Posted: Feb 06, 2010
Has anyone who has left MQ either by quitting or termination had any trouble receiving their final paycheck(s) and PTO balance?

I had no trouble getting my last paycheck. However, the PTO comes as a separate check. They owed me 70 hours of PTO and my PTO check was $40.52!!!!! Good luck.......
How do they justify that? Sounds illegal to me. nm - Anon

Here's what happened.... I had to go part time because there was no work. Then 1 year ago when the SE got those HUGE accts that begin with "H" we were told we would have tons and tons of work so I went back to full time. I kept noticing on my paycheck that my PTO was not growing. After 3 months, I finally got an answer as to why. The paperwork for me to go full time was never put through, even though I had been working 40 hours per week, every Saturday and every holiday. During the past year, I had 6 CCMs. It was always the other one's fault. It never got fixed. Then I finally called LS the RD and she said she would fix it, but she didn't. Just kept stringing me along.......... That's one of the reasons why I quit.

The only thing that stays the same at MQ is change.....change supervisors, change areas, change office or no offices, change platforms Medrite to DocQScribe, change Etime to Teamwork, which actually has to be converted to Etime, change Work Flow Coordinator to none, then change Team Lead to none...drop the pay and drop it again. I had the same problem as you with managers...whatever their title is - I was statuatory and then an employee and PT and then FT and then back to PT and then back to FT....half the time they didn't know what I was .......they told me once I had to switch back to PT and left me on FT.....so I was getting PTO at the FT rate, but they were only scheduling me PT hours...one of my supervisors told me they had never switched me...so I could just change my hours back to FT any time I wanted to......one of my supervisors quit because they couldn't stand it anymore....and she gave them notice and they told her forget it ...you're gone...so she emailed us privately to say goodbye...I should have left a long time ago, but I figured I would wait it out......well, now I'm gone.......and somewhat relieved
I work for a very pleasant, friendly, small transcription company, BUT paychecks more than a couple of times are not getting to me and they say it's the post office, and to contact my postmaster. I ask for a reissue and then do send, but its then a week or more late. Once one of their checks bounced!! They repaid for any bank fees as well as got me a new check, but I think they don't have the money to always pay me on time and then blame the post office! What do ...
I have been typing for DIT transcription since September and I have received only one paycheck. I have been a transcriptionist for 2.5 years and I have never had this experience. I am sick to my stomach and so upset. If anyone has suggestions for new employers for people with some experience, please let me know.
Thanks,

