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.

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!!
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!
Any companies with part-time clinic work/daytime hours? Thanks!! nm

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?
Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
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.
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?
Ugh - well I did all my work on time and I expect to be paid on time.
The phone company doesn't wait, the cable company doesn't wait, and the electric company doesn't wait for their money either - all of which I need to pay in order to do my job. I work when I am supposed to, I help when behind, and give 110%, and I ask for my check to be on time.
I think if an MTSO is going to have to mail checks they should do so priority to make up for the delay.

Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????
TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.....
All the companies are having the same problem. Time to find another

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!
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.

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.
Are there any good companies that hire part time?
I have two years of acute care experience, and I need a part-time job to supplement my current income. If everything works out, I will need to go to full time in March. At this time, I can only work Friday and Saturday nights.
I have been applying to several companies, but they keep giving me the run around. One company even told me I did very well on their test and that I was put in a pool of transcriptionists to be contacted. The recruiter called me once, and I missed her call. I called her back and left a message, but I have not heard anything else from her.
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!

Any companies offer health insurance for part time?
companies change all the time - her info is old, she said. (sm/small message)
A turnover in managers,QA, leads, even recruiters can make an impact and happens all the time, so you never know; old info - grain of salt. newer info more reliable and needs to be found while considering.
I am having a hard time understanding why companies consistently overhire when they run an ad.
They have to know that people that need a certain amount of income are either going to quit or cut back and get a second job. What does it gain them. I would think this constant hiring and hiring and training would get very old and certainly has to impact quality.
Yes, but there is play time and there is work time. sm
You volunteer. Awesome!! As long as you are volunteering during nonwork time that is great or during time that you have scheduled to be off. Again all great!!! We all have to take off with our kids when they are sick. Did it today as I had both at home and took PTO time for it. If you do these things in this manner, no big deal, but I am talking about the ones who constantly do not showw up for work and have excuses as there are more of them than there are of people who actualy take this job seriously.
As far as retirment from the other poster.... please. I am nowhere even close but I can say the downfall of this business is NOT because it is going overseas. It is because we do not have well trained American MTs. I have been here for 18 years. I have watched it go down. It is sad but we can't change it YET!
Are there any companies who offer health benefits to part time employees?
Need insurance.
Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
Which companies offer PTO for part time employee status, along with contributing 401K, shift....sm
 differentials, and incentive based pay plan? I think I covered it all. Mostly looking for PTO as a part time employee. Thanks for your replies.
