DataScript, Michigan - IAM4GVN

Posted: Sep 19, 2012

Thinking of working for DataScript, but saw a post from BABS about nonpayment. I wondered if this is a trend for this company or a one-time thing. Before I accept position, would like to know if anyone else has had postive or negative experience with them. Thanks!

I was contacted by DataScript as well. I am also curious if anyone has experience with them. @IAM4GVN did you take the test, and if so, have you heard back? I just took it yesterday.

I took the test yesterday and got a request to sign a contract. Once I fax my contract, I will receive login password to start downloading work. I'm anxious to accept it, but I read one comment on nonpayment. I inquired about payment and they mail a check twice a month. I am thinking of calling them to ask some questions and address this concern. Have nothing to lose, yet... If all goes well, I will post a positive response. If you hear anything, please reply.

Just heard back that I had passed the test. Then I read the agreement....Possibly working weekends and holidays. .07 a line based on 70-character line, excluding spaces. No wonder they did not give this information before taking the test!

Maybe we should refuse to apply to any ad not putting - the pay range right there in the ad.

If people ONLY applied to places that were honest and up-front about what they pay, it might force all those "don't ask - don't tell" MTSOs to be a little more forthright.

Not all are in position to just not work becuase of wording in ad. - Some have to take any job they can get. nm

DATASCRIPT DOES NOT PAY! - sm

They owe me over $3000 for a month's work. She gave me ridiculous excuses why she didn't pay, divorce, mid life crises, blah blah. I contacted an attorney who warned me not to file small claims yet because she has lost her house and other assets and is posturing to file BK, and I don't want my lien written off. I have all of the emails and documentation to prove this.

File the small claim - HowTiresome

My advice is go ahead and file the small claim. I was forced to do that with a "company" in Martinez, GA. Didn't want to pay what they owed me after I left. It was only a small amount, a little over 100 dollars. I told them that I would go to small claims court for $100.00 even if I had to travel through three states to do it. I got the check in 1 week. As bad as they are, they really don't want the word out on the street that they are deadbeats. And let's face it, we're all having hard times, it's either her bankruptcy or your bankruptcy.

Also, fellow MTs who work as ICs. Perhaps I missed the boat on this and I'm the last to know, but did you know you could charge interest on any money owed to you that is overdue past the agreed on date of pay? Read on:

"Net 30 Days (or whatever the terms are) are standard credit terms. It means that your client has thirty days to pay the bill or it is considered past due and you can charge interest if your contract or credit application states that you can charge interest. Net 60 Days means that they have 60 days to pay the bill or the same interest charges would apply. If you want money coming into your business it is best to use Net 30 Days as the paying/credit terms. You can also put Due on Receipt on there which means that you want your money now."

Perhaps we should brush up on what it really means to be a business owner. Things don't go all in one direction - all in favor of the service owners (in this case - OUR CLIENTS). It does say "if stipulated in the contract that you can charge interest", but perhaps we should demand that it is stipulated in the contract. I wonder how many other things we should be doing so it is not just the MT that feels the pain, i.e., "has some skins in the game".

and each state has a Statute of Limitations - sm

As the OP on the 3k owed, in Michigan small claims, you DO NOT have to personally appear in court if you live out of state, as I do. The costs are minimal to file the case and have the docs served. I also have a copy of the contract and bid she signed with the State of Michigan for the work she procured (public record). I've waited her out for 3 years and now I see she is hiring, time to nail her - with interest and penalties. She will absolutely lose. I seriously doubt she will even show up to court.

We get paid fine! - J Hoss

I was also worried about non-payment issues with Datascript. But, after working with them for some time now I havenâ��t had any issues. Sometimes my check will be a few days late but nothing too serious. From what I understand the workload is going to increase in the near future. I am looking for part time work until that time but I plan to continue to work with them. They even sent me a Target gift card for the holidays! I have seen a lot of people inquiring about this position and I recommend working for them.

Do you still work for DataScript? Ive been working for them a little over a year and a half. I have enjoyed working with them but I recently asked about a raise and I'm kind of getting the run around and the reason I was given yesterday was because they are losing one of their main hospitals. I just don't know if I should stay and see if work gets slim or start looking for a job now. With only a year and a half experience it kind of sucks to look for a job!
