response to bounced checks and "too picky"

Please, do not let those untrue postings affect your decision to work for The MT Group.
This is Melanie (the one who posted the job for The MT Group). The MT Group was started in 1996, and we have NEVER EVER EVER EVER bounced someone's check nor shorted the check. We ask all of our ICs to turn in their line counts at the end of every pay period. If they do not match what we have, I contact the IC so that we can compare. Very rarely do I need to go that far. When I put in our job post that we are honest and fair, I was being honest. I was very discouraged to read that posting.
As far as pickiness about spaces. It is common knowledge that there should be two spaces after a period, and yes, we do expect that. I can't help but think that the person who posted that reply just had a big problem with using two spaces.
And moodiness?? Who was moody? The transcriptionist?

RE: Bounced checks
I had this happen to me recently too twice and I will never work for that company again. That is not good business. 
Bounced checks
Check with your state. Bounced checks are a criminal matter, and each state has guidelines for you to collect your money. Here it's through the DA's office.

Bounced checks again at D&L
This is not the first time this has happened and there was always a good reason but has anyone else had checks bounce from D&L Typing Service lately or is it mine and their reason is valid? They seem to be hiring, so they have money coming in - and always a lot of work for me - what is going on? do these people really have that many problems with a bank or do they not put the money earned by their company into the account like they should? I am not working for someone else's bills to be paid, I am working for mine. I see a lot of posts asking about them but no one ever responds - is this the norm for D&L Typing Service - have I just been lucky until now? Does any one pay their employees without bouncing a check? Can anyone be honest with me please.
bounced checks
I just want to remind everyone who has allowed the MT companies that bounced checks on you all, and in turn causing you to have bounced checks - that even if they reimburse you - your credit is screwed.
D&L is scrambling to make good on checks and if they succeed many of you will forgive, may not forget, but you will continue working.
Have they paid you late fees, interest, have they made up the credit problems you now have.
Why do we allow this to happen? I am so fed up and tired of this nonsense. If any company does not pay you on time as stated in their hiring information - fine them, charge them, and certainly if they bounce checks Press Charges. Do not accept their wink and apology - they will continue to do this with you or others.
bounced checks
There are multiple posts here on the subject especially lately - contact the DA office and press charges, contact the labor board and file claim. If they decide to cut and run, claim bankruptcy - your claim will be there and you could potentially be reimbursed, otherwise potential loss. Do not let these companies get away with this. Post the name so we can all be warned. A bounced check from another person could still ruin your credit - nothing can make that up.
bounced checks
Donot let them get away with it - Recently a company hs been noted on here bouncing thousands of dollars worth of checks - sent out replacement checks and those funds are no good either - there is a web site to post for civil charges and national charges - you are entitled up to 500.00 for each check they bounce once demand has been made - file your claim now. If I could post the site I would - Google - national check fraud center - all information is there
Pay cut/bounced checks
Hello I have been working for MedTrans for quite a while now. I have had 2 checks to not clear my bank, and I have just been informed that I along with other hard working people will be receiving a 10% cut in our pay, because after 3+ years they have just realized they are losing money. Beware!
What about pay..on time? bounced checks?
nm
Not them but CorT bounced my friends 3 checks. nm
.
present those bounced checks to your employer - sm
when you were hired, you were told when your paydays would be. There was no warning or notice made ahead of time that paychecks would be late. THEREFORE, your employer is responsible for the bounced check fees that were caused by the direct deposit being late!!! This is for direct deposit only - NOT FOR PAYCHECKS arriving by mail. Checks arriving by mail could be held up as a result of the postal service, carrier, etc. Therefore, your employer is not responsible for checks bounced because of that.
If ONE of my checks EVER bounced, I'd be gone. Obviously there are pay issues. I agree with you
in that I also smell mgt. I mean truly numerous people always complaining about pay issues and yet ONE person does get paid on time.. very fishy to me. I smell management. Time to move on
Cut in pay/bounced checks/losing money
I have worked for this company for quite a while now. I have been very happy with them, until recently when they decided that they were going to cut my pay and other hardworking people's pay by 10% because they are losing money. They have had these accounts that they are losing money on for 3+ years and are just now realizing they are losing money. I have also had more than 1 of my paychecks to bounce. Beware!
Klaar....habitually late and a multitude of bounced checks..
The owner has no sense about this at all. He will wait until you call to say your check is late and then say he will over-night it...right. And there is NOTHING like paying your bills with your paycheck only to find out 10 days later that the paycheck bounced.
Burn me once....shame on you
Burn me twice ... shame on me...I moved on. Some people are still struggling. Also, just if anyone is interested. It is actually illegal to bounce checks and you can hire a constable (around $75 I think) in the town/area of the office to arrest the person writting the bad check. The person will be taken to jail and will have to post bond to be released. I have considered doing this but I am from a different state and haven't looked into the details of doing it out of state.
those bonus checks aren't extra money...you would just get tw bigger checks rather than 3 checks
don't kid yourself 
What is so picky about them? I don't think wanting accuracy is picky...
It is professional...
A few days ago, there were messages they were bouncing checks, writing bad checks, etc. Search the A

