Does DQS track your time for payroll, or do we fill in our own timesheet on-line? nm

Do you still have to fill out a timesheet with the keystrokes
s
you fill out a manual report and email to payroll at end of pay period.

What about keeping a timesheet? Is that required since you just meet a line count? SM
Do you have to keep track that you worked at these certain hours each day, or do you just log on and work and meet your line count and not care what time it is?
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?
No, not a time clock. You just fill out a time sheet sm
with your days and times and lines and email it every 2 weeks.
It really seems to be a great place to work so far -- the people are great and the work has not run out. I have been paid more, but then again, I am an employee and have benefits and do not have to mess with that tax hassle anymore, so I'm happy.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
Did not like. Slow, cumbersome, no way to track line counts.

I'd keep track of my time and figure out my hourly (sm)
and go from there. It'll either be an hourly rate you're happy with or not, kwim?
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
You fill in a time sheet
but why dread it? attitude is 60% of the challenge (or more). You might just like it better, i do.
I don't think any of them do, but some of them require VERY little time to fill in.

You fill out a schedule a month at a time..sm
and you can change it at anytime. You are not required to work weekends. The work is pooled, they use ExText. They are wonderful!
You fill out a time sheet. If you need to make a change sm
to your schedule, you just email them. They seem pretty flexible about everything.
Hope this helps.
How many companies do not require you to fill out a time clock? NM
Thanks.
I think they will hire PT if it is a hard to fill time slot. I would talk
to them and see. They go both by hours worked and lines transcribed since you are employee status. The insurance is First Health and the coverage is great. We had Aetna prior to this and First Health offers better coverage for less money. Vacation accrues immediately but you cant' take it for the first 90 days. I think you get 11 days the first year and it increases every year after that. I think the max is either 21 or 26 days per year.
Hope that helps.
I just keep track of my main break. I don't keep track
of every interruption during my shift, that would be ridiculous. Im not gonna log every potty break, or phone call I have to take. I take 20-30 mins for my dinner break and that is what I log on my sheet.
Any company not meeting payroll on time is not worth it.
I wouldn't wait around. There is no excuse for them not to meeting payroll once, much less twice.
MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
They are very nice people.
The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.
Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm

Timesheet?
I will be coming from an SE position where I DID NOT need to keep a timesheet, will this now be a requirement or is there some way MQ does it all for you?
Timesheet
If you have Excel, the time sheet is automatically filled in with everything but how many hours you worked...it's very easy and takes about 3 seconds to complete and send. The platform is so easy that I'm surprised it doesn't type the report for you :) Again, great company..and no, I am not management...merely a happy MT.
timesheet? ha!
pfft. i worked for transform for 3+ years and never sent in a timesheet. And you have to work more than 40 hours or you get nagged, nagged, nagged, nagged, nagged until you do.
The timesheet merely keeps them "legal"
even though they ask you to be illegal and falsify your timesheets.
I just note on my timesheet
In the hours field, I minus how many hours of no work. I figure it's not my fault, it's theirs. What I don't like is that if it picks up later in the week they say we NEED to make up our time. The way I see it, I'm available when scheduled, sometimes I make it up, sometimes I don't. Life is too short to be stressed out about no work or too much work. My job comes second in my life and I have found this to be the best solution. I guess today is going to be bad because I hardly ever run out since I start really early in the morning and only work part time. I do other things while waiting and if it never comes like today, oh well...soon enough we will be swamped again. It always happens that way.
No timesheet. Just log on and work. nm

