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.

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.
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.
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.
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
s
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
Doesn't seem to be a lot of others hiring part timers though
x
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.
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

Does Transtech require one weekend day to be worked for part-timers? Thanks!

Don't part-timers with Chronicle have to work the entire weekend? Saw in a recent ad. 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!
part time benefits-sm
Does anyone know a company that has benefits for part-time? I know they are rare, but I remember seeing some, but cannot find them now. I am not so much interested in insurance as PTO, 401K, etc.
I work part-time for them, so I cannot help you regarding benefits. sm
The pay scale seems a bit on the low side (I started at 0.0825), but you are an employee, so they take out taxes and such, which is a plus for me, and you can raise your rate of pay according to how many lines per hour you type. I do not have the tier right in front of me, but it is something like 150-170, add .015 per line; 171-215, .035; 216-230, .05; and so on. I type 300 LPH on my full-time job but cannot seem to average more than 250 at Webmedx, so not sure if it is the way they count lines, or maybe I am just not used to my account yet. The sound quality on some of the hospitals on my account is absolutely AWFUL, and no one seems to be addressing that, so that is a down side.
They have their own platform and supply the computers. Someone said you have the option of using your own computer, but when I asked, they said I had to use theirs, so I don't really know. I would much prefer mine, but I did get a switch so I only have to use one monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
They charge a $125 deposit for the computer, taken out in installments of $25 per pay period, refundable when you quit and return the computer.
The pay is direct deposit and always on time.
I know they have benefits such as medical, dental, and vision, and a 401k, but I do not know the details.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
if you don't need the benefits, i recommend part-time flex...
Part time flex requires 2,000 lines per week minimum, but you can do more if you like. You need to submit a schedule, but some production supervisors are flexible...mine is very flexible.
They do not provide equipment. Platform is DocQScribe and is great.
I have been with MQ for about 7 years, and they have been very good to me. I have great accounts but low work volume on them. Always seem to be overstaffed on my accounts, but that is why I have a backup with another company.
Good luck.
Deventure has never paid benefits to part time folks
Not sure what you are talking about, but there is no difference. Everyone I have spoken to is really excited about the merger with Transcend.
Are there any companies who offer health benefits to part time employees?
Need insurance.
My contract (was just recently hired for a new acct coming on) does not list any benefits for part-t
It only gives the requirements (as stated in my previous post) for full-time status for benefits. If they used to offer benefits, they are not offering them to new hires, at least that is my impression.
I wanna be you!!!!!!!!
nm
probably not what you wanna hear, but (sm)
MQ offers all that you are looking for. For employees, they provide equipment, pay half of your Internet or phone, whichever format you use, have reasonable benefits..though I do not get them-another story, fair pay-on time no less, regular raises, and steady work. I sound like a recruiter but I'm not, I'm just an MT who is very happy with MQ. My advice would be to give them a try, what have you got to lose? Good luck, whichever way you choose to go!
I'm not a disgruntled MT wanna-be. I'm
and she's a suspicious, condescending, controlling person. She doesn't like anyone she can't keep under thumb.
It's no different discussing her than discussing companies.
Go away if you don't like it, Laurie. We see your rose-colored glasses -- they have a fracture in the lenses, dear! LOL
Nah, but don't wanna name names. nm

wanna warn us on who that was? nm

You might wanna check with HR
I thought the same thing. I was told by HR there is a credit given to offset the difference.
wanna macro
Hi, If anyone has keyboard steps to set up a macro for speech to delete a period and replace it with a comma and one space instead of two, I'd love to hear from you. Also, the reverse would be good. I'd like to deleted the comma, place a period and have two spaces afterwards instead of one. I got the code on Productivity Talk from Ed Webber, but it was like reading Greek; I was lost! Or, it someone knows of a book I can purchase to learn to do these macros, that would be good too! Thanks to any who reply!
Ha, wanna hear something really funny
I left them for another job and then was going to get rehired part-time. They called me and said they couldn't rehire me part-time because they found out that the day I quit, I was actually going to be let go for not doing a good job! I said, what are you talking about, no one ever said anything to me. Then Lee sent me an email saying that it was a big mistake and never mind. Then the account I was going to go on was going to be starting up in a week, then a month, then I never heard another word from them! Then Karen called me quite a while later and said they had an account coming on and she would call me the next day to get set up. I said okay for the extra work. No call, ever. I decided that enough was enough and that things would never change. I see by current posts things still haven't! Ha. Go figure!
Also, I was quite offended as I have never been let go from anywhere and have never had a complaint about my work. But then I had to remember who the source was and just let it go.
Hey I wanna get padi more for less keystrokes!
you definitely wanna pick TransHealth
constant workflow. Good accounts. Good pay. GOOD PEOPLE.
Don't wanna run out of work? Beware of OSI's ad
They can't keep people on that clinic account because they are ALWAYS RUNNING OUT OF WORK since the work is offshored to India! 
JLG'ers wanna take a bet on which day checks
and the 10th is on a Friday ?? Maybe on the 15th??? Still no word on DD??
If you wanna hear from them, you gott BUG THEM!!!!
Send an e-mail to HR off the website... Do this daily until you hear from them.
I did take the test and sent in resume at same time though. I kept bugging them... I said I would like to know how I did on my test and if they received my resume and how I could not wait to work there....
Now I work there.
Do they still use DOS software with a dial-up modem? You don't wanna do that! nm
s
I don't wanna put words in the company's mouth
because I don't know if the insurance type/coverage varies from state to state or not. I have to provide insurance for both my husband and I (through DeVenture) and well, that does take a bite out of the ol' paycheck I must admit. However, when I was getting just coverage for myself, so long as I made 7000+ lines a week, they paid 90% of the cost, and that wasn't too shabbyof a deal at all.
Yeah, ya might wanna learn to read there.
Where did I say I didn't make my line count? Geeze, sure hope you're not an Editor with those eagle eyes there.
Seriously, name one thing I mentioned that's not true.
FYI, Spheris has MT formus where folks can discuss things amongst themselves. All of the issues I brought up have been bemoaned on the boards. Just passin' on the info, friend.
Lighten up.
You might wanna look down a ways. BrokeMT can't seem to get paid by them.
I'm pretty sure she is not going to recommend them.
