Assistmed people - get your direct deposit today? - MTinNC

Posted: Sep 25, 2012

For anybody that works for Assistmed, did you get your direct deposit? Mine always, always hits my bank between 12:30 a.m. and 12:45 a.m., except this time of course, when it's critical.

TIA!

AssistMed Direct Deposit - IC

I did not get mine either.

No deposit here either. This is #2 for me. sm - Getting antsy

My deposit is not there either. This is the 3rd time in 4 months for me that there was a delay - twice this month! My check from 9/10 was delayed as well. It is costing me money to get paid, because bills that will draft today/tomorrow will overdraft now. Last payday it cost me $175.00!!

OMG! I don't care what they say - msmt

[ In Reply To ..]
about MModal, at least we get paid on time every time and if it is short more than $100 they overnight it to you.

Is this company going bad? I don't even have the desire to get on and work!! I need my pay!! I work most days a double shift..the hell with that!! Tomorrow is going to be too late. My cell phone will be turned off.. no groceries tonight!

Did anybody get the email/explanation? - not me

[ In Reply To ..]
Supposedly an email was sent out/explanation and if didn't get it should 'check the spam folder.' I didn't get it - did anybody else? If so, would you mind forwarding it to me?

How long have you been with them? Are you an MT or an editor?

Editor for a year - not me

I've still heard nothing other than the 'some time tomorrow.'

GOT IT, FINALLY!! - FINALLY

I finally got my pay. Check your banking accounts, it might be there now.

Are you CST or EST?? - Thank God for you!!

[ In Reply To ..]
Yay!!!

Neither, mountain.

Good for you :) Glad you did. Nothing for me. nm - Getting antsy

Nothing here either, and I usually get mine midnight. - EST

[ In Reply To ..]
Why would they not all hit at the same time, and why would someone 2 hours behind get it before EST did? I passed panic mode a long time ago, especially facing no electricity. All I got from mgmt was "someone else got their's, keep checking" which means they won't be as proactive about checking into anything.

Depends on time they sent the funds to process. sm - Getting antsy

[ In Reply To ..]
In this case - the further West you are the better your chances are. Most likely east coasters are screwed and wont get deposits until tomorrow. If they missed the ACH transfer time (which is 8 pm EST) to send the funds to process, then we wont get money until tomorrow according to my bank. But if they made the cutoff time for ACH transfers in other time zones - like MST and PST - then those funds will likely post today.

My real issue is why did this happen! Why was there not a confirmation check that everything was sent and received? I think the payroll department missed their due diligence duty by not confirming that all of the records had been transmitted properly. There is no excuse for that.

I also think that the company should have to reimburse us for any financial overdrafts that this may have caused us!

Agreed. This never should have happened - AND

[ In Reply To ..]
Why did the employees get paid and we didn't? That makes no sense at all to me. Is it not all processed together?? It sounds more to me like they're doing some scrambling fund-wise. I don't want to think that, but cannot keep ignoring the red flags of not only this, but other things that are taking place there currently. Their lack of concern about this is not acceptable, either. They certainly expect us to be the polar opposite, however.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm going to keep checking but honestly I'm not at all hopeful about it. I do wonder if they'll even be concerned about those who do not get their deposits today, or if they'll just blame it on our banks. :( I ALWAYS get mine at midnight the day of payday, so I'd say my bank is not at all slow or slacking.

Well I just had an interesting conversation with my bank - again. - Getting antsy

[ In Reply To ..]
I spoke with my bank who can now see through the ACH transfers that my deposit is there. She indicated that it was sent at 3:50 a.m. this morning with instructions not to release/settle funds to payee until 9/27. Now why would they restrict settlement of the funds until tomorrow? Why - if according to their email at 11 a.m. yesterday morning that they had found the problem and corrected it - did they not send the funds until 3:50 a.m. this morning, nearly 17 hours later. And then with instructions not to release funds until yet another day!!

