Why are you working 60 hours, when you can work 40 at Amphion?
Posted By: curious on 2005-12-06
In Reply to: I work at AMphion part-time and make as much there in 20 hours as I do at my FT job in 40 - watcha talkin' 'bout, Willis?
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 at AMphion part-time and make as much there in 20 hours as I do at my FT job in 40
.
at that rate, working acute care, I would do $28 an hour - but I only work 6 hours a day...
Like she said, you just have to be able to utilize all your tools and be at it for years - it comes eventually...
I actually make $33.00 an hour though because at my production tier I make 10 cpl a line.
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.
I don't think we work at the same place, but I have been working lots and lots of hours.
Very thankful to have a decent job.
What are minimum PT hours for Amphion?
.
Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels. 
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.

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

Anyone happily working for Amphion?
Thanks!
seriously?? My opinion: if you are working that many hours
and can't get enough lines to make more than 700 bucks every 2 weeks?? you really are in the wrong profession. That is a really, really sad line count ... either that or you get paid .02 a line or something. good grief. I'm making 120 bucks a day easy in an 8 hour day. Also -- are you REALLY working 10-12 hours or are you fiddling with other things and if you added it up, you are actually TYPING 2 or 3?? be honest with yourself.
You're working all hours
to make up yours but taking work from those scheduled to work. NOt that I blame you, we all need what we need, BUT WEBMEDX - YOU HAVE OVERHIRED!!!!! I don't like having to fight people for my work. As soon as I find something else, I'm outta here. Over 25 years experience down the tubes!!!
a window doesn't mean working less than say 7 to 8 hours a day, sm
it means breaking up your shift over a 12-hour period or whatever period the company offers.
Yes. I earn almost $40,000 working 32 hours a week. nm

Anybody here working second shift hours at Oracle?
I see a lot of negative regarding this company and am wondering if the work load is consistent when working second shift hours there. Thanks much.
I make about $1,500 a month working about 20 hours per week.
Believe me, I'm not bragging or slamming anybody at all. No way. I'm frustrated with my own income because I'd like to make more. I'm willing to put in more hours to do it, too. Honestly, I'm not that fast. I have one very small local account and one small MTSO I subcontract for. None of it is verbatim, it's clean up the grammar as you go, which totally slows me down.
I won't work for a national any more because I couldn't make enough money there. I wasn't willing to tough it out for three months until I could make their line counts, especially when they had me on their worst accounts, pools of hundreds of dictators per hospital so I couldn't use my expander, and a new account every week.
I've said before that if I'm going to do MT, it's going to be on my terms. I won't chain myself to a desk or be "on call" all day long waiting for work to come in. Nationals don't pay you to sit there and wait for work. That's bull. Being on call IS working. Other businesses pay their "on call" people at least minimum wage. They skirt around the issue trying to use SE and IC terminology, but it's just a way of paying us less to be at their beck and call.
Don't give up on MT entirely. You'll find your fit. It just takes some searching.
This thing about working 40 hours for benefits is garbage.
So if I do my usual 20,000 lines a pay period but only work 30 hours, I lose my benefits, but a newbie who takes 40 hours to do 12,000 lines gets benefits? This is insane. I've enjoyed working for MedQuist, but between this lousy new platform and stinking corporate rules, I've had it. My notice goes in next week, and I'm going back to school this quarter to become a P.A.
I've been working 5 hours and it is still only showing 250 lines. It will
come up eventually correct, but seems to take forever.
A company/MTSO can offer an IC a job working certain hours
that they need coverage, and it's up to the IC to agree to working those hours, or not take the job.
If you hired an IC to repair your roof, would you want him working daylight hours, or since he's an IC can he work on the roof from midnite to 8 a.m. if he wants?
YUP, health problems eventually set in and with working 17 hours/day, they'll be popping up very
You're so right.
Workload has reached a manageable level with everyone working scheduled hours.
Voluntary OT is still available on some accounts.
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.

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.
Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
All nationals I work for you only work 40 hours unless they approve overtime.

Isnt it sad. We just want to go to work every day on our shift, work our 8 hours and be done with it
Instead I sit here hours hoping the Indians leave some work for us so we can at least get our 8 hours in. Nothing like logging onto you shift and being told no work. Nice.
they cant "make you work certain hours" but they can find someone that is willing to work them
If not, they dont have to hire you as IC or anything for that matter. So yes it is perfectly legal.
If she hires you as an IC and it doesn't state in your contract when she needs that particular IC coverage and she then dictates what hours you work, she cannot do that.
But she can refuse to hire you if you don't provide the coverage that she is looking for.
Amphion always has work. nm
Amphion work
There is tons of work, but their new account absolutely stinks as far as inputing a lot of data in the headers which you are not paid for.
Does Amphion have SE work?
x
Believe me, Amphion is NOT out of work.
Maybe just one person on one account. If that one account runs out, there are plenty more accounts there. All anybody has to do is speak to their supervisor.
I work for Amphion right now...sm
What do you want to know specifically? I like it most of the time. I don't think it's any worse than anything else out there. You have to stick to your schedule daily but you get to set it on your own when you start, not just taking what shift they want to assign to you, so that part is nice. Pay is always on time, direct deposited.
Anyone work for Amphion?
I tried to search MTStars for it, but can only find postings from 2005. Any new info would be helpful. Is their pay competive? Do they offer equipment, and what kind of platform do they use? Do they have any VR? TIA!!
Anyone work for Amphion? Would like to know if you are
happy there. How does the cpl compare with other companies? Workload? PTO? etc.
Anyone work for Amphion? Would like to know if you are
happy there. How does the cpl compare with other companies? Workload? PTO? Flexibility? etc. I posted this same message a week or so ago and got no response. Do any Amphion employees even use this board?
You must work at Amphion
bah
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.
Does MQ address how one is to work 40 hours when there is no work available?
Do they cover any of the things they always refused to address before?
Can work as many hours as I want at the national I work for now, and they don't pay OT until you
to a certain level of production.
