pay in the form of higher rates when you go over their required number of lines...not sure how it works exactly, but know that some companies do offer that.

I know. It seems like they could offer a little more incentive...sm
I understand and hear they are great, but how are they so great when they don't offer benefits?  I guess benefits isn't needed by everyone, but I think most by the majority...Wish we had some insight about them even considering to offer more for their employees.
I imagine they'd offer an incentive if everyone sm
was working her schedule and working extra hard in the first place. With excessive absences, it seems that not everyone is pulling her share. An incentive would entice the ones out of the woodwork who have been taking time off and who would get extra money for work they should have kept up with in the first place. (Bad sentence, but I'm in a hurry to get back to work--no time to edit.) I can work a half-hour extra each day, no problem. 30 minutes of time is not asking too much. At least this confirms no outsourcing, eh? WE are getting the work.

Relax, roll up your sleeves, grab some chocolate, and be loyal to this good company.

What companies offer FLEXIBLE schedules for

I think most companies offer direct deposit since they may
have MTs all over the U.S.  Some companies charge you for DD, some don't.  Some companies still mail checks, though will overnight it at your expense.   I think the companies that mail checks is a fairly small number.

What companies offer employee status?

I'm needing to get health insurance through work and wanted to know what companies offer this.  I'd prefer a company that required 1000 lines or less per shift if that is possible.  The line rate really isn't that important as my main concern would be a good family health plan. 


Any leads are appreciated!  Thanks.


Do any companies offer insurance that covers IVF? sm

Does anyone happen to know if any companies offer insurance that covers IVF?  I have been in this business for nearly a decade and have been doing QA for the last 4, but I would take a job right now with just about anyone as long as they offered insurance that covered IVF.  It is so expensive out of pocket, and I really need the coverage.  I have even been considering taking a job out of the transcription industry to get this coverage.  So, I guess if anyone knows anywhere at all I can get this coverage.. please help!!!  I am unfortunately in a state where this coverage is not mandated... so it is very hard to come by... :(


I am not sure if this was the right board... but I thought it was worth a shot... :P


Are there any companies that offer part-time
employee status?  I am looking to work certain days of the week, but I'd like part-time employee status?  Is there anyone that is currently in that type of situation that could steer me in the right direction?  I have a lot experience and am very reliable.  Thanks in advance for any help in this regard.  I appreciate my fellow MTs and their opinions count in my book. 
I asked for more than what I've seen other companies offer.
There was about a 2 second hesitation and then they said yes we can do that. 
Does anyone know of any good companies that offer IC status and little ASR?
I'm working for MQ right now as flexible part-time but thinking I want to go back to IC status.  I just have this feeling that things aren't going to be as flexible as they used to be.  That and I'm sick of all the ASR and getting paid crap!  Most of my work is ASR, I'm getting way more lines, but my paycheck is smaller!?!?!  Need flexibility and a decent paycheck!  Any input would be great from anybody!  I've worked only for MQ for 8 years and wondering if there would be anything better out there!
Any companies out there that offer the hospital benefits besides Diskriter
I currently work in-house a hospital but they do not have at-work positions and I would like ot work at home so I wondered if there were other companies and/hospitals that hire at-home MTs with full benefits....besides Diskriter as I have not heard a lot of good news about them and it makes me nervous to apply.
Are there any GOOD companies that offer IC status (and no weekends?) ??

I would really like to work a Monday through Friday job.  Plus, I prefer IC status.   Probably an impossible combo...


Thanks!


 


Yeah, and do any companies offer PTO for part time?
TIA
Can anyone recommend companies that offer IC status, part time?

Any good ones out there for IC's?  Part time?


Does Spheris offer IC status?


Any help appreciated!


Any companies offer QA/Editor jobs (employee status)
I currently work as an Editor (IC) for a company that pays a rather low hourly rate ($12). I can only be considered for an increase after working 6 months if I average 300+ lines an hour(to $14). Compound this with the fact that there is usually no work.