hello,
i've been working for TTD for a while. we recently terminated the contract. they owe me a final paycheck. i was just wondering if ******* can be trusted to get her former ICs their final paycheck in a timely manner. or if we are going to have to make a spectacle out of it in order to receive what we are entitled to.
thanks! ...
I just need to vent. I am an IC who is supposed to get paid every week by my employer. Her checks were on time at first, then 1 day later, 2 days later, 3 days later, etc. I went on vacation for 1 week. 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. ...
I'm part of the eTransplus buyout by MQ and I'm still learning their system. I thought I read somewhere that we can view our paychecks on Wednesdays before payday. If so, where on the website can I do this? I've sent an email to my supervisor but haven't heard back yet. TIA ...
out who to make MM provide you what you need, you need to be working for someone else. Ok, now let's hear it. All the excuses why you cant leave, why you dont take responsiblity for your own life/actions, why it is MM fault you are here with no work. ...
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 ...
I'm a newbie at Nuance, and I was just wondering if anyone's check comes early with direct deposit, or does everyone get them on the actual payday? ...
I finally cut ties with the Q after being returning to work for them and finding them not to be the company they once were or the pay was not the same. After careful consideration and finding another position, I resigned. Awaiting my pay out from my PTO and being told it would be deposited today, nada. Anyone have any idea about this? Will this be sent as a final check or did I get the royal kick in the you know where and will not see that PTO payout.
Thanks Q. ...
This will probably be my final post. As some of you might recall, I graduated with my MD in 2010, and just received notice this week that I will be starting residency in July in Family Medicine. I once again want to reiterate to all of the MTs and QAs out there slaving away for M*Modal that there is no computer in the world that can replace a human brain, that your skills are valuable, and that you are professionals and irreplaceable. My 30 years in medical transcription was in ...
This was published in the Federal Register last week, correct? I have a friend who is in a battle with an insurance company over a very sick child. They are always throwing up obstacles for coverage.
She told me that out-of-network treatment is covered at 50% of 200% of Medicare rates. So we are trying to uncover exactly what that rate is. Is the CMS Final Rule document what I am looking for to help her?
Is Coder here? Expert insight would be so appreciated ...
I have been waiting for final pay from MTSO since May when check was "sent" It has not been received by me, nor has it been returned to MTSO. Operator of MTSO says they have "fulfilled their legal obligation" and the fact that I have not received money is unfortunate. Apparently no new check will be issued or Direct Deposit made until original check is returned as not deliverable. Thoughts and advice please? Yes, I have emailed weekly and have the same response. ...
Just curious if anyone has gotten a final warning or if anyone has been fired from Mmodal?
I think I might be next...hoping if I do that I will be able to get unemployment because I am really trying to do my best but have not been able to pass audits for long.... ...
I was curious to hear if anybody failed the second part of the final? I got a 13% on the second part only because I was having serious trouble hearing the doctor clearly. I took that final last June, and I am wanting to take the final again in May. I am worried that I am going to come across the same problem even after practicing for so many months and getting helpful tips from the Career Step final. I am currently working part-time typing overflow reports and I am doing rather well with that. S ...
I just received a score on my Allied Med School Final exam of 84%, which really surprises me as I have been scoring upwards of 95 on the assignments and felt really good about these 5 transcriptions. From your experiences, what are my chances of ever being able to find a job with an 84 on my certificate? Trying to decide whether to try the second attempt or not - worried that my grade on it would be even lower... ...
I am doing a DS. I can't believe this has never come up before (or I've forgotten!) -
When typing LAVH-BSO on the diagnoses, can I use LAVH-BSO or do I need to spell it all out? I would think LAVH-BSO would be more readable, but I know the rule is to spell it out. I'm trying to be practical here, but it may come back to haunt me.
Thanks ...
I just wanted to let those of you know who were helpful in my quest for an ophth sample....I am very grateful for the help I got. All I wanted was some information on samples.
To the rest of you MTs who responded with criticism, judgment, and assumptions...stick it in your ear! One of you thought I cared what a "blessed" life you had and went on and on about it. ?? What? Didn't really fit my post, but okay...guess you gotta tell someone! Someone else, maybe the same perso ...
I resigned from MModal a week ago, June 23rd and received my final paycheck deposit yesterday. It was over $100 short! I worked the same number of hours I also do and transcribed within the ball park the same number of lines. I also had 12 hours of PTO they owed me for that I had not used. It doesn't appear that I was paid for all of that either. For some reason they sent me 5 check stubs - I usually only got 2 per pay periods. I get direct deposit. &nbs ...
This is hopefully my final post on RADTRANS. Shortly after my last post, I received an e-mail from owner of RADTRANS. Apparently someone e-mailed her regarding what I said (according to her email she has no reason to go to this website, this is what she said:
I DON'T GO ON THERE OBVIOUSLY AS I HAVE NO NEED TO.....
THAT'S A SITE FOR "MT'S WHO HAVE SOUR GRAPES" LOL A CHAT ROOM I SUPPOSE FOR MT'S WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO TH ...
Has anyone ever been told that the final pay from an MT company will not come all at once, and will be divided up into 2 final payments? I thought this company would send me one final check, but she stated that they are sending it out according to their pay schedule and the final check will not come until the second week in June!! It is not a tremendous sum; the first check I received was last week and it was around $370, and the second one I doubt will even be $200. I ha ...
