living paycheck to paycheck
Yeah, I feel your pain. I shop for as much groceries as possible in the Dollar Aisle at a local Kuhn's grocery store. Hopefully you have something like that around you.
Serious Poll: Paycheck-to-Paycheck
1. Are you living paycheck-to-paycheck? Defined: Missing one paycheck would seriously harm your basic living (housing, food, utilities or necessary meds/medical care).
2. If you lost your job today, without warning, do you think you could be employed again within 1 payperiod?
3. Do you have an emergency fund in case a loss of job happens?
My answers:
1. Missing 1 paycheck would hurt but not devastate me. Mising 2 or more, yes - it could be dire.
2. Yes, most definitely.
3. Started one and slowly building it up.
paycheck
Mine was direct deposited yesterday, Wednesday.
paycheck
I worked for them for about 7 months the first 5 with direct deposit was fine but the last couple where they mailed checks was bad!!! My last several checks were 2-3 weeks late. Several people have left here. The "captain" is crazy. You would not believe some of the crazy & nasty emails he sent me. I would definitely get out of here unless you like waiting 2-3 weeks for a check and then are not sure if it will clear. Yes I heard a few checks bounced. Sorry I could go on and on about this guy but I think I have said enough. Good luck to you.
first paycheck?
It usually takes a full billing cycle for direct deposit to get going in my experience.
paycheck
Yeah the MTSO was responsible in that if they had payed her when it was agreed upon she could have paid her bills and wouldn't be in a financial bind. If you have your paycheck you can pay your bills. You work to pay bills, not for the heck of it. Yeah, you should have a cushion but they should pay on time. You think a sick child is an excuse you go pay a few doctor bills a see how much "cushion" you can keep in the bank. Don't judge people without knowing the circumstances. You don't know what is wrong with the child or how frequently they have to go to the doctor and it costs money not to mention the medicine. They have an agreed upon paydate and she has every right to be angry when she doesn't get her money. People work to pay bills. Alot of people don't have a big cushion in the bank.
No paycheck
I started with a company about three weeks ago, and here is the situation. This is my first transcription job, so I think I was a little too eager to jump at the job offer when it was given to me. They charge a "set up fee" of 100.00 that is taken out of the first paycheck. I am only getting paid 5 cents/line, so I did not make that much more than the 100.00 (I think about 40.00). The pay period ends on the last day of the month and checks are issued on the first of every month. They do not offer direct deposit, so I have been waiting for the last nine days for my measly 40.00 check. I really just want it to have documentation that I have paid the stupid set up fee (which I am embarrassed that I even agreed to). I have emailed them 5 or 6 times with no response whatsoever. They continue to send me work, and will (usually) answer questions regarding work, but NOTHING about my requests to see where my check is.
I have since found a much better and higher paying position with another (wonderful) company, but I do not really want to put in my 2 weeks' notice until I have that check. Any ideas??
definitely paycheck to paycheck sm
Losing even 1 would devastate me.
I am the only wage earner, and it is paycheck to paycheck.
There is nothing set aside to help, just in case. But I definitely feel I could get another job almost immediately with my skills and experience.
It's a hard knocklife. 
You will have paycheck on Monday 711/05

