Isn't it against the law for a company to ask you NOT to document your OT hours?

That alone would be a huge red flag for me. They want you to work OT, but not document it on your timesheet! That smells fishy!

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!
My company goes by lines instead of hours.
5000 lines every two weeks.
A company cannot dictate your hours if
you are an IC. If you are an employee, they can!
If a company has shift hours specified .....
that are non negotiable, doesn't that make you an employee, rather than an IC?
Posting on the job board is curiously worded.
If a company requires a set number of hours,
production, or schedule then they cannot classify the MT as an IC and the MT cannot say she is an IC per IRS. They are to be treated as an employee, PT or FT, whatever the case may be.
A company/MTSO can offer an IC a job working certain hours
that they need coverage, and it's up to the IC to agree to working those hours, or not take the job.
If you hired an IC to repair your roof, would you want him working daylight hours, or since he's an IC can he work on the roof from midnite to 8 a.m. if he wants?
Alt T then Alt W while in a document. sm
This gives you characters, including spaces; add together and divide by 65 for # of lines. I put this # on my log. I can then double check with session statistics at the end of the day if I want.
Glad you like it!
Only require 400 lines completed within 24 hours....good company...

Left end of July for a company paying more and I set my own hours. Much less stress too. (nm)

AB Document Services?
Does anybody have any current information on this company that is in Arizona (work load, etc.)?
TIA!
If you're in a VR document, even if it's
so bad that you have to retype entire paragraphs, it's still considered VR -- if that's what you're asking. When people refer to switching between VR and straight typing, they are referring to entire reports, some of which you type from scratch and some of which you deal with what VR has vomited out. Good luck to you.
same lines as word document
The only thing you dont get paid for is the ADT screen, which takes me about 2 seconds to hit the search, date and cc. I really dont care about not getting paid for ADT because it doesn't take any time at all to do this. The document itself always comes out the same line count as word. I think the benefit for this program outweighs not getting paid for ADT at least for me. I also have 2 IC accounts on the side. Their programs are time consuming in figuring out codes, and then saving and sending it in a different format... plus dr. lists manual insert. Another thing on one account you have to email the person every time to get more work so it doesnt flow like DQS. So I think DQS is the most user friendly program I've used. When you copy and paste DQS to word its always been exactly the same lines for me and also the red headings you are paid for.
If I figured on the same document why would this matter?

Mine post soon as document is sent
The longest delay I've ever had was about 30 seconds.
doing only a 'spell check' on a VR document
without reading and correcting the whole document, line by line, will NEVER work!
Now I understand! That's the way the editing MTs do it when getting the high line count?
Wow!
On second thought, maybe I should try it out!!!
You are supposed to document discrepancies in a QA note...
of course, doing so will take you over your 15% max of QA referrals, but what the hey...
This isn't a medical document, editor. Focus. :)

It appears to do only the document you are in. As I trust my co. to tally for me, I don't know m
about the function. You might be able to write a macro to do that...but I have no idea how to do that.
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
mine post immediately as soon as I end the document.

446 lines in 30 minutes? What does your document look like? Same as before your editing?..nm

Think they're Integrated Document Solutions. Someone asked about them last month. nm
s
Had to toggle between many screens, no support or qa to speak ofl they dock $10 per document
;p
go to Tools -> Word Count in open document and values will show. nm
nm
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
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.
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.
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.
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
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.
MDI-FL. Approximately 7 hours a month x12 months =84 hours
And your PTO acrues from day 1. You are just unable to utilize it until after 90 days. They have excellent benefits.
You can have insurance at 30 hours with Encompass, 32 hours with eTransPlus. nm
Part & Full Time Data Entry & Document Coding Position - Sara McDaniel - HR Administrator
This company has ads on other web sites. You have to pay them $55 to do a background check up front. Guess what? If you don't get hired, they've got your $55. Don't know if it's legit - just posting facts.
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.

