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 hope you're right. I've been waiting 4 wks for an ID - still waiting! nm

You are right not to hold your breath
Sorry, but as much as I'm for the concept of free enterprise our system of cRapitalism breeds corruption and greed. Watch for this industry to be further diluted with regard to quality, benefits, pay, etc.
That 'doesn't' mean good jobs aren't possible, just that ever since the cRapitalists discovered there is $ in transcription, the industry was exploited... and the winners will generally 'not' be the worker bees. The 'new' generation coming into the field will not have the history (memory) of what it was like before, and because these jobs will still be higher-paying than many others, and allow one to work from home, finding 'worker bees' will likely not be too difficult, especially with the advent of VR...
Sorry to be a bummer - hope I'm proven wrong on this.
Don't Hold Your Breath
She does have a brand new $60,000 vehicle to pay for first.... Guess where her priorities are?
thanks.....you are a breath of fresh air! NM
Take a deep breath
I for the most part have been a lurker for the most part.....lol. There have been times when I have read some things that have been posted and wondered about the poster's state of mind, but for the most part I take what I want to take and I let go of the crap. I have made a decision NOT to read the political part of this board. I do read an occasional Gab posting. I check out the company boards mostly and occasionally check the Job Seeker's board. If you feel that you need to leave then I'm sorry to see you go as there needs to be people who are of the mind set to be POSITIVE and RESPECTFUL of others on this board. If you leave then that is one less person. So I hope you stick around and simply do what I do: Let one eyebrow go up and then say hmmmmm. Unhappy people do unhappy things.
Don't hold your breath.
Especially if you are part-time.
I agree - I came from MQ and WMX is like a breath of fresh air. (sm)
Working the extra 5 hours per week is nothing compared to having pay reductions, benefit reductions, constant monitoring to make sure you are on line EXACTLY when you should be, having as much as 32 - yes, one day I had 32 different accounts to work on.
I have only been here about 5 months so far, but everyone has been pleasant, helpful and just generally makes my working less of a chore and more of a feeling of team effort.
Prolly wasting your breath, she's not even
A rising tide lifts all boats equally. (The reverse is also true.)
Ditto to all you said. Amphion is a breath of fresh air
Don't hold your breath. You won't get an answer. There are posters (or maybe just 1) that s
come on here, make ominous statements and never answer questions for details. They are just troublemakers.
Axolotl MT -- take a deep breath and re-read . . .
Wandering MT's post. You were a little harsh. Why did you feel the need to rub it in her face that she didn't pass the preemployment test? I mean really, I'm sure that stings bad enough without you bringing it up again. I interviewed with Axolotl back August. They sounded great, but I decided to accept a job elsewhere.
Honestly if everyone there is as high and mighty as you come off, I'm glad I decided to go elsewhere!!
I wouldn't hold my breath on more money
The entire medical field seeks perfection. Have you ever been a patient? If so, then would you want someone saying that they will not do a good job if they are not compensated for it? I'm sure there are plenty of MTs that will work for 5, 6, 7, and 8 cpl and the company they work for still requires perfection. I think you're being unrealistic. If there is a company out there paying more than 9 cpl, then let's hear about it other than someone who has been with the company for 10+ years. This business is going down in salary and certainly not up, and yes they do require perfection. Why shouldn't they?
I would rather know what they expect up front. I love working there. Breath of fresh air sm
I was with the Q for 12 years and started with Keystrokes a year ago tomorrow. I am fast and accurate and had no problems with their requirements.
They are definitely worth taking a look at. I make more money with them (at 0.09 per line now) than I did with MQ at 0.11 per line. Better accounts, no huge pool, plenty of work.
They are growing every year, every month it seems and do not lose accounts.
I am glad I made the switch.
If you do not like what they tell you upfront, try somewhere else. I liked having the information without having the ask 50 million questions and not knowing what to expect.
You are doing better than I am. Still waiting...
...on the paycheck. Maybe those 100% gals get the debit cards, and those idjits, like me, who mess up a comma, don't get a debit cardiac?
(Kidding, kidding, antcipating my debit card with high excitement.)
Still waiting on MQ
not getting my hopes up, of course. Happy MT Week!
Still waiting...
I'm still waiting for mine 
Anyone else still waiting for W-2 from DSG?
They said they were sending it out this week. Sure seems SLOW this year.
What are you waiting for? Get out now! nm