Why is it that the more desperately you need your paycheck,
the later the mailman is delivering?
Production is my paycheck
I work in 1 of my bedrooms with a big window facing the driveway. I have done this work for 30+ years. The office also has my husband's computer in it. I have absolutely no problem in keeping my mind on my work, the pay alone is the answer, no work, no pay and the more lines the better I feel when I get that check. I never see things I should do around the house because I have a housekeeper that comes every other week and takes care of things like that for me. Housework is about the last thing I want to do!!
whoever signs your paycheck
has the final say.
But, you might consider drawing up a "contract" that states the terms and conditions ... the dotor takes the ultimate responsibility ... your initials are only a reference ... and so forth. You sign it and they sign. Throw in a notary.
Not when your paycheck depends on it, it isn't.
p
To get the paycheck I want, I work
5 days a week and I type 1500 lines per day. I am radiology and therefore this is easy to achieve and for the most part, I am done in less than 7 hours but I will put in 7 hours.
No paycheck, need advice
I have worked for a company since April 21 of this year. I began asking about my first paycheck around the beginning of May, because it was my understanding that I would be paid for what I worked in April on May 1. After asking MANY times, one of my bosses (they are husband and wife) finally responded to me (saying that he had already responded many times) only when I stated that I would not continue to submit any more work until I got an explanation of where my paycheck was. He told me that I had misunderstood when I was hired, and that I would be paid June 1st for the pay period of March 5 - April 29. I decided (stupidly) to continue working, and the same thing has happened this month. I have been given three different explanations as to when my paycheck was mailed. Today, I finally stated, again, that I would not submit work until I received either the paycheck, or a faxed copy or emailed copy of something that proved that a check was issued and mailed to me. He was very rude, and basically said, he would not do it, and I would be "shut off" from work. The wife emailed me and said she did not want me to quit, and that the check had been resent the previous day. I subsequently gave my two-weeks' notice, and stated that I would complete any and all assignments given in the next two weeks, but wanted to quite thereafter (which I have to do according to the contract I signed). I live in CA, and the company is located in PA... and I already submitted a back-wage complaint online, but do not know what else to do. I have read recently that other people have had this problem, and am in contact with someone else that works there currently, who has only received one paycheck, and has worked for them since January. They also charge a "start up fee" of 100.00, so the check I am waiting on is only for 17.00! It's not the money, It is the fact that I have worked very hard for 2 months and have not been paid! He was also very rude and brought up personal things about myself and family in his emails. ANY ADVICE is MUCH appreciated. Thank you.
SS paycheck question for SS employees
This is my first check and it seems like they did not hold out taxes, does anyone know if you get a copy of a paycheck to see?????
I don't feel in control of my paycheck
For example, I start out on a roll, going along at a really good pace.. get half my production in a few hours, then all h - - - breaks loose. Here comes the bad stuff...All of a sudden, its not about skill... its about detective work...hunting foreign referral doctors names and addresses, etc, many times I can't even understand what the name starts with. I have to search and search for what seems like hours just to get what might or might not be the right name! OOPS...there goes that production. I'm at the mercy of my "pool". I have no control over that or the paycheck from that point on. Any suggestions?
Self-employed even worse getting paycheck
Bill three doctors at the end of the month, and still waiting two weeks later, sometimes three. I even stay up all night and do a 12h turnaround time. You'd think they would see I was paid in a reasonable amount of time!
Are there any deductions for taxes on your paycheck?
nm
Nada! My work and paycheck are enough!

Affected my paycheck - a verb

Would you work for a co. that docked your paycheck for blanks?
nm
Right, they want all this time off, yet you can bet they expect a FULL paycheck come payday! nm
.
don't worry, they'll catch it. Probably take it out of your next short paycheck.nm

Dear, I'm wondering if the economy has effected your paycheck...
something tells me it hasn't.
And should you not receive your final paycheck in a reasonable amount of time,
notify them that you will be filing complaints with the Department of Labor, the BBB, the FTC, the state attorney general's office, and small claims court.
As an IC you invoice the company, count your own lines, and receive a paycheck.
First Choice, JLG, QT Medical, Metro in Atlanta, just to name a few.
Most use SylCount or something similar. I used Abacus - free line counting software.

