Sorry, but I have the paychecks to prove otherwise

Posted By: KSMT2 on 2007-11-15
In Reply to: KeyStrokes and $30 hr? - fast2

Every account is different, and I lucked out and got two great accounts. My main account is a super easy ER account with heavy templates, which we get paid for, and I easily do 400-500 lines per hour on that account. My secondary account is a basic 4 hospital account, which gives me really long reports, and I usually do about 300-350 lines per hour on that one. So, it is possible to make that much money there if you focus and work hard.

LOTs KS' MTs paychecks prove otherwise (sm)

$$$$  Mine included.  Just do a search of the Forums and Archives.  No need to beg for work with Keystrokes!  If anyone has to beg to work with them to begin with it's probably because it is not the right fit.  Calling to follow up on job interest and begging are two different things.  If a company is in transition and very busy, then that's it, they're very busy. Just take it as that not as a luminous sign.


That's it for me!


How do you know this? Prove what you say.

You can do this but you need to prove yourself
They are a wonderful company. But, they work slowly watching you progress, in my experience. At first you start on 5 jobs a day and when you are released you are given a primary account with 24 hour turn around and you need to meet your line requirement. As time passes if you continuously meet line and quality requirements, you can ask for more accounts. If you stay flexible and are willing to work nights and weekends this is a plus too because there is more work at those times, everyone wants day. There is no set schedule, but you if you can be there when the dictators and backlogs are that is best. As well, if you have unlimited LD and not just thei internet the whole combination will ensure you a long full-time career at MDI. There are a lot of variables. And you need a lot of patience, but it can be done. Good luck to you!
Nobody can prove to me that I sent
an email if I DID NOT !

'DOUBLE EYE ROLL'
Because they can dig up enough liars to prove it.
We believe it because we need to.

- the schools get away with it the same way every commercial on TV, in magazines, and every other form of advertising gets away with it.

What about recruiters? They only tell you what you want to hear. They even get rewarded for being good liars.

The truth is, no school is needed by anyone to become an MT. Recruiters are unnecessary for ethical companies. Word gets around and they need all the bodies they can hire to combat the truth by coming on to boards like this and expounding on *all the money they make* - it is hard to know who to believe because they do it so well and we want to believe it.

Hope for the future? Yeah, right. How do you pay the bills NOW?


Which prove the point that
when ops calls asks someone if they can help out on an account, they have no idea if would put you into overtime or not. It's up to you to say, sorry, I can't, it will put me into overtime. Easy as pie :)
Well, I do, and have the pay stubs to prove it.
Sorry if you don't believe me. I didn't think it was possible either until I started at KS.
I can't prove that they offshore, but...

I have seen things that lead me to believe that they do, at least sometimes.


I don't think they really have backlog issues.  Yes they do send out a lot of emails saying we need everyone to help blah blah blah, but the work always seems to get done in time.  With times the way they are, it seems there are plenty of people willing to work overtime to help pay the bills, so others of us don't have to.


 


 


 


I was just curious how they can PROVE it was you, is all. nm
:
Do not think they care if they can prove it. They just

I do not think they care if they can prove it or not.  If you watch any of the daytime Court shows like Judge Judy, it is almost impossible to prove Defamation of Character.  I think Transtech just wants to send a message that they are watching the MTStars Board and are not afraid to try to track you down if they do not agree with what you post.  It is just intimidation to prevent anyone from being honest in expressing their opinion.  The Music industry did the same thing to prevent people from sharing free music – bring a law suit against a couple of people and everyone else is afraid to try it. 


All it does is cost the defendant money to have it thrown out – and we all know how rich Medical Transcriptionists are that they have attorneys on retainer.  LOL 


 


 


12 cpl to prove you can and will work - Deal?
Deal.
Wouldn't they have to prove who the poster is and could
it being given to them by the administrator of this site? With providers such as AOL and Yahoo, that takes a court order. Is the private information of the people who post here at risk of being divulged to others not affiliated with the management of this site?

Also, how is it you come to know about this endeavour?

(this is not a flaming question, but one asked sincerely)
Let NM prove one thing you said was not true!! Is not possible.
and you were sure right when they are sticking it to you, in the same breath is you'll be so excited!
Appreciate your kind comments, but TT can prove itself on its own.
Don't pay attention to the naysayers.
TT does well and earns money for its employees to provide a safe good environment and job. All of the things we already know about TT on the board and in our lives speak for TT. It is nice of you to defend against naysayers, but TT can speak for itself and already has. More of these kinds of posts will just fuel the troll fire.

See my post below about breadwinner, defending TT's transcriptionists who provide health insurance for families. This kind of argument is a waste of time.

