Sounds too controlling for my taste.

Do they hire for one specific work type, say OP notes? nm

Does alltype only hire in specific states?
I ask this because the ad states benefits in only certain states. Does anyone know?
It's not rocket science - you need specific hours = hire an employee (sm)
You need a specific TAT but not specific hours = hire an IC. The IRS, each state's Workers' Comp laws and so forth make it VERY clear about what determines an IC and what determines an employee. If a company needs someone from 4:00-8:00 p.m. Mon-Fri, then that is a part-time employee, and in some states automatically a benefited employee.
For example, if you need a housekeeper or nanny for specific hours, that person becomes an employee. I vaguely remember a politician getting in trouble for this a few years back - not paying taxes, etc. for a nanny, by calling her an IC when in fact she was an employee.
I agree, I think it's probably account specific.
On both my accounts I log directly into the facility system, so if that account were to want coverage for particular hours, then I think that's probably what KS tries to provide. Luckily my two don't care so long as the work gets done and they stay in turnaround.
yes, but you get hired on a specific account (nm)

Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm

Remember though, when they staff for new account they have to hire more than they need (sm)
because some won't stay, some won't be decent producers, etc. I am sure the balancing act of how many people to do how many lines is a chore. They were up front with me when I interviewed about times of the day they were most apt to run out/low. I can flex with that if they can flex with me.
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
I am part and I do work specific hours and
unless we have tornado warnings, lightning and such, I am usually at my desk working away. I really hate to see someone ask about trying to find a company to fit in with their schedules. Most companies do not try, never have and probably never will, to fit in with our schedules. I feel the person writing such is very naïve and has not been in the work force very long.
But is it against the law to state ICs work specific hours or days?

Employees work a specific shift at TransTech?
Or do you just have to commit to a certain number of lines per day? An an IC with my current company, I commit to X number of lines per day, and as long as I get them done within 24 hours, I've met my commitment. Don't want shift work, i.e. 7-3, 3-11, 11-7. There is absolutely no flexibility in that. Noticed in post before this that Diskriter requires a shift commitment or a split shift.
I work at etrans. Would recommend them. Specific questions - email me... nm

Because people only want specific work types, easy dictators and certain hours...
That is why some people find a shortage of work, while others find an abundance. I cannot believe these last few threads and the vitriole of some of your responses. Any time a company is mentioned, any company, there are always a bunch of negative responses.
Maybe you all should check within yourselves to find out why you do not have enough work.
I happen to work for a company that is being negatively mentioned in these posts, and I am extremely happy. They may offshore, but they treat me very well, are communicative and I have never missed a paycheck. I also will do any work types, ESL, and will help out extra when asked. This is one of my first times on this board and I probably will not be back.
Then when we MT's are **thrown on** an account because of lack of work on our account
What is so hard to understand about that?
Then we have that account info filed away in a folder in our Outlook Express by name of account and can look at past emails sent out regarding that account. Not fun to be tossed on an account that you have never seen NOR ever received an email on. Sounds like business to me.
My account has lots of work..ask for another account/nm

When you hire on and run out of work --
I hired on as a part-time MT for 2 different places. After my training, the first few days went okay. Then, I hit a snag. The first place I signed onto had no work - or at least started sending the e-mails about flexing our hours due to light workload, blah, blah.
I replied with my resignation stating that I simply could not afford to wait around while they tried to find work - they knew when I agreed to work and I expected to have it - I already had another part-time position and thank you very much.
Amazingly enough, I had a phone call and work within about 15 minutes and hadn' thad a problem since.
It's a gamble, true. Could backfire, true. I was, however, as prepared as I said I was and felt that if I tolerated even one day of the low/no work without letting them know how serious I was, it would just feed a lax attitude from the company toward keeping me supplied with work.
Anywho, just thought some of you may benefit from my experience.
I work M-F only. They can hire
PTers to do weekends like they've always done for years and years. I don't like this new trend of Su-Th/Tu-Sa. It's completely unnecessary when there are so many out there looking for PT weekend work.
Does Transtech hire to work on VR?
I am so SICK of VR I'm jumping ship.
I'd like to know too as we can seem to keep steady work, yet we are always trying to hire more.
If someone knows why they keep hiring more people, let us know. All I can think of is that the MTs they have keep quitting due to the lack of work, it's a vicious cycle. Somedays, they holler for help, you get in there and work hard, and then the next thing you know, we're out of work. I say STOP HIRING and let the MTs you have who want and need the work to do just that. I'm so sick of the feast or famine concept there. I'm job hunting. This stinks. They obviously advertise because they cant keep good help. That's my guess!!!
Which companies hire for VR work?
I would like to go back to doing VR work. I think I am more productive with it. Who is hiring for VR work, are they good companies, and do you feel more productive doing VR versus straight typing? Thanks
Work here now, wouldn't hire on here now
I work for Spheris now and am doing okay, but I wouldn't hire on here now as I don't think I would get the deal I have now. Also with speech recognition I have to wonder if the workload will be enough for the employees we have now. Most of the good work goes to India and I would never work for another company again that sends work out of the country.
Insurance is crappy and expensive.
This is a marginal company to work for if you are already here but not something I would sign up for if I were looking for a job now.
it's not illegal to look for an IC that will work when THEY NEED THEM to. Why hire someone to wo
it's not illegal to look for an IC that will work when THEY NEED THEM to. Why hire someone to work morning when you need nights for example.
Why hire someone to paint your house blue when you wanted orange?
Why hire a male stripper when you wanted a female stripper?
If you need someone for certain hours, you can request that person or IC to work those hours or not get work. Simple as 1-2-3.
Why would transcend hire? There is no work now.

