Finally received my last paycheck from this company YESTERDAY . . . of course I've been waiting since JULY. Oh, and the check is dated for next Tuesday . . .

I think I would be waiting at the front door of whatever bank it is written off of on Tues. morning.

My bank will cash it for me tomorrow. But yeah, it was adding insult to injury to have it post-dated after waiting for 90 days to receive the darn thing. Lucky for me, I didn't have to have it to live/pay bills!
paycheck - me

I would have your bank verify with their bank that the funds are available. Just because you have a check doesn't mean it is good, and if it bounces you get charged for it.

How well I know. Unfortunately I live in another state, and it would cost more to take it to their bank, than the amount of the check.
Did you know you don't have to wait for the date on the check? - You can cash a postdated check immediately. nm
What is wrong with these people??? I am looking for anyone who has had or does have experience with this husband/wife team. I am having a very hard time working at this place and I need to know what the deal is with these people. Are they just RUDE or what?? ...
I once was employed by DIT but fortunately no longer. Was wondering if anyone had an update on them. I am still owed about $1000, but have really given up on ever getting the rest of this money. I took them to small claims back several years ago. Are they still in business? Does anyone know? I got a 1099 with their old address on it which they are supposedly not there anymore. No one can get an address, much less a phone number because there are more claims out there. Just wonder ...
Can anyone give me an updated advice on Hils Transcription? I just got offered a job after testing through an email and didn't even have an interview. This puts up red flags for me.
Thanks. ...
Hi everyone
I just wanted to stop by really quick and let you all know that finally, FINALLY I am off QA. I was given two accounts today in addition to the one they had initially given me. I can now type w/o counting my reports and waiting for feedback first. It remains to be seen of course, whether or not there will be as much work as I was told but so far, this company has been true to their word. Still, four days on a very restrictive QA protocol was quite scary. I am a LOT grayer now ...
had difficulty finding a job with an MTSO and suspect it is because you live in CA (they probably don't like the fair worker's laws we have here, ie, having to pay our benefit rate for OT, having to pay for NJA, etc).
I'm addressing any MTs who have RECENTLY gotten hired by an MTSO AND live in CA. Not ones who live in CA (like me) who have had their jobs for over 3 years or so........
...
Does anyone know if MQ has "cost of living adjustments" in different parts of the country or if everyone in the US makes about the same line rate range? We were thinking of moving to Ca from Texas. I know I make barely enough to keep my head above water here in Texas. Wondering if the Ca MQ transcripitionists make more? ...
I, too, live in California. I'm a level-3 MT, getting mostly ESLs and other difficult dictators. I've brought my QA percentage down from 22 to 20% but it's impossible for me to go any lower with what I'm being routed. It looks like our job description has changed dramatically. Because of these new changes imposed by corporate, I'll now be getting paid 3 cents less through no fault of my own, but a different job description, not what I was hired to ...
Because of our situation with MQ if anyone finds that utility, rent has a shut off notice you can dial 2-1-1 and they will assist you on taking care of this immediate need. ...
Does anyone presently work for or in the recent past worked for FutureNet out of California? They are currently hiring and I would like to know of anyone's experience working for them either as an MT or an Editor. Do they have plenty of work, pay on time, nice to work for, is the pay rate decent, etc. Yes, I have searched the Archives, but would like more recent information if available. Thanks in advance to anyone who can supply this. ...
I need to know if Keystrokes hires California MTs. I am unable to get OT because of the generous OT laws in California so want to know which companies hire California MTs before I waste my time.
Are there MTs in California who work for Keystrokes Transcription Service? ...
To whoever it was that said they are compensated for NJA in California, can you give me some more info on how you found out about CA compensation for NJA? Did your TSM or HR confirm? How exactly do you enter it in Teamwork? I am also a California MT with NJA almost every day. Thanks. ...
I've seen where some companies are not interested in hiring MLSs from California (presumably because of labor laws). I'm wondering if any Nuance MLSs from California have felt some bad vibes lately? I'm wondering if they want to get rid of us. ...
After 18+ years of transcribing, I am flat out of work. For the last 12 years I have worked for a small transcription company with multi-speciality clinics. So my previous hospital experience is not current. That seems to really be hurting. I hopefully have an interview with ProScript this week and was wondering if anyone out there knew anything about ProScript. Thanks for your help. itypeit ...
If you are an employee working in California with an employer in another State you need to be aware of the State of California Labor Laws. I worked for a company in FL and worked overtime for several months. They did not want to pay me time and a half. I made a phone call to the Labor Department and had my back overtime pay and penalties paid within one week. I had the same come up when I was laid off last month. I waited to get my last check for two weeks and then remembered about the ...
find an MT job? I'm currently with a horrible company (you guessed it, starts with M)...and would like to try elsewhere, but I am worried that another MTSO won't hire MTs in California anymore because of their strict employee laws (which are fair to the employee but I'm sure employers don't like)......
So, any CA MTs out there who found a job fairly easily recently? Thanks in advance for any replies. ...
California EDD apparently did a computer upgrade over the Labor Day weekend and -- surprise -- had problems. Possibly 600,000 people have not received their benefits, including me. I am livid. ...
Don't want to give the name of the account, but my primary is a multispecialty clinic in CA... the rest of the docs moved to Epic some time ago, but the Ortho clinic stayed on. Haven't gotten any work from them in the past few days. Wondering if anyone knows if they finally made the switch, too? Would totally suck if that's the case, I always looked forward to those reports. ...
California is one of the few states that require paid breaks. The way Nuance ignores this is illegal. Does anyone have any experience with pushing this issue? ...
Nuance is required to pay for your 10-minute rest breaks separately and clearly display it on your pay stub. You are owed 1 hour of pay for every day PAID breaks are not provided going back 3 years. Their nonsense of stating breaks are figured into your line pay is illegal since when you log out to take a break, your production stops. Contact your local labor commission. ...
