Do you prefer Nationals or Independent MTSO

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.
Time clock
I just recently started with them and so far it has not been a problem for me at all. I have kids as well and was worried about that too. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions. 
PTO/time clock
PTO is lower than average per pay period. Clocking in and out is a pain. It does take a long time to get in your 8 hours. Nice people. Lots of ESL.
No time clock
You just enter in your line counts each day on the employee intranet and submit them at the end of the pay period. I don't really even have a set schedule, but I tend to work afternoons and evenings. I have 2 ER accounts and bounce between the 2 and make excellent lines. My accounts are both internet-based, so I don't have to have unlimited long distance service. I couldn't imagine working someplace where you had to punch a time clock! That would drive me crazy!
TT time clock
No time clock, but have to keep schedule. Not extremely strict, flexible.
time clock
We do not have to punch a time clock at DeVenture. That is why I accepted a position with them.
Other companies with time clock? Thanks. nm
? re WebMedX time clock, please. sm
Are they picky that you must punch in to the minute you are scheduled, or are they flexible that they just want you to punch in when you work, not necessarily to the minute of your schedule?
I'm not sure I can go back to a time clock either. I don't have a problem punching when I work, I just have a problem sticking to a very specfic schedule.
Webmedx Time clock
Is the Time Clock for Webmedx really all that bad? They seem good otherwise - just concerned about working at home w/toddler on that type of strict time clock...
Webmedx ??- Time Clock/PTO
I thought I read somewhere that at Webmedx you have to punch in and out for such things as looking up a medical term or using the restroom; is this the case? Also, I know they get 6 holidays, but is there any vacation time or sick time during the first year or 2? Any info appreciated as it sounds like a great place. THANKS!
Does Wedmedx have a time clock? nm
nm
and the question about the time clock,
that should have been a yes or no answer -- but a whole paragraph that left me still not knowing the answer, and BTW, THAT was an important one for me.
Regarding Time Clock at Transcend...
I saw some of you asking downthread about how schedules work at Transcend.
Please note this could have changed since I was hired, or the MDI-ers may be getting a different set of rules regarding this, but barring those two things:
You're expected to work an 8-hour day with one weekend day. I was allowed to choose the shift I would work (say 9a to 5p) when first hired, but after you choose you have to stick to that schedule. I believe you are allowed to choose a split shift (say 4a to 8a and then 4p to 8p, etc), but once you give them the schedule you've chosen, that's what you have to work.
To be fair, I do think they're somewhat flexible in terms of emergencies or things planned ahead of time - if you'd rather work 8a to 4p for a couple of days, for example, you won't get too much static from your TL if you inform them ahead of time.
However, you can NOT commit to a certain amount of lines per 24 hour period and do them anytime within that time frame, the old school IC way. You have to have a set schedule of hours and work those hours for the most part.
What are you talking about time clock?
I have worked for Transcend for 5 years since the MDI-FL merger and there is no time clock. Where did you guys get that idea?
Time clock isn't bad. You quickly get used to it. No big deal. sm
I find them pretty flexible, but you do have to work your total required hours.
There's no time clock but the leads monitor who is on and who isn't. sm
The account I am on has very strict shifts because of being radiology. I have heard that others are more flexible.
I dont have a problem with the time clock. sm
Actually I don't have any trouble getting in my time; I have a 38-hour schedule and put in probably 39 hours of clock-in time to get that. The thing is - you need to clock out when you do research or if you are surfing the 'net; otherwise it brings down your LPH average. I have a 12-hour window in which to get my time and my manager NEVER bugs me about when in that 12-hour period I am working.
I've no experience of a time clock either.
I think perhaps they mean the requirement to be assigned a set shift and stick to it.
But there's nothing remotely resembling a time clock... we just sign onto our platform and dive right in.
As an ex-TRS employee I still have the instant messenger, and I do sign into that when I'm working, but it's not a requirement; it's more of a courtesy to our co-workers, so we know who's around, especially if we need to ask a question.
My first day on the job at TRS I instant-messaged my supervisor and said do I have to sign in or let somebody know I'm here, and she said no, just log onto the platform and start working.
Of course, if they really want to track our logged-in time, the platform can keep track of all that.
But again... no, there's no time clock per se, nothing even close.
Need help with Webmedx's time clock. I am contemplating a position sm
with them and right now I have to clock in and out and hate it. I wonder if I'm jumping right back into the same situation as I was told they, too, have a time clock. After being an IC for so many years, I really hate this.
So, how is it? Do you find that Webmex is a little flexible at least? I just don't know if I should keep looking or what. Thanks so much for anyone with experience with their time clocks!
Yes, time clock. No insurance or any benefits for parttime.

