I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time? I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to. If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info. Thanks!
Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
Saw this on their website.
MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm

I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it. I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that? I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life). Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything. I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family. At least my dogige understands. 
Full time/part time based on # hours or
# lines per pay period, nothing to do with quality. The lower the quality the higher the pay it seems.
Solution: Find another job, part time or full time.
Post your resume, hope for the best.
Depends on how flexible you need to be and if full-time or part-time
They are a little more flexible if you are part-time. Not so much full-time, where you can be a little flexible within the day (not a strict 8-5), but if you are scheduled for Monday, you have to work Monday unless you request off, and if you are scheduled for a Holiday, you have to work the holiday, unless you request off. They encourage you to clock out every time you are not typing to keep your lph rate up, which means an 8 hour day can turn into 12 hours at the computer. If they run out of work (which they do quite often), you have to make the time up. They are also leaning more towards Voice Recognition, so MTs are getting trained on that, but not sure what percent will go that way. It does affect how much work you may get though in the other accounts.
They are advertising for full time HIM now, do they still hire part time? nm

Question on MDI-MT full time vs. part time
Does anyone know how many lines per week or per pay period are required at MDI-MT to be considered full time? Thanks.
Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????
TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Full time is 40 hours, and yes they have part-time.
nm
Were you full time or part time?
I would like to get about 1500 lines a day in if possible - not possible? The pay seems good.
Not sure about part time but for full time you get SM
up to 12 hours to do a 7 hour shift. Webmedx requires 35 hours a week for full time, not 40.
Full Time vs. Part Time
Can anyone tell me how many minutes of dictation is considered to be full time? I do clinic dictation and am wondering if I am actually doing part-time work or full time?
I have a full time and part time job also. nm

part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience.
are you full or part time
If you are making at laest 20 an hour, this would have to be part-time, otherwise the numbers don't add up, should be at least 40K
Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
Thank you! I'm looking for part-time work to supplement my no-work full-time job.
Is there any difference between full and part time IC status at DSG?
Trying to narrow down my choices and make my decision. Thanks!
MDI-MD hires statutory employees, full or part time. sm
Their web site is www.mditrans.com. They pay well, always on time, direct deposit, and genuinely care about their employees. Good luck!
I applied and they told me no part-time.
I would, however, consider what you're talking about if they would allow it. Maybe I'll have to send an e-mail and find out which lead you are and if the information you are giving is correct. I still have the recruiter's e-mail. I can just copy and paste your post since you seem to have a lot of information regarding the re-structuring. I'll just ask the recruiter that e-mailed me if she would consider me for the new part-time positions that are coming in the next months. Maybe she'll have some feedback for me.
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
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.
No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
My thoughts exactly, why waste my time when you know you are only hiring full time? nm
nm
Full time but no work half the time-nm
nm
Yes I know they hire part time because I referred someone there for part time.
They are internet based.
From what I understand, the part-time positions will be only be for those that are already part-time
It is not a restructuring of the company, just of some of the existing part-time positions.
I know that there are a few employees who have been with Keystrokes for many, many years who are part-time and they will not displaced.
Other than that, there have been many discussions why there will not be any new part-time employees hired, and I really don't think they will back down on that.
per his request I told him Time To Call, he called Not That Time, emailed me

i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.

OSi with part time health insurance and paid time off
OSi does offer health insurance and paid time off for part time. Yes, there have been changes. Yes, there will probably be more changes. I don't see anywhere that hasn't had changes. If they don't change they will be out of business the way the economy is these days, just like some other companies. If they don't make money, then I don't make money. So, what is so different with OSi compared to other companies? I see complaints constantly about all companies. I don't think it is the fault of the company that they outsource or use voice recognition. It just is life on life's terms these days. There is still enough work for us, at least for me. 
Its holiday time. I just took a part time job at K-Mart and
it is really quite fun because I get to interact with humans and do not have to stare at a computer. My part time benefits included an employee discount on merchandise from day 1 of employment, can put that on lay-away, and if the item goes on sale before you pick it up, you get it at the sale price as well as with the discount. This is a Super K-Mart, and with kids this will really help with paying for their presents. It sure beats running out of work every day and wondering if I am going to have any money for gifts.
TRUST me when I say...It is not worth your time, even part-time..
I hired on with them part-time on or about September 8, kept getting run around as to when I was to actually start transcribing. Team lead emailed to say she had a very very good account for me to start on. I was trained 25 minutes. Then, there was an issue with my ID and password to get into the system. After about 2 weeks, got ID and password, but it didn't work. Then I get an email from another supervisor advising that I would be on another account and they seen the specs. So, I get an email some time around the first of October saying I can start typing. In the meantime, Focus has a MT Forum, and I'm reading all these negative remarks from the MTs stating a lack of communication company wide, to the terrible QA department being not all on the same page, and being deducted points for blanks and such. By this time, I was exhausted from waiting, and exhausted from hearing all the complaints from the MTs actually working there, that I sent an email to team lead saying, I had changed my mind about working there. This is the most chaotic, disorganized, miscommunicated place I have ever seen in my entire 32 years of being an MT. (If there are any errors in this forgive me. Don't feel like proofing this)
First, what kind of time frame are we talkin? 6000 lines in a week?
I ask because 6 cpl is horrible and if they expect you to produce 12,000 lines in a week in order to get 9 cpl, well that's just nuts.
But I digress, you original question was should you continue to work when you do not have access to your line count --> NO! And the fact that you are getting the run around should be sending up red flags.
Now you couple that with the 6 cpl and I would have to say this place you work at sucks!
Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm

As far as I know they only pay if you have AT&T. I'm full-time also and don't get anything fo
x
JLG does for full time.
They do not for part time though.
consider the MT already has a full-time job, though

Full time
Thanks for the info!
Can you tell me what they consider to be full-time? TIA nm

I do VR full time...
The best platform by far is Escription which is very productive. I was nervous about VR too but even with 50% pay per line I am making a lot more money overall. I do have some typing but the older the account is the better the VR is. Some notes i barely have to edit now. If I straight type I average around 200 lph (acute care) but on VR I do well over 500+. Escription learns indefinitely, so the longer the account has been there the better it is. I try to keep my lines per hour on VR at least above 250 which even on a brand new account has never been an issue, so I have made out. The typing break is great and I absolutely love it. If you have more specific questions, feel free to email me. (I am just an MT and not management for a company or anything like that.) 
For full-time
line count is 11,000 per pay period and for PT it is 5000. They're pretty reasonable on QA, not nearly as bad as other companies.
full time
full time pay scale for IC 3000 lines 7.5 cpl, 6000 9 cpl anything above 6000 is 10 cpl.
45K full time.

If and when you do go full time - please keep us
posted. I will be interested to see if it continues to be easily 250 lines per hour. Some companies take the good part timers and lure them into full time just to dump horrible dictators on them. Let us know if this happens to you.
Should have said this is a full-time
requirement. Part-time is much less.
Full time
A lot of foreign docs...
$900 = full time?
Can anyone explain how $900 equals full-time? Does everyone have the same line rate so that it takes everyone the same amount of time and sweat to get to the $900?. Thanks.
