I don't understand - she wants you to work a certain 8 out of your 12 hr window? (sm)

In Reply to: I work at Webmedx too... - Frustrated
I tend to work about the same schedule each day, but if I have something come up like Dr. appointment for my mom or something I am truly grateful for that 12 hour window. Have NEVER been told to stick to a certain schedule within that.

window of work
Some accounts also need you to be available during your assigned shift in case of stats. They might not care if you're not typing for 8 hrs. if you've met quota and the acc't. isn't out of TAT, but might need the account covered for the full 8 hrs.

24 hour window to do work?
Are there companies who do not require a strict schedule to get your work done, so you have a little flexibility to work your hours in a day?
I currently work a 12 hour window.

Nationals with 10- to 12-hour window to work 8 hrs?
I did a search in the archives, but the info I found was a little outdated. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Anyone know of any companies that let you work within a 24 hour time window? sm
I am wondering if there are any companies that let you work anytime you want as long as you get your daily or weekly line count in? Thanks....
I have many, many years experienced and was just told a little while back, even though I am an IC, that I have to have a set schedule...And I am struggling to follow the set schedule due to family illness....
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Are there any companies that allow you a 12-24 hour window to complete work?

Does Webmedx has a strict schedule or a window to get work done?
I tried searching boards, but too many entries came up. Thanks
Absolutely - I work off FTP and have a 24-hour window to return files.
I work my own schedule daily and keep my TAT. It is that simple. No big deal. I download my files late in the evening, transcribe the next day and upload them late in the evening.
Whatever works!
Much more flexible than MQ. 12-hr window to do your work. Rate is lower, but they do have incentives
Haven's started yet, but E-mail me if you'd like and I'll tell you what I can. The Q was just unbearable to me.
Your kidding yourself; NO 12-hour window at Transtech AT ALL! You work your schedule EXACTLY !
This is a fact and all TT MT's know this.
I do not understand. I work for three....sm
different companies, all on Dictaphone Word Client and all of them count lines differently. One company I fight to even get 150 lines an hour, if I can even get that, the other one I am doing up to 300 lines an hour, and the third company I usually make around 200 lines an hour easy. I do the same type of work for all three, the dictators are about the same, but what is the deal? All the companies use the same software, but they are completely different in how they are counting lines. Any one else find this? It just does not make sense to me. 
I can understand that if the work is low. While you need to make
up lines, it isn't fair to others to not have work on their shift either. Depending on the workload for my accounts the work is only low about 1/2 day on Mondays and then there is lots to go around, which is when I try to make my up lines.
I can understand keeping tabs- but I work for them
and if I take a bathroom break, get a drink of water, etc., etc. I don’t hear about it. I can only think if you are gone from the computer for a period of time, say 30 minutes and leave a report on, sure they can know. I don’t worry about the foot pedal coming up and down and them counting because I always try to have it on and fast forward. I know they know what you have worked on, your line counts, and like that, but if you take a bathroom break, come on now!
I guess I don't understand either. As for holidays, I CHOOSE to work them sm
my kids are grown and gone. They like to come for Thanksgiving, but not Christmas. I have a choice, sit around and pout over it Christmas Day, or work...knowing that what I am doing means another woman who has little ones at home can be with them. I feel like I am making a difference.
I am working July 4th, always have. I'll work Labor Day too, no big deal, although it falls on my Monday off and I won't get comp time, however, I am going to treat myself a nice meal out that week so I don't feel put upon.
I feel EXTREMELY lucky to have a full time job with benefits, regardless of working holidays, a part time job where they don't care when or how much I do (though I try for 500 to 750 a day even though their full time is only 800), and I have been offered a PT QA position in addition to these. I can eat and pay our $4+ a gallon gas. I can pay my bills and most importantly, I can be saving a huge amount of money in case something changes economically and it will.
Grow up and understand this is part of this industry. People don't take holidays off from being sick, injured or dying.
I don't understand it. We've been consistently running out of work primary and secondary the
I quit.

