Focus is Indian run and you'll be editing Indian
work, so seriously doubt you'll make a bunch of $$ on editing.  99% of the MTs love KS.  If you'll just scroll down the page you'll see dozens of posts about them. 
It is an Indian run company. If you'll check the archives they
have been asked about several times the last month or so.  There has been nothing good said about them. 
You'll have too much down time and their Indian techs are IN India! Pay is late, too. nm

Indian company. If you'll search the archives lots of info
on them.
Yeah, I'll be getting out of there, too.
Way too hard to make any money at Transolutions.
You'll regret it. Indian techs in India, late pay, lack of communication. nm

Yeah I think you'll need to be more specific...

Yeah, they'll promise you the world, but don't deliver.

Yeah, your posts just ooze happiness. I'll just skip over yours from now on..nm
Bubbye!
And what is required to CASH IT !!!!
What does the accompanying letter with the check say. Anxious to know . . . surely could use my money now.
It is not petty cash to us...

my DH is obviously the one who has the six figure income, which has come from hard work by working for the same company for 24 years and being the best at what he does. Though we are blessed to have this income, we know that at anytime something can happen, so we don't have any debt other than the house and live within or below our means. You won't find a boat, RV, brand new cars, flat screen tv, etc here. Too many people trying to keep up with the Jones out there. As Dave Ramsey says, live like no one else so later on you can live like no one else.

Not really "petty cash" sm
Honestly, my husband is the one making most of the money. He works 12 shifts and sometimes 14 hour shifts, rotating nights and days and any overtime offered, he takes it. So, making over 100K a year is very hard earned money with many time sacrifices.

Not everything is as rosey, as you seem to think, when you come across people making 100K + a year.

Another thing, our bills are just as high too.. and we ain't talking living in a big beautiful mansion of a house with BMWs in the driveway either. We are a middle class family, living in a middle class neighborhood with a middle class job, paying a mortgage and other bills just like everyone else.

Unfortunately, in our case, we started out in debt 20 years ago and are just starting to climb out of it slowly but surely. We finally were able to buy a decent house in a nicer neighborhood that is not crime ridden. So, I consider that good debt.



not if, like she said, it came out of petty cash -
key word petty, as in lower than required for reporting.


Probably not - I believe they are Indian run or Indian based company. nm

Go to their Indian website or other Indian websites

IC sounds strapped for cash sm
You should have been told before s/he gave you the work. Sounds like they are on a strict budget and can't pay you until they get paid, but they should have told you. Depending on how much you need the money/job, tell them you are sorry to hear but you assumed you would be receiving a weekly paycheck. Ask them to put it in writing that you will be paid and how much. Then, if you can't find anything else right away, do it until you can find other work. They shouldn't accept work they're not sure when they can pay you unless the discuss it with you first. Big issue, cash-strapped people everywhere. I don't think it's fair, but cash is king today and sometimes hospitals, etc., will wait 90 days - that's tough on everyone. She should be more strict with her own accounts and put 10 days payment or COD, otherwise s/he is going to have one nasty group (if any are left) working for her service. My heart goes out to you. I would never do this to anyone, would take it out of my grocery money if I had to, not fair to you.
can cash it but if bounces you lose

and may have to pay a bank penalty$.  I think it can take 2 weeks to clear. I guess they don't have direct deposit? Ask.  Google direct deposit procedures.  They give info on how this goes about.  If you do get the check Friday, call and ask if there are funds to cover it as you just cannot afford to pay for a bounced check.


I guess you could take them to labor board of your state.  Guess you could take to small claims court for your state.  Can google all this stuff.


Since she is talking about cash payments, sm
my next question would be whether this cash is being reported as income?  Hmmmm?
You could probably make some nice cash if -
you transcribed all that doctor trash-talking, then offered to SELL IT BACK TO THEM in exchange for NOT publishing it, or handing it over to their department-head.

