flex time
Sometimes when it is slow in the morning, I e-mail the office and flex my hours to work a few hours in the evening depending on what my plans are. I have found the work ALWAYS picks up later in the afternoon. I know this doesn't work for everybody, but I always manage to get more than my minimum by being flexible when I can be.
Flex time
Am looking to slow down, does flex time even exist anymore or per diem ? Would appreciate any input, looking to do approximately 10 - ? hrs a week to keep up skills.
Flex time
Flex time as we once knew it no longer exists at the co I work for. The only time flex time comes into play is when you've had OT earlier in the week and on Friday you are asked to flex off your OT hours...sign out early so they don't have to pay you OT. We can sometimes flex our time to get in our 8 hours for power outages, electrical storms, etc. Otherwise, strictly assigned hours.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Is it a given you can flex and make up time or (sm)
do you have to have specific permission from your supervisor? I know when I worked for MQ it was always designated when you could and couldn't make up time.
Flex time? Can you tell me how that works? nm
,
Do you find you have to flex time too much?
I do sometimes. I picked a set schedule with my company for a reason, and I have a life outside of medical transcription. I don't think companies get that sometimes.
Okay. Flex your time. Change your schedule if necessary. sm
If you have been in this business any length of time, you should know how work volumes fluctuate, especially around the holidays.
By flex your time, do you mean the window they give you (sm)
or something else? I can't even get the hours in during the window for running out of work. Do you just mean make up time during the week? thanks.
Does Medquist's part time flex
allow you to work any hours you want or are you tied to a schedule? I am thinking of applying for extra money. I am a little leery of the pool, but thought I might try it if need be. I know many people don't like MQ based on what I read on this board, but think there must still be something decent about them since so many people still do work there. Thanks you in advance for any information.
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.
Questions about Medquist Flex Part-time
if you are flexible part-time and also do they allow any time off with pay or do you just take that time off without pay? Thank you! 
Flex time requires a schedule. Crazy huh?
There is nothing to like about MQ at this point in time. So many people work there because the company needs people but the turnover of people is pretty significant. Be very leery of the pool. It is murky and will not allow you to make money because in that pool are thousands of client profiles you must read to see how to format the report before you can even begin to transcribe and make money. After you read this client profile, you may not see the client again for weeks which was a waste of your time. The speech recognition program is the worst requiring many corrections at a reduced rate of transcribed reports. No one can make real money with the disadvantages MQ gives you to worQ with.
Any bigger companies out there that do 10+ hours flex time?
I'm looking for a job to supplement my income on top of my full-time MT job, but really need one that allows me to log on at any time throughout the week and do, say, 2,000 lines a week or 10 hours a week or something like that.
Are there any companies out there that still offer this or is it too much to hope for? Anyone have a company they would like to recommend? Thanks.
I am able to get my lines/hours in as long as I flex a little within my time window. (sm)
Are you hiring on now or just looking?
Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm

Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
Saw this on their website.
My thoughts exactly, why waste my time when you know you are only hiring full time? nm

Is Spheris hiring?
im really considering taking the Career Step course wishing i will get hired by spheris. although i checked their site and their last post for a transcriptionsist graduate was in march 2008. has a recent career step grad been hired by them recently? does anyone have an insider scoop? thanks
is Spheris hiring?
I left there 3 months ago after 2 years of declining income and a platform change that wasn't for the better... they left a message on my phone asking me to come back to work for them I called back to get details but no one has returned the call. Have there been any changes for the better? Or have they lost so many people they are trying to get them back? It would have to be some great deal for me to consider it.
Spheris hiring?
A friend and I have both applied, and nothing--no response at all, not even thanks for the application. ??
They seem to be hiring all the time.
Must be hard to keep good help these days. I sent my resume in a few weeks ago and never heard back.
they do but as of their last job ad they were only hiring full-time...

Anybody hiring part time ER? sm
Does anybody know of any hospitals or transcription companies who are hiring for part-time ER work on eScription? I have been doing eS for 5 years and have my Advanced certification in EditScript and am looking for an additional account. It needs to be a flexible position because I have another commitment. If anyone has any leads with decent pay, please feel free to send me a confidential email. Thanks!
A company would not go through the expense and time of hiring you only to not
contact you. This smells fishy. It is not the first time you have said this but it does not sound right.
Any companies hiring part-time?
I need flexibility. Willing to do a certain number of lines every pay period. I started with MedScribe of NJ and already they run out of work and seem to be dodging my emails about a secondary account. Afraid I made a bad choice.....
TransTech - they are hiring now, good time
....
Anybody hiring for part-time ER within a window instead of set hours? TIA. NM

