WORKING CONDITIONS - JUSTASKING
Posted: Dec 09, 2013
HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD ACCEPT A POSITION WHERE THE EMPLOYER DOES NOT HAVE (OR WILL NOT GIVE YOU) A FORMAL PAY SCHEDULE (MEANING YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PAY PERIOD STARTS OR ENDS), HAS DECIDED NOT TO OFFER DIRECT DEPOSIT ANYMORE, BUT INSTEAD TELLS EMPLOYEES TO GET A NETSPEND CARD OR OTHER CARD AND THEY WILL LOAD YOUR CARD DIRECTLY (MINUS THE 3.85 IT TAKES TO SEND IT THROUGH WESTERN UNIT OR MONEYGRAM), DOES NOT ANSWER EMAILS ON TIME, IF AT ALL, WILL PAY YOU LATE, BUT NOT NOTIFY YOU AND GET MAD WHEN YOU GO OVER THEIR HEAD TO GET AN ANSWER?
THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION AS THERE IS A COMPANY OUT THERE THAT RUNS THIS WAY....ISN'T IT UNETHICAL NOT TO PROVIDE A PAY SCHEDULE SO THAT YOU CAN TRACK YOUR LINES, ETC ? WHO CAN I CONTACT TO HAVE THIS COMPANY INVESTIGATED OR AUDITED AS THEY ARE CHEATING THEIR WORKERS OVER AND OVER? HELP
ummm... NO WAY - just sayin
[ In Reply To ..]Nope... never...
Which company is this... - Depressed
[ In Reply To ..]so I don't go there.
answer - absolutely not! - oldsterMT
[ In Reply To ..]I wouldn't even consider not having definitive pay periods.
Yes, a person should know which days a paycheck is for so that they can calculate what the amount would be.
I don't care if there is no direct deposit. A check in the mail also works for me.
What's the name of this company?
Just a question - Nick
[ In Reply To ..]Why are you shouting?
Just asking - Old Pro
[ In Reply To ..]And here is a serious answer: I would run so fast from such a proposed deal that I would probably break my fat old legs.
Sounds like they are out of the country (sm) - Rose
[ In Reply To ..]Could be a scam. Have you Googled the company name?

Working Conditions Will Get Better
May 04, 2015
I'm pretty sure that if everyone just works hard and keeps their powder dry, the working conditions will eventually get better. Someone, somewhere, in the upper ranks is probably working right now to improve the working conditions of the MT. I'm not holding my breath for that to happen though. I would love to be surprised for the sake of all my MT friends. If the conditions improved 100%, I wouldn't go back. I love medical coding more than I ever enjoyed MT, and I enjoyed it a lot ...

US MT Working Outside Of The US
Nov 12, 2010
I have an odd question. If a US trained Medical Transcriptionist works from home (in the U.S.), but then decides to spend 1/2 the year (or more) in a foreign country, is it possible (ethical/legal) to continue working as an MT while in that country? The MT would keep the US address, and bank account. All paychecks would continue to be direct deposited into current U.S. bank account. MT would continue to pay U.S. taxes on all monies earned. Does anyone see anyt ...

Watching TV of a night with hubby sleeping in his recliner is the main thing I am "missing out on". I don't spend as much money because I simply don't have the time to go out shopping other th ...