What a lot of people do not understand is companies have a minimum requirement to transcribe, just because you reach the minimum that does not give us the choice to stop working. If everyone stopped working when they met the requirement, how would the TAT be met? Companies expect us to be on during a shift they hired us for, and besides, who wants to just make the minimum? Must be nice to be able to live on that! I certainly need to transcribe as much as I can during the day and not just meet the minimum per day. The company I work for is flexible, but they do expect me to work the days and hours that I agreed to work. Just because we are not hourly that does not mean we can quit when minimum production is met. Other people who work for production based companies do not just get up and leave when they have met their production for the day, ie quota. Think about all those other places that are purely production based. They do not say, "Oh well I've reached my quota for the day, time to go home!" We have a production/quota we are required to reach, and that is all this is, a quota you have to reach, the quota does not come with the idea that you reach a quota and you are done for the day! I never heard of such a thing.
they have a 24-hr window.

24-hour window
Yes, MedScript in Florida, not to be confused with MedScribe.
MDI-MD gives you a 24-hour window sm
to do your lines for the day, whatever you committed to. The pay is great, and hte accounts are easy. You do have to pay your own LD, but with so many unlimited plans available, that is really not a big deal for me. They hire statutory employees, which means they take out your FICA (and match), but no other taxes. Good luck!
12-hour window
I was offered a job with Spheris in 2/06 and they had
12-hour window schedules at that time.
12 hour window
I also have been looking for this situation. Even a 10-12 hour window would be great. It seems like this could be win-win for both the MT and company because of the need for flexibility on both ends.
Yes, 12-hour window
Also, don't need a second phone line, it's an Internet platform.
Webmedx Window
Does anyone know the window for a part-time (4 hours a day) worker? I hear it's 9 hours?

MDI-MD I believe has a 24-hour window
that is pretty darn flexible if you ask me.
12 hour window
Well I wonder why they told me they no longer allowed the 12-hour window because it was just too crazy form them to deal with. I specifically asked, and the recruiter specifically told me no 12-hour window, I would have to work a set 8-hour shift with a 1/2 hour lunch break and 2 other 15-minute breaks. That was a big deal breaker for me, if they had allowed the 12-hour window as mentioned here on mtstars I might have seriously considered going with them.
Webmedx. For those who have a window - do you sm
stick pretty rigidly to this or if you have unexpected interruptions do you run as much as an hour outside your window? I have heard they are pretty flexible. E-mail if you wish.
wide window
5 cpl to 11 cpl
Some then have bonuses
Average seems to be 7-8 cpl
Those who are IC working for that are crazy, IMO.
12-hour window.
Been with OSi a while. Never heard of a 12-hour window. Have always asked me for a set schedule. Does it depend on the account you are on?
The 12-hour window has been tried and sm
tossed at a number of different companies. Reason? It is abused by people (probably not you). They never really manage to get those 8 hours within the 12. That's why companies try it and then decide to scrap it.
...but they have a 24-hour window...
Still may be a good fit if you can fit it in in the early morning or late when kids are asleep.
can you handle a 12-hour window?
Our company is offering a bonus right now, as they are taking on a couple of new accounts. It depends on so much, because where I find them great to work for, others have not.
I have been here about six months, and have never had one issue about scheduling; however, I do work the days I have committed to, just that they have a 12-hour window in which to do it. My supervisor has also never bothered me for the occasional flexibility, and one of the administrators even told me to go ahead and work however I want on the weekend, whether it is Saturday or Sunday.
You do punch a timeclock, but after I got used to it, it only has helped me as you actually make a bonus for lines/hour, which if you clock in an out say an hour at a time, you get can that pretty high.
There is a lot of ESL, but plenty of help and information to help you...
Please feel free to E if you need to...
Thanks.
a 1-hr window is NOT flexibility in my book.

Companies allowing window...
Thanks all for the responses
TRS allowed a 12-hour window to do
an 8-hour shift, at least they did last year. I only worked there a month, though.

Thank you so much for your information. I am really hoping it will be a good change. I just really want something that I like that I can stay with for the next 40+ years :)
MDI-MD has 24-hour window, SE status
No benefits but they hold out some taxes and you take care of the rest. They give you a 24-hour window to do a set amount of lines that you commit to ahead of time for that particular day. Extra work above that is usually allowed if you want to as long as your account isn't low.
Medscribe - 12-hour window
Anyone working for Medscribe? How strict are they about 12-hour window? What if you get a late start and need to work past the 12-hour window? Is that a problem? TIA!
