Sorry you are going through this. I know when I worked in HR at a bank we absolutely would not consider anyone no matter how nice their resume if they had filed for bankruptcy or even had a bill more than 30 days late. You may want to consider another alternative. Best wishes to you.

I know personally that when DD hits the bank, I can take it out right then and thus withdrawals can
It does not take 3-5 days. That just is not so.
As far as it being the MT's fault, it is the MT's fault only for relying on their DD to be there! Sorry, but when DD is supposed to be in there, it is supposed to be in there. I have two bank accounts, one is for bills only and that is the one where the DD hits. If my DD were late, I would incur charges. Luckily I work for a company that pays on time and you can always rely on them to have that money in the bank on time.
Unfortunately, some of you work for the MTSO who apparently cannot do that and apparently there are more than one of them.
They should offer to pay your late charges due to their lack of responsibility. However, when the MT has had this happen once, I would hope they would learn their lesson than to rely on doing it again because apparently the MTSOs that do this have no conscience.
I have seen it happen personally.
You should contact a recruiter or possibly even your supervisor or another coworker if you still have their numbers and see if an opening is available and if not, what does the future look like.
It depends on your bank not Keystrokes when they post it. When your bank opens it will be there, ar
Hope this helps. Their payroll department is very efficient. In fact, I feel dumb beside them. Very professional (not that they make me feel dumb).
They don't send work to anyone. Period. You can take that to the bank.

1200 lines daily is great if you have the work, personally, I never had enough work so
I left and have NEVER been sorry!
No need to look. Sending 90% of the work offshore has put money in the bank for me. sm
It has lowered my stress level. I work half the hours I used to. Unfortunately for those of you that have your heads in the sand, there are options for companies now that do not include putting up with what we had to for years from MT's. My accounts are happy because the turnaround times are better than ever and the quality is about the same. The offshore companies have improved greatly in the past 10 years and the quality for some of them is the same or better than some in-house departments. Even my customers are amazed when they realize this.
I tell my customers that the work is being done offshore and guess what? THEY DO NOT CARE! They just want it done fast, done right and at a lower cost. They are happy and refer us to other hospitals who also DO NOT CARE THAT IT IS BEING SENT OFFSHORE.
You are fooling yourselves if you think hospitals will not use a service if they send work overseas.
I just wish I had done this 10 years ago instead of 3.
If you think I can't sleep at night, you're wrong. Quite the opposite. I don't feel bad about sending work out of the country because I am now providing money to someone who might otherwise starve.
As Americans, we do not know what it is like to truly be hungry or need shelter. If we did, we might appreciate what we have a lot more. I certainly do now and to be honest, I am happy not to have to listen to every whine and ailment of transcriptionists and excuses all day long. I KNOW the work is getting done.
I used to work for a defunct GA MTSO that did the same thing. I always went straight to the bank and
The other thing to watch out for these companies who constantly bounce checks is that there may be other illegal stuff going on behind the scenes, such as not paying appropriate employee withholding taxes or health insurance premiums. My old MTSO never did send my Social Security contributions to the Feds for over a year. It's part of why I stay with the big nationals. They have their problems but I know my paycheck is always okay.
Personally I like DSG. I work for them and MQ sm
I know there are people out there who disagree but if you work when you are supposed to and do what you tell them you will, then they don't bother you. I like them. Pay is decent.
Personally, I would never work for a
company where I had to pay if certain conditions were not met. What if there is no work and you are short your lines. I would look elsewhere.
Personally, I wouldn't work for them if *sm*
you do have it correct and they do not pay you for an evaluation period. Any work you do for them at all should be paid for. This company just gives me a bad feeling anyway, based on the posts from when they first opened up and started advertising online for help. At that point they weren't paying more than like 0.06 per line. I think maybe you can still find some information over on MTChat.com about them from that time period. I also remember a few posts on here about NSF checks a while back.
I used to work with her at another company. I wish her well. I personally did not sm
care for her or her theatrics but would not wish chemo on anyone. I hope she has a speedy and full recovery.
do you personally work for this company?
 If so, and if it is SOOOOO bad, GET A NEW ONE
W A K E U P
Do they leave you alone to work? I personally
would rather be left alone instead of bothered all day with phone calls, etc.
Based on what...do you say that I will be out of work? Have you personally experienced this?
As for meaning and substance, the words speak for themselves. If you are not sure what they mean, Webster's is always helpful.
you don't happen to work for medware do you??...
I work on an account that sounds just like the one you are on and it is horrible. After 4 months still can't get a decent line count on this account and I have several years of experience.
Nope! If you would happen to go to work there (sm)
don't let them put you on a VA account, the account coordinator is vicious! Their QA manager and staff are also unqualified. I have given notice and will be out of there soon. Honestly, you can do better. Keep looking!
This is bound to happen wherever you work..sm
as well as in-hospital (or even corporate setting) from my experience. THE MOST DIFFICULT, CRAPPY WORK WILL ALWAYS BE ASSIGNED TO THE MOST COMPETENT WORKER. Ask me if this is fair. Ask me if the difficult work by the most competent worker will be compensated accordingly. Ask me if this is going to change. If you are in a position to confront management about it (i.e., other options) I would, since this is affecting your livelihood, while newbies seem to get a free ride. If not, try to stick it out and start looking.
Personally, I prefer to be left alone to work. I hear from my lead when I need her and sm
one or two other times a month, never excessive like a certain company that is rah-rah'd on here. No problem with communication in the two years I have been with them!
Gheesh! Some people have something to complain about no matter what, surprised if even a Keystroke's employee. It is easy to form an opinion when only a handful of employees post here.
Yep, it will eventually happen; just don't be stupid like I was and train them to do YOUR work.
You will eventually knock yourself out of your job if you allow it. Don't agree to it, don't allow it, and don't train ANYONE not even a backup MT, and most importantly DO NOT edit. Once they get it down, bye bye to you it will be.
Good luck to anyone going through this with Medware. I feel for you as this happened to me in the past as well back when I made real good money and cannot ever make that now.
I personally can't sit for 4 hours at a time. I work 2 hous, sign off and take a short break.
It might just be fixing something to drink or starting a load of laundry. If you did something like that then you wouldn't have to worry about a disconnect and possibly losing a report.
where is the job bank? please? nm

