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? 
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!!!!
Do they use an internet platform or do they require long distance? TIA nm
Thank you. Then TT has right to require set hours

Cannot require you set hours, but also
do not have to give you work during the hours you want.
How many hours does MQ require for PT?
Is there a minimum line requirement plus minimum hour requirement per week? Thanks!
checkout First Choice, they don't require hours
they have you pick days and on the days you work they want you to take at least 45 minutes of dictation
Do all MTSOs require 39+ hours to qualify for

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!
They require 1150 lines per day
How many lines were required when you worked there? Why did it take you more than 8 hours to do 1150 lines?
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.
Does OSi really require the 185 lines per hour that they ask for on their website? nm

pretty sure they require 1200 lines/pay pd for SE (nm)

SGS require 2400 daily lines?
Does anyone know if it is true that Superior Global Solutions out of Texas requires 2400 daily lines to qualify for full time and receive benefits? If so, is there enough work to actually make that many daily lines? Are they a good company to work for? Thanks in advance, all responses appreciated.

We stay at hotels that offer wireless internet services, most only charge like $10 to use 24 hours.
and then we travel to relatives who usually have internet service, but our laptop does have a wireless card. I love technology!!
Yes, they added a tiny bit to the benefits, but now require 12,000 lines.
That was a low blow!!! It is almost impossible to get 10,000 lines on those nasty VA accounts and now they are requiring more. I will be looking for a new home. This sucks!!!
Do any companies require less than 40 hpw for FT?

Companies should require MTs to have sm
a complete reference library as most newbies rely expressly on Google or the word help boards. This is where US MT quality has hit the skids in very recent years. The new MTs don't want to bother researching so they can't possibly realize the serious mistakes they continue to make.
All companies who require OT have to pay for it (sm)
If a company has enough work for OT, by law the employee has to record it and the company has to pay it (if the employee has been approved to work the OT). Get everything in writing. For MTs, OT is usually the normal cpl rate x 1.5 for OT lines, which equates to the same as time and a half as mandated by federal laws.
All companies I know of go back and forth between no work and gobbs of OT. I don't know of any company that consistently is out of work or consistently requires OT. Feast of famine in this industry.
I think the companies that DO require
you to clock in and out are few.
What I said was that few companies do require it, so
most of them don't require it.
There are some companies who only require
35 hours. You might be able to get by with producing the minimal line counts though if it is a company that doesn't require you to clock in and out.
A lot of companies only require line

Which companies will let/require me to use Shorthand? sm
I hope the mods will leave this since I've already researched and cannot find the answer on the job board.
I love ShortHand and have been building my Shorthand file for many years now. It's definitely tied to my ability to produce. I know of two companies that use it:
Webmedx - employees use Shorthand
Oracle - may use Shorthand (not sure if it's required).
Any others? And please let me know if required or optional. Thank you very much for your help!
Most companies require a certain quota be met
Even as an IC I committed myself to 180 reports a day. I do anywhere from 180-225. I did not sign a contract but did commit to it.
some companies require 1500 lpd -

To the companies that require cable or DSL
I have no access to cable and never will because of the area I live in. I also have no access to DSL and do not know when that will happen, if ever. Companies that required cable or DSL should know that they lose out on many experienced and qualified transcriptionists because of that requirement. Like Diskriter--ever since I started job seeking a few weeks ago they have had post after post looking for transcriptionists. I cannot apply because they need high speed internet. What exactly needs the high speed?? Downloading voice files, uploading voice files. I am curious. I work for a company that I downloaded the voice files via internet, typed the files in Word and then uploaded them via internet site and/or FTP. Easy to do and no high speed required. Can anyone enlighten me?
I need a job like yesterday but my options are very limited. I put a query on the board looking for companies that are okay with dialup and got only two names. That is very disheartening. Anyone out there with company names that do dialup still would be very appreciated. Email me if you want, whatever, something.
Thank you all.
Most companies now require a weekend day. I
suggest posting your resume on the various job boards in addition to looking at the ads posted.
Most companies these days require
employees to work at least 1 weekend day. T think any of them would be delighted to have someone who wanted to work both.
Most companies these days require a
weekend day, even hospitals require at least 1 a month if not more. It is the norm. This is a 24/7 job, 365 days a year.
COMPANIES & satellite internet
Sorry about the error there, I hit the button before I caught that!!!
Internet based companies?
I'm probably grasping at straws here, but can anyone suggest any really good companies that are hiring for internet based work? IC or employee, it doesn't matter! I'm currently working with DVI and not really happy with it. I would much rather stick with the internet based companies. 
which companies do internet work -
as opposed to having to have a second phone line? Thanks.
Companies that allow Satellite internet?
Are there any that allow satellite internet? I may be moving to an area that does not have internet connection yet which is ridiculous since I live in a smaller area now that has it. Oh well, any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA!! 
Companies that require five years' experience...sm
This October, I will be working as an MT for five years. I'm now looking to change companies and I notice there are several who require a minimum of five years' experience.
Would I be better off waiting until October, when I will have been an MT for five years, to change? Do these companies pay any better than those who require less experience? Or are they all pretty much the same and I may as well go ahead and apply to the ones who have less stringent prerequisites?
I've only worked for one MT company so I'm not very savvy on the MT marketplace. Any advice would be appreciated.
Which companies require credit checks?....
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but requiring drug tests, background and credit checks smacks of total disregard for my privacy. It is disrespectful, to say the least, not to mention insulting.
If an employer feels justified to approach me with implied suspicions that I may be a drug addict, criminal or a deadbeat on my way IN the front door, no telling what lies in store for me once I step through it.
I do not bring my personal life to my job and would never consent to what amounts to an administrative strip-search by giving an employer free access to my private information. If they ask for this, it tells me they have nothing to offer me.
I am currently doing a job search and would love to know which companies are doing this, so as not to waste their time or mine.
MT Companies that accept satellite internet
'Kay, Im taking a chance here by asking this, I hope no one yells at me...I recently saw a post, but I can't remember what board I saw it on, it was a post about companies that will accept satellite internet and they had the companies listed.....Can someone PLEASE tell me who the companies are???? I am going satellite soon and would like to know who they are! TIF
Which companies accept satellite internet?
Just moved to rural Maine and found out the company I work for currently doesn't accept satellite, so I'm looking for one that does. Anyone know of any?
Do all companies require you to work 1 year before you can take vacation?
Meaning you are an employee, of course. Just wondering if there is any hope out there. If you start with a company and it turns out horrible, then you have to start all over again, waiting for another year to go by. I don't want to wish my life away!!
Thanks everyone!
The reasons companies require high-speed
internet can vary, even if you can download via FTP. It seems like a lot of companies use a platform now where you have to be on-line while you work as you are typing live into their system. Other companies may have only a couple of lines to be able to download so they want you to have high-speed to make it quicker. If the company has an FTP you aren't accessing a phone line and can download even at a very slow dial-up speed.
I've seen companies advertise and say you need a C-phone and a high-speed connection. I don't know that just because a company may have an FTP site for you to download that it will eliminate the need for high-speed depending on what their platform is.
Lots of companies require you to work live in their
system and dial-up won't allow you to do that. Some companies ask for DSL/Cable so it is less taxing on their servers for people to download. I know there were companies who are okay with dial-up because you just download and then work off-line, but I think those numbers are dwindling.
How many companies do not require you to fill out a time clock? NM
Thanks.
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
s
they go by lines - not hours. nm
