PC provided; you pay 250 deposit, taken out of several pay checks. Refunded when you leave. Overall, I'm a happy camper, have been on board for about 8 years (back when they were Rodeer, then merged with Webmedx). Good benefits (medical, dental, life insurance, PTO and holidays). I like my manager and my accounts. I think it is a great place to work.

Yes they offer flex schedules
You have a 12 hour window to get in your daily scheduled hours.
We are told to flex our schedules to get lines/hours in. (sm)
No one is trying to steal work from other shifts, we are just trying to do our jobs. Obviously it is not our preference to work outside our hours but we all do what we have to do to make this work for right now.
Hopefully new accounts are in place now and things will level out.
Have a better day.
Recruiter really meant India gets the EASY accts

Guess we all can't be put on good accts. Gotta be there at the right time. Both of my accts.

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.
schedules
You do have to say what hours you will work. That's called J O B
We're finally making strides to become PROFESSIONALS who have deadlines and hours and expectations and stuff! Can you just imagine?
Seriously, you have to pick the hours you will work. Then you have to work them. You don't have to pick 8-4. You can pick 8, 10, 11, 7, 2.
Of course, they can tell you they need other coverage, I suppose.
Schedules
Yes, they are strict on the agreed upon schedule the transcriptionists obligate themselves to...they HAVE to be. TT is in business to provide their clients with quality reports in a time frame THEY have agreed upon. The reports cannot be delivered on time if the transcriptionists are cavalier in their work habits. I love working for TT. I can tell you another thing. Probably the only reason that Transcriptionist was written up was because she was consistently not working at her agreed upon time. TT have been wonderful to me. And yes, they HAVE been flexible, but I am on when I am supposed to be and provide a quality product for them.
Schedules?
I'm not sure what section of Focus you all work with. With all the discussion about schedules, etc., I'm wondering what I've been missing. I've been an employee for well over a year and have never been required to have a set schedule of any kind. I work whenever I want, as long as I put in a minimum of 20 hours per week.
ICs and schedules
The whole idea of being an IC is to NOT have to stick to a schedule. There are companies out there. I have to do a minimum of 5000 lines per pay period (which is 1st to 15th of the month and 16th to end of month) but on no schedule, just whenever I work as long as come date of invoice I have a minimum of 5000 lines. I know there are other companies out there that do the same. That is the way it should be for an IC.
Set schedules.
No flexibility.
No set schedules because....
They don't pay overtime  .
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 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 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.
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','');
Yes, I have to flex but that's my own choice
I draw from a pool of work; sometimes it's heavy. I also juggle 3 other accts on my own. I often flex all around due to my life, but if I were an employee, I'd have a big problem with no work available during my set schedule.
Have you considered an IC position? I know most require a set schedule these days, but obviously it doesn't work very well when the workflow cannot be controlled.
I've been doing this a long time and not one day for me has been just an even keel... it's the nature of the business I suppose. We can't control who gets sick when and if or how often they see the doctor or are admitted to the hospital. It's definitely a profession where you have to say enough is enough and that report can wait a bit until I take care of this or that.... good luck to U!
Flexible schedules
Amphion Medical Solutions: You can say you will work 5 hours a day, or 20 hours a week, but that is about as vague as they can tolerate. Contact HR@amphionmedical.com
No...they are really flexible with schedules..nm

What do you mean by downloading schedules?
The ones here who want to make their own schedules
should just spend their time doing something else besides working. You really sound immature wanting to call the shots on when you work. Hospital work is 24/7. If you don’t want to work on weekends or say you cannot work (UGH), stay home and take care of the kids. No princesses around here.
They do have some M-F schedules, but it depends on
what the needs of the client are and what time slots they have available when you apply. The recruiter is the one that will offer you a position and she will tell you what time slots they have available. You aren't supposed to change your schedule for 6 months.
I think there is 1 small rad but there is ER. Schedules....
You set your schedule but you are expected to be there when you say you are. However, they are great to work around doctor's appointments or other things that may come up. I have never had an issue not being able to get time off for anything.
As far as QA, they expect you to type what is dictated unless of course it is a gross medical error and then you blank and send to QA. You do not get dinged for sending work to QA. You also do not get dinged for punctuation. They do expect high quality.
That's because of the work schedules
Most of the MTs at MDI either work Sun-Thu or Tue-Sat. Therefore, more MTs are working Tue, Wed, Thu.
The problem is M-F schedules have
gone by the wayside for the most part. Seems like everyone is requiring at least 1 weekend day. I remember when I was at the Q (and this was years ago), we rotated weekends. This is unheard of now with most MTSOs.
No, but they have flexible schedules, so ask about

It looks like 2 different lists, 2 different schedules.
Schedule 3.13(a) hereto contains a complete and accurate list of all employees (including statutory employees) of the Company who for the year ending March 31, 2009 were paid annual aggregate compensation in excess of $35,000, showing the position, annual base salary and bonus potential for each such employee.
Purchaser shall continue the services of the employees of the Company following the Closing except for the individuals listed on Schedule 6.11 hereof who shall be terminated at or shortly following the Closing.
It appears that there are going to be some that are terminated at or following the closing. Is that tomorrow or January 1, 2010?
Transcend Pay day schedules
The thing I am going to hate most is the Transcend pay day schedule, twice a month instead of every 2 weeks. Just when I get my creditors settled into dates I pay my bills, I will have to revert back to having to go to the payday loan for money. Twice a month is too long between paydays. I have also used BeyondText before and it is antique compared to Bayscribe.
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.
no PTO for Flex PT. Yes, they provide equip. nm

Need PT Flex with 401K Matching
Does anyone know about any companies out there where I can still work PT and get matching or 1/2 matching contributions to a 401K? I have 10 years before official SS retirement.
Thanks for your info. I had considered doing PT flex with MQ (sm)
to sort of cover my bases, but I have such a good feeling about Webmedx and I want to go into the situation open minded and refreshed and free to put all my effort into the new position.
I too will be on the Enterprise side I think, at least I know I am using their computer.
Thanks again. Soon-to-be-coworker.
They are no longer hiring PT flex MTs. nm.
nm
No pay for downtime. You are asked to flex. NM
xx
12-hr flex for me too; definitely depends on your acct. sm
Average pay, nice bonus structure, good benefits. I like the platform and the people.
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.
I had to flex yesterday - some of my peaches (sm)
were ready so I made jam with my down time. Well worth it to me yesterday.
If by flex, you mean jumping through hoops,
yes, I flex. I wouldn't have any work otherwise. It is all on their terms if I want to get a paycheck.
Not when you have to flex several times a week
That's not a 2-way street.
How were the schedules set up? Shifts? Flexibility? Thanks! nm
xxxxxx
Are they extremely strict with schedules? nm

Thanks! One more question...are they flexible with regards to schedules?sm
I mean do they have a strict Su-Th or Tu-Sa schedule? Thanks again..
