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.

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
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.

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.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
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
What hours do you work?
Also, which days? I was thinking of applying with this company. Maybe you could switch your schedule around a little.
They do want you to work the hours (sm)
you have committed to. If you do that, you shouldn't have any problems making your lines - minimum 6600 per week.
How many hours do you work
between the 3? I have enough trouble working part-time at one and taking care of 3 kids, a dog, my house and husband. How do you do it?
I work 35 hours
The schedules used to be based on 35 hours a week, 172 lines per hour. I don't know if this has changed with the new account. It is something you need to discuss with the recruiter/supervisor on your interview.
I type well above 12,000 lines per pay period. So, it is definitely possible.
and how many hours do you work...100? LOL

I only work 6 hours a day - M-F. nm

They can get away with it, if they need someone to work those hours
then they can give the work to whoever is there to do it. If you contract to paint someone's house, you are going to do it when they say you can not when you want to do it. The customer has a right to expect something done when they want it done, not when you want to do it.
No IC should have to work set hours.
That is absurd. If there is any sign of control such as set hours no matter whether these MTSOs like to word it nights and/or weekends equals employee status. Be very careful of these MTSOs who are getting away with paying an IC to be an employee. PHewee...
i would want to work more than 40 hours is what
I just need a certain amount of lines since they only start out at 8 cpl!!
There isn't enough work for 35 hours. nm
Maybe she wants a PT job so she work her hours
around her husband's schedule, so that she won't have little kids interupting her work (which is what I do). Don't be jealous just because you can't do it with kids, because there are those of us that are good enough to handle it. 
Have to work all hours to try to get my sm
lines in.
You CAN work over 40 hours you just
can't put it on your time card
You have to work hours that are the best sm
for you and your family. If your family time is important then work your hours around it. I would pick fly s**t out of pepper before I would lose my precious family time. It is more important to me than money. The trolls on here can drop dead or go back to wherever they came from.
You do not get PTO for 16 hours a week. 24 hours or more for the PTO. nm
:
? 13.33 for 3 hours ($4.44 hours) am I doing it right. Geez!!!!!i
.
Why do you have to work 40 hours if you are statutory? nm
x
You will be required to work set hours.
:
how may hours a week do you work
or maybe a better question is how many lines a day do you do?
You don't have to quit. Just work the hours
you are scheduled for and don't depend on them for anything. Put your energies into the other two positions you have and more dependence on them. This job will take care of itself, because they know you can't make a living with the way they are behaving. They will either give you more work to keep you, or if you don't care what they do, the job will just disappear on its own. If you must quit, I think it would be safe to say to them that they are not meeting YOUR needs and that you must move on. I have done it several times because I have been in the same position you are in that I would call bait and switch. Some of they were glad to see me go, others wanted to keep me, but I can't stay unless I am making the money that I REQUIRE to make a living.
how many hours a week do you work to get this?
so, you don't really know what it's like to work a national.
how many hours do you have to work minimum?
nm
No, you work 10-12 hours and pretend
nm
you don't work a set number of hours
but to a projected line count you set for yourself. Some may want to work more full-time, some not. Some can work at 250 lph, some at 150 lph. Don't let the minimum scare you.
How many hours do you work a week? (NM)
nm
I work MY SCHEDULED Hours, do you?
Let's not fight about this. I stated some do not and then scramble on the weekends to make up time, then the work is low on Monday, WHICH IS MY SCHEDULED DAY.
You are an IC - they can't make you work all those hours unless you want to. sm
I'd just tell them that I was cutting back to X number of hours per day.
how many hours did you work to earn $126? - nm
.
Out of work already - 1.5 hours into shift. (sm)
Bet there will be no holiday pay for a lot of us since we have to have 32 hours in addition to the holiday to qualify for holiday pay. (WMX). We will be all sitting and scrapping for the work. Hope those new accounts come on soon and just swamp us with work.
Holiday weeks are usually feast and famine but I just had to gripe. Excuse me now. Have a good holiday all.
HOW DO YOU GET OVER TIME IF YOU DON'T WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK?
That is a great gig you have going. Do you have to work weekends?
How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
If you never take a break, work 24 hours with no sleep and ....
no potty breaks, and work seven days a week, 365 days a year, then yes, you can make that kind of money.. Who are they fooling..That is cruel to lead people to believe they could this working a standard shift, 8 hours, and 40 hours a week. I wish. I made $40,000 last year and I had NO life. All I did was work.. Not worth it..
Any tricks on making your hours when there's no work? sm
If so, please share. Feel free to share tips on making your BILLS, too, when there's no income.
Seriously, do you work off hours to make up the difference?
thanks much.
Why are you working 60 hours, when you can work 40 at Amphion?
Just curious as to why you would continue to work 60 hours a week, if you can work 40 hours at Amphion and make more money? Why have you not gone full time with Amphion? Again, just curious. I do not want to start anything.
I work 1 job, about 36 hours/week and make at
least that amount, plus have vacation and PTO, also an employee so they pay taxes. I found that working multiple account keep me from making money because I have to learn so many doctors and be aware of the different formats/platforms and account specific stuff. I used to work a bunch of jobs part-time and was working 7 days a week and lots and lots of hours and not making very much money. If I worked the same hours on one account I could have easily made $80,000+/year.
Required hours for IC work~~curious
I keep seeing ads where you are required to submit a schedule and work scheduled hours for IC positions. Is this legal? I thought that was an IRS requirement of independent contractors that you do your work on your own time. Am I wrong? It seems like the industry is headed in this direction. Companies don't want to hire employees and don't want to pay taxes either.. I guess I can understand that, but I am not sure how they can get away with it.
She means asking MTs to work OT but not record hours
not her own
The MTs can't be forced to work over 40 hours in a week
unless paid OT pay. If the work is not getting done, maybe they need additional help on the account or MTs who can actually do the work in a reasonable time to stay in TAT.
You will work many hours over 40 to meet your lines nm
nm
Are you ever able to get OT or work more days or hours if you want if employee.
Thanks for the input
You work for Webmedx and shor 18 hours? sm
Get another account, check the community page, some accounts have OT on them. The work is there, you just have to flex a bit on different accounts and such.
Medware considers FT to be 32 hours, but they have no work right now. nm