I'm with you on the Wedmedx time clock. Not sure it would work out for me...too many distruptions
my day to clock in and clock out for every little thing. Thanks..
Anyone use TimeTrax as a time clock? Easy, hard,

Any input, time clock, expander program, LPH, etc.?
Hi,
Curious about the platform used, LPH or weekly requirement, timeclock or timesheet, sound quality, work types. Do you get your preferred work types. Are you on only one primary account with backups, working primary mostly? Is ShortHand compatible?
Thanks for any info.
How many companies do not require you to fill out a time clock? NM
Thanks.
MDI-MD has a 24-hour window, no time clock to punch

I agree, the nonanswer about time clock was important to me too. NM
There is a time clock, but LPH is easy to achieve and bonus is not done by that any longer. SM
Much better than E-time, if that's what the Evil Q still uses. No worries.
I know Webmedx has a time clock - with MQ I put laundry in, got coffee, loaded DW (sm)
went to the bathroom, etc. without clocking out and still kept my lines per hour up just fine. With Webmedx do you clock out for all these little things or as long as you get lines per payperiod or per hour it works out?
Also...do you have to clock out any time you leave the computer, i.e. to answer the door, go to the

A good mix. I don't mind ESL docs. I think that some U.S. docs are worse! nm

Again, MTSO can say I need XX job by XX time and
x
An MTSO can say I need these lines by this time, and you, as an IC, either say yes or no.
:+
This saves MTSO time also. SM
Why would MTSO want to waste their time scoring my test and starting the interviewing process, only for me to say no thank you when I find they don't offer DD or they pay ridiculously low pay or they use a platform I hate. I would think they would want to know before getting into the time consuming process if there is a chance I want to work for them. The whold hirinng process isn't just about what the MTSO wants, it is also about what I want.
Why pay on time if MTs will work for an MTSO..
...withtout a fuss and deliver on time? Of course, this is completely wrong and unethical but how some folks think. Even if you made a fuss, they'd probably just get someone else who made less of a fuss. They will pay on time when 1) they can't get any more qualified MTs to work for them (word gets out), and or 2) paying late starts affecting their bottom line (MTs hit them with late fees) Just IMO...
Note to any MTSO who does not pay on time SM
You are going to lose your good people. Do not go blaming the account for not paying you. That is not our problem. We entered into an agreement with YOU. You should have working capital to pay your ICs. We are truly more like employees but you get away with not paying our social security and other perks by calling us ICs. We don't get paid for Christmas or any other holiday, we don't get a Christmas bonus, we don't get paid sick days or vacation. There are no pension plans. We work our fingers to the bone, don't take phone calls during our work time, and we give our best to the job. All we ask is to be paid. If you cannot manage your business to come up with pay, do not expect the talented workers to stick around. Then see how much your account wants to pay you when you have only the desperate left working for you.
MTSO says I need X lines by X time and will pay X cpl. IC says either "yes, I can" or
:+
"Taking up valuable time of MTSO." You're digging deep now!

I have Verizon Freedom too...may
I ask why it won't work for you any longer?
Anyone know anything about Freedom Type
I am getting gun shy with MT companies after 2 bad experiences and have just applied to Freedom Type. They sound very nice but so did the others. I am just trying to find out if anyone here knows of them and how they are to work for. Thanks.
Freedom Type
I love working for Freedom Type!! The owner is terrific and QA extremely competent. The work itself is fairly straightforward. I am glad to be part of this team!
Freedom Type
I have found these people VERY easy to work. I don't find QA demanding either. They pretty much just leave you alone to do the work. There's also a good support system. Lots of integrity with this company.
FREEDOM TYPE
Hello out there! Would anyone have any info on this company? Any info appreciated! They are running an ad on one of the other transcription sites.
TIA!
FREEDOM TYPE
Well thank you Very Much for your response!
Freedom Type - sm
Can anyone tell me how the work is done? Do you have a platform? Do you continuously type or do you have to save out each patient?
Thanks.
IC here too and love the freedom but
consultant that helps you know what to write off. There are so many write-offs that I don't see tax time as a killer.
Freedom Type
Does anyone have any information regarding working for Freedom Type? Thank you very much.
