Any bigger companies out there that do 10+ hours flex time?
Posted By: Crossing fingers on 2008-08-05
In Reply to:
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.

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?
Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm

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!
Which companies consider full-time 35 hours per week? THX......nm

We are told to flex our schedules to get lines/hours in. (sm)
No one is trying to steal work from other shifts, we are just trying to do our jobs. Obviously it is not our preference to work outside our hours but we all do what we have to do to make this work for right now.
Hopefully new accounts are in place now and things will level out.
Have a better day.
or the small ones do not draw attention. It seems to be the bigger companies. sm
They are the ones mentioned the most, at least the ones that are growing.
flex time
Sometimes when it is slow in the morning, I e-mail the office and flex my hours to work a few hours in the evening depending on what my plans are. I have found the work ALWAYS picks up later in the afternoon. I know this doesn't work for everybody, but I always manage to get more than my minimum by being flexible when I can be.
Flex time
Am looking to slow down, does flex time even exist anymore or per diem ? Would appreciate any input, looking to do approximately 10 - ? hrs a week to keep up skills.
Flex time
Flex time as we once knew it no longer exists at the co I work for. The only time flex time comes into play is when you've had OT earlier in the week and on Friday you are asked to flex off your OT hours...sign out early so they don't have to pay you OT. We can sometimes flex our time to get in our 8 hours for power outages, electrical storms, etc. Otherwise, strictly assigned hours.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Is it a given you can flex and make up time or (sm)
do you have to have specific permission from your supervisor? I know when I worked for MQ it was always designated when you could and couldn't make up time.
Flex time? Can you tell me how that works? nm
,
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.
Okay. Flex your time. Change your schedule if necessary. sm
If you have been in this business any length of time, you should know how work volumes fluctuate, especially around the holidays.
By flex your time, do you mean the window they give you (sm)
or something else? I can't even get the hours in during the window for running out of work. Do you just mean make up time during the week? thanks.
Does Medquist's part time flex
allow you to work any hours you want or are you tied to a schedule? I am thinking of applying for extra money. I am a little leery of the pool, but thought I might try it if need be. I know many people don't like MQ based on what I read on this board, but think there must still be something decent about them since so many people still do work there. Thanks you in advance for any information.
if you don't need the benefits, i recommend part-time flex...
Part time flex requires 2,000 lines per week minimum, but you can do more if you like. You need to submit a schedule, but some production supervisors are flexible...mine is very flexible.
They do not provide equipment. Platform is DocQScribe and is great.
I have been with MQ for about 7 years, and they have been very good to me. I have great accounts but low work volume on them. Always seem to be overstaffed on my accounts, but that is why I have a backup with another company.
Good luck.
Questions about Medquist Flex Part-time
if you are flexible part-time and also do they allow any time off with pay or do you just take that time off without pay? Thank you! 
Flex time requires a schedule. Crazy huh?
There is nothing to like about MQ at this point in time. So many people work there because the company needs people but the turnover of people is pretty significant. Be very leery of the pool. It is murky and will not allow you to make money because in that pool are thousands of client profiles you must read to see how to format the report before you can even begin to transcribe and make money. After you read this client profile, you may not see the client again for weeks which was a waste of your time. The speech recognition program is the worst requiring many corrections at a reduced rate of transcribed reports. No one can make real money with the disadvantages MQ gives you to worQ with.
Is Spheris just hiring for flex time positons?

Any companies that allow line count rather than hours or less than 20 hours per week? (sm)
Wouldn't mind having something extra especially with Christmas and general winter expenses coming up but working a FT job and really don't want to do another 20 hours on top of that.
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.

Most companies need certain hours
and a certain amount of lines. This is a job and just like any other job, you can't work just when you feel like it. This attitude can cause a company to lose accounts due to lack of coverage. A company with steady work flow is a good company to work for, and if the MT is not reliable the company suffers through losing accounts and then there not a steady work flow and the MTs lose out in the end with no work. I am sorry to sound like I am lecturing, but your attitude is not professional and I would definitely not hire you as you do not sound reliable, nor somebody that I could count on to get the work out and back to the client.
What companies have 10 or less hours per week...
Most companies want 20 hours for part time, but with working outside the home, it's hard to swing it. Anyone know of any? Thanks so much.
Companies who do not require set hours?
I am in need of an IC position that does not require set hours. I am presently working for a company that I told I would be on line anywhere between 3 p.m. and 11 p.m., but that was unacceptable, they wanted set hours. So I gave 8 p.m to 12 p.m. but I am not able to comply with that every day. There are some days I would like to start earlier, and some days start later. I would think if I gave them a set line limit that I would be accountable for that that would be acceptable, evidently not though. Any companies out there hiring that has a 24-hour timeframe? 
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!
Any companies out there that allow you to work 5-10 hours a week?
I have a full time job, but need to make a bit more income. Are there any good companies that might work for me? Thanks for any input.
Any companies let you accrue PTO with less than 40 hours per week? (sm)
WMX used to give FT benefits at 35 hours per week. I can do without the insurance, etc. but really hate to give up PTO.
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?
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.
Actually, we have all resumes caught up to within 24 hours at this time. nm

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.

Any companies hiring for 300 lines a day and very flexible with hours? SM
I am looking to work for a company who is looking for some overflow help, 300 lines a day. I am willing to give and take a little in regards to the work schedule. If some days there is not enough to get 300 lines that is fine and if some days there is an abundance of work and you may require more from me, that is fine also.
I would love to find a company who uses a transcription-friendly software like DocQScribe (not sure of spelling) or Inscribe. I am also looking for a flexible schedule, where I can just hop on throughout the day and transcribe.
Does anybody know of such a company? I would be more than grateful to hear of any.
Thanks so much!!!!
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!
Transolutions I believe considers 32 hours full-time...nm

Anybody hiring for part-time ER within a window instead of set hours? TIA. NM

Transcend, is full time 40 hours or X lines?

Companies that require ONLY lines - not certain hours, preferably internet sm
based and part time. TIA
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
