World Wide
I have heard of World Wide in NJ, but not in NY. If it is the same company, they now also call themselves Metro. If this is the same company, I don't how much work they have right now, but I do know they are nice to work for, nice people, office manager is very nice.
Metro is not the same as World Wide
World Wide is located in Yonkers, NY. I have been in their office on many occasions over the past 5 years, and it is by far the most bizarre place I have ever had to deal with in my business. I dread going there. The brother and brother-in-law are literally crazy. The transcriptionists look worn out. Just recently they have set up a new business to offshore to India - so they may be starting to wean out US transcriptionists. I would never say this about anyone because I do understand that reputation is very important, but I honestly have no idea how these guys have held their head above water for almost 10 years. It truly is a bizarre office.
World Wide Dictation
Does anybody have any info. on World Wide Dictation in NY? Good or bad? Thanks!
World-Wide Dictation
Does anyone know anything about a company named World-Wide Dictation located in Ardsley, New York?
World Wide Dictation?
Anyone familiar with this company? Good or bad?
Has anyone heard of World Wide Dictation in NY?
If so, how are they to work for? Do they usually have enough work? Can you work part time? TIA!!
World Wide Dictation has an ad on MT Daily
for insurance claims transcriptionists. I tried Googling them and found them to be in Ardsley, NY.
If I had an icon I'd insert a wide grin here!
Ditto that! :)
Anybody get hired by World Wide Dictation and how is going so far? nm

I sure agree with you about the lousy communication. It seemed to be a company wide

Our company offers a wide variety schedule
There are even folks that work both weekend days by choice. I don't see what the big deal is really. If an offered schedule doesn't suit you and the company is not willing to compromise, look somewhere else. There are a lot of options out there.
The S-Th/T-Sa scheduling must work just fine for the employers offering it or they wouldn't do it. Simple as that.
To the person who heard back from World Wide Dictation sm
Have you heard anymore-got hired? I have a friend who applied and has not heard a word! She is not an MT (it said no experience) however, she has many years of doing insurance claims and would like to find something from home to do.

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.

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.

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 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.
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.
can you handle a 12-hour window?
Our company is offering a bonus right now, as they are taking on a couple of new accounts. It depends on so much, because where I find them great to work for, others have not.
I have been here about six months, and have never had one issue about scheduling; however, I do work the days I have committed to, just that they have a 12-hour window in which to do it. My supervisor has also never bothered me for the occasional flexibility, and one of the administrators even told me to go ahead and work however I want on the weekend, whether it is Saturday or Sunday.
You do punch a timeclock, but after I got used to it, it only has helped me as you actually make a bonus for lines/hour, which if you clock in an out say an hour at a time, you get can that pretty high.
There is a lot of ESL, but plenty of help and information to help you...
Please feel free to E if you need to...
Thanks.
a 1-hr window is NOT flexibility in my book.

Companies allowing window...
Thanks all for the responses
TRS allowed a 12-hour window to do
an 8-hour shift, at least they did last year. I only worked there a month, though.
24 hour window to do work?
Are there companies who do not require a strict schedule to get your work done, so you have a little flexibility to work your hours in a day?

I didn't even know there is a 12 hour window.
Thank you so much for your information. I am really hoping it will be a good change. I just really want something that I like that I can stay with for the next 40+ years :)
MDI-MD has 24-hour window, SE status
No benefits but they hold out some taxes and you take care of the rest. They give you a 24-hour window to do a set amount of lines that you commit to ahead of time for that particular day. Extra work above that is usually allowed if you want to as long as your account isn't low.
I don't understand - she wants you to work a certain 8 out of your 12 hr window? (sm)
I tend to work about the same schedule each day, but if I have something come up like Dr. appointment for my mom or something I am truly grateful for that 12 hour window. Have NEVER been told to stick to a certain schedule within that.
Medscribe - 12-hour window
Anyone working for Medscribe? How strict are they about 12-hour window? What if you get a late start and need to work past the 12-hour window? Is that a problem? TIA!
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.