I think it was intentional - to miss the cutoff. I think they did not have funds available to pay us and used this delay tactic to buy them another day. They paid the employees because if they did not - they would have issues with the Department of Labor. They can skirt by not paying the ICs because the only recourse we have is civil claims.

I mean why would my bank lie? They even sent me a copy of the transmission.

DATE/TIME COLL 09-26 03:50
DATE/TIME DIST 00-00 00:00
DIST SETT DATE 09-27

Wonder how they are going to explain this one away? I have just had enough. Enough!!

OMG See! I knew it!! - Time to get off this sinking ship!

[ In Reply To ..]
Unbelievable!! Why would they release it to some people though, and not others??? Also had a feeling something was up when the person I typically have contact with, who is always, always sooo responsive was silent. So was payroll. Have you brought this to their attention?? I can't wait to hear the explanation on this one!! You do NOT treat people this way. I work my days off, double shifts, bend over backwards. I won't do it again. I'm not working until I get my money. Period.

I'll be thinking of them while my cats are going hungry - or I have to not get one of them to the vet

or when I look in my empty fridge, or when I don't have a place to live. What cowards.

Pass the buck again. Sighs. - Getting antsy

[ In Reply To ..]
Their response -

From what I can see on our side, payroll was processed, Paychex pulled the funds from our bank account so I know of no reason for a hold. I would contact your bank again and if necessary, have them contact our bank to get them to release the funds.

Regards,

My bank said that even with verbal confirmation from their bank - they were instructed to hold funds from the sending bank and cannot release the funds until 9/27. So - we wait yet another day.

They'll never admit it. - Same thing as a postdated check

[ In Reply To ..]
They did it to me too. I was told the exact thing by my bank, and that they could not release it without written confirmation from the bank, but then they would have to actually admit they did it wouldn't they? Keep us posted, please.

I JUST got mine - but it is short

[ In Reply To ..]
considerably short. So now another something to deal with but at least it's enough to keep my electric on. Did anybody else get shorted?

That is ridiculous!! You are letting them get away with - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
not paying you and then you whine about it? STOP WORKING FOR THEM!! Wow!! Seriously I cannot believe you people!

I definitely couldn't work for - paymeontime

[ In Reply To ..]
someone that I couldn't trust to have my pay in on time. I did work for someone like that for just a little while. She paid by check though and I worked in her office and she never asked me, but she would ask a couple of the ladies to wait to cash their checks until she could transfer money from her personal savings account into the business account. I left not too long after that happened a couple of times.

I quit. I'm NOT putting up with it. - Done.

[ In Reply To ..]
This is the first time they've done this to me, but it will be the last. It's 4 in the afternoon and not even the decency to let us know what is going on.

Assistmed - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
Well, hell, have to vent somehow!! And, it takes at least 2 weeks to a month to get on with a new company.. a good one anyway.

Nothing by way of explanation. sm - Getting antsy

[ In Reply To ..]
No response to emails from anyone in payroll. This is really getting old. Glad all of the salaried people got their payday today.

I spoke to someone by phone. All I got was - Disgusted and starving

[ In Reply To ..]
"they should clear by tomorrow." I also got one solitary email this morning saying we would all get an email about the situation 'soon.' Payroll does not answer emails, and neither does anybody else. You know, even an acknowledgement of all this would go a long way, but they do not even have the decency to do that. But hey, why should they worry? THEY got their money, right?? :( And it's really easy to say 'find another job' but jobs are hard to find, and then there is the time involved to do it and get hired. What happens in the interim? Yes, I'm looking, but again, it takes time, and it's so easy to say it when you're not in that position.

Didnt get mine either!! - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
I can't afford this!! May have to look for another job that is reliable. Their files can be late!!

You poor people. - flmt

[ In Reply To ..]
I couldn't imagine not getting paid on time. I do have a second job that is great also. She pays whenever you send her an invoice. Even if it is twice a week. You can get paid the same day you send in the invoice if you live close enough to drive there.

