SE scheduling
From what I understand, Santa Ana (Orange) and Monrovia are, I guess, sort of merged. (Same regional director/payroll dept.
What I wanted to ask (for those of you that are SEs)how closely do you stick to your schedule you provided them with? I was told I needed to work a set schedule, but heard from others that I can be very "lax" with it. I'm confused about the answers I've been getting, so if anyone can shed some light on the subject, I would greatly appreciate it.
scheduling
AllType's scheduling seems very rigid and I was looking for a more flexible schedule, like a 12-hour window or something similar. Any suggestions? Anyone from AllType that has personal experience regarding their scheduling with opinions to share? Thanks!
Strict TAT
I think there is work. From my experience, the MTSOs just want the work done within minutes, so they overstaff the accounts to make sure there is never a backlog. Good for them, bad for the MT.
stat scheduling
Can anyone clear up the "general" schedule I need to follow as an MQ SE? I am so confused. I'm aware each office is different. My office asks for a set schedule, but is "very flexible." For those of you who are SEs, do you follow the exact schedule you give your acct mgr? If you agree to an 8-hour day, must you complete all 8 hours if your line count is already met? Can you log in to do extra work outside of your hours such as nights/weekends? I'm just curious to know how much time is actually monitored, being that this is a "general" schedule. It's very confusing and not really being made clear to me--please help! 
Very strict. If you have any question SM
as to whether you can make the minimum, don't even apply. This also goes for when the work is low, they still expect minimum.
How flexible is their scheduling? sm
Don't they have a 12 hour window to get work done in?
Flexible Scheduling
Are there other companies that offer flexible scheduling, or rather line commitments, instead of a fixed shift - like MDI-MD?
Thank you. I DO appreciate it. I do deal with strict QA now...sm
but at least they don't threaten to deduct your paycheck for it.
It sounds like their (Transolutions) QA is a lot tougher now...hmmmm....maybe it's not worth the extra benes...
Thanks again MTMT.
To MW - re set hours, scheduling, etc.
Set hours - yes you work a schedule but you can basically set your own schedule except you will need to work either Saturday or Sunday, usually Sunday through Thursday or Tuesday through Saturday but they will work with you on the weekdays. TT is the most flexible company I have found.
SPI's new scheduling application
Are there any current SPI MTs who are willing to share their thoughts on the new scheduling application?
scheduling application
I find the application slow and clumsy. No way can you sign out if you leave your computer every 5 mins... it really is the last straw. Word has it they're going to dump us anyway and pull out of onshore accounts altogether.
Webmedx scheduling
Can you tell me about the scheduling at Webmedx? Is there much flexibility? Weekends required? Thank you!
Archivus scheduling
Can anybody tell me if the scheduling at Archivus for clinic work is flexible? Can you tell me anything about the platform? Thank you!
As far as I know, in the strict Muslim
countries, to which Saudi Arabia belongs, women are only allowed to work as nurses or teachers.
They want American MTs because they perceive them, rightfully, as the best, and they are ready to pay well for quality.
I see this as compliment. It is not that Muslim men and women regard every foreign women as immoral. They judge and differentiate according to the woman's behavior. If she is decent and virtuous, she is treated with respect.
I can imagine that there are restrictions regarding clothing, food and drinks, and lifestyle in general, but if we decide to live in another continent with a different religion and culture, we have to respect that.
20 for PT and 40 for FT. But they are RIGID in scheduling. sm
I turned down the position because of this.
the info given so far is that scheduling will be MORE FLEXIBLE
so not sure exactly what you are asking, re: firm.
Do you know how strict they are on their required experience? Thanks! nm

When I worked for JLG, it was pretty strict sm
about work schedules. I did not realized they kept track of my time via the ICQ messenger, which I kept turning off because of persistent, numerous, disruptive, and annoying messages from people on the Net I didn't know. I didn't realize this and had to make up for time they claimed I didn't work but actually did. Maybe it's better now.
Are they extremely strict with schedules? nm

They're very strict with their lines sm
You'll get harrassing certified letters and nasty e-mails. You're required to meet your lines by the 3rd payperiod. They get really nasty to you too...they were all sugar sweet and helpful until I stood up for myself, and then their true colors came through.
Unless you're a very fast transcriptionist, it's almost impossible to make your lines. I'm just an average transcriptionist. I have always been able to make my lines at other places of employment, but never at TH. They run out of work A LOT (read--nearly every single day) and have a butt-load of foreign doctors. A really bad combination if you want to make your lines.
Some people love them, but I'm not one 'em! I'm glad they're ancient history with me. I work for a much better company now.
how flexibile is your scheduling at Medware? NM

Companies with flexible scheduling?
I'm looking for a company that I can commit to lines per pay period and not a set schedule?
Ugh ...recruiter sent me the info .. seems very strict .. thanks nm