OSI has no PTO bank
OSI has no PTO banks and has stopped paying extra for holidays. You will be paid extra only if you type minimum line quota which is impossible because there is never any work on holidays.
So what companies have PTO banks or other benefits for holidays? That was the question. Thank you.
Oh sure, I'm the CEO and I own a bank, and part of the
London Bridge, and all that good stuff. SHEESH! You all ask for some good things about the company, but through your crystal ball you see the future. I still say, go ahead and leave...you'll find out soon enough that all is not well with other companies. I know - I've BTDT. EVERY company has editing positions now - it's the next phase of transcription, but never ever will ALL transcription be done by this method. I will continue to transcribe with a POSITIVE attitude, while you and your "Current Transcender" buddy leave and live with a NEGATIVE attitude. Good luck to you!
Your bank should cover you for the
fraudulent use of your card. In the meantime, please file a police report on your daughter's friend. The ATM should have photos of her. Good luck to you--that's awful.
It's in their bank account, not yours
I, too, struggled with the 401K plan at Medware because they are about 6 months behind in making the employee contribution. I finally withdrew from the plan because I could save more money on my own.
post is still in the job bank

It is DD and usually in my bank on Saturday before

Depends on your bank

Job Seekers/Job Bank
I never really noticed how many were coming on a daily basis before. They obviously haven't flocked to the other board. I think they have 7 postings for the whole month. Maybe companies just aren't hiring as much right now. I didn't notice the Job Bank before you said that. I never even think to look there. Maybe companies aren't thinking to post there, either.
you called their bank or yours?