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

what's "too low"?
nm
That should be "too" bright
t-o-o.
That should be "too fast" - see...
that's one of the mistakes a VR program can make very easily (although it was my too fast hands that made it)!
Hahaha! "Too little cowboy, and too much HAT! " nm
;p
I've been with places that disabled Ctrl/I as they said the line count given was "too high.

Very picky
She didn't know what she wanted, would gripe about everything under the sun, and would send 20 emails a day asking the status of work that wasn't due until the next day. They were usually in all caps in a screaming tone.
Pay was .06 per actual line which was ok I guess, but definitely not worth the hassle of her constant emails and nitpicking. Hope this helps you some.
Maybe I am just too picky...
I see Cbay in Annapolois (their spelling not mine) is advertising and one of the things they want is nero-ophthalmology. What's that? Hmmm.. .
Picky, picky
I have transcribed and done QA for Medquist for 20 years. I went part-time with Transolutions for a little extra cash and it was the most frustrating experience I have ever had. As stated previously, you receive about 9 binders of stuff to read through. The apex system was okay, but way too much to do on the patient information page. You have to copy every physician mentioned in the report plus fill in many fields on the ADT taking away tons of time actually transcribing. QA is absolutely ridiculous. In the short period of time I worked for them the issue was grammar, mainly commas. They take off for everything, reducing your accuracy percentage way down, I am talking in the 70s just because of punctuation errors. I was astonished with my paychecks which never got any better. I think they are also on line counts with no spaces included as it took forever to get anywhere. I hated it and would never recommend Transolutions to anyone.
what do you mean by picky?
I didn't think they tested, just on QA for 2 weeks.
I was IC w/them and checks came on time. First checks were FedX'd to me on time! I left due to an
s
Yes, exactly. The picky nothing stuff
I have been reviewed now for 5 months; been in the "Exceeds Standards" percentage; and that is ridiculous anyway, 98-100%, etc.
I have been an MT for 25 years. Why am I being graded. We obviously do not know what we are doing. I thought I finished grade school along time ago.
Yes, picky and wrong about their QA. nm
If you're asking if QA at DSG is picky... (sm)
Yes, they are, because we have high standards and like to keep our accounts happy. If you're asking how hard it is to actually do QA on QASAR, I have no idea. I am an MT with DSG. I hope this answers your question from an MT point of view.
not picky about punching in right when you are scheduled,
just so you get your work done. Also, remember the time clock and punching in out keeps track of your lines per hour which the more lines per hour the more you are paid. Its not bad at all!!!
2006 posts said QA is VERY picky here. Pay was 6-9 cpl. Under

