Any companies looking for part time QA
I'm interested in working a part time IC position (day shift) that pays a decent hourly rate. If you know of someone looking for people, please let me know.
I work for 3 companies part time and....
don't have any work either. I made $50 in two weeks for one company, $40 for the other and $300 for the third. What a joke!! I do have to make a living to pay our house payment. I have been at this for almost 20 years....so SAD!!
Are there any companies that offer part-time
employee status? I am looking to work certain days of the week, but I'd like part-time employee status? Is there anyone that is currently in that type of situation that could steer me in the right direction? I have a lot experience and am very reliable. Thanks in advance for any help in this regard. I appreciate my fellow MTs and their opinions count in my book.
Any companies hiring part-time?
I need flexibility. Willing to do a certain number of lines every pay period. I started with MedScribe of NJ and already they run out of work and seem to be dodging my emails about a secondary account. Afraid I made a bad choice.....
Are there any companies besides Amphion that hire part-time
I need a company that allows you to make your lines without demanding that you be on from this second to that second. If it's part-time it's obviously because you have other things to do and your life doesn't revolve around a set schedule. If I can get my work done at 3AM so why would that bother anybody?
Is there a company that doesn't mind when you work as long as you meet your quota and are accurate?
Are most part-time jobs with companies a few hours every day or are there
jobs that exist where you can work a few days during the week? If you can help, thank you!
Yeah, and do any companies offer PTO for part time?
TIA
Are there any good companies that hire part time?
I have two years of acute care experience, and I need a part-time job to supplement my current income. If everything works out, I will need to go to full time in March. At this time, I can only work Friday and Saturday nights.
I have been applying to several companies, but they keep giving me the run around. One company even told me I did very well on their test and that I was put in a pool of transcriptionists to be contacted. The recruiter called me once, and I missed her call. I called her back and left a message, but I have not heard anything else from her.
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!

Can anyone recommend companies that offer IC status, part time?
Any good ones out there for IC's? Part time?
Does Spheris offer IC status?
Any help appreciated!
Any companies letting part-timers buy in on the health insurance? sm
Just wondering if there are any transcription companies where you can work 20 or 25 hours a week and get in on the health insurance plan even if you have to pay the whole premium yourself? Thanks

Any companies offer part-timers chance to buy into group insurance? need coverage ....
I've been looking at prices for solo medical insurance and while I can probably afford some coverage, I'm feeling rather paranoid about having insurance canceled if I actually get sick -- I'm fairly ignorant about what protections may have been passed and may just be responding to other people's horror stories.
Anyway, I'm not entirely sure I want to work full time for any of the nationals ... they seem to have gotten awfully rigid wrt daily line counts within certain fixed hours ... some days I'm simply creaky and hate feeling pressured ... so part time to start seems more reasonable than jumping in with both feet. Any infor or recommendations appreciated ...
Thanks!
Which companies offer PTO for part time employee status, along with contributing 401K, shift....sm
 differentials, and incentive based pay plan? I think I covered it all. Mostly looking for PTO as a part time employee. Thanks for your replies.
OH - I thought part transcription, part escription, but don't know for sure

