Unless you have DEFINITIVE proof that MQ has sold, DO NOT post innuendos here.
All posts referencing a so called MQ sale have been removed. Posters should be above pettiness by posting rumor. FACTS speak volumes.

I have definitive proof from the MT that the money is owed. The MT is also taking action
on her part to get the unpaid wages compensated by the owner through the Labor Board.
I agree but ask for full payment
good luck
agree - haven't had a car payment in years
paid $6000 cash for a 93 Volvo wagon back in 2002. Too many people think they need a new (or pricey) vehicle and really have better things to do with their $400-600 per mo. Every time I look into getting something new or simply newer, I decide that I neither want to take that much money out of savings, nor do I want to have such an outrageous car payment. I would totally prefer a brand new car, but it seems like such a waste of money.
I agree. my last 3 checks were shorted
and I'm pretty much screwed because I can't afford to take a job outside the home right now because I can't afford all day daycare pluse the clothes I'd have to buy to have an office job not to mention everything else that goes along with it. I've been looking for something that isn't MT because I'm sick of being screwed and it's only getting worse.
I agree. Physicals, screenings, and background checks.
..
i agree -- lines counts are correct and include expanders per my checks.

the definitive chair slowly undulates, sort of like
those air-filled things they have in hospitals....plus, the place I seem to need support is across my back up high - maybe I just get too tense and thats why it hurts there all the time...
Anyway, a chair is next for me. What a pipe dream, I can barely affort groceries...
POLL - Do you proof as you go or proof when finished? sm
I proof after, but would love to proof during. I'm working on it. I'm curious as to what percentage of MTs proof as they go or proof at the end?
Thx for responding.
MT, proof as I go. ME, go back and proof afterwards
I have only been editing 3-4 months, and I find I make at least twice the stupid mistakes on ME as with MT, so I do scan the ME reports --find double periods, caps where they are not supposed to be -- stupid stuff.
good luck!
No payment
Would her name be Nina? If so, I can help with contact information. Please e-mail me at ellen1@mindspring.com with MT no payment in the subject line
One payment
Look at your 1040 and you will see that your taxes owed include SS and Federal. So when you make your estimates it is only one check.
non payment
infovision software, Kolkata, is not paying my dues (salary + others), resigned during Feb, now it April, Can any good fellow suggest anything? Not only me there are at least 50 MTs i know , who are also not paid after working with them.
payment for VR
So the account I work on has just purchased a voice recognition software. I see that a lot of the VR is paying about 4.5 to 5 ( and higher ) cents per line. Does this include the whole line or just the editing corrections you actually do for them? Please tell me that it is all the lines on the page. How could it be calculated any other way? I actually don't know yet if I will even be getting the installation as there are a lot of MTs working on this account & don't see how there could possibly be enough room for all of us. I might just have to work in another part-time job. Thanks.
Payment
Just wondering what alternatives there are when you don't get paid for work that was done and it's been months!!!! Two people (individual MTs) owe me money from back in February and I can't get them to respond, etc. HELP!!
Just ask for payment - with interests
1 .If you have no contracts - you have been doped.
2. If you have a contract -
Use it legally.
3. Stop all transcriptions at once until they have paid.
4. Report to the AAMT the incident with the contract, work loads, time and date.
That is my mortgage payment alone - sm
Our expenses for the month are about 5-6K per month.
MTSO payment
I am a very small MTSO as most are aware and I always pay my gals prior to mortgage,electric or anything. But I also want you guys to know that all of these fringes that you guys want, 800 numbers, direct deposit, etc. cost us money and the more money we have to put out the less money we can pay you. I do not feel that you should be so upset about direct deposit, if you get you checked maile don time and it takes the mail 2-3 days you have to allow for that in your budget. I do not make that much off my IC's 2 to 3 cents per line and I put in a lot of work to make that 2 to 3 cents per line. We have expenses to cover also. If we charge our accounts more, they will look elsewhere or over to India they go. So we have to charge fairly to the accounts and pay you guys fairly also. Remember the saying -- until you walk a mile in my shoes, don't critize. I am seriously thinking about cutting back to working only for myself, making enough to cover my bills and retirement fund and let go of a couple of accounts and gals as it gets quite hectic balancing the amount of work -- either too much or not enough -- payments, QA, decent help and just keeping my sanity. So that is where I am probably headed after the first of the year. I think I simply want to be responsible for just me in this coming year. Hope all have a Merry Christmas.
