Working at bank one thing, but MT? Not justified, IMO.

for ANY company or MTSO ever. They aren't all requiring background/credit checks, and I wouldn't even say most are, probably just certain ones and you could ask here about which ones do.

I wonder if it is a bank thing?
See if they release the deposit before 2pm on Friday I get it on Saturday, but if they released it after 2pm I would not have gotten it until Monday. Maybe it is a bank thing?
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.
there is no such thing as the FDIC Bank Watch List

I used to work for a defunct GA MTSO that did the same thing. I always went straight to the bank and
The other thing to watch out for these companies who constantly bounce checks is that there may be other illegal stuff going on behind the scenes, such as not paying appropriate employee withholding taxes or health insurance premiums. My old MTSO never did send my Social Security contributions to the Feds for over a year. It's part of why I stay with the big nationals. They have their problems but I know my paycheck is always okay.

It depends on your bank not Keystrokes when they post it. When your bank opens it will be there, ar
Hope this helps. Their payroll department is very efficient. In fact, I feel dumb beside them. Very professional (not that they make me feel dumb).
What I don't understand is how they justified hiring a whole bunch of new MTs
when the rest of us are scrambling, scraping, praying for work? Anybody have any insight into THAT? (Forgive me if it was discussed and I missed it!)
Going through the same thing. Wondered if you are working for the same company..
Can you give us a clue who you are talking about. I think it is who I also work for if their name just has initials. If it is, then I will tell you what a big part is...they are overhiring for the wrong accounts and acting desperate on other accounts. Ridiculous. Someone does not know how to organize the work flow.
This thing about working 40 hours for benefits is garbage.
So if I do my usual 20,000 lines a pay period but only work 30 hours, I lose my benefits, but a newbie who takes 40 hours to do 12,000 lines gets benefits? This is insane. I've enjoyed working for MedQuist, but between this lousy new platform and stinking corporate rules, I've had it. My notice goes in next week, and I'm going back to school this quarter to become a P.A.
where is the job bank? please? nm

OSI has no PTO bank
OSI has no PTO banks and has stopped paying extra for holidays. You will be paid extra only if you type minimum line quota which is impossible because there is never any work on holidays.
So what companies have PTO banks or other benefits for holidays? That was the question. Thank you.
Oh sure, I'm the CEO and I own a bank, and part of the
London Bridge, and all that good stuff. SHEESH! You all ask for some good things about the company, but through your crystal ball you see the future. I still say, go ahead and leave...you'll find out soon enough that all is not well with other companies. I know - I've BTDT. EVERY company has editing positions now - it's the next phase of transcription, but never ever will ALL transcription be done by this method. I will continue to transcribe with a POSITIVE attitude, while you and your "Current Transcender" buddy leave and live with a NEGATIVE attitude. Good luck to you!
Your bank should cover you for the
fraudulent use of your card. In the meantime, please file a police report on your daughter's friend. The ATM should have photos of her. Good luck to you--that's awful.
It's in their bank account, not yours
I, too, struggled with the 401K plan at Medware because they are about 6 months behind in making the employee contribution. I finally withdrew from the plan because I could save more money on my own.
post is still in the job bank

It is DD and usually in my bank on Saturday before

Depends on your bank

I never really noticed how many were coming on a daily basis before. They obviously haven't flocked to the other board. I think they have 7 postings for the whole month. Maybe companies just aren't hiring as much right now. I didn't notice the Job Bank before you said that. I never even think to look there. Maybe companies aren't thinking to post there, either.
you called their bank or yours?

mtjobs.com and the job bank here..sm
Both have employee jobs listed. I know Med-Scribe, Focus (don't automatically count them out, not all have had bad experiences), WebmedX, eTransPlus and a couple others are hiring employees.
Could the MT also take it to a branch of the bank...
On which it was drawn, and would it then be stamped NSF? I was thinking it might save her some money for that bounce-back NSF fee, provided it's drawn on a national bank like BofA or WF where there might be a branch close to her home.
I've never had to do this (thank goddess!), so I'm kind of taking a shot in the dark here.
My bank did it when it merged with another and I did not find out
until I got their notice of changes two weeks after they began. It was my personal account and both my mortgage and car checks bounced because of it.
MRC seems to be new around here & has an ad in the Job Bank with an Indian contact. Don't know

I am able to pay my bills as have money in the bank but
I really would like to be able to get the check when it is due. Direct deposit and just checked, still not there. I love my job and really make a decent salary as opposed to some who are not but gosh, looks like we could get when we are supposed to. It is not like we are not paid, just not on the date we are told.
Mine is in my bank. I just checked! nm

Job bank used to have 3 or more pages of jobs.