You do not get PTO for 16 hours a week. 24 hours or more for the PTO. nm
:
That's exactly what I was going to say. Yes, I work at least 12 hours a day, sometimes 15 hours
to get all of my line count in because I have so many interruptions in my day. There is no way I would tell my company this nor expect them to pay me OT that they never asked you to do. Unless, I was called by my supervisor and asked to work extra for OT, I would never just take it upon myself to work and expect to be paid. If you were not authorized to work OT, then your not getting paid. Point blank. I do not work at TT, but I have worked at enough jobs, at home as an MT and otherwise outside of home, that all have the same policy, your paid OT when your asked to work it. It's it is just a case of not being able to get your required line count in 8 hours, then maybe your in the wrong profession or possibly just the wrong company/account for you. This just seems bizarre to me. Just tell yourself, your not getting paid for OT because they aren't approving it so don't work it. Again, if you were asked to work OT, told it would be OT, and then they ask you not to record it, I'd pitch a fit, but from what I see, you've done this on your own.
? 13.33 for 3 hours ($4.44 hours) am I doing it right. Geez!!!!!i
.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
40 hours
Well, I was told that since I am a new grad that I would need to work a 40-hour schedule so I can get "up to speed." They are flexible with the schedule, but I do have to let them know ahead of time when I will be working and stick to it.
hours
That's not what I was told. I even have to let them know at least 24 hours in advance if I change my hours for the day. BTW, I am a newbie. Since I am on 100% QA, this may be part of the reason.
She said IC must be 20 hours
I was saying that I hope not for IC to maintain 20 hours. I was told 4,000 lines. I was also told there currently is no part time so if you have a 20 hour part time position, which office?
I do realize that this is going to change with the new package as far as adding a part time position. However I was told last winter that there was only full time = 40 hours or SE/IC = 4,000 lines per pay period.
hours
I don't see ANY mention of those types of hours. I received a "Plan Form" which has a chart with 24 hours and 7 days in it. You mark which hours you will work. You don't even have to do consecutive hours.
My information states that full time with benefits is 39 hours per 7 days requiring production of 150 lines per hour.
Full time with limited benefits is 39 hours per 7 days, averaging 100 lines per hour.
Part time is minimum of 8 hours, but less than 39 per 7 days, requiring a minimum of 100 lines per hour.
This affords the Transcriptionist much more flexibility than the current methods.
hours
I've gone over my information several times and see nothing about 8, 16, 24, etc.
I see a grid that says and I quote: "Please place an "X" in the appropriate boxes to indicate your preferred schedule including your daliy and weekly total hours in the chart below." There is then a grid with 24 hours, 7 days.
I'm going to keep looking for the 8, 16, 24 -- perhaps its in the employee handbook which, interestingly, is from 2003 so I'm not sure it reflects these changes. That's curious.
48 HOURS??
FIRST POST, 10-11
LAST POST, 10-12
ISN'T THAT 24 HOURS TOPS?
getting in 8 hours
I have worked for Webmedx for a couple years now and can so totally relate to what you're saying. It is very hard to get in a full 8 hours. What I do is spread out my work week over 6 days and work a little less each day, but it still seems like I'm always struggling to get in the full amount of hours.
My line count has varied quite a bit but now that I'm FINALLY working mostly on just one account I can get close to 250 if I really focus. It is really a balance that you have to figure out what's going to be best for you as far as clocking out or not. If you really want a kick-butt line count you probably will have to clock out for every little thing. If you want your line count to be average or slightly better than average, after a while you'll be able to take a few breaks without clocking out.
When I do that my line count goes down to more like 180 as opposed to 200+.
IC hours
I am looking for a full-time IC that can have work assigned in a.m. and returned 24 hours later. Work day or night as long as completed work is to me at 24-hour deadline.
3.385 hours per pay
I keep track of it myself.
10 hours
I agree. I swear sometimes I feel like I am typing my fingers to the bone and one night I tested it. It took me 10-1/2 hours to get 1000 lines.
What hours are you looking for?
