They are clear that they post the checks for the 1st and 15th and the banks determine when they are

I do know one thing though from talking to someone about increasing my 401k deduction, that they did not realize that Monday was a holiday or they would have pushed them through for today like they did for New Year's Day's check. That person also told me that starting next month, if it falls on Saturday, it will pay on Friday, if it falls on Sunday, it pays on Monday. I joked that I knew she did not have kids or she would know that it's a school holiday and I was right! Those of us with kids know more of the holidays because we have to keep track of days off.

Pay period ends on 15th, checks on the 20th. This
is pretty standard industry-wide.
The whole post is not even clear, but even if it is her
will report they are paying her? Hello? 
those bonus checks aren't extra money...you would just get tw bigger checks rather than 3 checks
don't kid yourself
I never worked for KS but her post was very clear to me
that the people she was talking about did not work for KS, but the account.
did not make IT cleAr in your 1st post
that you are scared about your paycheck!
Now I understand COMPLETELY!
what a clear, honest and refreshing post, thanks, Alice..nm

Redeposit it. Most banks will allow you to
deposit it 3 x, and they charge the account of the person who wrote the check $35.00 for each time it was redeposited. Maybe that will make them sit up and think before writing a bad check again.
A few days ago, there were messages they were bouncing checks, writing bad checks, etc. Search the A

I would change banks, they are making interest off your paycheck for a day.

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

How can you determine it was "scraps" without even trying it first? Perhaps sm
you'd be better off in a management position as you feel you are qualified to make management decisions.
In my 30+ years of experience, I've learned that the dictators who complain about their transcription are usually the best dictators. They know there is no reason for resultant lousy transcription.
Good luck.
How to determine count
I am getting paid per line and not familiar with this as i am a new IC.
I know you divide it by 65... Do you then take that number and multiply whatever the cost per line is( i.e. 6 cents)?
You have to determine if it is good for YOU.
Does it matter what others think? Doesn't it only matter if YOU can make it with that wage?
I had 2 different pay rates for different worktypes at Spheris one time. I made BETTER money at the lower rate because it was easier work and I could produce more of it hands down. There were many MTs who wouldn't touch it because the base rate was low. But you know what? Those same ignorant MTs just complained and complained over not being able to make it on the higher-paid work because they couldn't the production they wanted. I laughed all the way to the bank.
I don't care what others make. If the work suits me, I like it, and I can make what I need/want with the rate, that's fine. What difference does it make to me what others think of it? Nadda.
Don't let these people talk you out of something that may work very well for you, especially because of THEIR perceived pride or refusal to work for X amount.
I usually work both jobs until I determine that the new job is really all I thought it would be. 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

1st and 15th pay
I know for Keystrokes, there are no 'waiting' days in between. The checks are in the bank on the 1st and the 15th, so Im not sure about that one!
15th and 1st
nm
Usually around the 15th
My surgeons usually give me 1/2 of my average monthly invoice, another office invites me to their potluck and small gift exchange. The doctors give out small gift cards to us. Regular employees might get larger bonuses, have never compared. I think it is nice what they do for me and I truly appreciate it and do not take for granted. Another one is a very small office and the gal and I go to lunch usually her treat between Christmas and New Years. I make them all goodies, Chex mix and cookies or warm muffins first thing in the morning and give a nice calendar personalized with my name on it. Yep I appreciate my accounts.
1st and the 15th nm

Pay periods run from the 1st through the 15th, and sm
the 16th through the end of the month. They have a LOT of different accounts, so I don't think there is any way to comment on the ESLs. Like anywhere, it will vary from hospital to hospital. And yes, line count is attainable with FT work. Hope this helps. I'm happy there!
I'm paid 1st and 15th
NM
No it isn't. Pay is the 1st and 15th for employees and sm
2nd and 16th for ICs. It is for the previous two-week period.
For example, the period that just ended on 4/15 will be paid on 5/1. It is two weeks, not six.
I think people should have to be giving facts on these boards, not rumors. Call the companies directly. I am sure they all have similar pay structures; the last two companies I worked for were just like this and the hospital I worked at prior to them was as well.
Question regarding 1st and 15th pay -
This has nothing to do with Keystrokes, I work for another company. Pay is suppose to be on the 1st and 15th of each month. I get direct deposit and my account is not credited until around the 6th and 19th. When management was confronted, I was told this is standard.
On the 1st and 15th of each month
They have direct deposit and always pay on time.
Yup, twice monthly on the 1st and 15th.
NM
1st through the 15th, 16th through the end of the month. nm
Payday supposed to be 1st and 15th.sm
Received it 10 to 15 days after that date. I do not think we are talking about same company. I worked for BTS, not Sten-Tel.
Does Keystrokes pay on 15th and 30th?nm

