I am changing banks and so they are going to mail me this paycheck - I am in California so I was curious if anyone could give me an idea of how many days it would take roughly for the check to arrive.
Mucho gracias!

Speaking of PT and my interview - check this out
They said PT was at least 20 hours a week. 8 hours were over the weekend, and the remaining 12 were during the week - either three 4 hours or four 3 hours. Glad they said that up front in the interview, because after that I said no thank you. The whole thing took 30 seconds. I had heard enough to make a decision. Good luck to you all, I know it is a tough thing you are all going through.
Check your E-mail.
I sent you an E-mail from my other E-mail address. You can reply to that one or to my Yahoo address.
IS THE CHECK REALLY IN THE MAIL?
I worked for a company for about a month. Upon our initial discussions it was mentioned they paid once a month. I said I could not do that because of getting burned in the past. They said they could do twice a month so I accepted the position. First check for the 15th was not received until I believe the 27th as they had surgery and could not tell me when their husband mailed it. Hmmmm. The second check should have been mailed on the 1st. I was told on the 5th that it went through online banking on the 4th. Now I'm being told that it takes 7-10 days for online banking. I never signed any type of contract and mentioned that I would call the doctor myself and ask if he paid them for the services performed. Now I'm getting, I'll press charges if you do that. I'll check with my bank tomorrow and if you don't receive it by the end of the week, I'll pay you through Paypal. The only thing with that is, you lose money. Can you believe that!! I'm sorry, I just had to vent. Oh yeah, I took Friday off and I was away. I wasn't ignoring you.
IS THE CHECK IN THE MAIL?
I am happy to say that I was paid today after mentioning I may have my fiance's law firm contact the physician and being told online banking would take 7-10 days. I was paid immediately via Paypal and although I lost a few dollars with their fees, it's better than waiting 17+ days for a check. My final check..I'm done. Gant Transcriptions in Texas is the name and excuses is the game! One for every occasion. I just hope she pays anyone else she may owe. It's awful what we have to go through to get a paycheck, and then made to feel like we're wrong for asking. I guess I'm the only one who works for the money. Sorry, but the thrill of it went out the window with the paycheck that's in the mail..lol..
if they mail you your check sm
contact US Post Office at 1-800-275-8777 and go through the prompts - Delivery Services, Delivery Assistance, Delayed Mail, Customer Service, Document lateness. They will take down all the info (where it is being mailed from, where it is being mailed to, type of service (first class etc), and estimated value) then get back to you with what they find out within 24 business hours. I just called them about Lee Perfect being late (again) on my invoice - have been told one too many time it is because of the Chicago post office! Good luck!

Check your Bulk Mail
I was wondering why I didn't receive a reply and decided to check my bulk mail/spam - there it was.
sm - I sent you a message - please check your e-mail...
I have a couple more questions - if you wouldn't mind taking a minute to answer them I'd appreciate it!
just checked my mail, no check

Check lost in mail :(
Hi. Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced this problem... I'm afraid my check that was mailed on June 4 has been lost in the mail :( I have a new mail carrier, and lately we have been getting a lot of mixups with our mail. I am going to go to direct deposit when I get this check. I am so worried as I am the only one working right now, and we have a family of 5 with 3 little ones and desperately need my check. This happened once before when I moved out of state and worked at MedQuist, and it was a horrible experience. They needed to wait a few weeks before issuing a new check after stopping payment on the one lost in the mail, so my check was about a month late. I am already behind on rent, so I am worried. So far I love my job, and I'm hoping the process will be a little easier with SoftScript...Has anyone ever had this happen to them?
Check your bulk mail or spam
directory. I thought I had been overlooked too, but the response was in my junk mail.
Go ahead and think that until check is not in mail Monday . . . nm

I get mine check by mail with no problems
I work for the Q and my checks are mailed to me. They come on time every time. I have never had a late paycheck with them. I have worked for companies who consistently pay late and left because of that, a definite deal breaker for me no matter how good everything else is with the company. One day late and I quit working until check arrives, this from experience with not getting paid at all for two weeks of work at one place. My bills have to be paid on time so payday has to be dependable. I have been messed up by a bank computer glitch with direct deposit twice in the past and that is why I have gone back to having my checks mailed.
I work IC for a company who pays by check in mail
Never had a bounced check either. I can see why you would worry though. Maybe they will do the switch eventually.
I get my check on Monday or Tuesday by snail mail . sm
After bring home peanuts from MQ, it is worth the wait!
Check is direct deposit and we get the stub through e-mail....

spheris background check
Does Spheris do background checks and if they do-for what reason do they not hire??
I'll have to check into Spheris
I looked at them before and at the time they were starting training that you had to pay for and then they would hire you after graduation but if they are straight hiring I'll have to try them again. I'd rather have 3 job offers than none!
Spheris. How long does it take...
for them to get back to you once you have submitted your application? It has been a couple of weeks, and I haven't offered the test yet.
Thanks, I've been with Spheris but not that long. nm

Any Spheris MTs who have quit, how long did it take to get deposit SM
for computer back? 
Your fine as long as your employee, but if your IC, dont hold your breath waiting for a check.
Only employees get direct deposit. If you opt to be an IC, the checks may or may not get out and you may or not get them on a certain day.