How's the scheduling for MDI-MD? Are they completely flexible?
Better read the IRS specs first. There are strict....sm
instructions on whether to call a worker an IC or an employee. An employer can be in big trouble for mandating any specifications of a job if he/she is calling a worker an IC. They are starting to crack down on that, too, especially with companies who have several workers. It's about time, in my opinion, that places get in trouble! If you don't put up with it, it will stop happening.
As far as PT scheduling, it would depend on the account, but SM
with regard to the PT incentive plan, there is a certain number of lines that have to be done on a weekend day. I don't have it all in front of me right now to be more specific than that. Maybe someone else can help with that... Sorry :-/
Does ANYONE besides MDI pay decent and have that FLEXIBLE scheduling? HELP, please! nm

WEBMEDX - how strict are they with their schedules and clocking in and out? TIA nm
Recommendations on company with flexible scheduling
I am looking for a company who is flexible in their scheduling. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated plus any other good/bad info.
Futurenet scheduling/flexibility question. (sm)
If you agree to work during certain hours say 8-5, how flexible are they if something comes up and you take a couple of hours off during a.m. and then make up in p.m. Is this even allowed. I know it is IC but some IC positions are very rigid while others are not.
I have to work 8-hour strict schedule SM
Platform is either Chartmatrix or Enterprise, average pay, the company is just average all around. It's not horrible but it also isn't great. Up until 6 months ago I would have recommended to give them a try, but they have started this downhill slide, feels more like Spheris now. I have felt this for the last 6 months. When the job market opens up a bit more I'm going to look around.
Can someone elaborate on the strict conditions of the contract?
The IC contract under which I currently work is very flexible and I've never had a problem with the MTSO except work is a little slow right now so I've got to be VERY flexible to make my lines.
I was considering a few other places to fill in the gap and Fast Chart was one of them.
I'd love more details about how restrictive the contract is and more details about the pay cut you'd be expected to take. Is their salary lower than the other MTSOs?
Thanks for any extra enlightenment you can provide!
Mind if I ask if they have flexible scheduling? pay scale? thanks! nm

Don't know scheduling, but she emailed me saying they hire only FT and have no surgery accts. at

While I think it would be difficult to work a very strict schedule at home - sm
I do believe that every MT should have a window in which they are expected to do their work. That benefits everyone involved, the MT, the company, as well as the hospital. I pretty much adhere to the same hours every day, unless something unexpected (emergency situation) comes up. I just think it is easier that way. However, in the summer time, I like to adjust my hours a bit to be able to work in the early a.m. while the kids are still sleeping. I work the same hours over the summer though. Working at home around your family is not easy, so there has to be a little flexibility on both sides. Going to an office to work without your everyday family and life interruptions, I believe, is quite different.
I think the only thing they are strict on is downloading things to the computer. sm
General surfing the web and stuff isn't a problem. I surf the web all the time for medical references, etc... and I haven't ever had a problem. I know that they are strict about not downloading anything to the computer because it may cause a conflict with the software they use.
Hope that helps.
Just curious...how strict is TT about having 5 years' experience before applying? NM

TransTech scheduling question. I know you work 1 weekend day (sm)
and give them a schedule you will be working. Do they micromanage, i.e. if you have to run to school to pick up a sick kid can you make up the time at the end of the shift without calling for permission? Do they go through and check your time on line and lines done to make sure you are being productive while signed onto system as MQ does?
Have heard they are really great and I understand schedules, but some companies allow more freedom of movement than others.
Any info helpful. TIA.
Keystroke radiology - flexible shift or strict?
I have tried searching the archives and found conflicting information. A few posts say you must work an assigned shift but other posts say work when you want. Which is it, or is it both depending on the account?
Strict on the days. It depends on the account as to the flexibility. nm

Does Webmedx has a strict schedule or a window to get work done?
I tried searching boards, but too many entries came up. Thanks
Do any companies allow you to edit the dictation somewhat or are you strict verbatim? First time do

IC status and being asked to commit to specific scheduling question
I thought I understood that this was not permitted to be asked if one was an IC. I work a very, very stable schedule as it is, but they want me to tell them EXACTLY when I will work and also will I commit to weekends as well. What do you all think???
Question about SoftScript. Strict schedule, can you quit when you get your lines? (sm)
I saw a posting before that said you were good to go as long as you signed in on time and did your lines. Is this accurate?
Also, I have seen they are offering 7 cents per line regardless of experience. Is this still true?

do Etransplus and probity offer true flexible scheduling
or do you have to follow a set schedule? Thank you in advance for all your input.
Amphion hires part-time - they're very strict schedule-wise though
Since part time is so hard to find these days your options are limited, so if you don't mind working for a company that is a stickler for strict schedule adherence, I say try Amphion.
Good Company, but yes very strict supervisor or mine was anyway! As long as you meet the deadline
you are safe! They were strict when I was with them though
