Caught that. Thx! Something about competition clauses at the time kept them from hiring in NY state.

Why would they give you a choice of 16 or 24 hours. Usually part time is anything under 37 hours.
That is extremely odd. Well they must have something up their sleeves. Well I will be working elsewhere part time as well as with MQ as I have no intention of sitting 40 hours with no work from Amherst and be expected to have 150 lph with no work. What is all this window of work time they said they would be giving everyone. I figured all along they would do away with SE. I have already been looking around and ordered a new computer to send theirs back.
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm

Full time/part time based on # hours or
# lines per pay period, nothing to do with quality. The lower the quality the higher the pay it seems.
Full time is 40 hours, and yes they have part-time.

do you know what part-time hours are
 I mean what is the minimum - I need a part time to go along with my full time and may even switch completely after I get up to speed. I am good, been doing this quite a while. Would work evenings and probably one weekend day. TIA
Hang in there. Two hours is not enough time
to make a decision yet. You must train yourself just as you did when you first started out in transcription. Read the Editor manual. Use all the functions that are listed. It will get better, and yes you will make money. It does NOT take twice as long to do a report once you get the hang of it. It definitely takes less time to make a few corrections on a report than to type the whole thing. You cannot determine in two hours that you don't like doing it. Work on it for a month or two and get your speed up. Practice makes perfect and the speed will come, just like with anything else. Best luck to you, and don't give up!
HOW DO YOU GET OVER TIME IF YOU DON'T WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK?
That is a great gig you have going. Do you have to work weekends?
Anyone know what full time is for KS? Lines or hours? nm

Not sure about the 40 hours for full-time, but 11,000 lines per pay sm
period are required. I think right now they are hiring for Sunday through Thursday or Tuesday through Saturday. You decide which shift/hours you want to work, and I tihnk they will allow you to do a split shift if you prefer. There is some flexibility in that you can let them know any changes you need to make, but generally you are expected to work the hours you commit to working.
The platform is ExText, which is Word-based and very easy to use. The insurance is very affordable, I think. You have a choice between Aetna or Coventry, and then 3 choices as far as coverage -- ultimate, choice, and standard. I have choice coverage with Coventry (single plan), and I think it is around $70 per pay period for medical, dental, and vision, with a $750 deductible, $15 copay for office visits.
Hope this helps! 
For full time MedScribe, FL, do you just do 40 hours, sm
or is there also a line requirement? Do you punch a time clock? Do you have to work weekends? I don't see any mention of part time or IC status. Are they available? TIA.
Can you get "full-time" lines in 24 to 32 hours?
My company didn't ask me how many hours I planned to work, they asked me how many lines I planned to do. I can do full-time lines in part-time hours and that's all they care about.
The good companies are out there. Don't give up.
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours! More time for 2nd Job.

Are most part-time jobs with companies a few hours every day or are there
jobs that exist where you can work a few days during the week? If you can help, thank you!
FutureNet part time - how many hours required? (sm)
I understand they have a high percentage of ESL, willing to do that for flexibility and less than 20 hours per week PT. I would love just 8-10. Anyone know if it is worthwhile contacting Futurenet or know any others that hire limited hours PT?
time to work offshore hours and grab
all you can away from the 'partners,' eh?
The time card is a legal record for 40/80 hours
You record your shift hours whether you work 7 hours or 9 hours. You aren't going to get paid OT if you work 9 hours but spend only 6-7 hours or so actually working if you were out of work. If you work extra and OT is not approved you would not put it on your timecard. So just put your regular shift hours no matter when you work unless you can't work at all that day. Alot of the time I have worked 9-10 hours but just put 8-4. I missed a day when my husband had surgery so I obviously did not record my shift that day but I worked on my day off and entered the hours on my day off - but usually the thing to do is enter your shift 8-4 or whatever it is and don't worry about all the in's and out's. That's not necessary for the timecard.
Does Axolotl require 40 hours for full time
Also, what is the average most MTs type in a pay period? I know 12,000 is the minimum, but is it possible to type quite a bit more than that with their platform? THANKS!
Which companies consider full-time 35 hours per week? THX......nm

Transolutions I believe considers 32 hours full-time...nm

Any bigger companies out there that do 10+ hours flex time?
I'm looking for a job to supplement my income on top of my full-time MT job, but really need one that allows me to log on at any time throughout the week and do, say, 2,000 lines a week or 10 hours a week or something like that.
Are there any companies out there that still offer this or is it too much to hope for? Anyone have a company they would like to recommend? Thanks.
Transcend, is full time 40 hours or X lines?
x
Can you tell me how many hours a part time person is allowed to work. Does it specify that at all.
I didnt quite understand that 8, 16 and 24 hour thing. I thought part time as long as you cut off before the full time hours you can work them.
I work at AMphion part-time and make as much there in 20 hours as I do at my FT job in 40
.
Any info on what is full time for DRC? Hours or lines? Any flexibility? TIA. nm
xx
Yes it does, but 35 hours a week is all that is required to be full time and get bennies.
.
I used to work for them part-time -- I think 20 hours/week is the minimum. nm

I am able to get my lines/hours in as long as I flex a little within my time window. (sm)
Are you hiring on now or just looking?
Any companies with part-time clinic work/daytime hours? Thanks!! nm

