Your situation obviously is different than mine.

I think those required C-phone and
I hope they pay well to have to pay those types of expenses especially as an employee. C-phones are selling for $350.00 on ebay. hmmmmmmmmm
There were different accounts on that job posting, some required C-Phone and others did not..(sm)
Also, there were 2 or 3 different platforms so it's more than one account.
You will be required to work set hours.

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.
Are you required to type 2400 lines in eight hours? Only
aa
MDI-MA does not require a set schedule- you do your required lines in 24 hours. nm

FutureNet part time - how many hours required? (sm)
I understand they have a high percentage of ESL, willing to do that for flexibility and less than 20 hours per week PT. I would love just 8-10. Anyone know if it is worthwhile contacting Futurenet or know any others that hire limited hours PT?
Yes it does, but 35 hours a week is all that is required to be full time and get bennies.

Oh, yeah, NOT fair to those TransTech MT's who are REQUIRED to work a certain # of hours per mont
on weekends! Tell us how you managed to talk TT mgmt into that favor for you! Oh, no, another TT fav !!!
Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm

Worked on C-phone for 10 years with 1 phone line

C-phone - I purchased a c-phone from someone in Oklahoma but never got it. *sm*
First she told me her grandmother died. Then she told me she mailed it. Then she told me her daughter was having chemotherapy. Call me naive, but I thought she was sincere and cannot imagine anyone using their daughter as an excuse. If this is the same person from Oklahoma, I sure would like to know about it because now I want my money back.
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.

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.
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm

I don't have a second phone line ... cable modem for the internet, regular line for my C-phone.
If anyone wanst to get through to me while I'm working, they have my cell phone number.
And, as I said, some accounts are using wav files -- no doubt soon all of the accounts will convert. Hope so ... would make it easier (less expensive) to work when traveling. :-)
Lots of good companies out there -- hope you find one that fits :)
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
C-Phone = Connexions Phone
Dictaphone is a company and one of their many products is a C-Phone.

10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.

if it says *required* and you want the gig....nm
You are required to
use their computer. I wanted to use my own, but they said it's easier for them to provide technical support if everything is uniform and everyone has the same hardware/software. IMO, the pay is above average compared to what I was offered from other companies. They also review you yearly for a possible raise and give a bonus on your anniversary. The benefits were extremely affordable. HTH
Unless you are FT and required to
make up your time then take the day off. They cannot force you to work if you are scheduled off, unless it is the Q and they will not let you take PTO and you have to have your hours/lines in. The only thing is if you work on production, then your check is improved from having no work through the week. If you can afford it, take it off.
If you are doing all that is required, i.e.,
making your line counts and working your scheduled hours, I would just ignore then. Worrying is not going to change anything. When they direct something at you specifically, then talk to them about it.
Why would we be required
To disclose any and every employer we have ever worked for when we have done so as an independent contractor? This is always something that I have wondered. As an IC, aren't we free to come any go as we chose? Aren't we in business for ourselves? This is where a lot of MTSOs have it wrong.
Do we go to the plumber or guy installing our satellite and ask him to disclose any and every individual he has ever done work for? No, we don't. I'm sure he'd be happy to provide references though!
I don't list anyone that I've worked for (unless I have done so as an employee). What does this information matter to an MTSO? If they hold up to their end of the bargain and I am a good MT for them and test well, what should my work history matter? ESPECIALLY in this industry. If I'm asked for reference, that's one thing. If I'm asked to disclose every single company I have worked for..that is another.
Don't get me wrong, I haven't job hopped without GOOD reason. However, I have worked for companies p.r.n. I have worked for companies for a couple of months only to find out the owner is the one with the issues. I have worked for companies where everything was going fine, but unfortunately I can't put my bills on hold for them to decide to pay me...three months later. I have worked for companies who promised this or that, only to have junk thrown at me consistently when they find out I am capable of doing the junk that their other MTs can't and getting paid 7 cpl to do so. I have also worked for the 24 hour FLEXIBLE companies who then decide that because people aren't holding up to their end of the bargain...your flexibility is going out the door and you NOW have to let them know EXACTLY what time you are going to be working.
And, see, you can't win with the MTSOs looking for this information because if you were to go into details as to why you changed jobs in this period so much, you would be looked down on because you were negative about these companies. How fair is that? What is in the past is in the past.
And what is required to CASH IT !!!!
What does the accompanying letter with the check say. Anxious to know . . . surely could use my money now.
Set hrs always have been required of employees/and if SE they can only ask what
you aren't a contractor, you are an employee.
If they begin telling contractors what hours to work and clocking them in and out, they become EMPLOYEES and must be treated as such.
And believe me if they start treating me as an employee, they better start picking up a lot of my costs!!!!
I should have said that the accounts I am on have never required a
log. I keep one with the accession number to keep track of what I do but no one has ever asked me for it. I work on a RadNet account if that makes a difference.
Are you required to do weekends? sm
Do they have insurance or are they IC? What are their line requirements?
I was told PT required
500 lines a day. Do you know if that is the average over 2 weeks that you have to have or is it a strict 500/day?
I believe you are required to use their computer...
I was told this was for security reasons. One of the very few things I am unhappy with is not being able to have their software on my laptop so I could work when I'm out of town. But they have been really flexible with my schedule, not like MQ where you had to jump through every hoop imaginable just to change your schedule by an hour or two, so I manage without being able to be as mobile as I used to be. From the looks of what is going on at MQ, it is a small price to pay for peace of mind and a much less stressful life.
You're not required to .... SM
do the extra lines they ask for. I take it when I can and don't when I can't. I do 12000 to 14000 lines a payperiod and don't EVER work 8 hours a day....I think Keystrokes is a great company to work for.
If you are PT, I don't think you are required to make it up; FT MTs sm
are expected to make it up (if there is enough to do) during the same week (40 hours) so that it doesn't run into overtime. As for having enough to do - wow, my accounts are LOADED and have been since yesterday noon. We are doing some OT even.
Info required
Has anyone worked for Integrity, Venice, Timothy Olyphant? How are the accounts and how is the pay? Any info will be appreaciated. Thanks.
Required notice?
I am an Editor at Spheris. I am going to be resigning soon, however I don't want to leave Spheris on bad terms should I ever need them for a reference.
Does anyone know, is a 2 week notice considered adequate?
Excuse me, but we are required to use
zzzzz
I'm not required to use shorthand
I'm still using IT, and it works just fine. No one has told me any different, not even a hint of it. In fact, emails generally refer to both ShortHand and IT, because they know that both are being used per the MT preference.
I have done this and there is not that much training required
It is much easier than medical transcription. It does not take all of the specialized knowledge that we have to have and is a good option. Learning to work in their computer program is the most difficult part (not difficult at all.) Some companies might require the training on the steno tapes like the other person mentioned, but I would suspect that many do not. I always worked with audio files and that is where you make those corrections from. It is basically like the VR we do now only from a different program. I had to do a lot of name and medication verification. Of course the medication verification would be a breeze today and Google would even make the verification of the people's names much simplier. This is definitely a option for us if MT companies continue to outsource and ignore our specialized skills. I would recommend anyone unhappy to try it. Contact individual court reporters or local companies. I have family members in this field and would not hesitate to go back.
You do not get PTO for 16 hours a week. 24 hours or more for the PTO. nm
:
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.
? 13.33 for 3 hours ($4.44 hours) am I doing it right. Geez!!!!!i

But are you required to sit & wait, or can you log off and return later? sm
If you are required to sit there, then yes you should be paid. If not, then you should be able to flex your hours and return later to finish.