They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
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.
There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
Yes I know they hire part time because I referred someone there for part time.
They are internet based.
From what I understand, the part-time positions will be only be for those that are already part-time
It is not a restructuring of the company, just of some of the existing part-time positions.
I know that there are a few employees who have been with Keystrokes for many, many years who are part-time and they will not displaced.
Other than that, there have been many discussions why there will not be any new part-time employees hired, and I really don't think they will back down on that.
TransTech and Medware, are these companies considered large, medium-sized or small companies? (sm)
TIA
Yikes.. That is only inline with companies like Focus and such. "Real" companies pay their MTs
decent rate. I make over 5 cpl editing. So, if I got that slap in the face, I'd be outta there.
Do the research...most companies, and not just MT companies, do not pay for maternity leave...
we get time off but not paid...and I really don't even understand the point of you posting this...
How do you know which companies are Nationals and which are smaller companies.
Is there a list somewhere? I'm new to this.
By "most of the companies", I meant MORE than MT companies.
clarification
Sten-Tel is the platform. Different companies use it, pay and how companies run are different. nm
:P
Okay, I get that part but... sm
aren't our IP addresses available only to the board administrators?
Or was the OP trying to say that the board administrators have a vested interest in this particular company... and keeping this particular company's name clean??? (If that's the case, I won't act surprised when my post is deleted... but I'm new here and I honestly have no idea who has loyalty to a particular MTSO, or not...)
This is part of the UAW
I am not sure this is a good bet for MTs. There are some benefits but I do not see that you get the full tilt of auto worker benefits .. not by a long shot. Keep in mind too that many employers of MTs .. most particularly hospitals go bonkers over the mere whisper of the word union. The other thought that strikes me is that the auto workers are in more dire straits than we are .. so how good is this union thing after all?
well, part of their ad says they pay
9-11 cpl, so some MTs ARE getting the 11 cpl and it has to be for a good reason (i.e., high producer, dependable, versatile, longevity, etc.).
it's probably this part of it...sm
necessary decision in order for them to move forward and achieve their new goals for 2008
What the hey? What do you mean I was a part of it? sm
It's not much of a secret where I work now (TransTech).
this part got me....
For those who have had a bad experience, I suggest giving it another try.
Aiya!!
For the most part
I used to work for them. Communication was kind of lacking, but I have seen worse. The work was relatively easy, and the pay was average, and I always got paid on time
Looking for part-time
I am looking for a part-time or IC (part-time hours) transcription position with flexible hours. If anyone can direct me to specific companies who may consider this, I would really appreciate your help.
looking for part time
Webmedx used to hire part time and they are looking for people. Also look up Amphion on the web. they are in Wisconsin.They have hired part time in the past, may still be looking - nice people, steady company.
See, that's part of the problem.
I'm not saying "all negative posts are bad." The ones giving specific details can be VERY helpful.
It's just that usually no one comes here just to say "I love Company Name" (or if they do they get flamed). OTOH, people do come here to post "I HATE COMPANY NAME" - sometimes giving reasons and sometimes not.
In addition, when opinions are requested on a particular company, the negative posts saying "It sux. NoMessage" outweigh any positive posts 3:1 - and again, positive posts are frequently flamed.
Bottom line - I think the overall viewpoint here is slightly skewed towards the negative.
Not crazy on their part
money, money, money. What I think is crazy is MTs putting up with it. Life is too short to sit at the keyboard 24/7 trying to get enough work to pay the light bill.
Yes it is crazy on their part
What happens when you put a bunch of people on an account they don't know and could care less about and can't make money on? The account is soon lost. Seems to me the company is cutting its own throat doing business this way. Any bonuses the managers make better be wisely invested for when they are out on their butts because there aren't any accounts left.
Now that part about ESL is very true. However, I
have never worked for a company that did not have a lot of ESL. It is just part of the job. Honestly now, for MTs that cannot learn them, then they should not be in this business. More and more of our physicians are ESL and we must learn to deal with it. As far as the emails for today, I have received 3 thus far. None were remotely rude or anything. As far as grammar/spell check in the emails, that does not bother me. As long as they get their point across, it is fine. They are just quick notes, just like anyone would write at an office and honestly, I would hate to know someone had to read my handwriting. 
Oh sure, I'm the CEO and I own a bank, and part of the
London Bridge, and all that good stuff. SHEESH! You all ask for some good things about the company, but through your crystal ball you see the future. I still say, go ahead and leave...you'll find out soon enough that all is not well with other companies. I know - I've BTDT. EVERY company has editing positions now - it's the next phase of transcription, but never ever will ALL transcription be done by this method. I will continue to transcribe with a POSITIVE attitude, while you and your "Current Transcender" buddy leave and live with a NEGATIVE attitude. Good luck to you!
What part of the above message did you

Anyone taken the transcription part of NTS
National Transcription Services test? This is one of those mttest.com things so probably isn't representative of their dictation, but good grief.
The worst part is...
I've been there a long time, took their crap, worked extra when asked, always had quality above 98.5, always made my line count, worked the last 2 months straight because they were behind, now there is hardly any work, worked all the major holidays for the last 2 years and this is how they repay that kind of loyalty. It makes me sad and I feel like a fool for being used for so long. All I want to do is type and do a good job. It won't be rewarded there unfortunately. I'm worried about going from the frying pan to the fire but it can't get worse than the above can it?
can any part-timers tell me...
If you have requested time off without pay in the past and if it was at all a problem?
Part time
Another point is when the hospitals outsource and MTs lose their jobs, this is another area where the MT loses! When we were outsourced a year ago, the hospital tried to really pat themselves on the back and, instead of just being honest and saying it was all about money, they tried to say they made their outsourcing choice based on how important it was that we get comparable benefits to what we had. Yeah right! In this area any part-time hospital employee gets PTO and even more importantly they are able to participate in insurance at a higher rate, but still a great deal compared to buying it privately. I always felt the benefits were the trade off for the so, so salary with the 3% cap on raises over the years.
Yes. I'm part-time, and I was able to
pick my shift. No nights or weekends unless requested, no C-phone, very rare downtime. Most importantly, the staff is available for questions, but otherwise leaves you alone to work. I have no ESLs in the account I'm on. No place is perfect, but they're definitely worth considering.
Part time
Part time is 3000 lines a wk, 6000 in a 2-wk pay period, minimum of 20 hours. I've not had problems being flexible but you do commit to set hours. Have had some sparce times lately but so has my other account elsewhere. I do agree you do not always get all your questions answered. They are worth a try. I've had my issues but will stick around for now.
