Any companies hiring for 300 lines a day and very flexible with hours? SM

In Reply to:
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!!!!

Companies that require ONLY lines - not certain hours, preferably internet sm
based and part time. TIA
Flexible hours
you can pretty much set up your own hours (after training) with Spheris. I work a split shift through the week which accommodates my home life and I enjoy the time I have with my husband and children. I still get in my 40 hours per week, OT from time to time, but if you exceed your line count per day, OT not really necessary. Sometimes OT is mandatory, but this is very rare. I have a super who is A1 and have never had a problem when asking for a bit of time off (of course, I make sure to schedule additional time if I am able to).
Flexible Hours?
Can anyone give me an idea of what companies offer the most flexible hours? I can work fulltime, but my hours must vary slightly week to week. I will always get my time in, but I am not able to commit to 9-5 or any "set" schedule. I have 3 children and their schedules tend to change often. Thanks. I have 3 years of experience.
Are they very flexible about hours?

flexible hours
Are there any companies that let you work flexible hours, i.e. 24 TAT but not a strict schedule? I already have a full time job but looking to supplement nights and weekends. Thanks.
If you truly want IC/flexible hours...
those companies are few and far between. Most companies want you to pick a schedule and stick to it, even as an IC. If you want to e-mail me, I can give you a couple companies that are truly IC, you can e-mail me.
ProType in PA and flexible hours
I have worked for ProType for 1 year. They have flexible hours for the MT that is looking for it to work around her 3 children's schedule, and with regards to the MT looking for their address or phone number. They are ProType, Inc. 8794 West Chester Pike, Upper Darby, PA 19082 or you can contact Maureen with your contact information and any questions at office@protype.us or fax her at 1-610-853-9600, and she will get in touch with you as soon as she is available. See my other posting under ProType for specifics about company and my feelings about working for them. I think they are great! You do not have to live in PA to work for them.
Jobs with flexible hours?
I have a 2 year old and want to find a job that I can work around her schedule, not have her play around my work schedule. Currently I work for a hospital full-time, at home, from 5:30 am until 2 pm. I'm trying to find a job that will pay decent (make almost $800 biweekly) but let me set my own hours or let me split my shift.
Can anyone help lead me to a flexible company? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Heather
P.S. I have 5 years experience and am willing to purchase whatever equipment is required, I just need the flexibility.
PT - less than 24 hours and flexible? Such a thing? nm
I believe they are flexible, but probably some evening hours and

Compaines with flexible hours? sm
Are there any companies out there that have fairly flexible hours (part time)? I'm looking to supplement my income, but I don't want to be tied down to strict hours. Thanks!
Does TT Offer Flexible Hours For ICs
I've been reading all the wonderful posts about TransTech. I saw on their web site where they require 5 years experience. I have only 4, and I'm looking for part time or p.r.n. hours. Does anyone know if they hire with flexible working hours? Thanks so much, and congrats to all who have been hired. It's refreshing to read posts like this.
Keystrokes Question! Flexible Hours?
I am making a long-overdue career move, and KS is one of my top 3 choices. Just wondering, though - flexible hours? Or strict shift? I am really wanting my freedom back, and this is my #1 consideration right now. Thought I'd ask really quickly on here rather than waste my time and the company's time by applying first, etc. Thanks for any info!
Really? Are they hiring? I need a flexible schedule...

Anyone know of a company that is hiring per diem or very flexible IC
I am looking for very flexible work. I've got 13 years experience in acute care and I need work that is very flexible, about 20 hours a week. Does anyone know of an individual or company that has any work like this? Thanks!
Be flexible and you will get your lines and then some. nm
I do.
Acute and/or clinic work? Set schedule or flexible hours? Thank you! nm
JLGers - how flexible are they with hours, i.e. kids ball games, etc. (nm)

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.
New TTer, struggling to make lines. Are they flexible on this