Save your timesheet for viewing only and lock it so it can't be edited. nm

track changes
Ok, I am correcting one of my girls documents. I am trying to use track changes. After i email this to her i want to get rid of the red marks, save, and send to my client. How do i get rid of these red marks?
NOW you are on the right track.
As to noncompete agreements? They are generally not enforceable IF they are too broad - and that's where an attorney comes in - for interpretation. IF YOU DON'T target THEIR clients, you are free to solicit business where you choose. So bypass the legal stuff and solicit your OWN, different clients...
You should ALSO contact your reps in congress - in a serious professional can I have a meeting type of way. Start with your local representative and be prepared to some serious homework. This is if you want to undertsanding why and how offshoring exists. Not as simple as some would have you believe.
Good luck!
off track totally....
And we have a Chevy with 300,000 miles been going strong for years plowing snow, blah, blah, blah....but all this is off track and is very unfortunate that it appears that many just simply do not care if the MT industry gets off-shored or not. But again, that is every individuals perogative to care or not to care and only someday when it affects you or someone you love personally will you ever truly understand!!
They also track your location
because you cannot post anonymously anymore. If you are using a proxy site you cannot post.
Big Brother MTSO.
Be patient and you will see over time your line counts will (sm)
pick up. You are doing much different work now than you were with your PT clinic account. In the long run your efforts will pay off. Just be sure that the line counting program they are using is accurate and there are no hidden surprises. I don't like the idea that you don't get paid for header information. That is crazy.
Part-time line requirements
I am an IC thinking of changing to a larger national part time as an employee. But as an IC, I have no idea how the line requirments work? If I am a part-time employee working 20 hours a week and I don't meet my line requirements, am I allowed to work extra hours? 
No but they skim line counts big time

Line count for full time
I will look up my contract today and get back to you on it. However, you can always call there, they would be glad to answer questions. But, I will write again with the number which I had on my contract (remember, I was an IC last year, it could have changed).
The only time I don't make my line count
it is my own fault for wasting time, surfing the net, etc. It's always my fault. Even when we had a dry spell with work trickling in I still hopped on when most people weren't working and I still made my required count for the pay period.
no it doesn't track total for whole day
you have to do each document individually, but also keep in mind that it counts ALL lines, both typed and not typed. So be careful of that, if you aren't getting paid for blank lines.
You're exactly right! Oh, and please do not track me down at my personal
Big no-no. No-no.
Can companies track who you are on this board?
If you post a question/comment here about your company, if they wanted to know who you are, it is possible for them to track down who you are?
Thanks
Maybe 45 minutes, didn't keep track though sm
wasn't bad in my opinion. Pretty routine questions, the more you know off your head, the faster it goes and also if you keep the small talk down and get to business, doesn't take that long.
Well, now I'm curious. I have to track down who I worked for. I was

Can anyone tell me Amphion's line rate for full time?
I looked through the archives but could only find 6000 for part time.
Thanks
It goes two ways. MTs have to turn their line counts in on time and
in the format they are supposed to, not 4 days after the fact, not with mistakes that they find after the fact. There has to be accountability both ways.
Their ads say .09 per line, 1.10 per report, which you could have saved yourself time by reading.

Webmedx - don't think I get get line count in for payperiod this time. (sm)
Several days of no/low work and last weekend when usually can pick up lines there was nothing. This weekend will be last weekend of payperiod so I don't hold any big hopes for that.
I am relatively new to Webmedx and this will be the first time I haven't hit the requirements. Can you tell me what might happen if anything. Thanks.
Anyone know what is the full time line requirement per week? nm
Thanks.
I believe they mean that you have to make $900 per PP to be full time, still paid by line

Just did a mapquest and JLG is off Race Track Rd, not that is matters, but.... nt
lines are REALLY hard to get. no way to keep track, you have to ASK for them. it's a pain and not

Yes, they can track you via the IP address that you are posting from. There is no such thing as pri

I DO keep track, and work long hours, but only
If I say I can't do the minimum line count in 8 hours, they say I'm too slow. But if I eliminate quality (by not proofing or not correcting grammar, and just typing verbatim) then I hear about that, too. They just say to work harder, work faster.
The MTSO's only care about their precious TAT and volume. What we have to do to ourselves in order to accomplish THEIR goals is of no importance to them.
The only way it ever will be is if someday they happen to get put under a microscope like other fraudulent US businesses have, lately.
What I wouldn't give to see the fat-cats at AHDI up in front of Congress trying to explain themselves some fine day. Could happen.
Looking for part-time work with good line rate.
I have loads of acute care experience and I am dependable. I never miss a day of work, willing to work weekends, etc. I am looking for a dependable company with steady work. Any ideas?
Checks on time, 10 cents/line IC, nice people.
