Hello I have been working for MedTrans for quite a while now. I have had 2 checks to not clear my bank, and I have just been informed that I along with other hard working people will be receiving a 10% cut in our pay, because after 3+ years they have just realized they are losing money. Beware!

RE: Bounced checks
I had this happen to me recently too twice and I will never work for that company again. That is not good business. 
Bounced checks
Check with your state. Bounced checks are a criminal matter, and each state has guidelines for you to collect your money. Here it's through the DA's office.
BOUNCED CHECKS

Bounced checks again at D&L
This is not the first time this has happened and there was always a good reason but has anyone else had checks bounce from D&L Typing Service lately or is it mine and their reason is valid? They seem to be hiring, so they have money coming in - and always a lot of work for me - what is going on? do these people really have that many problems with a bank or do they not put the money earned by their company into the account like they should? I am not working for someone else's bills to be paid, I am working for mine. I see a lot of posts asking about them but no one ever responds - is this the norm for D&L Typing Service - have I just been lucky until now? Does any one pay their employees without bouncing a check? Can anyone be honest with me please.
bounced checks
I just want to remind everyone who has allowed the MT companies that bounced checks on you all, and in turn causing you to have bounced checks - that even if they reimburse you - your credit is screwed.
D&L is scrambling to make good on checks and if they succeed many of you will forgive, may not forget, but you will continue working.
Have they paid you late fees, interest, have they made up the credit problems you now have.
Why do we allow this to happen? I am so fed up and tired of this nonsense. If any company does not pay you on time as stated in their hiring information - fine them, charge them, and certainly if they bounce checks Press Charges. Do not accept their wink and apology - they will continue to do this with you or others.
bounced checks
There are multiple posts here on the subject especially lately - contact the DA office and press charges, contact the labor board and file claim. If they decide to cut and run, claim bankruptcy - your claim will be there and you could potentially be reimbursed, otherwise potential loss. Do not let these companies get away with this. Post the name so we can all be warned. A bounced check from another person could still ruin your credit - nothing can make that up.
bounced checks
Donot let them get away with it - Recently a company hs been noted on here bouncing thousands of dollars worth of checks - sent out replacement checks and those funds are no good either - there is a web site to post for civil charges and national charges - you are entitled up to 500.00 for each check they bounce once demand has been made - file your claim now. If I could post the site I would - Google - national check fraud center - all information is there
What about pay..on time? bounced checks?
nm
Not them but CorT bounced my friends 3 checks. nm
.
present those bounced checks to your employer - sm
when you were hired, you were told when your paydays would be. There was no warning or notice made ahead of time that paychecks would be late. THEREFORE, your employer is responsible for the bounced check fees that were caused by the direct deposit being late!!! This is for direct deposit only - NOT FOR PAYCHECKS arriving by mail. Checks arriving by mail could be held up as a result of the postal service, carrier, etc. Therefore, your employer is not responsible for checks bounced because of that.
If ONE of my checks EVER bounced, I'd be gone. Obviously there are pay issues. I agree with you
in that I also smell mgt. I mean truly numerous people always complaining about pay issues and yet ONE person does get paid on time.. very fishy to me. I smell management. Time to move on
Cut in pay/bounced checks/losing money
I have worked for this company for quite a while now. I have been very happy with them, until recently when they decided that they were going to cut my pay and other hardworking people's pay by 10% because they are losing money. They have had these accounts that they are losing money on for 3+ years and are just now realizing they are losing money. I have also had more than 1 of my paychecks to bounce. Beware!
response to bounced checks and "too picky"
Please, do not let those untrue postings affect your decision to work for The MT Group.
This is Melanie (the one who posted the job for The MT Group). The MT Group was started in 1996, and we have NEVER EVER EVER EVER bounced someone's check nor shorted the check. We ask all of our ICs to turn in their line counts at the end of every pay period. If they do not match what we have, I contact the IC so that we can compare. Very rarely do I need to go that far. When I put in our job post that we are honest and fair, I was being honest. I was very discouraged to read that posting.
As far as pickiness about spaces. It is common knowledge that there should be two spaces after a period, and yes, we do expect that. I can't help but think that the person who posted that reply just had a big problem with using two spaces.
And moodiness?? Who was moody? The transcriptionist?
Klaar....habitually late and a multitude of bounced checks..
The owner has no sense about this at all. He will wait until you call to say your check is late and then say he will over-night it...right. And there is NOTHING like paying your bills with your paycheck only to find out 10 days later that the paycheck bounced.
Burn me once....shame on you
Burn me twice ... shame on me...I moved on. Some people are still struggling. Also, just if anyone is interested. It is actually illegal to bounce checks and you can hire a constable (around $75 I think) in the town/area of the office to arrest the person writting the bad check. The person will be taken to jail and will have to post bond to be released. I have considered doing this but I am from a different state and haven't looked into the details of doing it out of state.
those bonus checks aren't extra money...you would just get tw bigger checks rather than 3 checks
don't kid yourself 
A few days ago, there were messages they were bouncing checks, writing bad checks, etc. Search the A