Flexible companies
I know of three that will allow you a window for your work: Meridian, MDI-MD, and Futurenet. I have not worked for Meridian or Futurenet, but I can say that I think MDI-MD is a super place to work.
Most flexible companies?
Just wondering what companies have the most flexible schedules? I am working full-time now but also looking for a second, part-time job. So far no luck looking through the old posts. Any info would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks in advance :)
Looking for flexible companies?
Hi :) Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend. I have finally found the energy to apply for a second part-time job to help me get back on my feet after leaving MQ :)
I have applied to a bunch already, but I was just wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions on flexible companies. For my second job, I'm looking for a company where I could give a general time I would like to work or one that sends me the work and needs it back within a 12-24 hour time period? That would work out best for me. Thanks in advance for any help! :)
Can you give me the name of companies who are flexible in regards to
once you are done with your required lines or your own personal goal, but is less than 8 hours, allow you to stop at that point. Hope that makes sense. Say I can do 1500 lines in 6 hours, are there any companies who will allow me to quit once I get my 1500 lines? If so, would you share the names please?
Companies with flexible scheduling?
I'm looking for a company that I can commit to lines per pay period and not a set schedule?
companies that I have found that are fair and flexible
QT and FutureNet
What companies offer FLEXIBLE schedules for
full time employees? I am willing to work the hours required for full time status, but I am in college too and I have to have the flexibility - my schedule changes every semester. Can anybody point me to ANY good companies who let you work whenever you want as long as you get your hours in? And I am not interested in IC - only working as an employee. Thanks!
Companies with flexible 12-hour window schedule
What companies offer a flexible schedule where your work can be completed within a 12-hour window?
MQ hours/lines
It's true...20 hours for part time and 4,000 lines in a two week period and for NON STATUTORY - must work full 40 hour weeks AND maintain 12,000 lines or be changed to SE and no benefits.
hours or lines?
I don't get it-it seems like MQ (been here 6 years) wants to pay by the lines AND wants the hours. I used to have overtime on the weekend and even if I typed 6,000lines during the week they wouldn't give me extra for weekend unless the hours were also there. Who cares about hours? Make up your mind!!!!
hours/v/lines
Yes, you are absolutely correct. That is why they are going to the new platform DQS so that they can play big brother and watch everyone and monitor everything. They have control of everything, time, work, etc.,etc.,etc.
For HIM it is lines, for rad it is hours. nm

they go by lines - not hours. nm

Hours/Lines
Actually, an MTSO is within their right to have an expectation of achievement be it xx hours or xx lines and still be within the law with regard to employment status.
They can say in order to be hired as an IC for this position, we need 1200 lines. If you hired a painter to paint your house and he came in did 3 strokes, walked out and didn't show up again for a week, he's still a contractor, but he's not meeting the likely expectation.
Which is why ALL ICs should have contracts with their clients.
not hours but lines.....
you make a commitment of lines...you are an IC...they are great if you can't get your committed lines...just need to let them know and why...some of their accounts are really tough, so check it out before you make a commitment..
After 10 hours and still not enough lines..sm
to meet my quota I am quitting. Just too tired to sit here any longer. One of the most frustrating days of many!
Anybody hiring for part-time ER within a window instead of set hours? TIA. NM

Spheris does that as well...hours/lines...
The hours are kept up with so that OT can be paid. Federal regulations influence that because all MTs are employees.
I don't know why, but I am not having any problem getting my lines and hours.
I do multiple accounts with heavy EsL. Honestly, it's just best to plough right through them instead of taking multiple breaks because they don't go away. I do know how hard it is though.
I agree you need to utilize Shorthand extensively. Every time you get an OP, copy it to Shorthand under the doc's name (smithjohn/lapchole). The next time you get that doc, you'll have the report to reference and you'll be amazed at how many blanks you're able to fill in then. Do the same for ROS and PE. Docs are notorious for doing those by rote.
The best possible advice I can give you is to utilize the echart and Alt+G features. If you do this, you'll absolutely breeze right through the ESL dictations and you'll see your line count go up.
making those hours/lines
I agree. It's a good company but a struggle to get in hours and make lines. It's has been like that for a while.
My company goes by lines instead of hours.
5000 lines every two weeks.
The OP asked what is FT, lines or hours. For RAD, you are on a sm
schedule, thus it is hours. 40 hours is full-time. For HIM, you have to hit a certain number of lines. Once you hit it, you are done for the day even if it took you only 5 hours. With radiology, you have to work the entire shift you are scheduled for. The PAY is by the report, the SCHEDULE is by the hour.
lines vs hours worked
Would like to work for company with line requirement
versus hours worked.
1100 lines in 40 hours, must be the -- sm
dictator(s) of our dreams! And this is just for actual transcription, but what part of the 40 hours does the other work fall into, the demographics, emails, look-ups, re-dos, re-listen, twiddling thumbs while doc is asleep or browsing the charts, etc.
1000 lines in eight hours??
If a person types that slow then obviously being an MT may not be for them! I type around 300 LPH and that averages up to a lot more than 7 bucks an hour.
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours!

How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
legality of hours versus lines
Has anyone ever questioned with a labor organization of any kind the legality of being paid by piece work (lines) but having to adhere to full time hours? Something doesn't seem quite right to me about this. If the hours are enforced then we should be paid by them, right? Even a daily mandatory quota of say 1000 lines for full time makes sense versus 8 hour time sheets. How can this be legal? If not shouldn't we all be independent contractors? I will seriously have to consider leaving full time work if MQ enforces 40 hours per pay period but they are not the only ones with this practice. It seems if one gets away with it they all do. Any thoughts on this?
1800 lines so far and have 3 more hours to go in my shift.
.
If you can't make 1000 lines in 8 hours,
in the wrong profession.
I think its 6000 lines per pay period and 20 hours.....but
