I would get fired.. you would qualify for unemployement. If you quit, then you would not qualify..
As far as using them a reference, I would not worry about that.. From my experience, I have hardly had any potential employers check my references or when they did I just gave them the heads up about my version of what happened. Most are thankful of the honest as not every company is a fit for everyone. I doubt that would hold it against you.
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!
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? 
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
MDI-MA does not require a set schedule- you do your required lines in 24 hours. nm

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!
Companies that require ONLY lines - not certain hours, preferably internet sm
based and part time. TIA
Only require 400 lines completed within 24 hours....good company...

I would think you qualify. . sm
A man quit at my husband's trucking company and then filed for unemployment. He told them there was not enough work. There was plenty of work, he just wanted to quit. He actually got the paid unemployment. It cost us a lot of money, and now he will only hire ICs. It was really unfair because the man quit. He was having trouble in his marriage and his wife wanted him to be home. So that's what he did. He quit and lived off the unemployment checks for 6 months or more. It doesn't hurt to check into it. It seems like if he could get it, you would be likely to qualify. Two weeks is a long time to go without work. Good luck!
Please qualify that statement..have you ever used DQS?sm
just tell me please before I jump into another rediculous platform full of demo screens to wade through before actual transcription.
I probably don't qualify to post
because I have yet to do VR. However, my neighbor is working for a local clinic as an IC and she loves it.
However, from reading this board, what I pick up and I may clearly be off base but if you work for a good company VR is okay but a lot of places it seems are letting people use it that don't need to be using it and they are having to retype the report for half the pay.
Basically what it boils down to is who you work for.
Do not need FT status to qualify for UE - sm
They go according to work you have DONE in the past 52 weeks rather than what you were promised. In my state, must have worked at least 20 week during last 52 weeks, earning $80.00 or more (may be $90 by now, data is couple of years back). I don't think 1 day of no work would qualify, either. Here there is a waiting period of 1 week - benefits start second week of unemployment. So easy for employer to manipulate.
What DOES qualify though, as well, is a SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION in salary or hours originally agreed upon, not being paid at least minimum wage, and given title/job duties different from what originally hired for.
After my last 2 checks from Transcend, I now can qualify
to get food stamps and some living assistance. Sure hope the big guys in the company - all those new bosses they hired - are getting the same big pay cuts and low wages, but you can be sure the only thing they are doing is getting bigger backsides from sitting around sending out lies about how great this program is and how much they are doing to help us. Larry, you need to get your act together and tell the truth for once. You are not doing a d****ed thing to help anyone but yourself.
You still qualify for holiday pay as long as you sm
tried to work and have NSA messages. Ask your STM, just to verify. S/he should tell you that you'll still get the holiday pay b/c it isn't your fault that you're out of work.
Anyone switching from IC to FT for MQ - qualify for sign on bonus? (nm)
;
Depending on the reason you may not qualify for unemployment...sm
If an employer has good grounds for dismissal then unemployment won't be awarded.
Can you tell me how long you have to wait before you qualify for insurance?
Thanks, and can I ask how many lines you do weekly (average) on their accounts? I noticed it has varied for me among diffent companies.
Nope, not a catch. The only thing you need to do to qualify I think is have been there one year in
to be eligible. They pay like four weeks at full pay (your average weekly earnings) or eight weeks at half pay. Your choice. They strongly believe that it's the right thing to do.
Does anyone know how long it takes before you qualify for insurance at Keystrokes? nm

Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.
nm
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.
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.
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
Must we choose either 8, 16 or 24 hours. Why would they want someone only working 8 hours a week.
That is less than SE are required now.
MDI-FL. Approximately 7 hours a month x12 months =84 hours
And your PTO acrues from day 1. You are just unable to utilize it until after 90 days. They have excellent benefits.
You can have insurance at 30 hours with Encompass, 32 hours with eTransPlus. nm
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.
x
You do not get PTO for 16 hours a week. 24 hours or more for the PTO. nm
:
That's exactly what I was going to say. Yes, I work at least 12 hours a day, sometimes 15 hours
to get all of my line count in because I have so many interruptions in my day. There is no way I would tell my company this nor expect them to pay me OT that they never asked you to do. Unless, I was called by my supervisor and asked to work extra for OT, I would never just take it upon myself to work and expect to be paid. If you were not authorized to work OT, then your not getting paid. Point blank. I do not work at TT, but I have worked at enough jobs, at home as an MT and otherwise outside of home, that all have the same policy, your paid OT when your asked to work it. It's it is just a case of not being able to get your required line count in 8 hours, then maybe your in the wrong profession or possibly just the wrong company/account for you. This just seems bizarre to me. Just tell yourself, your not getting paid for OT because they aren't approving it so don't work it. Again, if you were asked to work OT, told it would be OT, and then they ask you not to record it, I'd pitch a fit, but from what I see, you've done this on your own.
? 13.33 for 3 hours ($4.44 hours) am I doing it right. Geez!!!!!i
.
they cannot require that of an IC.nm
What does FTP mean? Require for job. nm
dd
They require 40 from me anyway nm
nm
They only require you to do 3... nm
X
I should add that they are going to require sm
at least 2500 lines per week as a minimum and do not have a lot of PT positions. It really depends where they have gaps in coverage.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
How many lpd does Transhealth require for sm
employee status? 1200? Do they also require a 40 hour week commitment or just a line committment? Would prefer to have just a line commitment. TIA
Moderator: Can you require sm
ads to give a company name as well as IC, statutory or employee status?? Would make things much clearer and simpler. Thanks, MomMT
Not just MT, most Employers require it now
It is becoming quite common for any employer, not just MT Services, to do a Credit Check now. Some companies think that if you cannot handle your finances (late payment, judgments, etc), you will not make a good employee or you might be tempted to try to cheat on something. Since past employers are reluctant to give any information besides dates of employment for fear of being sued, new employers had to find some other way to dig up the dirt, so to speak. Just the sign of our times. No one trusts anyone anymore. Nothing personal. Used to be you could just send in a copy of your ID (Driver's license, SS card, passport, etc), and now they want you to have it Notorized, but still get it back to them within the 72 hours required. Best advice -- find a job you like and try to stay there -- forever!! 
They most certainly require weekends and
They assigned me F-M schedule second and third shift, saying it was all that was available. I was the go-to MT in my previous positions and always at the top of the QA pile and production at an acute care facility with 1000+ beds. Loads of experience and great education. Spheris recruiting could not have been less interested in talking with me (I know for a fact that my manager recommended me to them and spoke very highly of me), yet their ads looking for help are everywhere. How is it possible with all their openings that I'm assigned F-M evenings and nights?????
Is there a way to talk directly to account supervisors?
does MDI require weekends? - nm
nm
I don't understand. They require 98%, and you are doing better than that,
but they are threatening to be removed from the account? I don't get it. What is it they want you to do differently?
Do any companies require less than 40 hpw for FT?
nm
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.
How much experience they require,
are they hiring, etc.
Does this mean Focus does not require
MTs to use company supplied computers? I thought I read on this site somewhere that they did, thus the concern. If they don't, that's great.
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.
