No time clock, but have to keep schedule. Not extremely strict, flexible.

Any companies out there where you do not have to fill in a time sheet or on a time clock?
I would like to do my lines and be done, and still get my benefits. Any companies out there that go by line production rather than hours to qualify for bennies?
No, not a time clock. You just fill out a time sheet sm
with your days and times and lines and email it every 2 weeks.
It really seems to be a great place to work so far -- the people are great and the work has not run out. I have been paid more, but then again, I am an employee and have benefits and do not have to mess with that tax hassle anymore, so I'm happy.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
Time clock
I just recently started with them and so far it has not been a problem for me at all. I have kids as well and was worried about that too. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions. 
PTO/time clock
PTO is lower than average per pay period. Clocking in and out is a pain. It does take a long time to get in your 8 hours. Nice people. Lots of ESL.
No time clock
You just enter in your line counts each day on the employee intranet and submit them at the end of the pay period. I don't really even have a set schedule, but I tend to work afternoons and evenings. I have 2 ER accounts and bounce between the 2 and make excellent lines. My accounts are both internet-based, so I don't have to have unlimited long distance service. I couldn't imagine working someplace where you had to punch a time clock! That would drive me crazy!
time clock
We do not have to punch a time clock at DeVenture. That is why I accepted a position with them.
Other companies with time clock? Thanks. nm
? re WebMedX time clock, please. sm
Are they picky that you must punch in to the minute you are scheduled, or are they flexible that they just want you to punch in when you work, not necessarily to the minute of your schedule?
I'm not sure I can go back to a time clock either. I don't have a problem punching when I work, I just have a problem sticking to a very specfic schedule.
Webmedx Time clock
Is the Time Clock for Webmedx really all that bad? They seem good otherwise - just concerned about working at home w/toddler on that type of strict time clock...
Webmedx ??- Time Clock/PTO
I thought I read somewhere that at Webmedx you have to punch in and out for such things as looking up a medical term or using the restroom; is this the case? Also, I know they get 6 holidays, but is there any vacation time or sick time during the first year or 2? Any info appreciated as it sounds like a great place. THANKS!
Does Wedmedx have a time clock? nm

and the question about the time clock,
that should have been a yes or no answer -- but a whole paragraph that left me still not knowing the answer, and BTW, THAT was an important one for me.
Regarding Time Clock at Transcend...
I saw some of you asking downthread about how schedules work at Transcend.
Please note this could have changed since I was hired, or the MDI-ers may be getting a different set of rules regarding this, but barring those two things:
You're expected to work an 8-hour day with one weekend day. I was allowed to choose the shift I would work (say 9a to 5p) when first hired, but after you choose you have to stick to that schedule. I believe you are allowed to choose a split shift (say 4a to 8a and then 4p to 8p, etc), but once you give them the schedule you've chosen, that's what you have to work.
To be fair, I do think they're somewhat flexible in terms of emergencies or things planned ahead of time - if you'd rather work 8a to 4p for a couple of days, for example, you won't get too much static from your TL if you inform them ahead of time.
However, you can NOT commit to a certain amount of lines per 24 hour period and do them anytime within that time frame, the old school IC way. You have to have a set schedule of hours and work those hours for the most part.
What are you talking about time clock?
I have worked for Transcend for 5 years since the MDI-FL merger and there is no time clock. Where did you guys get that idea?
Time clock isn't bad. You quickly get used to it. No big deal. sm
I find them pretty flexible, but you do have to work your total required hours.
There's no time clock but the leads monitor who is on and who isn't. sm
The account I am on has very strict shifts because of being radiology. I have heard that others are more flexible.
I dont have a problem with the time clock. sm
Actually I don't have any trouble getting in my time; I have a 38-hour schedule and put in probably 39 hours of clock-in time to get that. The thing is - you need to clock out when you do research or if you are surfing the 'net; otherwise it brings down your LPH average. I have a 12-hour window in which to get my time and my manager NEVER bugs me about when in that 12-hour period I am working.
I've no experience of a time clock either.
I think perhaps they mean the requirement to be assigned a set shift and stick to it.
But there's nothing remotely resembling a time clock... we just sign onto our platform and dive right in.
As an ex-TRS employee I still have the instant messenger, and I do sign into that when I'm working, but it's not a requirement; it's more of a courtesy to our co-workers, so we know who's around, especially if we need to ask a question.
My first day on the job at TRS I instant-messaged my supervisor and said do I have to sign in or let somebody know I'm here, and she said no, just log onto the platform and start working.
Of course, if they really want to track our logged-in time, the platform can keep track of all that.
But again... no, there's no time clock per se, nothing even close.
Need help with Webmedx's time clock. I am contemplating a position sm
with them and right now I have to clock in and out and hate it. I wonder if I'm jumping right back into the same situation as I was told they, too, have a time clock. After being an IC for so many years, I really hate this.
So, how is it? Do you find that Webmex is a little flexible at least? I just don't know if I should keep looking or what. Thanks so much for anyone with experience with their time clocks!
Yes, time clock. No insurance or any benefits for parttime.