AAMT standardization, not picky
I work from home for a hospital. I have also worked for regionals/nationals, clinics, pathology, etc. I work for a hospital that has the JCAHO accreditation which means that every department is compliant, not just clinical. I'm proud of the work we do in my transcription department. We have VR and it's rarely on because we have a top team of professional MTs. We all make a minimum of $20 an hour and most of us make more because, yes, we get paid per line. We are a 400-bed facility and only require a team of 16 transcriptions (about 50/50 FT and PT MTs). I believe this is because we have standards that we know we can refer to if there is ever a question. It also makes it so we don't have many questions. We type it the AAMT way. It creates a professional and consistent-looking document. No room for anyone to question: Doctor, MT, manager, or even the Q&A department. No one. Period.
AAMT integrates JCAHO standards, as well. AAMT isn't some persnickety transcriptionist who wants to have a say in what we all type. The effort is there in order to create a standardization in the work we do. I still believe we do an important job, regardless of the jobs that are sent off-shore. Until they're all gone, this is how I make my living and I want to try to be as professional as possible. I'll bring AAMT guidelines to whatever job I hold and I doubt very much that my work will be called into question.
JMHO
Thank you miss picky....jeesh!!!

I think what happens when companies want that little QA submission and are really picky is
that you tend to relisten to all your reports and end up making much less money because you become paranoid about the whole thing. That is what is happening to me at the place I am working. They are so picky to the point of being ridiculous. AND, it is very stressful and not fun.
Nasty team leader, nit-picky QA, sm
mounds of account specifics and company instructions and I mean 7 binders each 3 inches thick , constant busy signals dialing in to get work, slow PC-company supplied, slow tech support, impossible to make line rate. Dock you big time for errors.
Yeah Mary picky pants.
Made yourself look a little foolish eh?
Following basic grammar is nit-picky? Maybe I misunderstood.
Not when you have so many accounts and no work. How do you like the picky nothing stuff they deduct
off for the 98% QA. I have never seen such BS in my life. It makes absolutely no sense at all. Has no bearing on what an MT can or cannot do. It is all designed to get rid of more QA people and to make sure no one makes the bonus. No doubt about that. Has anyone tried to discuss this with them or is that impossible.
I have worked for a company that is SO picky and you have to do so much demographic work
before you ever get to the report. Then you have to switch screens, take out an underscore in 2 places, change the worktype in 3 places if the doc doesn't put it in right, IM someone to look up the name for letters (which is about half my worktype), change screens again to get the billing number, paste it in, and THEN you can start the report. Ahhhhhhh!
All for 1 cent more per line than the reports I do for another place that all I have to do is enter a MRN and I'm there, in the report, and no medications, no demographics. Now one of these days I am going to be brave and just switch altogether to this company.
I left, too. Incredibly picky account rules. No $$.

I have bounced around (sm)
from company to company looking for a job that I enjoy, pays a decent rate, respects me as an employee, and understands I am a human being with a family, home, etc. And finally I found all that at DeVenture! I could not be happier.
Also, paid time off is calculated individually, not some artificially low hourly rate that punishes those working the hardest (and making the most) when they take time off.
Years ago posts said they were extremely picky & hard to work for. Haven't

check bounced
i got a check from cortmedical and it bounced. they have still not bothered to pay me. it has been over one month since i have been trying to get the check from them but unfortunately i still have not got it yet.
if you're being bounced around
on different accounts -- have you ever talked with your mgr? asked to be left on your main account the majority of the time? Do you communicate?
I see the stats -- as should you every day -- there is NOT a lack of work at SL, and i have seen no difference with the new MTs being on-board (affecting what i am given in the workpool), experience no obvious problem with cherry-picking.
You know communication is a 2-way street -- if you are unhappy about something, talk to your manager -- try to effect a change, unless you'd rather complain of course.
Bounced check?
I would call the National labor board ASAP and report them. They will get your money to you and possibly take legal action against the company. Good luck!
Bounced check
What do I do with a bounced check from an MT company?
Bounced Check
Unfortunately, the owner is avoiding everyone...I want to take legal action.
bounced check
Please let us know who it is from so we do not go there. You can use initials.
WELL THE CHECK BOUNCED!!
OK, another update-- THis chick paid my friend but THE CHECK IS NO GOOD!!
She won't answer her phone. She gives lies on IM.
So the MT has now worked an entire new pay period and likely won't get paid for that either.