Yes, they are now hiring part-time MT's but only where absolutely needed. sm
They tried going to FT only but decided that was eliminating some good/great MT's.
I was told that the reason they were trying to only have FT MT's was that if someone worked FT for a different company and PT for them, they were burned often when the other company needed OT or schedule changes and that the KS lead MT's were left without coverage.
I started FT and went PT for family reasons and do not work for another company. I hope to go FT again in the future, but they worked with me to find a schedule that worked with my situation.
Who is hiring part-time for ER, ortho, clinic dictation? sm
I have over 14 years experience. I love doing orthopedics, ER notes, and clinic dictation. Does anyone know of a company who is currently hiring for PT work right now? I am looking for a company that you don't have to spend weeks and weeks filling out paperwork, calling back and forth, waiting, waiting and waiting to begin work. I am very dependable, hard-working. Looking for someone that can respect that in this day and time. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Caught that. Thx! Something about competition clauses at the time kept them from hiring in NY state.

Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AT SPHERIS!
Spheris is not MT friendly. Having worked there in the past for 3 years (and having had the good sense to get out), I know first hand how they handle things, like a 3-ring circus. It is a wonder they haven't gone out of business because they are losing all their accounts and their people, from what I hear. A few of their supervisors are vicious backstabbers and have a tendency to run good people off, but I guess that could happen anywhere. Spheris likes to buy out the little companies and put all their people in important places and goodbye to the rest of you little people. If you are planning to go to work there, please don't let me influence you in a negative way; however, I do hope you prepare yourself to work in at least 6 accounts on a daily basis after the first month or so.
Does anyone know what part-time Spheris
Now, that is the first fact I have seen about Spheris in quite some time. nm
.
Spheris off-shores big-time
It started around 2004-2005. They call it their Follow the Sun strategy, i.e., the Indians are in a different time zone than US MTs. Also going to all speech rec/VR.
Try telling Spheris instead of wasting your time with us
You dont have to explain anything to anyone on here. I would take these great points that you have had and tell them that you are in the process of looking for another job and maybe that will scare them into giving you a raise.
Telling about it on here really wont do anything unless you talk to Spheris about it.
Good luck! It does look like you deserve a raise, but I think most of us do too.
Going from MQ at this point in time to Spheris is like jumping from the sm
frying pain into the fire. Don't go there!!!!!!!
Any Spheris employees notice a drop in PTO time? SM
Before we got 4 PTO hours a paycheck, now is seems to be 3.38. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.
spheris has a hard time paying their referral bonuses as well.
Spheris has a hard time paying for referrals too...just put you in a drawing for some prize. if you win, great if not, then who cares.
Synernet test? I get Synernet Transcription is not hiring at this time. Anyone else?

flex
thanks for your help. I don't have kids either or another job, but from time to time an emergency has come up but my present job seems to frown on it even though I usually make the time up or use PTO, and plus I like to stretch my legs that might not be on a scheduled break but still very much needed once again. Thanks!
They do have a flex
You have a 12 hour window to return work, and also for some of the clinic and acute care positions they do offer M-F positions. They did ask for a preferred schedule because I am interested in employee status and not IC. I'm looking for a position that has healthcare benefits and the cost at MedScribe is fair. They also have a bonus plan. I am testing with them now.
Not all of them. The one that I am on is flex.

You could flex or PT on the IC...SM
job, since as an IC, they cannot hold you to a schedule or line count. You can see how the IC account, the one you want, holds up until you throw in the first job. To pass muster, the new job should: A) provide you with enough work, and B) provide you with good, honest communication between yourself and mgmt. The bottom line is, which company will give you the bigger bang for your buck, ie, better decision money-wise. Good luck on your decision.
Are they willing to flex for you whenever you need it
Or are they one of those who make you stick to a schedule when it's convenient for them?
My company's great about me flexing, which is why I don't mind flexing for them when needed. I understand not everyone has such flexibility, though I wish we all did.
you should consider returning PT flex....
if you get cesspool, sign off. If you get your accounts stay on. It is not too hard to get 2000 lines per week. You could probably manage it on the weekend when work volume is higher.
My work pools have improved over the last month or so. I get my primary, secondary, and then accounts from my PS's BOB. Usually I sign off when my primary and secondary are finished.
Thanks for the info! I'm already PT-Flex
with MQ so probably would do both for a while. My only problem with MDI would be 5 days a week as I do have something else going on. I work four 5-hour days now and it works great for me. I'm going to call MDI today. Good luck to you!
Flex e-mail
Well, I actually AM an employee, but I haven't seen any e-mail about flexing. This is why I was asking. Maybe it went to the other IDC loop. Sorry that I asked.
That's no big deal. Flex if you must.
I, for one, hate to work on a Monday, and find it great if I can flex that day. There is so much I need to do on a Monday, so it falls right into my schedule.
Usually it only happens at the end of the pay period, not every Monday, but don't complain about it unless you want to change your schedule.Then talk to someone about it. I flex all the time if necessary.
