Does Transtech require one weekend day to be worked for part-timers? Thanks!
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.
I'm part-time and don't have to work all weekend. I work Tues-Sat.
I've never heard that from Chronicle, of course I didn't see the ad.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
Does anyone know if Futurenet hires part time weekend work? (nm)
Pay was low back in 2005 unless you worked the entire weekend. nm

Used to be 7.4-7.7 cpl for clinic, 8 cpl for hospital w/1 weekend shift, 10 if U worked entire

In late 2005, they offered 7.4-7.7 for clinic, 8 for hpl, 10 for an entire weekend, 1200 lpd, and

can any part-timers tell me...
If you have requested time off without pay in the past and if it was at all a problem?
do they take part timers?.....nm
any part-timers for JLG
Just wondering if there are any part-timers for JLG- wondering if you went from full-time to part-time? What are the requirements?
Why don't they want part timers? sm
What is the quota for full time? I think they're missing out on some good MTs who for many reasons can only work part time.

I just left there about 3 weeks ago. They have Apex and another platform now. I didn't have any problems with the platform I was on. Work volumes were very, very low most days. I had 2 different accounts and there was no work on either for several days at a time. I didn't have problems with QA. My problem was with disorganization. I liked the company as a whole and I loved my account, but I wouldn't go back mainly because of the low work and no opportunity to make up time because of low work volumes most of the time.
Will never understand why part timers get
same or better pay than full time people. I know they do not get paid benefits, but it is still the full time people who are the backbone and need to be appreciated.
I know there are some part-timers working there.
There aren't any benefits available to PT though.
do they hire part-timers?
I'm not sure I'd want 1200 lines a day. Is that a requirement?
It is tough on part timers.
I think that's probably the point. Webmedx benefits by having more full time employees. I don't personally like it because I'm part time and it's a pay cut for me, but I do understand.
I believe it was just the part-timers that got the e-mail. sm
Work volumes are extremely low, however.
No longer paying any PTO for part-timers
With the push of a button and an email going out, they informed their MT's today NO MORE PTO for PT.
How do part-timers "kill rates?" nm

Part timers often do not carry their weight.
forcing the full timers to pick up the slack and resent them.
Does Keystrokes hire part timers? Thx. nm

There are no part-timers being hired anymore.
They are FT only.
Are the part-timers quitting DeVenture?
It's been about a month now with very little if any work for part-timers. Anyone else quitting?
Does anyone know if Webmedx hires part-timers? TIA (nm)
zzzz
I think part timers will be giving up their benefits?! sm
I got an uneasy feeling in one of the conference calls when they were saying how excited they were about this whole thing and how things would not change. I e-mailed someone at DeVenture asking if us part times would lose our benefits and the response was that she did not know and would have to get a hold of someone at Transcend. I really need the health insurance that I now pay the whole amount on. It doesn't sound good or look good to me, but will wait and see.
Doesn't seem to be a lot of others hiring part timers though

Do they use part-timers? Is their software friendly and accurate? Thx. nm

Transtech part-timers schedule question
I know TT requires their FT employees to either rotate full weekends or work a schedule that includes either a Saturday or Sunday. Does anyone know if they require this of the PT people?
Thanks!
Webmedx- Do they offer bennies for part timers?
Also, what does the phone interview consists of. I was told it would be a 30 minute interview.
I wanna think that OSI has an ad up stating that now have benefits for part-timers..Other than that,
I do not think many do. Everyone was saying how Wedmedx did, but when I checked into it, their idea of PT was like 35 hours or something, but I could be wrong and I do believe they are also fairly rigid about those 35 hours. I think anyone that offers health insurance is going to ask for a fairly strict schedule and probably FT but you never know. You might also check into your local hospitals. I know they do have insurance and usually pretty good for PT.
Any companies letting part-timers buy in on the health insurance? sm
Just wondering if there are any transcription companies where you can work 20 or 25 hours a week and get in on the health insurance plan even if you have to pay the whole premium yourself? Thanks
looking for transcription co that needs at-home part-timers and provides equip/software
Does anyone know of a transcription company that needs part-time at-home transcriptionists and provides equipment and/or software? Thanks!

Webmedx offers incentive scale to part timers. NM

Any companies offer part-timers chance to buy into group insurance? need coverage ....
I've been looking at prices for solo medical insurance and while I can probably afford some coverage, I'm feeling rather paranoid about having insurance canceled if I actually get sick -- I'm fairly ignorant about what protections may have been passed and may just be responding to other people's horror stories.
Anyway, I'm not entirely sure I want to work full time for any of the nationals ... they seem to have gotten awfully rigid wrt daily line counts within certain fixed hours ... some days I'm simply creaky and hate feeling pressured ... so part time to start seems more reasonable than jumping in with both feet. Any infor or recommendations appreciated ...
Thanks!
I still have never run out of work the entire 1.5 yrs I have worked sm
there (with the exception of the holidays), and every single time I have asked to be put on another (additional) account, they have happily done so.
Do they have enough work to keep you busy? Do full timers have any flexibility in their hours?
Competitive line rates?
You gotta be kidding me! Do NOT work for those wages it hurts the entire industry. sm
People taking those wages are hurting the entire MT field period whether in the US or elsewhere. You are only padding someone else's pockets with those wages. Highway robbery.
It looks like you need to hire yourself a proofer.
Anyone work for Chronicle Transcripts -please e-mail me. nm

I'll love to know who you work for. I also work every weekend with no extra pay.
It'd be nice to get paid for all the nights and weekends I work.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.

Chronicle Transcripts is a great place to work
Anyone out there work for Chronicle Transcripts who could answer questions?
Thanks..I am thinking about applying with them but wanted to see what employees had to say as far as working for them etc..
A 3-day weekend every weekend? Wouldn't that be nice. Good luck with that!..nm

no weekend work - sm
Sounds like Transcend!
There are MTs out there who are looking for weekend work...sm
I guess I don't understand your complaint with the company posting that ad. They have a need they need to fill, and it might be the right fit for somebody.
Weekend work...
Contact docQmed. I am one of his clients and am always looking for weekend warriors.
weekend work.....
What position are you interested in? If you do read the previous posts, just ignore them...of course they are all ex-employees who left on a bad note with the company. If you would like you can contact me concerning a position with Shapin.
Do you still have to work every 4th weekend or is

weekend work
Are there any companies who will allow you to work both weekend days as part of a regular schedule. I am looking for a reliable company, at leat 8.5 cpl, employee status and one where work flow is regular. I realize there are always slow downs in this industry but searching for a company where you are not consistently running out of work. I prefer to work both Sat and Sun to allow me 2 days off during the week. I know this is unusual. I have an IC job. Love the flexiblity but I need benefits.
weekend work
I picked a Sun-Thur schedule so I plan to work Sun after dinner, and get my weekend in first...
