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.

Anybody hiring for part-time ER within a window instead of set hours? TIA. NM
XX
I am able to get my lines/hours in as long as I flex a little within my time window. (sm)
Are you hiring on now or just looking?
??? Doesn't one get fired if 'one lets quality go out the window????' ...nm

Working with 24-hour window
I work for MDI-MD (which is a fabulous place to work!) and have a 24-hour window. E-mail me and I can tell you more.

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.
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!!!
Working 2 MT jobs doesn't mean
It's nice to have options also. One can be perfectly happy and content with more than one MT company and in this day and age it's probably wise to have the backup if you can handle it.
Why are you working 60 hours, when you can work 40 at Amphion?
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.
TCs website doesn't seem to be working. May be defunct? nm

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.
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.
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.
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

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.
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
You can have insurance at 30 hours with Encompass, 32 hours with eTransPlus. nm
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.

What a lot of people do not understand is companies have a minimum requirement to transcribe, just because you reach the minimum that does not give us the choice to stop working. If everyone stopped working when they met the requirement, how would the TAT be met? Companies expect us to be on during a shift they hired us for, and besides, who wants to just make the minimum? Must be nice to be able to live on that! I certainly need to transcribe as much as I can during the day and not just meet the minimum per day. The company I work for is flexible, but they do expect me to work the days and hours that I agreed to work. Just because we are not hourly that does not mean we can quit when minimum production is met. Other people who work for production based companies do not just get up and leave when they have met their production for the day, ie quota. Think about all those other places that are purely production based. They do not say, "Oh well I've reached my quota for the day, time to go home!" We have a production/quota we are required to reach, and that is all this is, a quota you have to reach, the quota does not come with the idea that you reach a quota and you are done for the day! I never heard of such a thing.
they have a 24-hr window.

MDI-MD has 24-hr window.

window of work
Some accounts also need you to be available during your assigned shift in case of stats. They might not care if you're not typing for 8 hrs. if you've met quota and the acc't. isn't out of TAT, but might need the account covered for the full 8 hrs.
WebMDX allows a window

or a 12 hour window/ - nm
nm
24-hour window
Yes, MedScript in Florida, not to be confused with MedScribe.
MDI-MD gives you a 24-hour window sm
to do your lines for the day, whatever you committed to. The pay is great, and hte accounts are easy. You do have to pay your own LD, but with so many unlimited plans available, that is really not a big deal for me. They hire statutory employees, which means they take out your FICA (and match), but no other taxes. Good luck!
12-hour window
I was offered a job with Spheris in 2/06 and they had
12-hour window schedules at that time.
12 hour window
I also have been looking for this situation. Even a 10-12 hour window would be great. It seems like this could be win-win for both the MT and company because of the need for flexibility on both ends.
Yes, 12-hour window
Also, don't need a second phone line, it's an Internet platform.
Webmedx Window
Does anyone know the window for a part-time (4 hours a day) worker? I hear it's 9 hours?
MDI-MD gives you a 24-hour window
x
MDI-MD I believe has a 24-hour window
that is pretty darn flexible if you ask me.
12 hour window
Well I wonder why they told me they no longer allowed the 12-hour window because it was just too crazy form them to deal with. I specifically asked, and the recruiter specifically told me no 12-hour window, I would have to work a set 8-hour shift with a 1/2 hour lunch break and 2 other 15-minute breaks. That was a big deal breaker for me, if they had allowed the 12-hour window as mentioned here on mtstars I might have seriously considered going with them.
MDI-MD has 24-hr window to do your work.

Webmedx. For those who have a window - do you sm
stick pretty rigidly to this or if you have unexpected interruptions do you run as much as an hour outside your window? I have heard they are pretty flexible. E-mail if you wish.
wide window
5 cpl to 11 cpl
Some then have bonuses
Average seems to be 7-8 cpl
Those who are IC working for that are crazy, IMO.
12-hour window.
Been with OSi a while. Never heard of a 12-hour window. Have always asked me for a set schedule. Does it depend on the account you are on?
The 12-hour window has been tried and sm
tossed at a number of different companies. Reason? It is abused by people (probably not you). They never really manage to get those 8 hours within the 12. That's why companies try it and then decide to scrap it.
...but they have a 24-hour window...
Still may be a good fit if you can fit it in in the early morning or late when kids are asleep.
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
