to your schedule, you just email them. They seem pretty flexible about everything.
Hope this helps.

You fill in a time sheet
but why dread it? attitude is 60% of the challenge (or more). You might just like it better, i do.
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.
EX-MQer maybe its time to make a change in your name and get on with your life
Have a wonderful evening
Make yourself an Excel sheet to do the calculations for you.
Not hard to do.
Once I get my packet, I'm going to do that. If you want I'll post when I do that and would be glad to send it to those who want it.
time sheet
You have to keep a time sheet. It's done online and it's pretty brainless to do. I wonder about people who have nothing better to do than complain about things 98% of the workforce deals with.
No, it is a manual time sheet (sm)
Bonus is paid on total for pay period, not hourly bonus. I never put potty breaks on it, just my lunch break, cause that's longer.
All I got wa a time sheet via email from TT
I don't have anything set up like you do. That would be nice to have that.
How do MTs get paid if it is not on time sheet. Are they just working to keep
p
Luckily, I ALWAYS print out my time sheet, so...
that will be my proof, I suppose. Needless to say, 40 hours is IT for me, lines or no lines. And now I need to start looking AGAIN for a better job, if such a thing even exists. Don't bother lauding TT - been there and done that and with the honesty about them of late I won't go there. But any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I don't think any of them do, but some of them require VERY little time to fill in.

You fill out a schedule a month at a time..sm
and you can change it at anytime. You are not required to work weekends. The work is pooled, they use ExText. They are wonderful!
How many companies do not require you to fill out a time clock? NM
Thanks.
Does DQS track your time for payroll, or do we fill in our own timesheet on-line? nm

I think they will hire PT if it is a hard to fill time slot. I would talk
to them and see. They go both by hours worked and lines transcribed since you are employee status. The insurance is First Health and the coverage is great. We had Aetna prior to this and First Health offers better coverage for less money. Vacation accrues immediately but you cant' take it for the first 90 days. I think you get 11 days the first year and it increases every year after that. I think the max is either 21 or 26 days per year.
Hope that helps.
Nothing will change unless we make it change..SM
As long as we accept the exploitation that this MT profession has reduced us to, it will keep going on. The top of this is the outsourcing.... well, get your legislators involved....better yet, the MEDIA. How many patients know their private medical information is being outsourced to halfway around the world? The squeeky wheel gets the grease. Do the patients know that their info won't be sold by some unscrupulous MT (halfway around the globe) to insurance companies, etc., making all this Medical records privacy a joke. It's not just our T-shirts being made in other countries; it's our most personal, private medical information, of which the public is not being made aware of. Not to speak of undercutting out profession to the bare bone. Granted, most US MTs are willing to work below market wage just to have a job, especially in economically-deprived areas, where outside jobs are scarce, and kids need to be fed and mortgages need to be paid. MTSOs know this. I'll bet they'll be the first to lobby against any action against outsourcing. (Wouldn't you be...if you got people to work for pennies while you're raking in the big $$$'s ? Still, notwithstanding the outsourcing problem, we're still going along with all the BS...working for pennies, whatever the client wants, he gets... ever notice how all of the MTSO flak seems to be re. unpaid work...mostly, demographic issues we're not even paid for... bec. It has to be done.. Part of the job... The client put the wrong info but we have to correct it...all unpaid work. Just give me a job with nothing but straight transcription, w/o the unpaid/demo. flak..I'll take it even at the present, absurd pennies-per-line state of the profession.
Great tip! Change, delete, or add as you go to make

I hope DSG doesn't make the change

No PTO for part-time. Not sure if you can work part-time or not since recent rule change. sm
You do pay a deposit for their equipment.
Time change info......sm
Go to Microsoft.com and look for patch for time zone edit...easy to find..should be on the top. Download and you'll be fine.
Okay. Flex your time. Change your schedule if necessary. sm
If you have been in this business any length of time, you should know how work volumes fluctuate, especially around the holidays.
I took the plunge too ... definitely time for a change. Thanks to all for the input. nm
all the time. Can change it to be played on Express

