that you paid that amount, then all posts will be removed. I am not talking about any previous monies paid, but the last monies owed of over $1900.00.

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.
Send him proof
When this happens to me, I go to several reliable sources and make sure that (1) I *am* spelling it correctly and there are not any alternative correct spellings and (2) that I have a source any doctor would not be able to argue about. I then type a polite note to the doctor and send it along with my proof. In my note, I include the comment that if he has found it spelled another way in a reliable reference, I'd be glad if he would let me know what reference that was, for my own information. Once, for the name of a medical device, I went to the manufacturer's web page and printed the page describing the device and showing the spelling. Along with my polite note, I faxed the web page to the doc. The next dictation I got from him, he was very nice and apologetic and thanked me for being thorough! The worst that has happened is that I didn't hear anything back from a doc, but that's fine, too. In the unlikely event that the doc STILL wants it spelled incorrectly (which has never happened to me, but it's possible) I would have him put it in writing that he wants it spelled that way.
Duh! Should be carpal tunnel. I really should proof before I hit send. nm

Just send your all proof to Admin. Simple. But

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.
$1900
I cannot figure out why you did not pursue the $1,900. This is nuts, I must say. You have allowed them to take your money and steal what is yours. You should have gone to small claims court. I think you still can. You must do so immediately.
I do anywhere between 1700 - 1900 in an
8-hour day, depends on the dictators.
Rebuild like Galveston 1900 (nm)

$1900 a month for basics - nm

Finally doing $1900 a month now--- still not quite FT yet though - nm

Well, I do about 1800-1900 lines a day
at 8 cpl. I also get some incentive/bonus pay, too.
So, yeah, it can be done. Your statement that anyone working FT from an MTSO can expect to earn less than 25K is extremely self-limited. There are always people who can do more and better.
I average 1700 - 1900 in an 8-hour day. I
have also been doing this for 25+ years and have hundreds of Expanders and bunches of normals/standards that I have created. I am also on only 2 accounts from the MTSO. I also find that Ops are my favorites, and can literally fly through those while maintaining a 99+% accurace rate. It takes time. 16 months is not a long time in this business to increase your speed. My goal is always 200 lines an hour and I usually take a 10 to 15 min. break every 2 hours just to get away from the computer. It can be done.
PROVE IT!!
I get that all the time. I makes me so mad.
don't have to prove anything to any of you...nm

