I worked for an MTSO in Maine who never paid - fed-up MT
Posted: Jun 01, 2012
me my final wages when I quit working for her. She owes me over $400.00. I live in another state besides Maine. Do I file a wage dispute with the labor board in Maine or where I reside? I do know that the MTSO is licensed in my state.
absolutely! and then send an email - sm
[ In Reply To ..]to the owner stating that you are owed $400.00, that you filed a claim with the labor board, you are next going to file a complaint with the better business bureau, and then you also intend to file a small claims case. Make a final mention that you will be writing a letter to the newspaper and will be posting their name on MTStars and on Facebook that they do not pay their employees. Make as much noise as you can.
Thank you so much! I feel 100% better after - fed-up MT
[ In Reply To ..]your reply and I needed that today!
Have a great day.
P.S. -- I never thought about FB, but good idea.
Dont let them get away with it! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]You tell them that you will be the biggest pain in their behind until you are paid. Call and e-mail daily, and do not back down. Post their name everywhere. Heck, Id even call for you and say, "I hear you dont pay your employees! How disgusting!" Just post the company name and I will e-mail daily as well!!!
I am just about ready to post their name but - fed-up MT
[ In Reply To ..]I don't think any amount of calling them or e-mailing will get me the money I earned from them. The MTSO's motto is "money first, people second." Thank you though for offering to help.
Go ahead and post their name. A lot of MTs - sm
[ In Reply To ..]will appreciate it. Do not pay attention to those who say it is wrong to post their name. It is wrong not to pay employees!!!!
I will check with MTStars to see if it is okay to - fed-up MT
[ In Reply To ..]post their name because they do advertise on this site under job seeker's. Then maybe the owner can come on this board and tell us all why she would not pay her MT their final paycheck of over $400.00!
Well no offense but if it has already been - sm
[ In Reply To ..]4 months, they won't pay and no reason to check with MTStars, but that is JMHO.
Four months is not too long to file a complaint - fed-up MT
[ In Reply To ..]against a company who has failed to pay their employee. No offense taken either, I appreciate your concern.
Of course it is not too long to file a complaint. That is not - sm
[ In Reply To ..]what I said. I said if they have not paid by now, it is doubtful they will.
Fed-Up MT - Old Pro
[ In Reply To ..]Also file a formal complaint with the Attorney General's office in Maine and also in the state in which you reside. Tell her you are going to do so. That ought to make her sit up and take notice.
Thank you, Old Pro. So far she has ignored my - fed-up MT
[ In Reply To ..]certified letter requesting my wages. I check the mailbox daily but 4 months have gone by and no paycheck. I am fed-up and will contact the AG and everyone else that I need to legally.

My New MTSO

Hi, I hope this is the right forum to post this on. I have a few questions pertaining to my new MTSO business. Any input or advice would be helpful. First of all, I need help with pricing. I charge my clients .12 per 65 character line. I believe that is the going rate for my area. I am wondering what to pay my transcriptionists and editors. I originally thought to pay my transcriptionists .08 per 65 character line and my editors .04 per 65 character line but then I wouldn't be making any pr ...

MTSO
Jul 19, 2011
If I owned a MTSO company, and if I were monitoring this board in order to glean comments made about my company, and if I were unhappy with what I read, I would do the following: I would send a company-wide e-mail to my people asking for their input on what I could do to make things better for them and correct the problems aired on this board. I would realize that there are companies that would make life difficult for MTs who dare to complain about an injustice and that they ne ...

MTSO Rates
Nov 23, 2009
Do you think the MTSOs cut their rates to their clients who are now using VR just as they have cut their MTs rates? Seems that some MTSOs are scrambling for some reason to cut everyone's pay down (even their MT pay, not just ME pay). I wonder if they are in over their heads with this new venture into VR and losing their arses and realizing it isn't quite the godsend everyone is making it out to be. One can hope, and would serve them right! As far as MTSO rates are co ...
Nonpayment By An MTSO
Jan 03, 2010
How does one go about collecting money from a small MTSO who still owes me $1,049 for transcription I had done for them? I quit working for them in May 2009 when I hadn't received payment. I sent them several e-mails and they did pay me some of the money owed me. Originally they owed me $2,049; paid me with one check for $500, then two more checks for $200 each, which were sent to me every few months in between. They kept telling me they would pay me off the com ...

10 Suggestions For All MTSO's:
Mar 24, 2010
To all MTSO's:1. Show us the money. You make tons of it. We know it. You know it. Try paying us more of it, and cheating us out of less of it.2. Simplify your transcription platforms. Every time you "improve" them, for some STRANGE reason, it gets harder and harder to do a day's work on them. Some software salesman has sure taken advantage of whoever in your company buys transcription software. Please. Develop some sales resistance.3. Let MTs working on a primary account STAY on that a ...
Caring MTSO
Apr 15, 2010
At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, I'm curious to know if there are any MTSOs out there who you guys feel really and truly care about their MTs and not just the bottom line? I understand that business is business but it seems to me that if you have happy MTs then you have productive MTs, willing to accommodate and go above and beyond for the company, which in turn makes the retention rate of quality MTs high because they are happy. They get to know the ...
MT Week And MTSO's
May 19, 2010
The little "trinkets" some of you have received is extremely comical and a so-called slap in the face to some, but some may view it as an actual good gesture, although I do not agree. When I worked at neurology they used to always acknowledge MT week with flowers or a $25 gift card to our local mall, but when they got a new office manager he combined Secretary's Week and MT Week into one. My coworker and I got acknowledged one year on Secretary's Week - now that is a slap in the face ...

Went To My MD Today And They Have No MTSO Or MTs?
Dec 18, 2010
It seems whenever I go to the doctor we get to talking about my profession, mainly because I am speak to them on their level (with medical terms, etc) because they are amazed that I am so informed. Anyhow, today when the RN was checking me in on their Epic system, she said they use strictly voice recognition (VR) and use "Dragon" (which I know nothing about) but I have seen posts on this board about it. I told her that I was an MT editor actually for the VR, not so much transcribing anymo ...

MTSO's - Is This The Best I Can Expect?
Apr 05, 2011
After 20 years of hospital-based HIM transcription, they gave us away to Medquist. I feel set up for failure by not getting consistent hospital accounts and never having a chance to learn a specific account. Communication with management is - absent - unless they want something from you. I also find the pay and line count methodology to be deplorable, to say the least. I have VR experience, but find that Medquist just turns on literally EVERYTHING to VR, and most of it re ...
MT Versus MTSO
May 09, 2011
I have not been on this board in a few years but I can see a definite turn against medical transcriptionists. The MTSO's have created a vulture type of attitude that has been passed down among many new transcriptionists in the business. I see the MTs being blamed for whining, complaining and for trying to voice their concerns about being treated badly by ROMs or team leaders or management in general. One statement is truly correct - MTSOs are in it for the money. That being said, let& ...
