely hope you get your last check.
Spaces, paid or not paid. Do you know? sm
I just started with a company and when I asked specifically if I would be paid for spaces, they said yes. When I started using their program I noticed that the line count for each job did not include spaces. I checked it with more than one program. I called them and they said there was a glitch in the program that would be fixed. It has been almost two months now and that glitch is still not fixed. My checks do not include spaces either. No one at the company knows what is up. I can't believe I am the only one at this company who has deduced that they are not paying for spaces. So, do you check your line counts to see if spaces are included? You might be in for a surprise. Man, I am tired of being burned when I am a reliable and honest IC. Maybe time to do something else. Thanks for listening.
You get paid when SHE gets paid from the client...sm
I don't like that at all.
You dont have to tell me..
I see it quite clearly. Some of that stuff is just plain crap, and it takes longer to change every other word or heading, etc. than to just type it yourself. Trust me, I know the game they are running. I am just trying to prevent others from going through the same thing a lot of us are going through right now. All of this could have been avoided by just having a little more consideration towards their MTs. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why we should have had to work for 12 days and not know what we were making--NO REASON. I think this really shows just how much they really DON'T care about us as MTs, and that makes me both sad  and angry  .