Webmedx PTO rate of 1.08 hours per payperiod and only for Full-time Employees
Webmedx only gives PTO and insurance to full-time employees. No PTO for the first 3 months, then something like 1.08 hours per pay period, starting at 0. If they run out of work or your ISP goes down or your child gets sick and you cannot get in the full 35 hours to qualify for full-time, they want you to use your PTO to make sure your hours add up to 35 that week. If you fall below 35 hours for 3 months in a row, no matter what the reason, they automatically drop you to part-time and take away your insurance. Then, you have to work a minimum of 35 hours for the next 3 months before you will be eligible for insurance again. As far as holidays, if the holiday falls on your scheduled work day, you have to work, unless you ask for it off in advance, but they do pay you for 8 hours of holiday at your normal rate, in addition to any lines you type that day.
Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm

I personally can't sit for 4 hours at a time. I work 2 hous, sign off and take a short break.
It might just be fixing something to drink or starting a load of laundry. If you did something like that then you wouldn't have to worry about a disconnect and possibly losing a report.
T-C - full-time is 1000 lpd along with a "rough estimate" schedule of what hours you'll wor
It's pretty nice.
Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm

Something that caught my eye here is
you said an older woman. Good common sense should play into the part about the chem-7, just ordinary, every day sense, doctors, hmmmm, medicine, chemistry, sorta goes together. I would think a child should know that.
Just caught you in a lie.........sm
You said you typed 130 wpm yet you only make $17 an hour on VR. No way would you make that little with typing straight at 130 wpm. You must be thinking 130 lines per hour! 17 bucks an hour STINKS! I make $20 an hour typing and I made $25 an hour editing humans. !!!! so there smarmy pants!
DON'T GET CAUGHT IN YOUR OWN LIE. sm
 First of all, you're obviously mgmt. since you know so much about inside goings-on.
Second, and here is where the fib comes in: You expect us to believe that Leads don't type on their own lead shift (they're too busy, too much to do-LMAO) - and their lead shift is obviously a 40-hour shift, if the hours on the bottom all of their holier-than-thou e-mails are to be believed - when DO they do their transcription - during their SECOND shift or 41st hour ( I assume they finish their 40-hour lead shift and then get paid OT to do their typing). Are you another one who thinks all the rest of us peon MTs are so dumb. MTs regularly get the halfway decent work taken out of their queus and get h--l when they compain about it.
yes, I caught them first
but already sent e/m asking them to forgive them. I am so flipping tore up over all this. Thanks for the good suggestion though.
I caught that...
I wondered if perhaps the OP was attempting to alleviate her own guilt about staying for some reason.
As one of the MTs who DID leave as soon as they saw fit to quit routing their MTs work, I just kind of chuckled at her wondering which MTs actually left. I don't know about the OP, but there's no way I'm spending my valuable time sitting at a computer waiting for a few reports to trickle in. There are too many other 'fish in the sea'. We were not even employees; we were SE or IC status. They owed me nothing but a paycheck and I owed them nothing but my daily line commitment.
I'm not going to be loyal to ANY company that would, by choice, let MTs sit and starve while they ignore emails and deceive their staff. My loyalty is to myself and my family, for whom I provide. Other than that, I've never had a problem separating my 'professional' life from my 'personal' life.
I feel no guilt whatsoever. It was not my role in life to 'serve' MDI (or any other company). They contracted my services and my loyalty to them was in force during whatever hours I would transcribe for them; other than that, call me insensitive or selfish or greedy, but I don't feel guilty about anything regarding my actions.
They chose to sell, I chose to walk.
Plain and simple.
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

Thank goodness someone other than me caught that!
nm
uh uh.. I had 2 that were not; they caught me off guard.
/
I think they caught a lot of slack....sm
from the clients when the trouble was going on in India and most of their clients demanded to be brought back onshore. That is why most of the accounts are so good....very good dictators. remember, the easy stuff always goes offshore.
They got caught lying about offshoring!
Love it when one of these companies gets called on the carpet! 
Other than the offshore, lied about it and got caught you mean.
maybe they caught on to your attitude and decided against it.
nm
I think a lot of us were caught off guard with no work

I got caught in a new job awhile back
that went dry for months and it really hurt me financially. Loved the job, loved the people but was on the brink of bankruptcy. My advice would be to keep the sure thing in these economic times. Good luck to you whatever you do.
It caught me by surprise too -- I'm right there with you. Fortunately, I have a 2nd job sm
so that helps take the sting out a bit. I love the people and love the company, but I do not think maybe they realize what a big shock $30 can be sometimes. To me, the more fair thing to have done would have been to say something like effective next check, we will be taking out double premiums until we catch up or whatever. However, cannot unring a bell.
And I have always been a bit disappointed that they wait until the following Monday to pay us instead of that Friday, but for the most part it is a good company. Seems like all of the MTSOs hang on to their $$$ as long as they can -- guess the interest is better in their pockets than on our paychecks.  I was stupid and am now waiting a month to get paid for work I did for a woman in Virginia. Chalk it up to lesson learned.
Good luck to you (and me!).
Hope you caught my drift....
I think you are precisely right in your perception that communication is discouraged, as I have heard this (but have no proof of it) in the past, not just about Transcend but a few other MTSOs too, that they prefer to keep their employees 'remote' in all senses of the word, including not communicatng with one another.
I don't think you're being kept out of the loop; I think the only 'loop' might be a chosen few higher-ups that communicate.
I could be wrong, but I felt the sting of your post and wanted to let you know it's probably not personal at all, but something shared with a privileged few.
Thanks for wishing everyone luck, and good luck to you as well!!!