In other words, I think perhaps we could let other people on these boards talk about their stuff. And if we don't and keep up with this cycle, well that's okay too. People like me will quit looking on here for interesting new things and will work extra to make more money anyway. IMHO
Just did not want you to get your feelings hurt when you were trying to do a good thing.
And your posts more than prove my point!

You know companies that are hiring part time? Post their names on this board in answer to the original poster, for Pete's sake!  There are thousands of hits a day on this site, and you think just 1 person is interested in a part-time position? You just want to help 1 person?  Nope - I would say that your response has been a prime example of exactly what I was warning others about - someone who appears totally innocent, offering job help, but it has to be private.  That goes against the fundamentals of this board. The majority of MTs who have no gain in any shape or form simply post the name of the company that might be hiring - nothing private necessary. Unless, of course, the person who just happens to know a company doesn't WANT the info public. And when the innocent MT gets involved and takes it one step further, a big mess can happen, just as your postings have shown.  Again, my initial intent was not to spotlight you. You did that yourself. If I was in a vindictive mood, I'd even be tempted to post what I guess now are your initials along with the companies you happen to think might be hiring part time. LOL.   


Again, how can they prove it was here that posted that comment. nm
:
This is the thing that TT will use to prove their case
If you agree with the poster DON'T post your agreement!

Keep it to yourself.


Make sure you can prove your facts before posting, please.
This does nothing but create confusion. I talked to someone in management there today (I'm not with Webmedx) and if anyone knows what they're doing, this person does. They are NOT shipping their work out! Now they have clients who choose to share their work with India, but that's not something Webmedx can control, nor does it reflect on their business.

Chicken Little, make sure the sky is actually falling before you speak next time.
Nope. The PC is mine. I bought it and I can prove it. sm

I spoke with someone at Webmedx who told me that what they are monitoring is the VPN traffic and not the any of the MTs PCs.  He said that would be illegal. 


I don't know if this is the truth or not, but I have found some handy softwares to protect myself just in case this criminal act is happening on my PC. 


when you sign a contract, you prove you are not an employee
if the company is looking for work done when they NEED it done, it is not called an employee.

Sorry to burst your bubble,but if they tell you what is expected and you agree to it, then you are contracted to do that work when they need that work done.

You all can argue all you want, but the facts are the facts. They do not have to use you as a contracter. They can find someone that is willing to do the work when the WORK IS AVAILABLE.

Appeal it & make them prove misconduct.

So easy to say you had 73 as you cannot/wouldnt want to prove that. All heresay at this point
s
Prove it to me then. I'm open for discussion. You can email me at admin@mtstars.com

QT paychecks
Question for current QT employees who have their checks direct deposited but when are they due to go into the bank?  I have lost track of the DD dates after recently having moved and want to make sure that my check goes into the bank. I know check from the 15th went in approximately 7/21, but one of the office gals said hers was already posted and want to check before I call the office tomorrow  -- thanks
Did anyone ask if we would be getting our last paychecks at QT? sm
I totally forgot to ask if they would mail them out right away since we received little notice or if payday would be normal date or not at all? 
Paychecks
Not like that anymore. If you want direct deposit, yes, they do charge, but it's reasonable. Better than waiting on a paper check. Pay is ALWAYS on time.
Re: JLG paychecks
Just a thought but what about having your check sent either Fed Ex or UPS? There was a company that I worked for and for a fee, they sent my check to my home. Since I had some problems with UPS delivering my check to me in a timely manner, we finally ended up having it sent directly to the bank and it was deposited like a direct deposit.
JLG paychecks
FutureNet also mails paychecks or sends them Fed Ex -- with JLG, I have it set up to be DD'd directly to my bank since my bank is out of state, with no local branches
paychecks
The payment is sent out on the 7th, so yes you would get it on the 8th. You just have to plan ahead. I know sometimes it gets aggravating, we all need our paychecks right now, but I would rather know it is the 7th and 22nd then to just guess, and at least we do always get our paychecks. I've read a lot on here about people not getting paid at all.

Cut them some slack, the company is growing quickly. It will take time for everything to fall into place. A previous poster said awhile back she would give them a 6-7 right now but is sure they will be a 9 to work for soon. I agree.


JLG paychecks
FN is another company that does not offer DD, at least they did not before or it was based on a certain period of time with a certain amount of lines done in that period of time. The excuse from FN was that too many MTs signed up for DD, then 2 months later, changed banks -- go figure
MTS paychecks....sm
A little slow and ALWAYS shorted. Oh but wait...he'll just catch you next paycheck.....Oh, my mistake, totally forgot....excuse after excuse after excuse.
JLG paychecks
Does JLG still mail checks late? I'm really interested in this company, but cannot afford to not know when I might get paid.
Late paychecks. sm
Company I work for always behind. Paydays supposed to be 1st and 15th, and pay from 2 weeks behind. Invoice on 1st is paid the 15th. They now say payday is 4th and 20th without saying anything ahead of time. With wait on first class mail, I average a paycheck about every 25 days. It is terrible.
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?????
Wish they would consider MT's paychecks before hiring all those MT's, tho

Huge accounts are not to be seen yet.  We long-timers are just out of work/low on work because of all this hiring craze. 


