Payment Policies

Your Compensation

Your compensation is determined by the total minutes in your submitted jobs.

Your compensation can be directly impacted by the quality of your finished product. We value the dedication and knowledge required to transcribe these jobs. However, we also must ensure our clients are receiving a completed product that meets SpeakWrite's quality standards.

Payment Policies- Quality

If upon management audit or a client returns a job due to excessive errors or failure to follow job instructions, or if there is any other quality issue that results in the job having to be retyped or corrected, management has the right to withhold payment.

Payment Rates

Spanish Typists inquiring about Spanish pay rates may email Spanish.Support@SpeakWrite.com. We will verify that you are a Spanish Typist and send that information to you directly.

System Downtime

In the event of system downtime, there is no compensation.

Please note that after you complete and upload a job, it can take up to 24 hours for the payment information to post onto your Typist Page. Wait at least that long before submitting a payroll Help Ticket regarding your compensation for a specific job. See Help Tickets for submitting a Non- Job-Related Help Ticket.

Payment Options

There are two payment periods per month. SpeakWrite offers two payment options: check and direct deposit.

Direct Deposit Notice

If you want to receive your payment via direct deposit, you will need to do the following:

Log in to the TypeEasy program, click the Personal Page tab and click on the 'Launch' option next to Payment Information under the Employee Information heading.
Click the 'Direct Deposit' link.
Add your banking information as indicated.

If there is an error with your account numbers or ABA numbers, a check will be issued and mailed via U.S. Mail as soon as the issue is identified. Checks will not be sent via overnight mail.

Direct deposit payments are submitted on the first business day after the last day of each payment period. Depending on each bank's policies and procedures, it may take up to two additional days before your funds are available.

If you want your upcoming payment to be direct deposit, you should sign up for direct deposit at least 4 days before the end of the payment period to ensure that your request is processed in time. Otherwise, it will take effect on the next payment period.

Direct Deposit Notice

Direct Deposit is currently not available for Canadian typists.

If you want to receive your funds via check, leave the direct deposit information on your personal page blank. Checks are mailed via U.S. Mail on the first business day after the last day of each payment period. It can take up to 7 days to receive your check.