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

I was IC w/them and checks came on time. First checks were FedX'd to me on time! I left due to an
s
I have bounced around (sm)
from company to company looking for a job that I enjoy, pays a decent rate, respects me as an employee, and understands I am a human being with a family, home, etc. And finally I found all that at DeVenture! I could not be happier.
Also, paid time off is calculated individually, not some artificially low hourly rate that punishes those working the hardest (and making the most) when they take time off.
check bounced
i got a check from cortmedical and it bounced. they have still not bothered to pay me. it has been over one month since i have been trying to get the check from them but unfortunately i still have not got it yet.
if you're being bounced around
on different accounts -- have you ever talked with your mgr? asked to be left on your main account the majority of the time? Do you communicate?
I see the stats -- as should you every day -- there is NOT a lack of work at SL, and i have seen no difference with the new MTs being on-board (affecting what i am given in the workpool), experience no obvious problem with cherry-picking.
You know communication is a 2-way street -- if you are unhappy about something, talk to your manager -- try to effect a change, unless you'd rather complain of course.
Bounced check?
I would call the National labor board ASAP and report them. They will get your money to you and possibly take legal action against the company. Good luck!
Bounced check
What do I do with a bounced check from an MT company?
Bounced Check
Unfortunately, the owner is avoiding everyone...I want to take legal action.
bounced check
Please let us know who it is from so we do not go there. You can use initials.
WELL THE CHECK BOUNCED!!
OK, another update-- THis chick paid my friend but THE CHECK IS NO GOOD!!
She won't answer her phone. She gives lies on IM.
So the MT has now worked an entire new pay period and likely won't get paid for that either.
okay, this is what most people do when they get a bounced check - sm
they take the check to the police, who in turn will file a report and then an arrest can be made. I have been in this business 18 years, and yes I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE ARRESTED!!! The absolute hardest state to get this done in is in Florida, but if you know the right people and can push the right buttons, it can be done.
Now, ETRANZ is in GEORGIA, so start doing the leg work and stop waiting for the checks. If this business files for bankruptcy, you may be S*** out of luck for any check, depending on how it is done. If this company is filed as an Inc, then you may also be SOL because of the laws in various states.
So stop calling them and contact your police department.
Tried to e-mail but it bounced. You download from
a secure site, usually via an FTP site that your company has setup. You download to a folder on your hard drive, the same as if you were downloading music or a program. You then use a foot pedal connected to your computer that is compatible with the software program to play the files. There are still lots of companies who for some reason have not converted to digital files though, or require you to be type into their system live.
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.
Sounds like my job now except I'm being bounced from account
to account with all totally different client profiles. On the 10th different one today already.
I have been there 4 years and never had a bounced check. sm
I have and always have had FT work, greater than 1400 lines a day.
you are correct. Newbies aren't sure and bounced around.