if the check is from an out of state bank,
they usually put a hold on it.
If you have the funds to cover the check, put it in savings and transfer savings to checking. That way the hold is on the savings account.
it is not unusual for a bank to hold a
check over a certain amount for up to a week.
Are you saying your bank put a hold on your check - sm
Or that your employer is telling you that your check didn't clear because their bank has placed a hold on the checks?
I'm asking because I worked for an MTSO who would always pay late or bounce checks and claim it was his bank's fault as they were placing extended holds on his deposits thereby funds not being available - supposedly.
If it is your bank, then yes, they will place holds on the check until the funds clear the bank - anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, depending on their policy.
If it is the MTSO, run, don't walk, away from this company. I had this happen to me back in 2005/2006 and believe it or not, it is still happening and it is amazes me that companies like this can continue to do business this way.
bank account freeze
To anyone out there who is considering working for Preferred Transcriptions in Pennsylvania, I would say, keep far, far away.
My bank recently notified me of a 15-day hold on a check of theirs due to the account being frozen which means that it has a hold on it due to creditors. On top of that, they never pay on time. Most companies will pay in two weeks but here it is always at least three weeks after submission of invoice.
Have had no satisfaction from the company who are basically putting it on me. They said the check has cleared but refuse to provide documentation and are now ignoring my e-mails.
Will probably have to go to small claims court and just maybe, I will get my money. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
She's having a good laugh all the way to the bank
Aren't you the one that signed on???????? The jokes on you MT.... You alone darling! Have fun when the work runs out, and then you'll realize why these other MTs posted about TTD's scam in the past, and now trying it one more time to see if she can find any other suckers to work a set shift as an IC.
My 401K is in the bank and nothing has been lost
that way.
Wow, where do you bank? Mine is not there yet .. getting a bit nervous. :( nm

JUST SAY NO TO FIVE CENTS PER LINE!!!!
ESL??? Good Dictator????
IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was making 5 CENTS PER LINE BACK IN 1989!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I sure can't support my family on the same wages I made back in 1989, now, in 2009!!!
This is TWENTY YEARS LATER!!!!!!!
In 1989, my rent was $350/month.
In 2009, my mortgage (signed for in 2003) is $850/month.
I live in a house that is now considered to be in a
*low-rent* area!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I'm mad!!!!!!!!
JUST SAY NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya know, my grandmother always said talking to yourself means you either have $$ in the bank, or
you're losing your marbles!! Will the real MQMT please stand up? or sit down?
Mine also can't seem to get the amount right and it is always the bank's fault. sm
right!
I know personally that when DD hits the bank, I can take it out right then and thus withdrawals can
It does not take 3-5 days. That just is not so.
As far as it being the MT's fault, it is the MT's fault only for relying on their DD to be there! Sorry, but when DD is supposed to be in there, it is supposed to be in there. I have two bank accounts, one is for bills only and that is the one where the DD hits. If my DD were late, I would incur charges. Luckily I work for a company that pays on time and you can always rely on them to have that money in the bank on time.
Unfortunately, some of you work for the MTSO who apparently cannot do that and apparently there are more than one of them.
They should offer to pay your late charges due to their lack of responsibility. However, when the MT has had this happen once, I would hope they would learn their lesson than to rely on doing it again because apparently the MTSOs that do this have no conscience.
Unless you cash the checks on the bank they are written on, you
have to cash them against funds in your own account. That's how the banks cover their behinds on NSF checks.
I meant bank---LOL...not enough coffee this morning...

They don't send work to anyone. Period. You can take that to the bank.

Today is not payday. DD will be in bank tomorrow. nm

Mine has been in the bank midnight Friday and
I have promised to pay some bills Saturday morning! I sure hope that I don't get into trouble over this. I know they say we don't get paid til Monday, but if the money has always been there before, why should we assume different! I will be in some real trouble if the money is not in the bank midnight tonight. The bills don't wait til the weekend is over the money is due now. Why would they not communicate a problem with us? Before I have a fit, I am going to assume it will be there. Why assume the worst if they did not say anything right? (she asks nervously).

Not personally, but seen this happen to a few when I used to work in HR at a bank - sm
Sorry you are going through this. I know when I worked in HR at a bank we absolutely would not consider anyone no matter how nice their resume if they had filed for bankruptcy or even had a bill more than 30 days late. You may want to consider another alternative. Best wishes to you.
Anybody get direct deposit in their bank today ?????
They say it is my bank, but my bank has never made mistake before.
Hold it now !!! -- I know payday is Monday --- but money is usually in my bank on Friday. I certainly wish all involved with payroll, including payroll company, would think about this when holidays roll around.
No work yesterday on my regularly schedule day, no work this morning, stay logged in -- I hate being changed to computer waiting 24 hours a day for a job to trickle that VR threw out.
The sun'll come out tomorrow - saw in my bank that it's scheduled to go through then. (nm)
nm
WHAT?? It is the bank, not the company that decides how it posts. sm
I have been there for 3 years and we have always been paid that way. Many, many times it is posted on the Friday before but we know to count on it the next business day.
My bank is open Monday. Maybe yours is too.
They said they did not get their paystubs, which means it wasn't SENT to the bank. sm
And I guess you are special because I do not know of any banks in my area that are open on President's Day.
I do not work there anymore. I was just trying to warn the new people that this is just one of the many caring things they can look forward to during employment.
I'm just curious -- where do you bank that is open on President's Day? sm
I mean no harm -- I am just truly curious. I just moved to the Denver area from Kansas, and there is a chain of banks here that is open on Sunday, which was a surprise to me just with that. I didn't know that there were banks that were open on holidays too -- that would be great! Well, sorta great ... I'd get my deposits anytime, but then again my checks would come bouncing an anytime too ... oops! LOL 
I haven't worked at Keystrokes very long, but they have been fair with me. I am disappointed that I have to wait until Tuesday to be paid, but it certainly is not a deal breaker. I have a part-time job as wlel. But I have certainly been in those situations where a day or two was critical, so I emphathize to those who truly NEED to be paid as soon as possible.
Anyway, again, I meant no harm by my post. I just am truly curious about banks that are open on holidays.

Don't cash it at your bank; make the trip to THEIRS
THEIR account will be charged, not yours.