I'm thinking............Time to change careers.
Why do people struggle so hard until they are so miserable that they live, sleep, and breath misery. You are right though about struggling, it's never going to change so I am taking classes to get my coding degree. I am choosing NOT to be miserable anymore.
Time change is earlier this year so computer
probably will not ask you to change now, may ask you at the usual time.
When is an SE allowed to change to employee (full-time) status?
Is it 11/01/2005 ?????
Thanks so much for informing us who have not received the packet as of yet.
Weren't they at one time OmniMed? If so, they were terrible then! Leopards do not change their

companies change all the time - her info is old, she said. (sm/small message)
A turnover in managers,QA, leads, even recruiters can make an impact and happens all the time, so you never know; old info - grain of salt. newer info more reliable and needs to be found while considering.
Yes I thought it sounded nice. Just hard to change but it is time. Always a little bit of anxiety
about another company and leaving what you know and sort of starting over but sometimes it is time. You know, the fat lady sang.
Nope, more like a matter of time before we're all working for chump change.

Your puter should ask you Sun. morning about making the time change. Just follow the 'custom'

SPi fact sheet

Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
Yes, I make my time up later in the week when possible
or the weekends. I'm not tied to my computer. I do other things in between and check every 15 minutes or so for work.
I really don't care about the slow period. It was so busy for so many months that I am enjoying the slow down....but hopefully, it won't be much longer. I'm getting used to having these breaks. 
Is it a given you can flex and make up time or (sm)
do you have to have specific permission from your supervisor? I know when I worked for MQ it was always designated when you could and couldn't make up time.
Naaa, can put it on one sheet but you'll have a separate
column(s) for ASR figures.
Right and if they are offering OT, you just note it on sheet. No biggee.

my instruction sheet says 222 for for slow, 333 for speed.

Make sure that you save & replace it every time

The only time I don't make my line count
it is my own fault for wasting time, surfing the net, etc. It's always my fault. Even when we had a dry spell with work trickling in I still hopped on when most people weren't working and I still made my required count for the pay period.
How long before they make you part-time?
I have had a terrible couple of months. The first time I didn't make my line counts a person from HR emailed me and suggested that I type a bit faster. Gee....why hadn't I thought of that?
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours! More time for 2nd Job.
x
Of course we do. This will make time #5 that I do just that. Glad you have good luck.
Not everybody does. Ummm...you do know you don't always get what you ask for/want, right? And if you try sometimes, you still don't get what you need.
I believe they mean that you have to make $900 per PP to be full time, still paid by line

Thanks a million!! I guess the spread sheet confused my eyes. :)

I work at AMphion part-time and make as much there in 20 hours as I do at my FT job in 40
.
Not easy to make 1000 - lots of ESLs or time
spent looking up addresses, etc. They kept you on because they can't find anyone to put up with the low and steady income.
not to mention, this feels like a push to make this just a part-time
job because it seems to be happening already. My partner drives a school bus and they do that to the drivers, they only allow them to work so-many hours a week, with absolutely NO benefits, other than the few the union has gotten them, and the bit higher pay scale. My partner also has had the union fight for his job many times especially when new managers would come in and right away want to 'clean house', get rid of the higher paid, senior drivers. It costs him 37 dollars a month though for 10 months and that is a drag too but in the long run, he does have some protection and the union is only as strong as its members. they are also in bed with management most of the time but these managers are usually nasty, aggressive, and would rather just hire their friends and family, and that is one thing I appreciate the union for, if nothing else...
you have to have an advocate - someone has to have our best interest in mind if we are ever to keep our jobs...
I am curious about the amount of money I am making at this time. I make around $700 every week and
I am wondering if this is average or if I am selling myself short as an IC.
WWWaah. I used to make good money til the health problems hit, now it seems hardly worth my time!

Can you fill me in, too?
I have done acute care for 17+ years. thanks