Try http://www.softscript.com - never runs out of work.
try softscript
SS hires newbies, you can try them, but BEWARE!!!! I wish you the best. It would be a foot in the door and experience, but be thick skinned!!!!
SoftScript (rip-off)
I am looking for an honest MT position from home. SoftScript is stealing my lines and I am sick of it. Any suggestions?????
Softscript
weshouldstarttypinglikethissincewedonotgetpaidforspacesANYMORE. SEE HOW THE CLIENTS LIKE THAT
SoftScript
Yes, amazing huh? The minutes transcribed were approximately 80/90 so it was not like I transcribed a bunch of one liners but what is even more amazing is they actually had the nerve to scold me for being under the daily requirement, imagine that..
SoftScript
You are right, I know this has happened at least twice last month and I cannot tell you how many since I started, the line counter goes down and they tell you to continue working it will catch up and be accurate which I can't see how as it seems not to be accurate when it is working. Don't get me wrong, I do not wish to bash anyone and whether the inaccuracy of their line counting software is intentional or not, I could not say for sure, but it is definitely inaccurate and what started out as a company with management friendly and helpful quickly turned to cold shoulders and snappy remarks. Thank you for your replies
Softscript
 Hi ladies and gents,
I would like to know more about Softscript, so far I passed the test for a QA position and will have my interview today, but the Recruiter's messages sound very rude.
I have a good job right now although I am running out of work frequently. Any opinions welcome. Miryam.
about softscript
Has anyone worked for SoftScript recently, or no of anyone who has? If so I would appreciate some feedback on them and what they are like.
Thanks
SoftScript
Worked for them 1.5 years and they were great for acute learning at first but thentheydidntpayforspaces and lied and my checks were getting smaller and smaller for the same hours. I worked to exhaustion to make what I did in 8 hours. I left.
SoftScript
Can anyone tell me anything about softscript. Are they a good company to work for?
softscript
They are a terrible company - don't go there!!! Look in the archives for more about this company. I have never seen anything positive about them. I worked there for about a year and it was awful.
Softscript does

 whazzup with softscript??? cant seem to get my line count up they keep changing my accounts when i do and give me Dr. asplkgabppsdkgiapdofnb every time. evidently this is not uncommon. glad to accept a new position today!!!!!!
SoftScript
I have only been an MT for about 8 months. SS hired me right out of school (though I do have a nursing school background). I am very rarely out of work. I get paid on time. Most of the dictators are good. I have a few that are not, but doing the same ones repeatedly helps to learn their accents. I have no complaints. Management can be a bit loopy, but hey, that can be anywhere you go. Unless an email is directed straight at me instead of GLOBAL I just keep chugging on my merry way.
SoftScript
Does anyone know anything about this company? They have sent me some information on their requirements, but I'm questioning them because I will have to shell out over $200 to start working for them. This doesn't seem right to me, so if anyone can help me out I'd be grateful.

I have to pay for the foot pedal (which is $169) and a medical spellchecker program. I'm just guessing that's going to be around $30 or so, plus I'll have to buy more memory for my computer because I'm almos out, and I am on my computer all the time because I design website templates (personal) and don't have enough space right now. My computer is almost 5 years old.
SoftScript
Run away from them!!!
SoftScript seems different now...
I recently hired on with SS and found it to be quite different than people in the past have claimed. When I came, they matched what I made at my previous place, and I've heard that they give regular reviews and rate increases with a good review. I'm happy as heck! They have a ton of work, and I do real good with OT and all- better than my last two places combined! The mentor I have and the trainer and supervisors all are very nice. I had computer issues early on, but my laptop was beat up. They even helped me get a desktop through Dell. Whatever happened in the past seems to be gone because I like it and the place described here would not have been good for me! I got a bonus for referring a friend, too.
SoftScript
Anyone ever heard of SoftScript? I guess they are based out of CA? Has anyone ever worked for them before? I would like to know more about their platform and pay...
SoftScript
Anyone currently working at SoftScript, what is your experience? I started there 2 weeks ago, getting error messages like crazy on the platform, can't save reports, losing voice file connection halfway through, after my reports go through QA sometimes they disappear from the system and I get no line count credit. Nobody at SoftScript responds to emails. Even my mentor seems to have disappeared.
SoftScript
Does anyone out there currently work for SoftScript? I would like to know how their management style is, how well they pay, etc. THanks.
SoftScript
Hmmm...I appreciate all the input. It's so hard to tell these days. Hopefully, I'll hear from some full-time current workers there. Thanks guys!
SoftScript
With all the bad written about this company (as a matter of fact, I've not heard anything good about them at all), why would you accept the job?

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has worked for any of these companies. I'm down to making my final choice. Thanks!
