Are your checks being mailed? If so,

In Reply to: What do I do about continually late - paychecks?
check the date it was postmarked. Check with your company and see when they mail your checks, then count the days it took to receive it. If it is taking too long, complain to the Post Office!!!
We are having a problem with our checks. My husband's checks get mailed on a Friday, but he may not receive them until a week or later, if he receives them at all!!! As of today, he is missing another check that was mailed 12/31. Four checks have been lost in the mail since they put the new rates into effect. Of course, his company stops payment on them, costing them more money, and then re-issues another check. He used to get them a day or 2 after they were mailed before the new rates. This puts us in a bind, too. His checks come from 45 miles away.
I finally went on line and placed 2 complaints, as I was missing 2 checks during the past few months, too. Mine come from 11 miles away.All our mail goes to a central post office, 50 miles away and that is one of my complaints I placed. Three days for a letter to go from my home town to my home town is ridiculous. 
So, it may not be your company's fault, but the good ole post office.

If you e-mailed me about this I e-mailed you back
yesterday.
I have an adjustable keyboard tray. My parents bought it for me for Christmas years ago and I don't know where they got it and they are no longer living for me to ask. If you go to any office supply website and Google adjustable keyboard trays you'll find several. You really don't need an adjustable tray, especially since with a pillow on top you really just need a support for the pillow.
I prop my pillow on top of my tray and then put my keyboard on the pillow. If you just a firm pillow your keyboard will bounce and you'll spend all day chasing it, so use a pillow that is sort of squishy.
I'm not sure why, but I find I sit with my back against the chair when I use a pillow. The pillow absorbs the stress from your fingers and wrists, adds support for your arms and shoulders and I find I'm more relaxed and more productive.
I e-mailed someone I know
On one account I work on, it's a *.dot file (template) she created that has a pop-up screen that asks for things like Patient Name, MR #, MD name, etc. You just fill in the info and the macro snaps everything into the template and you're ready to go.
I asked her if she learned this through the Word Help file or books, and which ones. As soon as she gets back to me, I'll let you know. This is considered one of those time savers.
I e-mailed you.

I E-mailed You.
If you don't receive my e-mail, feel free to e-mail me through here :o).
Why can't they be mailed to you?
It is not that expensive to put the pay stubs in an envelope and use snail mail. Also, why can't they be sent by email?
Anyone have an inkling when these will be mailed out?
xx
I e-mailed you...sure hope you got it!
Hugs,

Mine were mailed to me also.
The sender obviously wants proof it was received. I receive Certified mail from my employer when it is important such as forms to fill out, etc. Doesn't have to mean dooms day.
Hayseed... I e-mailed ya'
re: cropping avatar.... Thanks. 
Nobody called or e-mailed (sm)
from my hospital either. I had just gotten up and turned on the TV and Charlie Gibson was on, which was weird, because it was a little after 9:00 and he should have been off. He was talking about the building being hit, and I saw the second plane live.
I was in such shock I could barely tear myself from the TV to work. Nobody from the hospital called or emailed about it that day or ever. It was the strangest thing.
To the person who e-mailed me
I'm not comfortable at this time giving out the name of the company. I will say that it is a very small company in Georgia, in the Atlanta area. This individual is very vindictive and spiteful, apparently with no life of their own. If, however, you want to e-mail me the name of the company with which you have had problems, I will be happy to either confirm or deny that it is the same company.
I just e-mailed you with instructions
for the AutoText entries. You cannot use outside programs (text expanders, shorthand, etc.) with InScribe. It's kind of a long process to add AutoText, so I save up 25 or 30 and enter them all at once, usually.
My tapes are mailed
and I E-mail the reports back. Works great plus cuts down on gas.
my tapes are mailed
I have the same deal. They mail me the tapes and I email the work back.
I agree. I just e-mailed her
Yes, it IS high here. I've been here 37 years (life long) and it never ceases to amaze me. It's all the retirees driving the cost up.
anyone know the deadlines for the W2s/1099s to be mailed out by? nm

Just e-mailed the Oprah! show
I just finished posting a comment to the Oprah! Show. If/when (I'm an optimist!) I get a response, I'll be letting y'all know. Happy Wednesday! 
Thank you to the 2 who e-mailed me! I've applied.

