Keystrokes Transcription really is a bad company - mad employee

Posted: Aug 30, 2011

They just informed their employees that effective immediately they were changing the pay dates from the 3rd to the 17th. This when our payday is the first so now it is going to be late. Way to go Keystrokes!

I am sooooo furious! - shame on KS

I just don't get it. We give them our counts on the 15 and 30th, which gives them 15 days to get out payroll together. I just don't get it. This is bull and I am just fuming mad! I have never worked for a company that had payroll problems before.
Maybe it's just time for KS to throw in the towel and sell-out or fold. Quit treating your employees like this!

That sounds really ominous. I hope when you - finally get your checks, they arent rubber!

I moved my automatic payments back last time, but now they are encroaching on the buffer zone. Will we have to move them back further and further as time goes on?

Hope they are not in trouble. - good luck KS-ers

I think they are just disorganized which is just as bad. sm - KSMT

I agree with the person who posted earlier that every time they grow, it is chaotic for a while and then it settles down. I did read somewhere that they are over $30 million in customers now, so I doubt that they are in trouble. I'm more worried that they are selling but who would it be to? I don't want to work for MQ ever again, BTDT. Unfortunately, the signs are starting to appear that they are gearing up for that in the near future.

That's why they are buying up their own companies, right? - GEESH, start more nonsense

This is why I work at home. I'm just going to stop coming on these stupid boards. Women just can't keep their mouths or fingers SHUT.

KS is acquiring companies just like MQ and Transcend. They just bought Hudson and now actually own the Chartnet platform. Why would they want to sell out?

Why would you start such craziness? Find something to do with your life!

Do you only get paid once a month? nm - mt

That is a big maybe.

I just got a reply from the owner after I emailed her. It is next payroll. - Definite not maybe.

I have not received an email stating a definite on this. - sm

I do hope it is next pay period, but until I hear it from proper authority, it's a maybe for me.

Did you email her like the email said to do? I did. nm - Relieved

She emailed me back pretty quick.

Did you enjoy your crow? - U were wrong.

It was THIS payday after all. I think it is YOU that should get your facts straight before you speak.

Why don't you get facts straight before posting garbage? - SICK OF POT STIRRING

Keystrokes has been a good company to me.

Payroll is NOT going to be late. The change isn't taking effect until the 17th of September.

Before coming on to a PUBLIC FORUM BOARD, why don't you contact the people the e-mail says to contact?

Also, why don't you post WHY they are changing the pay dates? It's because MTs aren't RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH to put line counts in on time or correctly. I work 3rd shift and I can put mine in AT THE LAST MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't like KS, go find another company that pays better and treats you better. There are so many good transcriptionists that would love to have a job with a company like Keystrokes.

why are your drawers in a bunch - ship-jumper

People want a place to vent and share, where they can do it without ownership breathing down their neck. However, it appears that ownership has been all over these KS threads on this board and the company board as well.

If you are sick of reading about peoples issues, then stop reading the board. Don't get some spun up because unless you are an owner or manager, peoples' feelings shoulden't affect you in the least.

We are paid 2 weeks late - 1-15 is paid on 31st. - 16-31 paid on 15 - 2 weeks held

[ In Reply To ..]
In this economy, it is up to us to be sure we are able to stay afloat - and to cover ourselves in the event of loss of income.

This makes no sense as a reason - even line counts submitted are wrong - that should not be a factor - because the lines/reports paid on the 31st of August will be those submitted on the 15th of August.

It's fairly easy to come on here and tell everyone that they should not worry but in my 30 years of working, I have never had this happen.

These monthly scares are the Keystrokes version.

Then fine somewhere else that's better. - Late 1 day - miscommunication

[ In Reply To ..]
So sick of people saying how bad KS is as a company. If you don't like it, there are plenty other good MTs who need a job. I have found it to be a great company. I am making great money, with plenty of work. My management has been great to work with.

Instead of coming on here and bad mouthing them, use you time and find another job with a company you will be happy with.

They are changing pay dates from the 15th and 30th to the 3rd and 17th of the month. It wasn't supposed to change this pay period, but it was a miscommunication in the front office and it did. We get paid tomorrow instead of today.

Some kind of typos I see when I proof. I did "fine" somewhere else to work, thank you very much. As for miscommunication, whatever. I have been paid late 3 times in less than a year.

I use to work for Keystrokes before and was very unsatisfied. Good Luck if you do work for them!
