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!
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?

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....

Speaking of Spheris - How long does it take to get check in mail?

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!


How do I access MQ Internet mail? I'm registered on Q-Net but don't see any e-mail thingie the

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

you could manually type it in and resend me the info.  Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.


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

Check Monster, CareerBuilder, MedHunters.com. Check with the companies you see listed if they're

I checked my QA
and you are right. I don't know who it is tho.
Checked it out
My account doesn't use I-chart, but on a small single chart I counted every character and every space and ended up with 902; divided 65 into that and got 14+.  When I checked my line count later, it was 15.  Did the same with the next one.  It also agrees with the Word Count under Tools.  Checking CTL-S and statistics gives me a higher count, but I think that includes the headers, for which we do not get paid.  It looks fine to me.  I'm not sure about I-Chart.  This is Xpress line counter though, and I don't see anything like skimming.  Maybe you should explain better.
I have checked into 3 different

8 cpl seems to be the going rate for 8 years experience.  However, at one of the nationals, if I worked odd hours of the night, produced over 2000 lines an 8 hr shift I could get paid more than 10 cpl. 


I had already checked...
the archives and the main board but I double checked just to make sure and sure enough there's nothing much there. The few that are recent are my posts, one about the type of platform they use and want ads, that's it. All other posts are around a year old. I read them anyway and it was informative, provided nothing has changed that is. That's why i was really needing someone who currently works there to shed some light.
Not last I checked!

I had checked into them once,...
And I thought their web site said they did NOT hire US MTs. Maybe is mis-read something. Good luck!
I checked out TRX...
...they require 500 lines per day for part time on a very heavy ESL account. I was looking for something to do 4 to 6 hours a day on fri/sat/sun but if they are difficult clinicians to understand, it could take you 12 hours to 500 lines! just FYI.
not last I checked ...
almost, but not quite.
My doc checked into it but said
it was too expensive right now. So he's not making the switch until forced to do so. So I'm safe for a little while. I told him to give me at least a couple month's notice. LOL
I just checked
and the highest producers posted had 98% or above, usually 99%. The reason I have gotten a higher LPH is from a change in how I look things up (using a nice Auto Hot Key script) and not because I am actually going faster. ISR has helped my total LPH average as well--something else people don't like to hear. I can't imagine I am that special so I think others can do it too.
Have you checked the archives lately?? sm
All those negative posts, and there must have been hundreds, have been deleted. It ain't what you know ....
I had checked out their website before...
and I liked what I read. I also love Softmed/Chartscript. Can you tell me how they pay (DD, per line, etc) and how much? Thank you!
Just checked for funsies and
all 3 of my accounts at MDI-MD are on the list!  This is definitely not a list of their accounts, although I'm sure they would love for everyone to believe that. 
Have you checked outside, there might be a black
Why care who reads what, if you're telling the truth it makes no difference.  Management might take the time to read this site (as if they have nothing better to do) for entertainment but give them more credit for intelligence than to base any management or company decision making issues on anything said on a board like this.  If you say nothing on here you wouldn't be afraid to say to management, then who cares what they see/read.  If management is particularly bad or corrupt, etc., they don't care if you know it because they've already figured out a way around what they're doing.  Now go close all your blinds and cower in the corner and wait for them to come busting through the door.   
Does background check include credit check?

Already checked out archives, nothing recent
Well, had an interview scheduled today with Amphion at 9:00 a.m. - they called and set it up - I'm still waiting for the phone call and it's 9:47 a.m. TransHealth called, now I called back and they're all in meetings. This is very frustrating. I think I will accept Oracle for the time being, since they are IC and TransHealth and Amphion are FTE, and keep waiting. Someone has to be a good match. I thought TransHealth or Amphion would be great choices, but now - set up an interview and not call? I didn't call them, they called me, but now after scheduling the interview - no one called? TransHealth sounds great - now if I can just connect with the guy who called me. If not ... who's next?
Medware, checked the archives but...sm
Nothing really recent.  Pros, cons?  Any opinions appreciated.  TIA!
It took them over 2-3 weeks to just get my references checked....and....
then by the time they got my references checked, they said that all they had was an opening for third shift, which I was being hired for first shift...so I turned them down.  I had a little bit of hesitancy to begin with before taking the job.  Then, I looked on their website, saw that they offshored, sent the guy an email who was hiring me telling him that I don't think I would be a good fit for a company that offshores (because I do not think it is right),he called me back and emailed me back franticly stating they do not offshore, blah, blah, blah...But that just gave me more leverage to turn down the job ONCE THEY FINALLY called me back...I would be very careful with them...Never worked for them, but that is my experience....
I checked before I posted here. I thought of that first.
Thanks though.
Checked to see who the person was who was so angry...and....
She worked at Shapin for 2 days and was unable to complete her work with any quality at all. Her scores were in the low 80's. So YES she was MOST DEFINITELY let go and YES she is MOST DEFINITELY angry about that. Sorry S. Please retake a Medical Transcription course before moving on. All employers would appreciate that!
Oops! Haven't checked in in a ....
..couple of days--didn't mean to leave you hanging .  Um, I don't fully remember the pay scale, except that it was a little tricky.  I was only going to work for them part-time and didn't hang around long enough to find out.  As I said, the platform was sooo tedious and time-consuming that I honestly didn't think I'd be able to make any money there. 
Have you checked with the office? My account seems to
be running behind. Do you have a backup acount?
I checked line counts ...
...against Flash count with the same settings and it comes out accurate. I have trouble getting good production as well, but I feel assured it's not that. 
I use ExText for a hospital. I have checked
Word and then counting, and it comes out right every time - it totals the characters and spaces and divides by 65.  I get paid for everything I type. 
I've asked, and I have checked myself - (sm)
when there is no lag time on I-chart, usually early morning, typed normal template, and it did count.  I also asked and we do get paid for everything except headers and footers.
Last I checked I didn't need gas to get to work
On my accounts everyone knows my name, I don't usually have reason to call the office. If I have problems I talk with my team leader or the regional manager, which is what I suggest you do. Why is it hard for people to voice their concerns to the company or people in charge of their specific accounts?? If you have no work then ask for more accounts.
I checked and could not find my post.

need to get my glasses checked. The guarantee for the
rose-coloring must have expired and now everything looks gray and bleak at this company. Glad you are as lucky as you are.
Mine is in my bank. I just checked! nm
