Encore gave me bad paychecks - UpsetMT

Posted: Aug 07, 2013

I thought I found a good company to work for until I got a two returned checks from them in the mail. The first time I thought mistakes can be made but AGAIN my check was returned. That really upsets me because I work hard for this company and they give me a bad check. There is no excuse for doing this to an employee. I have not been contacted about this check and I just quit because enough is enough. This is very dishonest and unprofessional to say the least. I have a family to take care of and I am not dealing with this nonesense any longer. Be warned everybody, this company gives their employes bad checks!!!!!!

your state's Department of Labor. You can find them by googling. This only works if you are an employee (not an IC). Mine has a form I can download and fill in all the pertinent information and copies of documentation (copies of checks, notices from your bank, etc.) Return it to them, and they will go to bat for you to get your pay.

I hope this works for you and thanks for the warning about this company.

I wonder if you can go through small claims court if you are an IC. They technically have not fulfilled their portion of the contract.

Good luck!

I went through that with another company. I had $350 in overdraft fees which were never reimbursed by the company or bank.

a "criminal offense" to issue "bad checks?" perhaps try contacting the authorities. maybe they have some advice for you. To me, it is not the amount owed, but the principle of the thing that counts most. they are counting on you not doing anything about it, and most do not because they do not think it is "worth it." but if someone owes me money, they had better cough it up because I will get it one way or another, I don't care if it is 1cent. I worked for it, I want it, dang it! :-)

Check kiting is indeed a crime. For others who did not receive sm - Another voice

a bad check and simply were not paid, the only recourse is small claims. If someone has shown that they will not pay you or any other creditors (had over $500,000 in debt), then paying money to file the claim is just adding to the amount you lose. I feel the way that you do, but there comes a point where some of us realize it is time to cut our losses.

Yes, it is. - Why would someone ...

hit the dislike button? Must be an MTSO.

It took weeks to get my money and promises of reimbursement for overdraft fees but that never happened.

So, would you spend $100 to get back that 1 cent you earned? nm - Just another question and another thought

I hope you get the payment but if you don't remember to write the loss off on your income taxes :)

Company Response - Wendy Hyde

I want to extend my deepest apologies for any inconvenience you have experienced. We value our contractors, and we have been working diligently to remedy a situation caused by circumstances beyond our control.

Having recently switched banks, our accounting firm made a clerical error with the new bankâ��s routing numbers. This, unfortunately, forced us to recall our checks. It is important to point out that we immediately took steps to ensure that our partners received their full compensation as quickly as possible. We are coordinating with our bank and accounting firm to prevent this error from reoccurring.

It has been brought to my attention that other statements have been made on this forum that deserve clarification.

It is inaccurate for the originator of this post to claim that she was not compensated for her efforts. Because of the errors previously mentioned, she did experience trouble with previous payments. We acted swiftly to ensure the bank corrected their mistakes and completed payment that same day. We also made the decision to switch to a more reliable bank as a result of these issues.

We are proud of the quality product we deliver to our clients, and weâ��re proud of the transcription professionals we work with each day. In those rare instances when errors have occurred, we have responded immediately to remedy those issues.

On the new platform will you be able to see your line count as you go along or do you still have to go look it up the regular way. At Webmedx it kept a running tab of your lines on the top of the page and you could kind of pace yourself. I really liked that. Also, have they put out a schedule as to when each region will be going over to Encore? ...

I just need to vent. I am an IC who is supposed to get paid every week by my employer.

During that time frame, she even emailed me to see if I was providing my usual weekend coverage. She never replies to my IM, e-mail or phone calls. Her cell does not allow me to leave a message, and now she has a new home phone number that I do not even kn ...

I decided to look how many hours left in PTO and it was deducted today because I used some PTO on this paycheck that should have been deposited in my account yesterday morning. I think that is good news? Payroll doing their job? Maybe it means paychecks should be in our accounts in pending mode which should be deposited first and then deductions taken out next. Otherwise, my direct deposit check would not show until the 12th which to me, is one day late. ...

Hi all. I've been doing medical transcription for over 20 years, and have been with the Q for almost 12 years (the first year in the office and at home, and then they sent us all home). Been through all kinds of changes, from working in the local office and at home, to working at home, to being moved to the responsibility of another office, to that office closing down, then to working for a "virtual office" and finally a "service area." I lost count of how many superv ...
