Do they have enough work to keep you busy? Do full timers have any flexibility in their hours?

Any info on what is full time for DRC? Hours or lines? Any flexibility? TIA. nm

Part-timers cost as much to have on the books as full timers with only
a fraction of the revenue. It costs the same to run a check, mail things, send equipment, set up with IS, etc with PT as FT.
At MQ you have to work your full scheduled hours.
They need the have all the hours covered for stats and such. I dont understand the 2 different offers for FT, I would think the latter would be PT. If you get paid by production then it would be entirely up to you how many hours you wanted to work a day. Does the 8 hour day pay more or have better benefits?
TransHealth has paid holidays for full timers. nm
Flexibility in that you have 24 hours to get your
projected line counts in. Your line counts are put on a schedule by you every month. This is what you think you will do on a daily basis within 24 hours TAT. If for some reason you can't make it a day, you e mail your sup as early as possible to let them know. So, flexible in that they don't stare at you every minute. You are also welcome to do more than projected and work other times in addition to your schedule if there is work. They e mail the team on the accounts and say when there's lots of work and help needed.
Yet, you are a statutory employee. For me, it is flexible because if one morning I am tired I can work later in the day. If I am up at 2 a.m. I can type. So forth. When I was a regular employee I was often micromanaged and I cannot stand that. Even when there was no work, I was chained to my desk. Here, there is no chaining whatsoever.
Busy does not mean disorganized. I would rather work for a busy company sm
than one with no work. I started with Keystrokes 3 months ago and it is the best thing I ever did. I have a steady paycheck and plenty of work.
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.
i am not full of crap, sorry. cpl and hours inside
I just answered a post asking for ppls salaries. I most definately am not full of crap. I don't work 14-hour days or 7 days a week. I work 6 days a week totalling 48 hours a week if that, usually less. My cpl is 0.12 and as I said before I type 500 lines an hour. You do the math.
I did fail to mention however that is before taxes, which as an IC I have to take care of myself every year and I do not receive health benefits either, paid time off, or sick days.
Still, that kind of money IS possible regardless of what the Naysayers seem to believe is possible. It's exactly that type of close mindedness that keeps a person from succeeding or expanding their horizons to better things. I guess some ppl won't believe the truth when they hear it....
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!
Which companies consider full-time 35 hours per week? THX......nm
nm
Transolutions I believe considers 32 hours full-time...nm
nm
Transcend, is full time 40 hours or X lines?
x
Yes it does, but 35 hours a week is all that is required to be full time and get bennies.
.
It was there for couple of hours until I removed it. See full details inside.
The situation is this. I emailed Ms. Axelrod and asked her to contact me. Rather than email me, she posted a long explanation about her company. The problem is that the address given cannot be verified as Jax having an office at that location. As well, the phone number given is residential, not business. I called and left a message on her answering machine, but received no return call. In the meantime, I removed all ads and responses Ms. Axelrod had posted.
At about 7 PM last night, I received an email from Ms. Axelrod asking us to remove all references of Jax Transcription from this website, because our site was too damaging to their reputation and that people are posting that they are offended when they get a voicemail when calling the number given. Ms. Axelrod said that she is located in an office building under the same name as her partners.
In response, I emailed Ms. Axelrod suggesting that likely the questions and concerns wouldn't have been an issue if she had posted full information in her ads to begin with. I suggested that rather than have me removed all posts about her company, why not work with MTStars by providing full details so that their reputation is sound and that in doing so they would prove that their business is legitmate and the suspicion would cease. I am awaiting a response.
Webmedx PTO rate of 1.08 hours per payperiod and only for Full-time Employees
Webmedx only gives PTO and insurance to full-time employees. No PTO for the first 3 months, then something like 1.08 hours per pay period, starting at 0. If they run out of work or your ISP goes down or your child gets sick and you cannot get in the full 35 hours to qualify for full-time, they want you to use your PTO to make sure your hours add up to 35 that week. If you fall below 35 hours for 3 months in a row, no matter what the reason, they automatically drop you to part-time and take away your insurance. Then, you have to work a minimum of 35 hours for the next 3 months before you will be eligible for insurance again. As far as holidays, if the holiday falls on your scheduled work day, you have to work, unless you ask for it off in advance, but they do pay you for 8 hours of holiday at your normal rate, in addition to any lines you type that day.
Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm
x
T-C - full-time is 1000 lpd along with a "rough estimate" schedule of what hours you'll wor
It's pretty nice.
They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..
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
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
Don't part-timers with Chronicle have to work the entire weekend? Saw in a recent ad. nm
s
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.
x
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.
I have never had low work at MDI... very busy
all the time. I guess different people have different experiences. My experience with MDI has been a great one. I really love it there and would be happy to give you more information via e-mail
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.
x
Full time is 40 hours, and yes they have part-time.
nm
Huh? I am swamped with work.... it is extremely busy.
Are you sure you are talking about the same place????
By the TT MTs. They are so busy with work, they find time to come here
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It's third shift work; we are extremely busy and they have a lot of (see inside)
accounts. I love Transcend. Best place I ever worked
The jobs I have doing acute care work seem to be quite busy. sm
The clinic work that I do is still low, but that was discussed below ... I don't think it has anything to do with the holidays, and I do not care anymore.
Generally, probably hospital work is the way to go as far as a steady stream of work. With clinic work, doctors can take off, shut down totally for holidays, etc., which leaves a big hole, obviously. That's just my opinion, of course.
It would be great to have just one great job you could rely on to always give you a nice fat check each time, but I am beginning to realize if I truly want to be safe, I need to hedge my bets with several other jobs as well. At least until I win the lottery. 
Does Happy OSI'er ever work? She is too busy posting on MTStars!
Just do your work and quit being a cherry picking busy body.
Maybe some people cannot understand the dictator. If you understand the dictator, then just do the report and quit whining on this board.
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.
I do not even work full-time, much less 2 but
what I was saying was exactly the posting below yours, not worry about things you have no control over. If you are not making enough money and you need more, then YOU have to do something about it. Worrying about that or anything else does no good.
Have not had a full day's work since the 4th. Any other Nationals out of work?
Getting really frustrated.  Took a new job because they said there was plenty of work -- overtime. National MTSO with new accounts coming in every day. Since July 4th, have not had a full day's work. I know things can get slow in the summer with doctor's vacations, etc. and around holidays because elective surgeries are down, but this is getting ridiculous. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem, is this normal and expected, or did I choose the wrong company to go with? Can't afford many more of these days. Most I ever went with low work after a holiday or during the summer with my other employers was 2 days, and then usually went into overtime, so could make up those days. Can't make up 2 weeks. Just curious. What has been your experience as far as longest drought period you've gone through with a company. Thanks.
I work full-time for Proscript..... sm
And I never run out of work, but I have 2 large hospitals as my primary accounts, and 3 clinics as my secondary - probably why I don't run out of work ever.
If you are considering full time employee-with-benefits status - a minimum of 11,000 lines per pay period.
If you need more info - please email me
I work full time for a national and as an IC
for a local company. The FT is 40 hours per week, the IC is when I want to work, usually about 10 to 12 hours a week.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
All nationals I work for you only work 40 hours unless they approve overtime.