I wonder if it is a bank thing?
See if they release the deposit before 2pm on Friday I get it on Saturday, but if they released it after 2pm I would not have gotten it until Monday. Maybe it is a bank thing?
mtjobs.com and the job bank here..sm
Both have employee jobs listed. I know Med-Scribe, Focus (don't automatically count them out, not all have had bad experiences), WebmedX, eTransPlus and a couple others are hiring employees.
Could the MT also take it to a branch of the bank...
On which it was drawn, and would it then be stamped NSF? I was thinking it might save her some money for that bounce-back NSF fee, provided it's drawn on a national bank like BofA or WF where there might be a branch close to her home.
I've never had to do this (thank goddess!), so I'm kind of taking a shot in the dark here.
My bank did it when it merged with another and I did not find out
until I got their notice of changes two weeks after they began. It was my personal account and both my mortgage and car checks bounced because of it.
MRC seems to be new around here & has an ad in the Job Bank with an Indian contact. Don't know
s
I had the same thing, not bounced but not in the bank. Will never do
it again. Once may be explainable. Twice or more there is no excuse.
I am able to pay my bills as have money in the bank but
I really would like to be able to get the check when it is due. Direct deposit and just checked, still not there. I love my job and really make a decent salary as opposed to some who are not but gosh, looks like we could get when we are supposed to. It is not like we are not paid, just not on the date we are told.
Mine is in my bank. I just checked! nm

Job bank used to have 3 or more pages of jobs.

if the check is from an out of state bank,
they usually put a hold on it.
If you have the funds to cover the check, put it in savings and transfer savings to checking. That way the hold is on the savings account.
it is not unusual for a bank to hold a
check over a certain amount for up to a week.
Are you saying your bank put a hold on your check - sm
Or that your employer is telling you that your check didn't clear because their bank has placed a hold on the checks?
I'm asking because I worked for an MTSO who would always pay late or bounce checks and claim it was his bank's fault as they were placing extended holds on his deposits thereby funds not being available - supposedly.
If it is your bank, then yes, they will place holds on the check until the funds clear the bank - anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, depending on their policy.
If it is the MTSO, run, don't walk, away from this company. I had this happen to me back in 2005/2006 and believe it or not, it is still happening and it is amazes me that companies like this can continue to do business this way.
bank account freeze
To anyone out there who is considering working for Preferred Transcriptions in Pennsylvania, I would say, keep far, far away.
My bank recently notified me of a 15-day hold on a check of theirs due to the account being frozen which means that it has a hold on it due to creditors. On top of that, they never pay on time. Most companies will pay in two weeks but here it is always at least three weeks after submission of invoice.
Have had no satisfaction from the company who are basically putting it on me. They said the check has cleared but refuse to provide documentation and are now ignoring my e-mails.
Will probably have to go to small claims court and just maybe, I will get my money. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
She's having a good laugh all the way to the bank
Aren't you the one that signed on???????? The jokes on you MT.... You alone darling! Have fun when the work runs out, and then you'll realize why these other MTs posted about TTD's scam in the past, and now trying it one more time to see if she can find any other suckers to work a set shift as an IC.
My 401K is in the bank and nothing has been lost
that way.
Wow, where do you bank? Mine is not there yet .. getting a bit nervous. :( nm

JUST SAY NO TO FIVE CENTS PER LINE!!!!
ESL??? Good Dictator????
IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was making 5 CENTS PER LINE BACK IN 1989!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I sure can't support my family on the same wages I made back in 1989, now, in 2009!!!
This is TWENTY YEARS LATER!!!!!!!
In 1989, my rent was $350/month.
In 2009, my mortgage (signed for in 2003) is $850/month.
I live in a house that is now considered to be in a
*low-rent* area!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I'm mad!!!!!!!!
JUST SAY NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya know, my grandmother always said talking to yourself means you either have $$ in the bank, or
you're losing your marbles!! Will the real MQMT please stand up? or sit down?
Mine also can't seem to get the amount right and it is always the bank's fault. sm
right!
Unless you cash the checks on the bank they are written on, you
have to cash them against funds in your own account. That's how the banks cover their behinds on NSF checks.
I meant bank---LOL...not enough coffee this morning...