I didn't get the e-mail but I just sent you one and gave you my e-mail addy so (sm)

Yes - regular mail and my reg mail stinks, so let them know.

Does background check include credit check?
You are welcome for my speaking up
When you allow anger or dissatisfaction to control you for this length of time, you are not a healthy person. Please, for your health, mentally and physically, just let go and move on. I have had plenty of negative experiences in my life, but if I were to allow them to control me the way this negativity seems to control you...well, there are lock down facilities that would be happy to sedate you! Get a l-i-f-e!
Speaking of QA
I had spelled a Midwestern town Fond du Lac. Lost a whole point on my QA because of it. The Zip code book was wrong they had Fond Du Lac, but QA went by the Zip Code Book. Don't you just feel like we have to walk on water all the time?
Speaking of D & L....
Anything new on them? Seems pretty quiet on these boards the last week or so. They must be getting it together.
Only speaking for myself
But I've found Transcend to be a very good company in many ways. Being paid on time, staff is helpful. I initially had some issues with not getting any feedback but that's been squared away. I'm on the Meditech part and this is quite archaic as is the hospital system I'm working on but so what, it works. I have plenty of work and have only run out on the holidays but you will Anywhere you work. All in all its been a pretty good experience and I'm more than happy I switched from MQ to here. Oh yeah, and the pay is better than most I've found depending on your experience of course. Be ready to ask the recruiter lots of questions and take notes.
All you can do is try it and see.
Good Luck :D
Speaking for myself
I think it's one of those things that happens in a split second without being consciously aware of-- like spelling a word but getting an extra letter in it; some part of my brain hears 5 Keystrokes instead of 4, or I might only hear 6 keystrokes when there should be 7. It isn't anything that I try to do; it just happens. I assume it's the same way as in music you can 'feel' when you've not got the notes to an unfamiliar melody you're playing from sheet music just right. It just happens, and is part of what my family and I jokingly call me typing while the force is with me.
Speaking for myself
I believe a living wage, and not a wage that I will get rich from or even be comfortable from, is a minimum of 9 cents a line, and I don't even live in a high cost of living area. Frankly, I don't know how the people NY and CA do it these days...I was able to 15 years ago easy, no more.
I believe I'm worth at least a penny a line more than that, but accept the harsh reality that I will not see that unless I set up my own service.
The 9 cents I mentioned above is harder to earn than ever- one of the side effects of VR is that the money-making dictators, the ones that enabled us to make up for the crappy ones, are now on VR, so there is no balance in what we type.
Call me greedy, but I think a skilled transcriptionist, the ones who are able to type the crud that's left after all the Dr. Smiths and Dr. Johnsons have gone to VR, deserve at least 11 cents a line, taking into account what it would cost for one VR person and 2 editors to produce the same report a lot faster.
Speaking up
I'll happily name a company. I work for Transcend. Yes, the evil Transcend. And despite all the absolute negativity I read on this board regarding them, I am very happy there. I make a very, very good line rate, make a comfortable living, have a wonderful ROM and TL, and usually have plenty of work. On the few occasions the work has been low I have simply asked to be cross-trained on a new account or a new platform and have been accommodated.
I fully believe that you get back what you put in. I know that change in scary and that a lot of people are facing some huge changes right now. I was part of a merger recently too, and I was very anxious and scared. But at least TRY to make a go of it. Change is not always a bad thing. All the negativity that people spout off here is not helping anything, not changing anything, only making people angry and causing them to feel sorry for themselves and hate anyone who is making a successful go of it. I think it's very, very sad.
thank you for speaking up
We need more people like you who will champion us.
No problem :) No matter how long, it is too long for me - I am broke the day after payday. Kids wi
do that to you!
I know that they have worked very hard to make sure that checks are never late and I can say that in the past two years, I have had one problem (2 days late) and in the past 18 months, they have all been on payday and perfect.
I know that there are a lot of hard feelings in MT in general. I also know firsthand (and I am not mgmt) how hard KS has worked to get things going good.
I would not want to walk in an MTSO's shoes for any amount of money, but that's just me. I like to finish my work for the day, forget about work when not working and get paid on payday. I never want the other things that go with mgmt or owning a company of any kind :)
Sorry, this is Warminster MQ I am speaking about.

