then says they will have to make it up on the next paycheck. This has gone on for over a year now, with so few checks correct that it just boggles my mind. I just want to know who I can contact to make this company pay me correctly. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

10,500 to 11,000 consistently,
five 8-hour days.
Any agency you use should be licensed and bonded.
and always to check to make sure that's really the case because some tell you they are when they are not, just to save money on the fees and make themselves appear more credible and trustworthy.
Merry Maids is a good start!
As far as creditors, once you signed up with the agency, they have sm
NO CHOICE but to work with the creditors and YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT calls from them. There are plenty of laws on the books protecting people like you. You need to contact your agency ASAP and tell them which creditors are harrassing you (yes, that is what they are doing if you cannot afford to pay them), and quit talking to them. Trust me on this one. My husband and I years back got into a major bind and worked with a credit agency where we learned about a lot of laws.
So, we began writing our own cease and desist letters directing them to our agency or saying "we want to deal with the original creditor and not YOU", i.e., capital one, etc., and they left us alone. We cleared out debt and it's been pleasant ever since.
So, you have fallen upon rough times. We all have. You HAVE options. You can keep your house and you can have phone call-free days.
You are doing the RIGHT thing by using an agency instead of filing for bankruptcy. Too many people are filing because they see no end, but there are ways to avoid bankruptcy. Plenty of ways.
Good luck
It is JAHCO and having worked for a gov't agency
with rules also in place - there was a 5-day rule to have your interview dictated - although they then wanted typed within 7 days - the biggie was having dictated w/i 5 days so would be fresh in the mind of the dictator - and think that sort of applies here too... obviously H&P needs to be dictated so patient can be admitted and paper work started but in my mind thinking OP needs to be dictated STAT while still fresh in mind of doctor before he forgets a lot of the details! There are also safety issues obviously - H&P first, any consult next before surgery so surgeon can have all the facts, but just because dictated does not mean MT has to kill herself to get it done - what is that saying about 'your incompetence is not my emergency'............Or something like that????
This gov't agency does not prohibit offshoring,
that is, it was not explicitly or implicitly stated in the RFP. But I have a feeling they knew by the ridiculously low price that the "C" company was funny business. My company did state in its cover letter that the agency should inquire of other vendors whether they offshore work.
Anyway, my company is not going to protest because the contract went to, I have to say, a great competitor. Frankly, we don't want to be bothered because the agency made prospective vendors jump through hoops of fire for a small amount of work each month (IMO and exp).
2 words - collection agency
Technically speaking you have to use a collection agency of some sort for a certain amount of time before being able to write it off as a bad debt. Yeah, they take like 30% sometimes if they collect the debt but 70% is better than 0%. I have done it. I have had to do it twice. One i had to write off and the other I got paid. You will have to have some proof of billing and your trying to communicate with them. I would even send them a registered letter via mail and give them 7 days or you will turn them over to collections. Add a nice fat late charge to that...i dunno 30% or so. hee hee. :)
Can you send it to a collection agency?
Is there any way you could send this to a collection agency?  I don't know if it would work for this, but I know that some places that give out equipment (like Direct TV, etc.) has in their contracts that the quipment is only for as long as you have the service and must be returned to them as it's still their property.
I know it's not the same thing, but it seems like this would fall into that category as it was assumed that it's still your equipment and they were only allowed to use it as they were working for you.
I agree that it's stealing. You wouldn't go into an office and just take equipment home from there, so what gives you the right to take it from a company via mail?
Has anyone ever worked for a temp agency? sm
I am thinking of working for a temp agency for extra income. I am trying to find out what kind of testing do they do.
But I dont' do that consistently, wish I did ! --normally do about 800 a day - sm
but Sundays I usually hit between 1000-1500 as I save my weekend work for that day and do it all at once. Fun.
Tom's wives have been consistently
10 years younger than the previous. Looks like he'll be scoping out the Middle Schools soon. LOL.
If you have a MT who is consistently making
the same mistakes after being given copies, corrections, etc., then it is time to refer all of this to her supervisor.
Well, at least it will consistently come close!
If an MT is so concerned that she is being cheated out of money, she needs to be proactive and figure out how to verify line counts. I either use Word or an old version of MPCount that I downloaded off the Internet for free. It was my experience that nearly every company I ever worked for was right on or even paid a bit more than my line counts indicated. (Except for ONE company and we all know which one that is!)
12,000 lines per week for me - consistently. nm

Probably because I'm an MT and I don't like to see consistently misspelled words.
Perhaps they don't bother you. I pity your employers.
So you consistently do 520 lines an hour??

Per above posts, often it only takes a letter or two to the company and/or right agency. Is

That's what I'm thinking, too. Our agency told us to refer ALL creditors to them
and they were awesome. I'm thinking she doesn't have a good one, either. She definitely needs to call them or switch agencies, like the one you mentioned, to help her.
I have consistently made in the upper $40s to mid $50s in this business.
I have not been chained to the computer. I have even worked just 3 days a week to make that. Long days, mind you, but still only 3 days a week.
I have a talent and great aptitude for this work. I also am fiercely protective of my work time/environment. I work very hard while I'm working. Thus, I do not have to work more than 40 hours a week.
Sit in disbelief all you want. Just remember, you are the one not making the money while many of us are.
Don't understand what that question means. I consistently
make between $20 and $25 an hour, don't have to type 500 lines an hour to make that, it is all in what her cpl is.
if the child is adorable and has charisma, i would take him to a professional modeling agency.
if they see something in him, they will pay to train him and do the photos for free as they will make money on him. if they aren't willing to do this or they want to charge you, i would think he is just like millions of other children, adorable but not so much that an agency would hire him as is. most models are "discovered" because of their charisma/beauty and don't go through the costs involved to get photos, etc. the agencies do it for them because they see potential.
The blame needs to be placed with the company who allows MTs doing consistently shoddy work to

Only a person who consistently leaves blanks because they are lazy should be docked.
Or maybe they should just be fired. The first place I ever worked docked us for errors that we should not have made. I was only docked a couple of times, and it was only a small amount, but it made me pay attention and be more careful, and I think it made be a better MT.
I work for an agency, type for a major hospital - no hourly wage - just production. nm

Have a hospital I work for and they consistently change work types and do line counts. (sm)
Management just doesn't understand in order to crank out the work you need to be proficient by typing the same accounts. Go figure, they just don't get it ??