This is just awful :,< - High and dry

[ In Reply To ..]
I did hear "there's a problem with payroll" and we would be "getting an email soon" about it, but nobody wants to answer WHEN we are getting our money. I cannot even tell you what a horrible position this has put me in. I don't have the desire to get on and work either, when I work my tail off for them. They've put me in a dangerous situation here. All I can do not to quit.

Employees got paid but ICs did not. Still waiting to here why and when... - IC

They say by tomorrow - We will see

By tomorrow they will clear. Still no word on why it happened and when exactly that is.

CANT AS AN IC, THERE IS NO RECOURSE - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
Can't when you're an IC. There is no recourse.

I bet if nobody logs in to work, they'll get off their butts. - Done.

[ In Reply To ..]
Unacceptable. It's not that easy to find a job anymore either. Anybody know of good, paying places that are hiring??

This happened twice in the six years I was with them.... - anon19

[ In Reply To ..]
both times it was the payroll company they use, and generally the payroll company hiring a new employee who did not get the records in on time. Those with overdrafts were asked to send documentation and they were paid. Most everyone received their paychecks the following day. I am not defending them, believe me, I REALLY dislike ASSISTMED probably more than just about anybody else. I am just saying sometimes these things happen. I was not happy with not being paid on time either, but they did eventually make it right. That being said, I also believe there are some "internal things" going on that may have the company in jeopardy, but I have no proof, only a "gut feeling" what with some of the "higher ups" hitting the road and moving on without apparent reason after having been with them since the beginning. Very strange, and it would put me "on guard" if I were still with them. I wish you all luck! Keep us advised of the payroll situation.

I agree that mistakes happen, but they could communicate - not me

[ In Reply To ..]
I also agree with you that there is something going on in the company, feels like sitting on a sinking ship. I've been there plenty of times and the red flags are always the same. Is it any wonder though, the way they are about quality? They let so much slide by, and slap hands for being too particular. Thanks for the information!

communication was never one of their strong points.... - anon19

[ In Reply To ..]
they never even acknowledged that I had "resigned my position" for well over a month, and only then for the tech support people to take their software off of my computer, which fortunately, I already had done! I never trusted them "remoting in" to do anything.

Well, I'm definitely looking. - need QA opening

[ In Reply To ..]
They do seem to not talk to one another around there, but I've tried to just ignore it as 'there is something you're not going to like in every company you work at' but this?

Anyone get their deposits? I still didn't!! sm - Getting antsy

[ In Reply To ..]
Well - after all the song and dance yesterday, still no check today. Wonder whose fault it will be today? No theirs of course, not the payroll company - that was the excuse yesterday. Today they will blame my bank.

STILL NO CHECK!! - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
No, still no check for me either! I'm going to stop busting my butt to get their files in so that THEY get paid because I'M NOT EVEN PAID!!!

AMEN! Seriously, we have to hit them where it hurts - Want your files?

[ In Reply To ..]
Well, I want my money.

I WANT MY MONEY TOO!!!! - ME

[ In Reply To ..]
I'm NOT doing any further work until I see my money!!!

I'm not either. NOBODY should! - As long as we take it

[ In Reply To ..]
As long as we take this crap, they're going to do it. It would take them days to a week to get someone in to do the work we do. I'm not doing another line until they fix this. Not that I'll be able to, my power is about to go unless I pay my bill today.

REPLY FROM MGT - ANOTHER ONE NOT GETTING PAID

[ In Reply To ..]
I am aware of the situation, have escalated to payroll and upper management, and am awaiting an update. They are in California so it is still before business hours there. I understand your frustration and will let you know more when I hear back.

I got that too - Same old crap

[ In Reply To ..]
I got the same thing not too long ago, but isn't that what they said yesterday??? Something is really wrong.

I didn't get mine either after all the B/S yesterday - About to be in a serious situation

[ In Reply To ..]
Not here either, but I was assured "we'll get it taken care of." Something is seriously wrong here, especially considering the employees got their money and we did not. I cannot even tell you what this is doing to my situation. Maybe if NOBODY works they will do something!!
