I find them pretty flexible, but you do have to work your total required hours.

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!
TT time clock
No time clock, but have to keep schedule. Not extremely strict, flexible.
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?
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,
s
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

I worked there part-time briefly. People are very nice to deal with, sm
and pay was okay. You had to wait 90 days to get direct deposit, and until then checks were mailed, which is a bit of pain, but they were always on time. I didn't care that much for my account, but the leader was always quite helpful. They must be a bit disorganized, though, as I still get messages from the help desk to help out, and I have been gone at least 3 months! And the help desk is apparently in India, if that makes any difference to you.
Maybe if this deal loses clients, I can work out an at-home deal with one of my current accounts.
Or else get a McJob at McDonald's flipping McBurgers....
Yes, you should run very quickly, it is by
far the worst company to work for.
Very quickly. It's the truth.
I know some people may take a little longer to answer, but honestly, I only experienced that a couple of years ago when I first started. Whenever I need to ask a question, I've been getting answers very quickly, and I know that when someone IMs me, I'm getting right back to them...unless I ran to the potty. :)
Move on quickly...
There are other great companies out there. This really touched me, you sound like a single mom who is trying to just make the best for her kids. I feel for you! I, too, am trying to raise two kids, but work for a great national even though there has been a lot said of that, but they have been good to me. Don't feel like where you are at is the only option. There are many other places out there, just start looking and working at home really isn't so bad! Good luck to you!
they can speak as quickly as they want to? sm
WHAT? That is an insane statement. What is worse than a doc who is racing through his dictations, almost nothing worse in my opinion, it's my pet peeve I think (hides)
If you pass, they get back w/you quickly
It's after you get "hired" that seems to take forever. I got my test results in 2 days, a week to hear from the recruiter, a week to get employment package, a week to get receipt of that acknowledged and schedule training, a week to start receiving equipment. And who knows how long before one is released from training to full production. I'm starting to wonder, but my current place is so awful that MQ is a definite step up. Anyway, don't quit your old job if you get hired; wait until you know when you will be in full production.
Things disappear so quickly

This is classic, but I can usually get them to go away pretty quickly!
No matter what they say I respond No speak English. One lady even tried speaking in Spanish, but I just kept saying the same thing. LOL! Yes, caller ID helps enormously too! I do not answer unknown name calls who do not display their number or anything that seems fishy.
I just quickly looked through my info
and I can't find the tuition reimbursement info. I've not had the opportunity to use it. I do remember something about the fact that they pay for CMT certification if you pass.
If I can answer any other questions for you please don't hesitate to ask!
Things change quickly, I would look twice -sm
All Type has just done a major cut on their MTs pay rate - major. At least 80% of their work is done outside of the country and more is being shipped every day. You are being hired to keep their business moving because many are leaving with the pay cuts and they need you to work while they make the conversion to India complete. They will need editors to cover the inadequacy of those reports but American MTs can wave so long to their jobs with All Type. All Type should take down their American flag and fly the flag from the country they support - India.
things can change very quickly sm
so be careful because you might change your tune!
4 cpl could be for newbies or editors. Don't judge so quickly
Consider that service owners have to take the time to edit and provide feedback to newbies and that takes a LOT of time.
could you quickly copy and paste your document into another? then
you could just keep adding on the lines in each document to your own master document for the day. Then you would have a line count for the day. I bet you could write a macro to do this.
Is there a good site to get DQS questions answered quickly? nm
nm
I find the lines don't accumulate as quickly, but the atmosphere is GREAT. nm
Giant Red Flag. If that's the company mentality, I'd cut my losses quickly.
nm
Yeah, the timer just starts ticking away while your trying to figure out how to do it quickly
without a foot pedals, and four reports at that. Oh well, guess it wasn't meant to be.
The ones that came back so quickly missed their ham sandwich, beer and wine....sm.
and were not allowed to show their cleavage and wear miniskirts. On top of it, only married couples are allowed to have sex. This in Muslim countries.
TransTech accounts are ALL very quickly going to VR and pay is half line rate
If you like VR and the pay cut, then TT will be a good fit for you. If you are experienced and will let someone pay you less than you are worth, then go for it.
Other than accounts going to VR there and MT pay cut for editing VR reports, TT has been a good fit for me. I am very disappointed in the recent VR pay cuts.
They are changing platforms and cutting our line rate in half as the accounts go live with VR.
With the alleged shortage of decent MTs, which you managers are quickly turning into VR editors sm
You should not be complaining about graphics or colors on resumes. You should, frankly, be grateful for any applications you get. The way MTs are being turned into editors for you voice recognition crap is horrible, and you should be apologizing for it.