It is a scam. I got one that says I never sent payment and they
are going to report me, but it doesn't say what the item is. I've also gotten one where someone says they are trying to Paypal me money but it won't go through and I don't have any items pending. If ever in doubt never click on a link in an e-mail but go directly to the website and enter/view any information there.
Billing/payment
On my larger accounts I close out on the 25th to 28th, since I keep daily line counts in an Excel program, I print that out, do my bill in Quick Books, get the bill to clients by 28th to 29th, I give a 1% discount on my larger accounts if they pay within 48 hours and they do so I have my checks always by the 1st. I have two smaller accounts that I bill on the 15th so I have cash flow throughout the month. I have never been stiffed, they have never been late, they never question my line counts and always write thank you on the invoice. This works for me. I know everyone says don't give away 1% as a discount but it works for me so I do it.
Non or late payment
Just giving all MTs out there that a company called med-tech is not paying or paying their employees late. I have done some research on them and have found severla employees complaining of this.
Non or late payment
Gosh! We work hard enough for peanuts as it is!
with what you are getting in terms of payment...
Then outsources like us are getting ripped off...
I barely make $5 for 8 hours.. you think that's fair. .. cause I sure *&%# don't.
Thank you!! I did request a stop payment and a nm
wire transfer or overnight but have had no response yet but it hasn't been that long either. Waiting for a response. I did email someone else who also works for them but no response from that yet either. My point is exactly as you said, being a week late, i am in deep trouble and it has costed me a lot as i go from check to check so like me and my kiddos are starving waiting on this check, lol. on the other hand, i make good money with this acct and don't want to tick them off as i love this acct but i am in a bind needing my money.
Payment to Santa's House
Here is the transaction number that Paypal gave me ...
December 2, 2005, $10.00 to MT Stars for Santa's House
# 1AF41998N6331691A.
Thank you
pagett4584@comcast.net
...maybe incentive pay like OT or payment for bonus
s
Should I make the car payment, pay the electricity, or
buy a few small Christmas presents for the kids? Of course, the electric company won't wait one more week to get their money.
The Jan. 15 payment is for last quarter in 2007.

I ask for partial payment upfront if they were
Bad checks
When I worked in a small vet.clinic, we would get bad checks from people who I am sure made a living off of bad checks. If you don't want to be embarrassed, don't write the bad check in the first place. I take great care to maintain my good credit, there is no reason not to be financially responsible for your actions. I have no sympathy for people who think they can get something for nothing and don't have to follow the rules of society like the rest of us. The clinic I worked at wrote off hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in bad debt every year. In the long run, that is costing me and you more in higher rates because those costs are ultimately passed onto the rest of us. So their name is on a wall, big deal. They are still getting the goods or services for free while the rest of us have to pay.
MQ checks
Well, based on my base rate, I figured I must have transcribed about 600 lines (or 39,000 characters)that they did not pay me for. I want to find out what this is for exactly,what time period it covers, etc. Does this letter, in essence, acknowledge wrongdoing on their part? Should we all run to join one of the numerous law suits taking place right now? (Change that to class action law suits!)
about the checks from MQ...
...mine was for $14 and some odd cents - now the question is, they actually took out all taxes and it comes to $3.63.
Pardon me for not knowing the law, but I always thought you could not take out taxes under a certain dollar amount. Anyone know if that is a law, or at the employer's discretion?
I appreciate the moneys owed; however, there is no 'real' explanation. Since I no longer work for MQ, and the check is only for $3+ dollars, I think I will hold on to it and wait to see what is going on.
Thanks.
MQ Checks
My question regarding checks is. . was there an actual discrepancy and if so, does it also apply to other companies using the same platform (which is owned by MQ) including DSG & Accuscribe of SC. . .should we be expecting "reimbursement" from them as well???
SS pay checks
Do you have direct deposit or do you get your check by mail? My direct deposit was on time and I got my pay stub a few days later. Did you try sending the email to human resources?
pay checks
This is extremely sad.. I am an MTSO but I still transcribe...I always pay my MTs everyother week, even if it means going into a line of credit. Everyone does not do this, though...since you are so hardworking, you should find someone else who would pay you on time..
checks?
Well I don't have that problem as I stated to a few of the other comments. I do not use "checks".
How do you pay if not checks??