I'm with you on the Wedmedx time clock. Not sure it would work out for me...too many distruptions
my day to clock in and clock out for every little thing. Thanks..
Anyone use TimeTrax as a time clock? Easy, hard,

Any input, time clock, expander program, LPH, etc.?
Hi,
Curious about the platform used, LPH or weekly requirement, timeclock or timesheet, sound quality, work types. Do you get your preferred work types. Are you on only one primary account with backups, working primary mostly? Is ShortHand compatible?
Thanks for any info.
How many companies do not require you to fill out a time clock? NM
Thanks.
MDI-MD has a 24-hour window, no time clock to punch

I agree, the nonanswer about time clock was important to me too. NM
independent MTSO; freedom without a time clock and as the others said, same docs. nm
;
There is a time clock, but LPH is easy to achieve and bonus is not done by that any longer. SM
Much better than E-time, if that's what the Evil Q still uses. No worries.
I know Webmedx has a time clock - with MQ I put laundry in, got coffee, loaded DW (sm)
went to the bathroom, etc. without clocking out and still kept my lines per hour up just fine. With Webmedx do you clock out for all these little things or as long as you get lines per payperiod or per hour it works out?
Also...do you have to clock out any time you leave the computer, i.e. to answer the door, go to the
x
Clock?
Thanks, so far everything I have heard about this company is good.
You are right on the clock - you don't HAVE to sm
log off for everything; that's your own choice. But I do because I like to get a higher line count. If you are worried about how many hours it may take you to get in your time, simply put some time limits on yourself and GET YOUR WORK DONE in that time frame.
We don't clock in/out. If you are away for more
than 15 minutes you need to change your IM status to show you are away. I answer the phone, door, get coffee, walk the dog, etc. and I don't change my IM status.
You are signed on by the fact that you download work, other than that there is no signing in and out, no clock.
better a desk clock
than a time bomb attached to aforesaid desk clock or even worse a pound of headcheese.
what about the weird clock
the clock they sent for MT week, that cracked me up. Makes me dizzy to look at it, how does that help? Agree 100% about ASR.
You are supposed to clock in and out sm
In order to get any bonus money, which is paid according to Lines Per Hour (LPH), you NEED to clock in and out for everything. It makes for a very long day, turning 8 hours into sometimes 10 or even more. I don't clock out to look up words or to go to the bathroom but do clock out for anything longer than 15 minutes. I think PTO starts from day one.
you don't have to clock out but it helps sm
as far as your lph (lines per hour) rate for bonus money. You finish a job, when you release it, you are asked if you want to release this job yes or no and there is a box that says do you want to clock out. If you want to clock out at that time you put an x in that box and release your job and you get clocked out.
Same here. It's like clock-work...
at the end of the pay period. Problem is, first day and a half I'm out of work too so I start out bad and end up bad. Three accounts but you'd never know it. Stayed up till 1 a.m. and got up at 5 a.m. today to get a jump on things and was out by 5:41 a.m. I'm over it and looking elsewhere. Can't live on this.
me too! esp after going through MQ w/t.clock lunacy..

ICs don't have to punch a clock, do they?
x
I don't clock out for just a bathroom break or to
get coffee, but the bathroom and the coffee pot are only about 10 and 2 steps away respectively.
Well that is just silly, unless you are getting round the clock pay.
And I highly doubt that. I was a recruiter, doesn't pay all that great.
TransTech - do they punch a clock? (sm)
or how rigid is their scheduling?
As long as it's not a desk clock...
I got that from my (ex) company for Christmas one year. Stupidest gift ever.
When I worked in an office, we played games with prizes and ordered in lunch each day, but since I've been at home, I've appreciated gift cards.
I got a very pretty handmade card one year with a gift card and I really appreciated that.
Well there are other MTs who just applied that have said they have to clock in and out and chose
not to get into that so not sure why some do and some dont. Maybe different recruiters. Cant answer that.
It recently changed - we used to have to clock in / out sm
for everything, to keep accurate track of time worked; your bonus was based on LPH and the more accurate your clock, the better your LPH. About a month ago we changed to incentive based on a weekly line count, so hours clocked in are not so important now.
for MT30+: Sorry, but this was then, now is now...We cannot set the clock back....sm
Modern technology ist to be blamed for the downfall of the medical transcription industry done by MTs.
As already seen in many cases, modern technology makes people obsolete and machines are replacing us.
That's what WalMart asked, OT off the clock sm
and was fined, BUT, they did it before too, according to the newspaper, so it probably is just a business write off deduction. Company nnames should be sent to the labor board and let them check it out. Present the problem, Google labor board for address and send in the names.
It is paid for; just tell your STM if you forgot to clock in. nm
.
Also, do you clock out for every little thing, or do you find that now you're able to still get t
x
I see. So do you have clock in and out to show your hours? Do they still offer IC?
Sometimes it is hard to get a great line count on some platforms in a 8-hour period of time so I usually work longer so I can get in a certain number of lines. I guess what I am saying is that if I only ended up with 800 lines during my 8-hour shift because of whatever reason and I needed my 1200, could you work longer or not?