Have you ever been e-mailed pictures of someone in your company
and then wish you hadn't looked?
I was in the same situation. I E mailed my resignation.
Offer up a small notice. They still have your last paycheck to send you and they sound really nasty. Do the minimal amount to do for them, be professional to them and then get out as quick as you can. Remember, though, if you want your check, just do what you can to make sure you seem professional and not stooping to their level. But if you are happily leaving, e mail notice ASAP and forget about them except for your small notice obligation and focus mentally on your blessings. This will get you through the difficult time left with them. THen let go of them and forget them. Trust me. I had trust issues with jobs for 6 months after a bad experience with 1 MTSO, and am just letting go now. Above all, preserve your self-esteem, be professional and courteous, but get out. Good luck!
Wow, what a great site....always mailed mine in but think - sm
I will start doing this. Actually I have not paid at all this year, so maybe I will start now and get a little in the "pot" so to speak. Thanks for the tip, a weekly or bi-monthly payment will certainly help ease the pain and make it more "normal".
I e mailed the Oprah show about a year ago sm
I got an automated response and that was it. I have always loved Oprah, but she is into helping kids in other countries, not so into helping here.
someone just e-mailed me "how to write a letter to your Senator" -
I responded to this e-mail and attached a sample for her (Sarah) to send to her Senator, but came back as not deliverable. Just speak from your heart when you write. Be respectful, "Dear Senator, thank you for representing our state" And then tell your story so to speak, how things are effecting you. That bringing IT jobs (not just MT, but anything that contains our private information, credit card processing, debt collection, etc.) would not only deter the rampant increase in identity and medical identity theft, but would bring American jobs back to America, American MONEY back to America to be spent in America! Good luck to all
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.
Most often direct deposit into your account or a regular mailed check. nm

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

Credit checks
I totally agree. One's credit is personal bussiness and should not be a deciding factor of one's employment. I had several jobs fall through because of credit problems that I did not cause. My Identity was stolen some 15 years ago and I also had a child abducted. I have spent the last 10 years searching for both, my child and my life. I can live without my life, however without my girl I am finding each and every passing day harder and harder to live. MY credit score is now in the upper 600's (took 6 years to fix) which is not great but heading in the right way.
So to all you EMPLOYER'S, LET ONE WITHOUT SIN THROW THE FIRST STONE
background checks
If the company uses the information found in background check so verify identity, its okay, but if they do it to check for convictions of certain crimes, I think they should not use crimes that were not computer-related against individuals. If you got arrested for shoplifting when you were a teenages, I dont think it should be used against you 30 years later. Is there anyone out there who has ever gotten let go because of information on thier background check that involved a conviction??
Are they separate checks (sm)
totalling 12,000+. You'd have to check the court system, but that may actually be over the amount for small claims court and you'd have to go to the next level. Has she made ANY attempt to pay any of it? Do you have any "demands" for payment in writing? If not, I think I'd get that in the mail today. You need to establish a papertrail. Formal demand asking for payment in a set period of time by cash or money order. Send it cert mail with return receipt.
bounced checks
What steps would you take if you had three bounced pay checks?
They don't issue checks.
They just said that they do not issue checks. They said that other MTs are paid with the prepaid visa cards and everything works out for them ok. I asked for names of these MTs but they did not give them to me. That is why I asked on here if anyone knew anything about these cards. I don't trust giving out my bank account numbers for direct deposit or I would do that.
talked to an atty about the MQ checks
Nope, go ahead and cash them as I already have. If they had anything to do with ANY kind of settlement, it would clearly have to say so. It just says adjustment, period. He also said that since the class actions go over many different platforms dating back before the days of DQS, no way it could be a settlement.
Go shopping he told me, it does not state anywhere it's a settelment. He says just like any other legal document, "by signing the below or cashing this, you are giving up your right to yada yada yada.
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.
They are. Many of them get social security checks for
mental illness or other issues. Some of them spend their social security checks the day they get them on booze and gambling. Some people CHOOSE to be homeless, if you can believe that. There are programs out there for them if they apply. I got to know the homeless population of our city pretty well at one of my former job. I could tell you some stories about some of those characters. One guy is homeless, but he could have his house and bank account, his military retirement, and his social security. Instead, he pushes a cart around town and sleeps on park benches. One woman runs down the street in nothing but polyester pants pulled up to her armpits in the bitter cold of winter. She has shoes and a coat, plus welfare and social security benefits.
They have NEVER done credit checks. I have worked
with them for going on 8 years. I know this as fact. They do a background check on anybody but if you knew what you were talking about or if you had applied, you would know what kind of background check this is and it is not a full background check.
I'm glad you don't make out my checks! It's
$12.00 a day, $1.50 an hour.
Show the checks were cashed.
(From a different company )I got receipts showing I was paid too. How convenient that the check was "lost" in the mail.