Heh. Heh-heh.
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.
LOL. That was funny. I like that petty cash thing :)

That's the attitude that keeps the suits rolling in cash.
=
Don't cash it at your bank; make the trip to THEIRS
THEIR account will be charged, not yours.
I read $20 million, over $16 mil cash up front
In other words, serious dough.  I'd think a wee bonus to us 500 galley slaves might be in order.  Had many of us not been told ''MDI does not send work overseas, Dorothy would never do that'' when we were hired, I doubt we would feel so betrayed. 
Take the checks to the bank and cash them outright, don't deposit. nm
I had a similar situation with another MTSO a long time ago, and put up with it for months until I jumped to a major national. I also found out that the bouncy MTSO didn't file Social Security returns or pay my withheld taxes to the Feds. There ought to be major red flags for any MTSO who bounces checks or doesn't offer direct deposit; it could affect you in many other ways you are unaware of.
I am a shadow of my former self - angry, irritable, and strapped for cash.

lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make

Great News!! I was able to cash the check yesterday. I called the branch directly and they said-sm

right now it was good.  I do live in another state but her bank was bought by a bank that is local to me.  I went there as soon as I could get there and they cashed the check for me!!!  She owes me another small check ($84 and change) which I still have not received.  I was beginning to think that I was never going to see this $$ (the last time I was able to cash a check from her was back in January).  I guess if I bug her enough I will get my other funds.  I think she just wants me to go away which I will as soon as I get all the funds owed me.  She also owes me a 1099 but I am not going to stress over that.  I still have my records.  Thanks all for your ideas. 


Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
If you'll read through past posts you'll find lots of
recent info.  Why do you need menitoring if you already work as an MT.  Unless you do clinic work most companies will require you to work at least one weekend day, at least initially. 
If you'll read the archives you'll find out everything
you want to know, none of it good.
Probably figure you'll want Way more than they'll offer, whatever it might be. :) nm

If you'll read more carefully you'll see
I was referring to AFTER she's missed out on a job, having a friend do sort of an audit to tell her what what was wrong with her test she submitted -- not cheating.
Yeah, yeah, AND enjoy!

Indian ran?
ugggggg
They ARE Indian!!!
If you want to take a chance and not believe what you read, you will see for yourself that they are ALL Indian RUN!!!! Some people are so hardheaded....they are a horrible company and Bobbi is a real MEAN person to deal with as well....NO WAY FOR FOCUS!!!
CMT for Indian MTs
As an Editor who worked an account for several years transcribed 100% by an Indian company, I am surprised to hear they are able to pass the CMT certification exam. Their transcription was comical at best and sheer nonsense at worst.
HIS has been Indian since day one.
It has not one whit to do with AAMT.  This company tried to recruit me years ago when they were first started and they were Indian then and still have their heavy ties.  You lost your jobs because Manor Care will not be deep pockets to a dying entity any longer and can't even sell the damned thing!!  Blaming AAMT is easy.  I think the letter you got may have been from the executive director and not the President.  Each of us, has to take responsibility for the choices we make with employment and having been through a lay off with HIS I had to blame myself ultimately for making a choice to be lied to and believe it because it suited me at the time.  Offshoring is over 15 years in existence and I guess here to stay so the next time you make an employment choice be sure you pick a company that does not offshore .. in the meantime, put the blame where is squarely belongs at your own doorstep and not AAMT.
...that should be Indian MTs. nm

Indian MTs
There are always exceptions.  I emailed often with one of the Indian MTs at one time.  His English was probably better than my own.  I think he was starting up his own transcription company and he was kind enough to ask me to work for him. (I was already working, but I considered it nice of him to ask).  Really, I do think he was the exception, he was a great fellow.  He was supporting his mom, his father had just passed away.  Now he has gotten married.  I do not exchange emails with him anymore but, if there were others like him, they would do pretty good.  I do not really think that there are others like him though.  Honestly, my primary account probably has 80% of his nationality.  Wish they could type those. 
Indian.

Didn't you know this board is run by Indians??
I wonder what they pay the Indian MTs? ..sm
I guess it is now equal, we are paid the same as the Indian.
did you mean by chance Indian
.
So is that why the new US MT supervisor is Indian?
?!?!?!?!
I was doing some research on Indian
MT companies and from what I can tell probably all work is done in India.  They do hire U.S. editors, or at least they used to.  
So, are your editors Indian?
I highly doubt it.
Indian company (nm)

That is correct! I don't! Obviously if you can tell they are Indian....