Speaking of taxes...
when paying self-employment tax, does that include unemployment taxes? I was thinking of filing since it looks like finding another job may take a long time.
Please share what you are speaking of.
Sale to whom?
Speaking as a recruiter, an MT myself as are many
I know who are recruiters, dealing with attitudes like yours makes me feel like this entire job is thankless! What the heck am I working for to do a good job? Huh? I go out of my way to be helpful to the MTs that I interview and test and to respond to their questions as best as I know how to respond. The answers I give are the ones that are given to me by my employer so I am as truthful as they are to me and I know other recruiters who also try to do their darndest to be as honest as we can.
So WHO GETS THE BAD RAP? The recruiter apparently if our company does not give us truthful answers so basically I do not feel much like being a recruiter anymore. I am personally offended at the attitude of the MTs towards the recruiters because I have to tell you that being a recruiter takes a good 10-15 hours a day of work as well as it is a 7 day a week job. I HAVE to abide by YOUR schedule MT. If you cannot interview during the day, I have to interview you at night, on weekends, or whenever I can get you.
I am plain sick of this thankless job and it is my desire to get back into training (oh, but wait--I believe you label trainers as not being very good don't you?...or maybe I will go QA full time...oh but wait, I believe QA is your dreaded enemy!). So, what is a recruiter to do? I personally have learned the programs that an MT uses for my company just so I an answer the questions that the MTs have about the program.
I am sick of the attitudes on this board and on others as far as recruiters go. It is never the fault of anyone but the recruiter apparently because you are the most narrow-minded thankless people I have ever come in contact with and if it were not too late to change fields, I would run as far from this profession as I could.
speaking of their own servers.....
anyone have a problem with Dictaphone while working on ExText adding up lines sloooooooowly as in they don't start to show for 3 - 4 hours and then trickle in???
Speaking of radiology, does there seem
Thank you in advance for any information you may have.
Second QA person here speaking up.
With my current company the finished reports are available to the MT - we cannot leave personal feedback - every company has different systems and different ways of processing the work - I wish I could leave feedback for particular MTs - and I know when I was an MT and had a question working with one particular company I never saw completed reports - this is a company problem - not QA or MT problem in most instances.
speaking of ethics
Can someone tell me how they would handle a situation in which the TASP you are typing on is also an MTSO. I was told initially they were not a transcription company, and later found out (thank you internet) they are indeed. I would like to keep competition close, but that is pushing it.
Speaking of Ron Paul...
This may belong on the Gab board or political board, but since you mentioned Ron Paul, we got some literature on him during a parade last month. I like what I read so far!
Paul Honored as Taxpayers' Friend for Tenth Consecutive Year
Anybody know more about him?
what company are you speaking about? nm
.
I stopped speaking out because SM
in the past, they had cheerleaders who came to this board who would attack people who gave true information regarding the company. It may look like the archives have little information and the reason they do is because a lot of the posts about DR have been deleted because the threads degenerated into name-calling.
The same people who attacked still work for the company (management), so I wouldn't bet that things have changed there.
Barred from speaking out
There you go! If they have spies they know they are not all that good, because if they were, no need to waste precious time trying to find out how they are perceived. Their actions shoud speak volumes. Aren't opinions and shared true experiences allowed?
If you are speaking of the posts down below...
If you are making reference to the posts down below, no, we are not talking about Ascend. I have never worked for Ascend, so I can't shed any light for you.
You are speaking to all of us, by posting
on an internet forum. Your posts are all over these boards, between MQ board and company board. I stand by my statement. Your dialect, writing style, is NOT American. I could care less what your ethnicity is, but you are pro-Indian ownership of MQ and criticizing us for our feelings. You speak, or write, with an Indian dialect. Believe me, Americans can pick it up even in the written word. I could copy and paste posts from MQ board, but the ones from this thread alone suffice: I am quoting you:
We have not to forget that all these people who perform the outscourced work are all bilingual!
By not accepting to work for a foreign employer, you shoot youtself into your foot;
Mexican do the work US citizen do not want to do,
Your written dialect is Indian, not sure which region, but I know it is Indian dialect. Americans would not say shoot yourself into your foot, or we have not to forget...its a dead give-away, and easily picked up by readers.
You also don't get the humor of a thread on the MQ board. You just have a different interpretation of our written language, and probably spoken. Same exact way that I would have trouble with your native tongue, written or spoken. So, you are going to be supportive and more trusting of employers being of your own nationality. No big deal, just pointing this out. All is fair in debate, but for you to bash and belittle we Americans for not being willing to be employed by a foreign agency is not fair, when you are of the same national origin.