Even with direct deposit there is a check statement that shows what that person made, so that should be proof. At least with my direct deposits I get a statement showing what was deposited. Anyone can make out a 1099 and that is not proof that you paid that person. You have to have some type of paper path that shows this person was paid. If she says that she did not get it, then you need to go back to your bank and ask where it went. Even an electronic check or transfer shows in your statement. Am not sure what kind of business you are running but without a paper trail, the IRS would love you.
Make a tax payment every pay period online.
I use the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System because I also am incapable of saving money. When I deposit my paycheck, I immediately go online and transfer a percentage of my check to the IRS. You can do it weekly, biweekly, quarterly--anytime you choose. It requires setting up an account with your SS# or tax ID#. Then you designate a bank account to be debited. They snail mail you a password and PIN about a week later. As soon as you receive your PIN, you're set to go. When you make a payment, you're given a confirmation number. The system records each payment and the date it was processed so you have a record of all your payments and the date the payment was made when you organize your tax info at the end of the year.
My mortgage payment is nearly that much. Ten year loan.
You have no obligation to assist in college payment.
I don't understand why so many parents these days insist on handing their kids an education while going into debt over it. My nephew had to work and find scholarships to go to college. My Dad worked the railroad to pay for his college. I'm still paying for my own college, and I've got a kid ready to start college in two years. I told him I'm not paying for it. He needs to get his grades up, find some scholarships, and work. You don't appreciate something you don't earn.
Your son will get a reality check when his bills are due.
Dud you send a demand payment letter? sm
You can find a sample one by Googling.
If you do win in small claims court, the judgement will give you legal ways to collect. For example, having the sheriff put liens on bank accounts, using a collection agency, etc.
Good luck to you. I have been in your shoes and, fortunately, the demand payment letter worked for me.
Mortgage late payment question. sm
I have 18 months left on my 30 year mortgage, roughly 4K left. If I don't pay my February 1st payment until March 2nd, is it likely they will demand the whole 4K immediately? Just broke right now. 
Beg, borrow, or steal not to have that payment be late!!!
It does not matter how little you have left on it. Late is late in my opinion.
Try calling back about a payment agreement.
deal with compared to my state department of revenue! I owed taxes over $10,000 in taxes two years in a row to the IRS, so over $20,000, and they let me make payments on it and I got it paid off. I also got the INTENT TO LEVY notices, but when I called and set up a payment agreement they stopped with the threats.
Right now I owe the IRS about $5000 and when I called to set up payments I asked them if I could make payments of $150 a month and they accepted that without question. I was a little afraid to suggest such a small amount, but they took it.
Now my state department of revenue is much meaner than the IRS. They told me to pay what I owe them in six months or else. They put a lien on my house. They will only accept payments if I take the total and divide by 6 and pay that amount each month (impossible for me to pay that much) so I am just in a holding pattern seeing if they are bluffing or if they really are going to do something.
I'd say if you really have nothing of value the IRS can get, then it is to their advantage to work with you. I think you just got a bad agent. Call back and try to get another one that will work with you.
How I solved the late payment issue -
- with most clients I started subtracting a certain amount (or free of charge) for each report that I turned around late (far and few between) even for circumstances out of my control, while at the same time charging them late payment fees. I also started accepting credit cards.
Thank you. As long as we accept payment like that, they will continue to do it.
If we do not accept jobs that pay without spaces, then they will realize that we are not going to continue to do something for nothing. How many of you do several things throughout the day at no charge? Now this...
Prepaid Visa Card for payment
Has anyone used a prepaid Visa card for receiving payment for work? Is this safe? Thanks
Yes the people on DQS will get checks only.
:
These MQ checks must be a joke.
 According to my taxes last year my salary, which had remained at a very stable figure for the past 6-7 years, suddenly decreased almost $11,000 dollars in 2004 after beginning DQS at the beginning of the year. There is no way in hell that this check for $140 bucks is going to make me happy. How convenient that there are no dates on the letter indicating what the time frame is on this "incorrect compensation." Love the general "Dear Medical Transcriptionist" - cannot even humanize us by putting our name. Such jerks. I am furious! 
MQ checks & lawsuit
Let's not forget, the checks can not be 100% reimbursement for all lines jipped out of, they only cover an error on DEP, a LOT of the issues with the atty's go back to 1998, before DEP was even a thought process, so it really can not be for the cheated lines totally.
I go by who signs my checks...*l*..nm