I'm still waiting.............SM
for someone to reveal how they know that the account has been lost. There appears to be at least one individual who enjoys starting rumors of QT's demise on this board, and we have survived these rumors before. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. I'm not leaving my job based on what appears to most of us to be pure rumor, at least to the majority of employees. If anyone feels they know the truth and can tell me how they know it, please divulge on this board or e-mail me. Thanks.
You will be waiting until the 15. They
do not process your check the day you send in your time sheet.
waiting...
It would be considerate of them to at least let us know what is going on. They have not said one word about going to VR with any of the accounts. I have been with them for years and it's very unprofessional of them to ignore us and expect us to just sit back and wait until they have work for us to do. Yes it is a slow time of year, but FN has been slow across the boards for the last 8-10 months now, even with picking up new accounts. How does that make sense?
waiting
Why wait that long...would email or call, things get lost and forgotten especially this time of year, at least you would know instead of waiting and wondering...
Waiting here too
impatiently, I might add (LOL) . . . just my personality. I wonder how long it will take to hear back. I know she is busy, but hopefully we'll know soon since she is looking to hire quickly.
I had some trouble with #1 also.
I'm not waiting around for them to get their act together sm
My bills won't wait until they get another account or whatever it is they are planning on doing. My bills aren't tolerating this cut in salary, either. I have to think of me and my family. I have juggled everything as much as I can juggle it and now I am making the decision to get out. I can't stand doing 12 hour days for a bare minimum paycheck.
Also waiting
Yes, I also thought it has been strangely quiet. The first week after the announcement, there were e-mails asking for our input and questions, and now nothing. I hope the early signs of willingness to work with us and keep things that are working don't just die on the vine.
waiting for work
For anybody that has worked with transform..............Have you have experienced this. I have been waiting for work to be asigned to me for four hours. Yes, they asign work to you......................I have been with this company for two weeks. I made a mistake, I put the wrong date of service on a report...............................So I am wondering if this is the reason why my e-mail has not been answered, nor my phone calls, nor AOL messenger. I have not made mistakes with medical words, at least that I know (although I have not gottent a lot of feedback). I have been transcribing in this particular speciality for 7 years, so I don't think I made huge mistakes.
Have anybody experienced this?
I'm waiting for them to take the spaces
xx
Waiting for mine too. sm
Not to scare you, but it took 6 weeks to get my first one. I was shorted on both checks too. Were we supposed to get paid the 15th? They are always late so I do not know.
I have been waiting all night for - sm
someone to say that. I feel better already!
WAITING FOR WORK!!!
In your response to FutureNet. I am currently working for them. It is a good company, easy platform, great people, but I am waiting for work as I type. I think they have over-hired, we are now caught up and out of work. Doesn't pay the bills!
Soon to be in the poor house
Waiting for work
Do you have other accounts with FN? I have four and if work is REALLY low I wait and do work for the other service I am employed with. We have several new accounts coming on and some of them are still in the testing stage. But it is also that time of the year.
Waiting for work
I also have 4 different accounts that I can work on, so running out of work doesn't happen very often for me.
I think it's a yes to all. I use ShortHand. Waiting to be set up for the
s
Thanks! I'm waiting for W2s from Precyse and MQ, as well. nm

Waiting to see what rates are!
Wow, $400 a month is higher than I'm paying now and I thought it was high! I currently pay $340 a month for family but the coverage is very good. I did hear that they have a new rate plan coming in. I will wait to see what I hear from this change. I have to have good insurance. My husband does have some health issues.
One last question....can someone tell me how soon insurance starts when you hire on with Keystrokes? Do you have to wait 3 or 6 months or does it go in effect on Day 1? My current job insurance went into effect Day 1. But they are outsourcing some to India starting this month and I'm afraid we may all be out of jobs soon. Doesn't look good. I may check into the plan to just purchase myself and not have to worry about changing jobs, etc.
Thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it.

Waiting for Future-Net
About a week ago I received an email from Future-Net stating I had passed all the testing and a recruiter would be contacting me....I am still waiting a week later. Is this normal for them?
TIA
still waiting on my paycheck
this company is a joke
still waiting on my check from TTS
@#$%&
Still waiting for an answer.
I did all my testing and had my phone interview with the recruiter and Jean but have not heard anything back. Last communication was on Monday. They seemed really intrigued as I said I would work 6 hours on Monday and Friday and 4 or more on Saturday and Sunday. Should I call them or just keep waiting? I have lots of experience with ESL's and currently work in an acute setting. Seemed like everything they wanted to hear. How long does the hiring process normally take? Thanks in advance.
still waiting for computer to come
here. Just trying to get some understanding of platform before starting.
Patiently Waiting...
I can tell you that I have applied with nearly 30 places--and I'm starting to regret it!!
I researched each and every company before I applied, so I'm sure that I applied for great companies. But now I'm being bombarded with requests to test and emails and phone calls.
I've had several offers, most of them very promising, so it will be fairly hard to decided.
The downside is that there are still about 15+ companies who stated on their website that it can take a week or two to get that first contact from a recruiter. So if I accept one of these job offers in the next few days, I think I'm still going to be getting bombarded with phone calls and emails and testing requests.
Of course, I'm not complaining in a bad way!! I'd rather have it this way than no phone calls at all. My first response came within 24 hours and I even received a response today from an application that I put in on Monday of this week.
I don't know if any of this answers your questions, but I hope it at least helps you a little...
I'm still waiting on work
this morning but haven't had anything come up for over an hour.
Yes, I did. I was waiting to hear from...
MQ, but so far no word from them. USAMedTran got back to me first, so I accepted the job. They told me I would only need a foot pedal and Microsoft Word. From what I have read, this company is pretty known for hiring newbies or MTs with minimal experience. This is why I applied there. Money is not my biggest priority right now - I am 22-years-old and live at home. I do need any experience I can get though, so I'm hoping this will go okay. If you want to get in touch with me at any time, my email is ericj1985@gmail.com
Do you all believe there is actually a waiting list...sm
to work for this company (if you can even call it that)? I wonder if they pay through PayPal because of the ease of having payments reversed or chargebacks like on eBay. Anyone who has ever sold on ebay knows PayPal has high fees. The MTSO may have more control with PayPal. Does that make sense?
You've been waiting since May?
I think someone needs to get a clue....
I'm on 40+ hrs, but 15-20 waiting for some work. nm
How about WAITING UNTIL THE CALL? sm
Before JUMPING to conclusions?? Holy cow. Unreal. I think it is to announce how well we are doing and talk about all the new work we have.
I am just waiting for my hospital IDs sm
and I can start. Everything else already cleared and I can't wait!!!!!!
Waiting for work
I guess it is just the same with all these companies, but it can be so irritating when your supervisor gives you the morning update on minutes and is thrilled that all accounts are empty and says how great it is. Why do they not understand how distressing this is to the MT?
Just sitting her twiddling my thumbs waiting......
waiting for work (sm)
I'm getting fed up with it too. I think they have way overhired, and I'm thinking it may be time to move on. Sick of spending 12 hours on my computer waiting for 7 hours of work.