PS This was Saturday the 15th, payday
NM
Not sure if it is still true, but they used to pay once a month, on the 15th, sm
and no direct deposit. I almost took a position with them, but that kind of backed me off. Good luck!
The pay periods end on the 15th and the last of the month. sm
As the other poster said, generally we are paid witihin a week after that. I think the latest I have received my pay was on the 10th. It is true that it is a bit odd not having a set pay date, but at least I can sure I will be paid. I read horror stories on here of companies giving bad checks or not paying at all, and it makes me cringe. I am my sole support, so if I do not get paid, my world turns upside down in a hurry.
If you are considering working for them, I wouldn't let that back me off if I was you. They say the techs are working to fix it so that the line count doesn't have to be done manually, so perhaps in the future, it will be better.
Pay period is 1st and 15th of every month
I submitted my timesheet on 08/31 after working 2 weeks to be paid on the 1st. They have direct deposit and the check is not in my account.
Usually pay period ends on the 15th and last
day of month. Then you get paid somewhere around the 22nd for pay period ending on 15th and get paid around the 6th for pay period ending on the last day of the month. If you work as an IC you may could expect pay one day after submitting an invoice, but if you work for a company it takes time to process payroll and then if DD it has to be submitted and it takes more than 1 day for that.
When I worked for KS took me almost a month to get my first check.
Paydays are on the 1st and the 15th, unless it is a weekend, then sm
it is the following Monday. Welcome to Keystrokes -- hope you love it as much as I do. 
My co also pays 1st and 15th or is supposed to but nothing about 4th and 20th so must sm
not be the same company. So there are more than one out there who should not be in business obviously!
Direct deposit on the 1st and 15th of the month. nm
They do direct deposit on 15th and 1st of each month.
nm
pay 7 days following payperiod end: 15th/30 or 31st
xx
I am paid prompty by DD on the 15th and 30th
for the lines I typed the previous month. Sorry to disagree with you, but there are no standard practice of pay as an IC. Employees should be paid promptly on the expected date, whether that be every two weeks or on the 15th and 30th of each month. 
I know that payday is on the 15th, but since the 16th is President's Day, sm
do you think we will be paid on Friday like we were last payday? This is only my 2nd payday, so I was just curious. If I have to wait until the 17th, then so be it. I don't want to be lectured by those I have seen about people expecting to be pair early. As I said, it happened before, and I just wondered. Since it is getting late and I have not yet received an email with my paycheck stub, it is looking like probably not.
Thanks!
When I was hired I was told the 15th and 30th, but
handbook says 15th and last day of month. I sure was disappointed.
Paydays are the 1st and the 15th. If the payday falls on a weekend sm
the official rule is that we get paid the following Monday. However, the last 2 times it fell on a weekend and it was a Saturday, we were paid the Friday before (yea!!). There is a listing of all of the official pay dates for 2009. You should ask S for it.
It is clear now. Thank you...sm
I felt silly asking the question, but you all have answered it clearly to where I understand and I do appreciate that greatly! Thanks so much!
Just to be clear....DRC is (sm)
Digital Records Corporation in Santa Clara, CA, right? I think the website I found for them was relyondrc.com
Now that we are clear on KS
I, for one, would really like to hear who else refuses to offshore work.
maybe I was not too clear.
I did not want to talk about work on FB, but to know some people with the same company. See where you live, what you're interested in...If i had specific questions, like when we were having audio problems or something, I could directly msg a fb coworker and see if they figured out anything. Other than that, about all I would say are generalities like how I'm working today or such. I'm not going to be less than professional with any forum. I just like the idea of knowing some MDI people. Shoot, if the liaisons were interested, I'd invite them! In fact, I actually searched to see if they were on FB. Its just kinda fun to feel connected.
let me be clear
In case you did not read my other posts and I was clear...
This company hounds us to work overtime and refuses to pay us overtime..breaking the law.
During the slow time, this company expects us to sit at our computer for our entire shift waiting for work to come in the cue and we do not even earn minimum wage while we are doing this...again breaking the law, which is why people call him and complain they have no money to pay their light bill.
We are expected to get 1200 lines a day. The 800 lines a day is a minimum if an emergency happens, and then you are still expected to get at least 12000 lines in by the end of the pay period.
This particular e-mail is offense to me, because the only times we have been behind on TAT is through no fault of any MT. In May, the owner took on 50 or so new docs and did not hire people to do the work. We were sent numerous e-mails telling us that the owner was not happy because he had to pay a fine for each late document. How was this our fault? Now, we are behind because this company did an upgrade and we COULD NOT WORK. This owner is NOT giving cash advances..lol. He refuses to even pay us what we earn in overtime and the slow time!
I WANT TO MAKE THIS CLEAR. (SM)
Do NOT post identifying information. Even initials and stop with the ridiculous sly tactics some have resorted to in order to give out initials.
I am watching this thread closely.
You'd probably be lucky to clear $12K - sm
so if really want to MT at home, do the schooling, get a PT job and work at night until you can in make $1K a month. See how long you have to work in a day to do that. IF it is 4 hours a day 5 days a week, great, but if you are working say 6 hours at night, then you will need to work at it. I doubt you want to work at home but work 18 hours a day to make your $25K a year at first.
NO, they cannot. I have been abundantly clear about this in the
past and for some reason the message doesn't seem to be getting through.
So, I will again post in hopes that all will fully understand.
The only way anyone would know anything about your posts is if a company subpoenas us for the information and to date that has never happened. When you post and you enter your email address, no one knows what your email address is. They can email you, but the only way they would know your email address is if you reply back to them. IP addresses are not revealed in any manner on this site. Now, I will say that if you make a post and your supervisor can recognize your syntax, then he/she can certainly make an educated guess, but it didn't come from anyone at MTStars.
So, with that said, if anyone has issue or questions about this, you need to bring it directly to me and not post assumptions on this website. We have been in operation since 2001, offering this site for free, not to mention along with a lot of freebies given over the years, and low cost softwares available that no other MT site remotely thinks of offering. I have helped a number of people over the years through charitable events, gift giveaways, mediating between the MT and MTSO regarding unpaid wages and the list goes on. At this point, I am offended and fed up with the trash that gets posted on this website when it costs the poster absolutely nothing to participate, including unfounded assumptions such as the one made above. As I post this, I must also say that if visitors of MTStars cannot post in a kind manner, don't post here. Go somewhere else, as the mood of this site is to promote a friendly, harmonious atmosphere.

Maybe I wasn't clear sm
I have used the toll-free number for several years and was given that information when I first started typing for them. The same is true of their toll-free help line number. The toll-free number is listed on their website when you sign in or if you call and ask for it they will give it to you, but I was given the toll number at the beginning. I think they automatically give their local, toll, number sometimes, not really thinking about the toll-free one.
