In Reply to: "full time" - Happy OSi'er

That is a great gig you have going. Do you have to work weekends?

I used to work for them part-time -- I think 20 hours/week is the minimum. nm
nm
Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
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
Which companies consider full-time 35 hours per week? THX......nm
nm
Yes it does, but 35 hours a week is all that is required to be full time and get bennies.
.
Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm
nm
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
how may hours a week do you work
or maybe a better question is how many lines a day do you do?
how many hours a week do you work to get this?
so, you don't really know what it's like to work a national.
How many hours do you work a week? (NM)

How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
I work 1 job, about 36 hours/week and make at
least that amount, plus have vacation and PTO, also an employee so they pay taxes.   I found that working multiple account keep me from making money because I have to learn so many doctors and be aware of the different formats/platforms and account specific stuff.  I used to work a bunch of jobs part-time and was working 7 days a week and lots and lots of hours and not making very much money.   If I worked the same hours on one account I could have easily made $80,000+/year. 
The MTs can't be forced to work over 40 hours in a week
unless paid OT pay. If the work is not getting done, maybe they need additional help on the account or MTs who can actually do the work in a reasonable time to stay in TAT.
Any companies out there that allow you to work 5-10 hours a week?
I have a full time job, but need to make a bit more income.  Are there any good companies that might work for me?  Thanks for any input.
Just curious - how many hours a week do you work? nm
xx
I work 40 hours a week. I'm glad you're
back to making good money, but I don't feel that I-chart is ripping me off. If I did, I wouldn't stay.
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. 


 


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.
time to work offshore hours and grab
all you can away from the 'partners,' eh?
Can you tell me how many hours a part time person is allowed to work. Does it specify that at all.
I didnt quite understand that 8, 16 and 24 hour thing. I thought part time as long as you cut off before the full time hours you can work them.
I work at AMphion part-time and make as much there in 20 hours as I do at my FT job in 40
.
Any companies with part-time clinic work/daytime hours? Thanks!! nm

I personally can't sit for 4 hours at a time. I work 2 hous, sign off and take a short break.

It might just be fixing something to drink or starting a load of laundry.  If you did something like that then you wouldn't have to worry about a disconnect and possibly losing a report. 


 


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.


 


You do not get PTO for 16 hours a week. 24 hours or more for the PTO. nm
:
20 hours per week

I have 3 accounts and work about 20  to 22 hours per week on them including printing, delivering, cutting apart chart notes, clean up their dictation, change things, etc.  and I make betweem the three of them (5 docs, 2 surgeons, 2 IM's and one plastic surgeon) $3200 to 3400.   Guess I am lucky.   Work at a clinic doing electronic chart notes and get paid $15 hour plus benefits and put in as many hours as I want -- up to 20 and sometimes bring tapes home and make 1200 to 1400 there.  Not bragging but the accounts are out there.

because anything over 40 hours a week
has to be paid at OT line rate if you are at full-time employee status.  That's probably why.
IC - 30 hours week. nm
x
32 hours/week
nm
More like 80 hours/week hu?
More like 80 hours/week hu? Unless you work your booty off and have no life or have a slew of macros that you use for EVERY word transcribed.
Only 36-40 hours a week
It actually only takes me 6-8 hours a day of transcribing to make that much. The platform is great, and I do nothing but ER reports. Love it!
16 hours a week or 8 a week and get
401 K.
Anyone know of a company that needs about 10 hours a week...
I'm looking for part-time work, about 10 hours a week.  I've got 13 years full-time acute care experience and just need a few hours, Mon-Fri, morning or night!
Interviewed the other day - PT is 15 hours per week. (sm)

Don't know much about the way the jobs load, but she did say people are only taking 2 weeks or less to get up to speed.  (Of course, I know, they can tell you anything.) 


The recruiter was very pleasant, the test was a verbal thing, and the pay was decent.


 


 


Anyone know if TransTech will do PT less than 20 hours per week? nm
.
$4000 - PT - 20 hours week as IC. nm

What companies have 10 or less hours per week...
Most companies want 20 hours for part time, but with working outside the home, it's hard to swing it.  Anyone know of any?  Thanks so much.
At mine it's 8 hours/day, 40 hrs/week.
SMALL PRINT:
What they DON'T bother to tell you is that with the minimum line count you're going to be expected to produce daily, it's going to take you 12+ hours to get it all done. 4 hours of which, you know, you will NOT be paid for.

THAT's 'full-time' employment in the MT world.
Spheris PT 20 hours week?

Do they require 20 hours a week for PT and/or weekends? 


Not really...Minimum of 35 hours per week plus SM
more hours if they need you to work which means no part time.
PT has to be 24 hours a week at 100 LPH minimum.
nm
sorry should have put an average of 24 hours 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 lacked 5 hours for the last week. Think that'll be okay since
work was low? I was going to make it up Sunday, but work still low and didn't want to take from the scheduled folks.
Yes. I earn almost $40,000 working 32 hours a week. nm
nm
MQ requires 24 hours per week for PTO benefits.nm.
x
You didn't mention how many hours a week
you are working. ??
You didn't mention how many hours a week
Five days a week; 10-12 hour days.
PT 20 hours week including 1 weekend day ....nm

Any companies let you accrue PTO with less than 40 hours per week? (sm)
WMX used to give  FT benefits at 35 hours per week.  I can do without the insurance, etc.  but really hate to give up PTO.