This was longer ago than that and they were able to hire New Yorkers. I don't work there, either.

Does WMX hire PT and/or offer clinic work? nm

I have seen many companies who want to hire OP people to work from home!

I wonder if they hire US MTs on new accounts and then get rid of them and send the work to India
after it goes through SR or something and the system learns from the US MTs.
Does MedScribe in Florida do clinic work and/or hire

Can anyone tell me if Administrative Assistants is a good company to work for and if they hire IC
or employees.
Are there any companies that hire emp status and let you work sort of a split?
I would like to work 6 hours during the day while kids are in school and then about 2 hours in the evening. Are there companies that will allow this? Do they have affordable benefits?
In my state, if they hire you full time, then do not provide the work you can draw unemployment -
You would have to talk to someone in your state, but I was able to draw partial unemployment while still working in Georgia. I had to report in each week how much I made and they gave me partial benefits. To qualify, you had to have been hired full time.
Maybe is it for a particular account. I work M-F. You are required to work one weekend an month.
a
I used to work there and know people who still do...they have no work on clinic account but if you
are acute care or have experience in acute care you will be fine...
I work for them, have no problems with the account/work - sm
New insurance plan went into effect - I think it is really good, but that's just my opinion. They send you the equipment. They have incentive. I like it. Can't complain.
What account do you work?
/
Do you work on a VA account? nm
.
Could be the account too, I don't know how they work out their pay...
but maybe it could be based on whatever the account is willing to pay. Not sure!
What account do you work on? My
accounts are rarely out of work.
you must be on the same account I am on. Not enough work
Not making enough money for family.
Don't see how we can be out of work when new account
to protect them, but what about us MT's waiting for work. Interesting when I hit my 3-month anniversary with TransTech, my work disappeared. I am not sure what to think of TT at this time ... No matter how nice someone is -- supervisor, office staff, etc.), if there is no work, WORK is what pays my bills.
So do you work the ER account or
do you work their acute care accounts. He said that the pay is figured differently and that there is no 12-hour window with ER because of the require TAT.
I am just looking for a permanent home where I can stay, instead of signing on and then finding that the line requirement is impossible because there are so many residents, PAs, NPs, and ESLs who are not organized, so leave huge blank areas on the audio or they are constantly saying go back and change, go back and add, etc, that your production is shot. Get a great audio minute count, but they never seem to look at that.
I have a lot of work. I was going to say that maybe it was just your account, but your on 7?? WOW..
I would double check that something funky isnt going on with your work queue. Maybe, it's not opened up all the way you get different work types etc.
I don't work on that particular account but . . SM
right now work is slow on every account.
Wonder if you work on a different account? NM
sssssss
I work that account. It isn't all that bad. sm
I've had worse too.
Any KS on account out of work (sm)
Does that happen very often?
I work for MQ and have 1 ER account. I did
400 lines in one hour last night, straight transcribing, no speech recognition. Unfortunately, it's only an overflow account. When I do my regular 2 accounts, horrible, crappy teaching hospitals with idiot residents who rotate out every 3 months and are replaced with a new group of idiots, I only do about 175 lph. I love ER.
I work on there (if it is the same account). sm
I have been with KS a few years now and this is a great account IMO. Contact JW directly, as she is the lead, and she can help you. If not, call Becky at the office as she is over all the leads.
I'm looking for an account I used to work on.
Is it okay to ask about a specific account on this forum? A couple of years ago, I worked for a known transcription company who serviced an account that I really loved, but I understand that company no longer has the account. Now that I'm looking to get back into transcription, I would love to return to that account--but I don't know the transcription company who has the account at this time. I'm sure some of you must work on it, but is it okay to specifically name a particular hospital/clinic here? TIA.
I am on that account and you can work more than that. sm
Also, they raise your pay on there quickly!
There's no work on the account I'm on,
a backup twice and no answer twice. Luckily (or not) I don't have much of a life and can take 12 hours plus to get my lines in and end up making pretty good money.
Other than that, I'm satisfied working for them, although I've only been there 2 months. Is there a holiday differential? I don't recall hearing anything about that?