TT, hurry up and bring on all those monstrous accounts, because it is going to take those to keep the the influx of MT's you have hired in order for us current MTs to have work and ability to pay their bills!


Should be LOTS of KS' MTs' paychecks...nm
.
So our paychecks will be cut by the new company, right?
Did not go inhouse as anticipated.  Just a liaison, she is.  The previous company was so accurate and on time.  Hope this one is the same, if they are the ones cutting our paychecks for us.  M in the office is only a go-between, right?
Sten-Tel Paychecks
Has anyone working for Sten-tel had trouble getting their checks on time the last couple of times?  We are suppose to get paid on the 15th and they send them out on the 15th (which I think they should send them so you get them on the 15th, but that's another gripe).  I always use to get them 2-3 days after that. Last month I didn't get it for over 10 days and right now I still don't have this month's check yet.  Just curious what is going on all of a sudden.
Late paychecks

Small MTSO's sometimes use company funds to pay their personal bills as well, so if they have a lot of bills or something unexpected happens, there goes the payroll money! 


Well, all I have to say is they sign the paychecks
and if you don't like it find something else, but you never know, this may happen in a new job too.
Whatever it takes to keep our paychecks low
They put us on ISR so we'll be faster, then confuse us with multiaccount specifics x2.  By the time we get it all straight, the account leaves.  Its just a sneaky ploy to keep our production low as we have to stop and refer to account specifics and fiddle with QA picking at us.  Heaven forbid they should put 1 person on 1 account done a single way with 1 set of rules - she might get fast enough to actually make money.  Lets put 20 people on 10 accounts with 20 sets of rules, then nobody will make squat, except maybe QA.
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!


RE: Breitner late paychecks

I have worked for BTS for 2 1/2 years now and NEVER has BTS been late with my check or deducted lines.  They pay for exactly what they said they would pay when I was hired.  You have to take into consideration the mail system.  BTS can't do anything about that.  Why didn't you opt for direct deposit?  It's a wonderful  and sure thing.  My money has ALWAYS been there on time every time. 


YES, BTS is hiring and I strongly recommend them.  I have been there for 2 1/2 years and have NEVER run out of work.  If I'm low (which is very rare) I'm given another account to help with.  The account manager is very understanding and accommodating if you have sick kids, appointments or whatever.  I've worked for sevral MT companies and I have to say this is the best one that I've found.  Thank you BTS .  Oh I must add, I have recieved a Christmas gift every year too along with something for MT week. 


 


NSF Paychecks Eight Crossing in Sacramento
Paychecks being returned for nonsufficient fund on multiple occasions to multiple MTs.  Beware.
Had trouble getting paychecks a while back.
Don't know how it is now.
So, after all of the hoopla about JLG paychecks being late, sm

are current employees satisfied with the outcome/explanation/etc.?  More importantly, would you recommend that someone take a job with this company?  I always heard good things about them in the past, but that was a long time ago. 



PAYCHECKS SHOULD BE MAILED IN AN APPROPRIATE MANNER . . .
SO WAS TO ARRIVE AS CLOSE TO THE DATE OF PAYDAY AS POSSIBLE. NO EXCEPTIONS. To be happy you got your paycheck 5 days AFTER payday? NOT ME.
Speaking of late paychecks....
What is generally the cause of late paychecks? MTSO says their big client has not paid, thus delaying payroll. But I have to wonder if there are more things going on than what they say. Thoughts? Experiences?
Three consecutive paychecks over $500.00 makes
you eligible for DD enrollment was the last I heard about it.
glad you had no probs with paychecks sm
last summer (two months - 4 invoices) I got ... zip. Endless e-mails, leaving voice messages, etc., FINALLY got everything caught up only to be told they were late because she was out of town?! Again, you are lucky; my experience was otherwise.
Banking infromation and paychecks
Not to be nasty here but sceniaro being paper check in purse and going some place to cash it or to store before bank and someone steals it along with your identity -- I am with a small, stable bank, military based but as long as it is DD they have accounts open to anyone (barring bounced checks) with this particular bank, if I run out of $$ before the beginning of the next pay period, they will advance me up to half of my last DD.

Only had a couple of problems and that was a company who paid me weekly many years ago and tried to put my DD in a nonexistant savings account -- bank knew from deposit records and realized it was a goof -- bottom line don't panic unless its a rotten bank