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!
I'm sure she has the QA scores to prove it.
Otherwise, she'd wonder how she was doing instead of speaking the truth.
Take the position, prove yourself and
expect an increase within only a few weeks. Good luck!
Statistics prove...
whatever you want them to prove. As one of my instructors quoted "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics." You've just seen statistics used to prove exactly opposite statements.
Since I cannot prove you wrong
Have a great evening!
I am not the prove it poster. Just want to know
x
No, you said to prove that as you were watching,
That is exactly how it happens. But people can do this type of work from home as well as on-site. I am a member of another transcription board and there are several ladies there that do this. They are always posting jobs on the job board there for this type of work. Why is it so hard to believe that they can do this from home? What would be any different if they were sitting in an office transcribing?
But believe what you want, since you are always right anyway. ;)
I am not worked up. Prove to me that as you
x
I think they mean they don't pay what is owed
I used to work for somebody who did this. They sent the work to India and they worked for free for about 3-4 months without getting paid (yeah, they kept working) and then they would move on to the next company.
I wasn't trying to prove anybody right or wrong nor did I
prove that I am out of touch with this profession. I am still employed as an MT and have been for about seven years now and plan on continuing with this profession because I enjoy it. Once again, I said that I did not have formal training as an MT, but the fact that I had been to nursing school did help me get my first job as an MT because I knew the terminology and could pass the typing test. I think education is wonderful; I just didn't happen to go to school to become an MT. 
The fact is and statistics will prove sm
that the majority of employers do not compensate extra for a CMT. I currently work three jobs. NOT ONE of my jobs compensates me for my CMT, which will expire in 2007 and I will not be renewing it. There are two sides to every coin. Why is it that you feel you have to call people who don't agree with you a whiner. That's very immature and insulting.
I'm glad you think you are owed that much.
I have rarely seen such a ludicrous response as yours.
No moneys owed
Well the problem is........ she is not owed any other moneys.
I have been in business a long time and have always paid the ICs. Doris Latta loves to have drama going. THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING! Where is it?
You should be paid what is owed...
I am glad you are not letting this go and posts like this should remind companies that when you receive a service you have to pay for it. I have had trouble getting paid from other places too, and I am glad you are going after what is rightfully yours. Best of luck to you!
How do I go about getting money owed me
by a small MTSO. She owes me a little over $2000 and I really worked hard for that money but have not yet gotten received it. This is owed me for pay periods ending 4/30 through 05/31. I will not mention names here because I'm not sure I am allowed to do that but would really like to let everyone know who it is so the same thing doesn't happen to them. Thanks for your help.
Nope, hard work and have to prove yourself.
Don't get discouraged though, we have all been where you are at...good luck!!
No, they sent me a check for 2 cents saying they owed it to me. lol
I had better decide where to spend it
I once owed $34,000.00 in back taxes
and set up a repayment schedule, had the money taken out. They did not take all my check, just a small amount, as long as they were paid every month, and it took me over 7 years, but I finally paid them off. They were very, very cooperative and we told that what we could afford to pay them monthly and still pay our bills. They said okay and that was that. I never had any problem with them and I never went to one of those places. Maybe try talking with them and explain your situation.
If someone owed me money since October, I would tell them that I
was not doing any more work for them until they paid me. Hope you did not do the stat for them.
Your $4K cost you $900?? I just did my taxes and on $7182 I owed - sm
$1099 in SE taxes, are you sure you figured it out right? I can't believe my taxes for almost 2 x as much were only $200 or so more than yours. Something does not seem right.
They at least owed you a call/email stating they would not -
After being in contact with an applicant, having them fill out a form, etc., it's just plain rude to give them no feedback whatsoever. What if an applicant let another job pass by while waiting for this one, thinking it was a better job and that because things had gone well on the phone conversation, that the application process would at least continue. Very unfair to you, and very rude of the employer.
didnt work so owed no money
it is bigger equipment and expensive. AND they never worked so I did not owe them any money. Some were so "anxious" to work that I spent a small fortune sending it overnight so they could "get started" because they really needed to work. I want to believe in the best of people, but it is getting harder and harder.
Anybody hired a lawyer to get money owed from MTSO?
I have given MTSO 7 days to finally pay an old invoice but still nothing. Has anybody ever hired a lawyer to write a demand letter and how much did it cost? I believe I have to send demand letter before filing in small claims. The invoice is for just over $200 so don't want to spend a lot of money and be out even more $$.
thanks.
Daughter's friend drove her car into a pond the first week she had her license! Let him prove him

BK does not cover student loans or IRS owed monies. bummer.

The problem is getting an attorney to represent these poor folks that are owed money.
Knowing etranz, they'll just file bankruptcy.
Ditto on Voice Systems. I have a friend who worked for them and ended up being owed .... SM
way more than $1000 when the first company went bankrupt. Also I had applied but decided not to take the job, and the MTSO literally begged me to come to work for them. I'm sure glad I didn't. Maybe this present company they've started will be better, but so far, it doesn't sound like it.
Wait until we get a lower base rate and incentive and no work for incentive.Should prove interesting
because everyone will probably have a lower base rate than now. As I say, should prove interesting.
I proof as I go...nm

I proof after - sm
I finish typing...every line of every single report that leaves my desktop. I may find a typo (and, of, or, etc.) rarely, but I still proofread. It's just something that I do .
I proof after.
k
I proof after
Depending on the report/dictator I can proof during... but I find I catch things better when I proof after. One day I will have the proof during mastered. 
Proof as I go, always have...

Proof as you go DEFINITELY
I was trained to never pass over a word or something in question just to finish the report - you will invaribly miss or forget about it if you skip over it for a "final proof."
Have been an Editor for years and I am amazed at what even seasoned MTs will miss because they figured they would "fix" something when the report was finished. And, yes, your spell check or grammar check is never going to catch the difference between perineal and peroneal, etc.
Proof, of course.
Always have. Never proof again. sm
If I catch something other than spellcheck catches, I change. Otherwise, off it goes. Never, ever proof the entire report again.
No Proof
There is absolutely no proof. The Labor Board DENIED her request as I have been in contact with them. This is an ALLEGATION. The Labor Board does NOT handle Indendent Contractor situations. The paperwork sent in by Doris Latta in reference to Lynn Jester of Jester's Touch was FRAUD. It has been dismissed! If you wish to continue to let just anyone post items about MT Services without PROOF, that's fine with me. I care not! The litigation is between Jester's Touch attorney and Doris Latta at this point so I am not concerned because I am very fair and good to all ICs that have and do work with me.
