Getting paid from DataScript - Inquring MT


Posted: Oct 31, 2012

Would any DataSript MTs out there tell me how/when they pay? I've been working for a month now and signed up for direct deposit from the get go but I have yet to get a paycheck for the work I've done.  Needless to say, I'm concerned. 

Thanks!

I would call and talk to payroll immediately - Before working any further

Waiting a month for the first check makes no sense; even if you signed up for direct deposit, that normally only takes 1-2 trial runs and, for those 1-2 trials, you should have been mailed a check.

I would call payroll ASAP, find out why you haven't yet had a check, and take it from there.

These days, with so many flaky companies out there, protect yourself and don't delay, otherwise you could find out you may have been working for free.

Good luck!

I inquired and she told me that its almost a month wait. If you typed in Oct you will see pay in nov

I would be very wary - my opinion

No one should have to wait a month before being paid. That is ludicrous. If she decides not to pay you, then you have worked a lot of hours for nothing. If it were me, I would tell her I couldn't work any more until I got a check.

November is Here - payme

DataScript - Has Anyone Else NOT Gotten Paid?
Mar 22, 2013

It's bad enough that we are now only getting paid once a month.  I was fully expecting for checks to go out last Friday for pay period 01/15 throuugh 02/15.  It's now a week later and still no check.  Mind you I live cross coutry from Michigan but I think a week is MORE THAN enough time.  Now I'm getting no small amount worried aside from it placing me in a HUGE financial bind now.  Am I the only one?  Have others gotten their checks?   Th ...

Am I Getting Paid Enough?
Jul 16, 2010

I've been working with my company for almost a year now and i'm wondering if I should start looking around at other compaines. I graduated from M-Tec last summer and got a job about a month later, they started me at 0.055 cpl, then in December bumped me up to 0.06 cpl. Since then I have been getting paid the same, while working a lot more. I just want to know if this is good and I should just stick with it, or look somewhere else. Any advice is appreciated! ...

I could really use some advice. I worked for a company for 6 months and then quit when accounts were being lost.  I am owed over $3000.00 (I quit over 6 months ago). I know of 2 other ICs who worked for this company and the total owed to all of us is over $10,000. We have been given every excuse in the book. We have been told the company has gone out of business, that a AmerAssist loan was being sought in order to pay us, etc. We have contacted the Sheriff's Department in her state abo ...

Not Getting Paid ...
Jan 22, 2011

I accepted a part-time job to supplement my regular MT income a few weeks ago from a girl who was advertising here on MTStars.  It's been great, fairly easy work and an excellent extra income.  I guess I should have known it was too good to be true. I was expecting payment last week but am told she can't pay me until she gets paid.  Now, who in their right mind would hire people to do their work when they can't pay on a specific date?  Why would you hire some ...

Does anybody wonder why we don't get paid by the hour like other highly-skilled secretaries and editors?  This line business is a joke!  Why should we get penalized for the bad dictation?  Many years ago, we had a client with dictators from ****.  I called up the director of medical records and apologized for all the blanks.  She told me not to worry about it.  She said she had a box of pens on her desk and she made the doctors take a pen and fill in all t ...

Really, We Should Get Paid When
Jul 23, 2013

. . . we have to retype the entire VR job because it is 99% WRONG. It seems like it is getting worse instead of better.  The last week practically every job has every fifth word right but the rest is wrong.  At some point it quits being voice recognition and is pure transcription.  Any time we have to fix more than 10% of any job = straight typing.  And they wonder why we HATE VR?  It was nothing more than a ploy to get 50% of the MTs pay. ...

I'm not sure I understand the new pay rules. So there's 3 different criteria, line count or quantity, quality, and pending percentage. If we meet 1 criteria only, we get paid only 7 cents (or 3.5 cents editing), right? And if we meet all 3 criteria, is that 8 cents or 8.5 cents? ...

There is a company who is advertising openings.  I went to their website and they are offering the clients VBC at 15 cpl and comparing it to other companies who pay 65 cpl with spaces at 12 cpl.  I am wondering what they are paying their employees.  I won't name the company, because I may apply to them.  They seem like a true IC company where you can set your own hours and such, and those companies are hard to find nowadays. ...
