Solution: Find another job, part time or full time.
Post your resume, hope for the best.
Any companies out there where you do not have to fill in a time sheet or on a time clock?
I would like to do my lines and be done, and still get my benefits. Any companies out there that go by line production rather than hours to qualify for bennies?
Were you able to find companies that sm
support satellite? I am so stuck with it and no one wants you if that is all you have.
I am not with KS but find the same thing at many companies. sm
I think it is just a part of transcription that not all platforms are transcription-friendly.
Can't find. Must be talking about different companies.

I think you will find that not many companies pay training. sm
I have only been on one or two that do in the last 8 years. Most pay production from the beginning. I could be wrong, but I think this is the norm. Good luck.
time to find a new job, you are being scarewed
What company is docking your pay for some unknown reason? I don't think this abides by the Bureau of Labor and Industries Wage and Hour Division
Time to find, my solution
will be to have two companies on board. My current work (a small mom and pop that has managed not to be eaten by a big company) frequently runs out of work, so I decided that since I am the breadwinner in my family, I will take on another job as well. Of course, my original company won't like this because I will not be available for extra when it is needed but I will do what my contract says I am to do and no more. I am tired of sitting here looking at a blank screen.
Arrgh!!!! Boy, it is time to FIND a new

Do you find you have to flex time too much?
I do sometimes. I picked a set schedule with my company for a reason, and I have a life outside of medical transcription. I don't think companies get that sometimes.
Is there an easier way to find out if companies offshore?
I have worked for 3 companies that all offshored and were absolutely not forthcoming about it upfront. I never want to work for one again. Is there a list somewhere or am I banging my head on the wall. Again.
Looking for CIT/Charts in Time website, can't find it.
.
In this day and time it is really hard to find a job that pays
anything decent and not work weekends. Maybe a smaller company, but the larger ones are almost all on Tues-Sat or Sun-Thurs.
Time to secretly find a new job and then quit on em!

By the TT MTs. They are so busy with work, they find time to come here
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
i worked for MQ a long time, and find
MDIs platform not quite as sophisticated, but plenty adequate, plenty fast, and all in all, a very good place to be. I have the I/N accounts. p.s., I don't find the spell check lacking either.
Does anyone find it interesting how companies want ICs and then give you the schedule you are to
work. I thought by law you are not allowed to set a schedule for an IC. Seems to me they are getting the best of both worlds for a whole lot less because of benefits they are getting out of paying and all the things the government requires.
This is discussed here all the time. If you search, you should find the comments. nm

Give TT some time to see if they can find cheaper plans
I also am greatly upset by the insurance hike, but I have decided to give them some time to see if they can come up with something more affordable. Like many of you, I have to insure my whole family, so this increase is astronomical.
The grass is not always greener. Changing jobs means switching out problems, and yes, some problems are easier to deal with than others. My last job (Amphion), I was so stressed out, I lost a lot of quality of life. I have young children. I can't afford to be a stressed out freak just like I can't afford the expensive health insurance. When I moved to TT, I regained my quality of life. I'm not so tired anymore, and I'm able to be a better mom. That means the world to me. I'll hang in patiently to see if another option can be found for the health insurance.
Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
Sweat shop mentality! Time for you to leave and find a job where you'll