I find it impossible to do more than 300 lines an hour while providing feedback therefore, I will never get a raise! I am looking to work for a company as an employee who pays well (hourly) whether there is work or not. I'm very concerned about not having enough work to meet my financial obligations.
Are there ANY companies out there that actually offer decent family medical coverage??
Some are just downright ridiculous amounts. Right now, I am with a company that offers decent single coverage but the family is like $750 a month and I cannot just work for insurance. There has to be something left over to like....eat on... or pay bills. Any suggestions out there. I do have over 13 years of experience.
Any companies offer health insurance for part time?

Are there any companies out there that offer benefits to PT employees, such as health insurance?
I know it's a rarity but I know hospitals do.
Are there any companies who offer health benefits to part time employees?
Need insurance.
Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
Companies w/Escription accounts that offer affordable family insurance??
I realize that affordable is subjective so whatever information anyone can give woudl be appreciated. The majority of Escription accounts offer IC only. Thanks
Any companies offer part-timers chance to buy into group insurance? need coverage ....

I've been looking at prices for solo medical insurance and while I can probably afford some coverage, I'm feeling rather paranoid about having insurance canceled if I actually get sick -- I'm fairly ignorant about what protections may have been passed and may just be responding to other people's horror stories.


 


Anyway, I'm not entirely sure I want to work full time for any of the nationals ... they seem to have gotten awfully rigid wrt daily line counts within certain fixed hours ... some days I'm simply creaky and hate feeling pressured ... so part time to start seems more reasonable than jumping in with both feet.  Any infor or recommendations appreciated ... 


Thanks!


Which companies offer PTO for part time employee status, along with contributing 401K, shift....sm
differentials, and incentive based pay plan?  I think I covered it all.  Mostly looking for PTO as a part time employee.  Thanks for your replies.
Anyone know of Escription companies that offer IC status. I do not want employee status but would
like to stick with the Escription platform at all possible.
you only get incentive pay for
1200 on any given day. And it goes up fromthere, but stresses it is done on a DAY TO DAY basis, not pay period. So make them 8 hour days and cut out the short days. I know I don't like this either. You can make more on short days I think because your production stays up. But I know if I type 8 hours by hours 7 and 8 I am typing mush. Don'tthink of it as 8 hours if you are not full-time, think ofit as 1200 lines and over, however longit takes you to hit that.
As of Nov 1, the incentive on
straight MT has been done away with, no shift or weekend or holiday extras either, that is what I was told. 
Incentive pay
Are there any companies out there that offer incentive pay?
incentive
I was told that anything over 14,000 lines every 2 wks qualifies for incentive. (Edited lines count 1/2 of transcribed lines).
I'd rather have the incentive and the (sm)
opportunity to make more.  Plus TT offers good bonuses, and also have the QA incentive.  I don't think the line rate difference make that much of a difference in $$.
incentive
It was for the editing platform. I believe it is a one time deal to encourage people to improve their hourly editing line.

Check the company forum, there are posts about it there.
TT needs to do away with that QA incentive
LOTS of sloppy work in the archives when you search for reports that never saw the light of day in QA because of that stupid incentive - so people guess to keep the blanks below the required to send to QA. I'm slow and don't send much work to QA but if I'm not sure of a word I would rather blank it than type something wrong.

I smell lawsuits big time. Just wait.

I have been at TT for over 2 years and have never been audited. I was off QA in 3 days when I started and I have never heard another word from them. You would think they could at least audit somebody once a year. They get you off QA ASAP and forget all about you.

Where is the quality in this company?
QA incentive
I can only speak for myself when I say I have never guessed to avoid sending a report to QA. If I am not sure, I blank it. I listen over and over to try my best to get it. I would not take the chance of putting something erroneous in a medical record intentionally; I wouldn't want errors in my own medical records.
PT Incentive?
I work PT for Webmedx and I find the incentives very hard to reach. I think they are more for full-timers, personally and would love to see some offer for us part-timers.
PT incentive
Are you required to work a weekend day or can you choose to if you want?  Are they pretty flexible in their PT work? 
What is the incentive for OT with them? nm

No. I make incentive also.

holiday incentive pay