Full-time MTs, what LD company do you use for work (if LD is required, of course) ?
nm
Psych work is full of modern slang and terminology.
I can see both sides of this issue. First, those are nonmedical terms and wouldn't constitute a serious error. However, it's clear that the test taker did not even do her research on unfamiliar terminology.
yeah and the MTSO still charging full price for the work
Most physicians/hospitals don't even know they're dictating into VR so still paying full-on transcription prices while the nationals/MTSOs cut the MT's salary in half. Nice huh?
Isnt it sad. We just want to go to work every day on our shift, work our 8 hours and be done with it
Instead I sit here hours hoping the Indians leave some work for us so we can at least get our 8 hours in. Nothing like logging onto you shift and being told no work. Nice.
they cant "make you work certain hours" but they can find someone that is willing to work them
If not, they dont have to hire you as IC or anything for that matter. So yes it is perfectly legal.
If she hires you as an IC and it doesn't state in your contract when she needs that particular IC coverage and she then dictates what hours you work, she cannot do that.
But she can refuse to hire you if you don't provide the coverage that she is looking for.
I agree, if you went to work knowing full well that the company paid 7 cpl no spaces
why on Earth did you accept the job?
In my state, if they hire you full time, then do not provide the work you can draw unemployment -
You would have to talk to someone in your state, but I was able to draw partial unemployment while still working in Georgia. I had to report in each week how much I made and they gave me partial benefits. To qualify, you had to have been hired full time.
Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
What hours do you work?
Also, which days? I was thinking of applying with this company. Maybe you could switch your schedule around a little.
They do want you to work the hours (sm)
you have committed to. If you do that, you shouldn't have any problems making your lines - minimum 6600 per week.