Three companies? Do you ever get any time
xx
happens all the time with all companies.
Yes, it is a way to get rid of the riff-raff. Yes, it is a way to get rid of the people who have been there forever and earn more than everyone else. It seems to be a regular business practice with most companies.
I think it must be getting to be PARTY TIME at these companies right now..nm
I think that may be one reason for the slow response from companies right now.
Regarding companies that do not pay on time or get the pay wrong
I think the time has come for these companies to be named. I know there are more than one but seems to me that we owe it to each other to name the companies who do not pay on time or who get the pay wrong each and every pay day. We work for a living and we do it to get paid. Even if we just put the first initial of the company, that is fair warning for others who are looking to make a change to be aware that certain companies are dangerous as far as their paying practices.
Recently I was talking to an MT who worked for one of these companies and said to me that she hated to quit because the pay was so good. That is just wrong. What pay is so good if you have to pay bank fees and overdraft charges because the money is not there. Something is wrong with that statement and wrong with that picture.
If there are any owners who are reading this that make the practice of paying late or wrong then read away. If you are doing this you don't know how to manage the company anyhow and it is my guess your days are numbered as a business but if you think we are going to sit down and take this treatment any longer without reporting to the proper authorities then you are sadly mistaken. You can throw posts in the faces of the posters all you want but when someone does not get paid for their work ON TIME, they have every right to demand that they be paid.
Any companies looking for part time QA
I'm interested in working a part time IC position (day shift) that pays a decent hourly rate. If you know of someone looking for people, please let me know.
Other companies with time clock? Thanks. nm
All companies "suck" at one time or another.
People that are running these companies are human and they have a tremendous responsibility. They have to satisfy their boss, the account and the MT. How long have you been with FN? How many times has this happened since you've been with them? We're all a little frustrated right now that work is low. We have no idea what the problem is but we have to trust that FN is still looking out for its MTs as it always has. Maybe the company has over-hired, but if it has, then we MTs have to accept part of the blame for that as well. Where were you when the accounts were so backlogged? A company does what it has to do to stay in business and they don't change overnight. A company that cares for its employees as FN does will continue to do so. We just need to ease up and give them a break until we all get through this slump.
It is really a waste of time. They same companies
they represent post ads. Going through TM you just have to take one more test and do one more interview. You don't get a better deal going through them and if they only represent a couple of companies, neither of them particularly that good that isn't much help. You can get more info from the company ads.
Anyone work for 2 companies at same time?
I have heard of people doing this, where they are heavy part-time with 2 different companies. First of all, is it even legal? Secondly, how does it work... do you just keep up 1 monitor and bounce back and forth between towers? Finally, does it really help with the lack of work issues or do you tend to be out of work at both places simultaneously. Thanks for the info. Please feel free to email me if needed.
Companies that can't get you started on time
The famous one you're referring to, is the first initial a K?
Are there any good companies that pay on time?
looking
These companies cost US all the time, right?
I work for 3 companies part time and....
don't have any work either. I made $50 in two weeks for one company, $40 for the other and $300 for the third. What a joke!! I do have to make a living to pay our house payment. I have been at this for almost 20 years....so SAD!!
Companies with 24-hour turnaround time
I know it has been has been posted here before, but I can't seem to find it. Is there a list of companies that have a 24-hour turnaround time for getting work back?
Also, a list of companies that use ExText or train on speech recognition? Thanks.
Are there any companies that offer part-time
employee status? I am looking to work certain days of the week, but I'd like part-time employee status? Is there anyone that is currently in that type of situation that could steer me in the right direction? I have a lot experience and am very reliable. Thanks in advance for any help in this regard. I appreciate my fellow MTs and their opinions count in my book.
Have to agree. Tax time hits companies, too.

Any companies hiring part-time?
I need flexibility. Willing to do a certain number of lines every pay period. I started with MedScribe of NJ and already they run out of work and seem to be dodging my emails about a secondary account. Afraid I made a bad choice.....
What is concerned full-time at which companies?sm
I really want part-time but they seem to be few and far between lately for IC.. Are there any companies out there that consider full-time 30 hours? I could take a 30 hour position but not 40 hours..
I tried several other companies, good ones, but it was like regressing in time! Not worth it!
You won't be shuffling thru papers, trying to find doctors names, etc. Its a fast platform. I never realized how much I loved it til I tried "greener pastures", which sure were not greener! Felt like the horse with my head stuck thru the fence, but luckily I got back in my own pasture! There's no place like home, there's no place like home...Good luck to you!!
Companies allowing window of time for shift
I'm interested in companies who allow you to complete your shift within a window of time instead of requiring straight 8 hours, employee status. Any info would be appreciated.
are all companies running low or completely out during this time of year. sm
I have been working for this medium sized MTSO based in Tennessee (not TransHealth) and for the last 2-3 months there has been very low low work-- and guess what, we're expected to get at least 1000 lines to be eligible for Health Insurance paid by employer.... that is 1/2 of it. Here it is 6 a.m. and there is no work on my 2 accounts. Is anyone hiring now that has abundant work and pay at least 9 cpl with benefits. I need another job. 
Are there any companies besides Amphion that hire part-time
I need a company that allows you to make your lines without demanding that you be on from this second to that second. If it's part-time it's obviously because you have other things to do and your life doesn't revolve around a set schedule. If I can get my work done at 3AM so why would that bother anybody?
Is there a company that doesn't mind when you work as long as you meet your quota and are accurate?
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!
Anyone know of any companies that let you work within a 24 hour time window? sm
I am wondering if there are any companies that let you work anytime you want as long as you get your daily or weekly line count in? Thanks....
I have many, many years experienced and was just told a little while back, even though I am an IC, that I have to have a set schedule...And I am struggling to follow the set schedule due to family illness....
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Companies close old and gain new contracts all the time. (SM)
Stop rumoring.
If you have information, share with the Administrator or myself. Otherwise, leave rumoring off the board.

Yeah, and do any companies offer PTO for part time?
TIA
How many companies do not require you to fill out a time clock? NM
Thanks.
Which companies consider full-time 35 hours per week? THX......nm

I wonder how other companies' plans compare at this point in time? sm
Not sure how long you've been with Wbx but this plan seems comparable to what we had previously; however, I know we are all paying more out of pocket - probably for every single plan at every company -in the last 1-2 years.
Dental - I still think it is a good plan but then I haven't needed a root canal.
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.