AccustatEMR's direct deposit BOUNCED....
I heard that all the direct deposits BOUNCED, even for their office staff...anyone out there got the scoop? Have they lost the accounts they were on? What's gonna happen to their MTs?
Direct deposits can bounce too...and CTS bounced those as well!
nm
Does anyone work for the Buffalo/Amherst office of MQ and do you get bounced around a lot on
accounts or do you have a main mostly. What can you tell me about these people.
They only paid me half of what I earned and it bounced - three times.
stay away from them as far as you can!
apparently didn't work so well, that check she sent bounced! DMF!
sdfad
Tried to send you a msg, but it got bounced back. Can you give us the initials of this place
s
Yours may not but mine does, in fact, they posted a charge and it bounced (inside)
as I thought my check would be there. I could have avoided this by moving money from my savings account but I forgot.
I got 3 checks from them...sm
Before I even cashed it, I called the bank and found out if the funds were there to cover it. Each time, NO FUNDS were available. Deb Garrison needs to get out of the business. Seems like she and her husband are paying themselves very well BEFORE they pay the MTs. Crooks, deceitful, and liars to boot. She will talk all sweet to you on the phone, their ads lie about 8-10 cpl...what they do NOT tell you is that they pay only an 8% allowance for spaces, so they don't pay for spaces. You have to type your fingers to the bone before you even make 100.00.
Bad checks or no checks
OMG you so remind me of a guy I worked for in Washington State back in Jan or so of 2004. He got downright nasty after I threatened him. He owed everyone working for him several months of pay. Boy do they make out when they close up and have kept all those paychecks for their own pockets. I found a site on the internet to put in a claim for internet fraud since the work was done over the internet. The FBI is supposed to look into these people and I'm sure they would if enough people went to the site and filed a claim. Working over the internet makes it so easy for them to rook us. I never did get all my money. The guy claimed that he had to deduct money for the QA of my work. My contract never said a thing about QA costing me something. His name was James Cronus and I dont care if someone did sue me for slander. I dont mind putting someones name out there when they are truly crooked. How else are we going to protect ourselves? I will never ever give up giving this guy a bad name to protect someone else. If we all stick together on this stuff its going to affect them eventually so we just need to keep after them so no one will apply for their jobs and they will have to go out of business.
Checks
It depends on your bank. Mine is always there direct deposit available to me on Saturday, but does not actually post until Monday, but funds are available on Saturday. HTH
SPi checks
Got mine on January 5, Fri 9:30 a.m., as promised, live in Miss. Pay periods were changed recently to end on Sun midnight instead of Sat. Didn't know there were still 2 diff. pay periods. I was paranoid too but it was OK. Just had to drive to bank and deposit.
I always wonder about those who say their checks
Were you a high producer before this mystical change took place?
Are you on new accounts?
Do you refuse work?
Have you fulfilled your work commitments?
I'm just curious if you were a high producer who mysteriously has lost lines and, if so, how come?
There is usually more to the story, as I have always found out.
I used to hear people at another company I worked for complaining about running out of work and their checks getting smaller and smaller. Then I went into a supervisory-type role. That's when I found out that most, not all, but most of those complaining about this would:
1) Not want to do any other work except their assigned accounts, therefore, limiting themselves in times of low work;
2) Were not the greatest producers in the first place and when I would give them tips that add up to greater lines, they were not interested in those tips. They want some big miracle, instead;
3) Would not keep to their work commitments. If they were to supposed to work 6 hours a day 5 days a week, they would end up working only 4-1/2 or 5 hours and not keep good commitments to their schedules;
4) Were not interested in learning anything new - they only want to type what they want to. Well, sorry but this is an ever-changing business and you have to evolve as much as the company and the industry does or you will be left with dwindling available work.
The Checks
My initial thought when the idiot told me - THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CHECKS. Hello??? How do you pay the bills? If you online pay bills through your bank, add me and my paycheck to that list!! At least I'll get paid!! But A BUSINESS....NO CHECKS???? As in nobody thought to order a few more then got down to the last 25??? OMG!! That was enough to scare me out of their employment!! NO WAY!! I need reliability, stability, an on time paycheck....How does one plan on paying bills if you never know when you're getting paid. Example: Payday was supposed to be 5/23...per their remarks on about 5/19 when I asked...TODAY I GOT MY MONEY - 6/2...SO EVERY CHECK WOULD BE 11-13-15-20 DAYS LATE??? I also questioned Jennifer's ability to even sign me up for direct deposit since she didn't think to order checks before they ran out? Couldn't and didn't put a stamp on an envelope and mail me a check via snail mail? But trust this person to successfully execute direct deposit when in fact she had the number to my bank so she could call and discuss wiring my money - she never even called them - was on her way to a play for her kid...SO QUIT THE JOB, QUIT THE GAMES, RAISE CHILDREN, WORK WHEN THEY'RE 18 - SOME OF US HAVE BILLS AND OBLIGATION AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT HER FAMILY LIFE! Hate to be heartless - but that's a fact. I like my bills paid so I can have family time. I don't know who this company subcontracts with but the mismanagement is unbelievable!!! Personally, I would take a job with the contracter they sub under for job security and a paycheck!! LOL!
pay checks
sounds like we have issues that need to be discussed in a more professional manner. i have not intentionally distanced myself from anyone and if you have tried to get me and could not - then we do have a problem. just in case you don't know how to contact me, my email is tonya@mediscribes.com. my phone numbers are 210-858-5867 and 210-849-7442 as posted on this website previously and given to each and every transcriber that i have hired. i look forward to either receiving a personal email or telephone call from you and getting these issues taken care of. also, i did reply to your personal email link on this site as well. if you are leaving our company, i would like the opportunity to provide you with a recommendation as well.
Pay checks
I haven't worked for Breitner for very long, but I get my checks mailed to me and usually have them within a couple of days of payday, unless there is a holiday or a Sunday involved. I got my check in the mail this morning, two days after payday. I was told at my interview that paydays are the 20th and the 5th of each month.
JLG checks
I went with Fed EX DIRECTLY to my bank -- no problem other than first check -yes it IS money out of your check -- no more than $20 a pp but my checks have been in the bank and on time quit griping
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.
DR background checks. sm
I stated the part about DR giving out names to marketing companies is a LIE. Yes if you are going to be a hospital employee, HELLO, you have to do what the hospital requires, not a DR requirement. Although I am physically 2,000 miles away from my account, I had to take physical just as if I were walking into the door of the hospital to work, as that is what the hospital requires of all employees. You are treated just like a hospital employee. Yes the physical exam and TB test were a pain in the butt, but it was so worth it. Guess it depends on what you are looking for. As far as credit check, background checks, I told my team leader I was concerned as I am not exactly Mother Theresa. She told me not to worry. Everything went fine and I a will never be an IC again, I will retire with DR.
payroll checks
is there anyone here who is as tired as I am of bounced checks, late checks, etc.

They held the first one for four weeks then mailed it out, and now it just gets later and later- I have two others I work for I sent myinvoice and got a check within three days. is there a logical reason for this over and over again?
