Part-time with benefits? sm
I currently work 30 hours as an IC, but I am looking for a different company that has benefits. Are there any companies that hire part-time (30 hours a week or less) and have benefits?
Thanks so much!
part time employees do get benefits
I would like to say after 2 years at walmart a part time employee may get health insurance for themselves only not their family and they do not get dental at all. I know I have been with Walmart 8 years and I have also been a MT for 3 years.
hospitals will allow you benefits if you work part time sm
They will cost you a little but still a HUGE savings on paying all on your own.
MQ part-time benefits do NOT include medical/dental. Nm

I don't buy that. Benefits should be part of being an employee. sm
Why else would one want to be an "employee" and be required to work certain hours if not for the benefits. I work for a mid-sized company, and we get paid for stated holidays plus PTO. We must ask for the day off, but we get paid either way. If we choose to work the holiday, we get holiday plus plus our line rate pay. However, I don't find our PTO generous since sick time, downtime, and vacation time is all rolled into PTO.
Does anyone know if you are a part time employee for 1 company and part time IC for another can you
still claim deductions for IC on your income tax even though you are one of each.
Depends on how part time the part time jobs are.
You can do it. You just have to work out a schedule you can live with.
Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
full-time in office/ part-time at home
I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
I made over 26,000 this year...
full time, part time, statutory
newly defined full time...
newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)
I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
full time/part time/statutory
The definition of full time is new.
There is a new classification called part time.
I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

Your insurance benefits will be effective through the period of time you have paid them which...sm
could be the end of the week or the end of the month or the day that the company calls the insurance company to cancel them. You cannot depend on thinking if you quit in the middle of the month you will be covered through the end of the month. You have to find out exactly from your company. Also for COBRA benefits you are eligible for up to 18 months or perhaps longer in special circumstances but yes you have to pay the premium all by yourself, the company doesn't chip in at all. The plus side is you are still in a group plan. You cannot get individual insurance unless you have NOTHING at all wrong with you, no high blood pressure, no depression, nothing. It is very important to not have a lapse in coverage greater than 60 days. If you do, you will lose coverage for any preexisting conditions when you go to your next GROUP insurance (this is the other part of HIPAA - portability). If for example you are covered for high blood pressure and you don't choose COBRA and your insurance lapses for more than 60 days, when you get on the next group plan, they will not cover your high blood pressure M.D. visits or medications for up to 1 year.
You can get relatively cheep individual coverage if you choose a high deductible, to carry you through. That is, if you can get it. Good luck.
part-time or full-time
I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
1 full time and 1 part time for now
I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
Only if they're paying 20+ per/hr with cheap benefits, 401K, and generous vacation time.

Part time
I work part time from home, and I graduated about 7 months ago. It fine doing part time, just don't expect to make any money.
part time
I was told I had to work 20 hours minimum and there was no maximum. Since I'm paid by the line, I could work 100 hours a week if I wanted.
Why don't you try getting a part-time job? Try

Don't want a part time job
I was hired as a fulltime employee; I have benefits and want to keep them. What kind of benefits do you have for parttime; not what I have now that is for sure.
We want to work. Yes it seems like we are complaining a lot but you just do not understand what is going on and obviously do not work for MQ and until you do or are in our shoes kindly do not respond to us. We are letting each other know what is going on on this board because management does not care no matter how much complaining we do.
Many of us have quit already and more and more are going out the door.
All we want to do is work and be treated like human beings and not machines.
Part-time job
I need a part time job but I can't work more than 10-15 hours a week. Is there any such animal? Everyone I have contacted wants me to work 20 hours.
TIA
$12/hr QA, IC, part-time
will be working on VR tech, I believe. Is it worth trying?
I will look for a part time
i liked this one, but oh well, if they are taking my money......well they claim to have so much new work coming in. I don't think they are in financial trouble, just being cheap.
part-time
I know from my experience that the smaller companies do not follow the same AAMT style as nationals, rather notes are typed the way the doctor wants it. You should have some examples. Talk to someone there before you leave. I bet in the end it will be a lot less stress!!
I do part-time
I purchased a laptop mainly for when we go RVing in the summer as sometimes I receive a lot of work (on tape) from my own local account and instead of needing to stay home so I can complete it by Monday I can now go camping and work and do my work. However, at home, I mainly use my laptop for my on-line job. My laptop has more RAM than my regular PC and everything seems faster on, so I prefer using my laptop.
I am waiting for the new ExpressCard to hit the market from Verizon (or Sprint) and hope to sign up for their unlimited Internet pkg. which will be faster than the dial-up that I currently have (which is all that is available to me), then I can actually do my on-line job (live on a platform) when away from home on my laptop as well if need be. I did check with the tech dept. of the software program and was told that I could connect to their platform this way. My laptop did not come with a PC card slot, just the new ExpressCard slot that all laptops will be made with in the future (is my understanding).
Do you have any particular questions about using a laptop for work???
Part-time job
Part-time weekends at a local hospial as a unit secretary.
Part-time
Bascially trying to read docs handwriting and ordering labs, scans, etc through the computer, answering phones, helping nurses (placing a calls to doctors, ordering different tests, etc) It sounds like an easy job, but there is a lot to learn and trying to read doctors handwriting is a pain. After ordering all of these tests, and all of the medications have to be documented on the nurse's bedside for that patient. A lot of work for little pay!
Looking For Part Time
I am looking for part-time. Could that be the problem? Is there just not a need for experienced MTs right now?
I have a very part time job.
I do between 30-45 minutes a day.
$25K part time
I work around 24 hours a week and will make $25K this year. Would have been more, but I stopped trying during the summer while still working at MQ.
Part-time job
This is basically a vent--I've decided I need to look for another job. Two months ago I took an inhouse job (4 hours per day) at a orthopedic surgeons' group with the understanding that after a period of time this could be a full-time position. But nothing has been said lately about that. The office is moving the week after Christmas to a newer building. I've been told the cubicle I'll be in is still just a one-person setup. They have another lady who comes in for 4 hours in the morning and has been doing this for about 7-8 years.
She is on vacation for 2 weeks and I'm coming in for my 4 afternoon hours. I don't think I can keep the transcription caught up, even though the patient load has decreased some. (This is a 10-doctor practice.) I've wondered if I should ask to come in full days while the other person is on vacation. Should I just wait and see how far behind I get before asking?
I don't want to burn any bridges even though I'm looking for a full-time job. On the other hand, frankly, I believe they are being cheap because the other Transcriptionist is paid by-line and, of course, she isn't paid while on vacation! Your thoughts would be appreciated--I'm losing sleep worrying about getting so far behind.
Oh, also part-time

I could use a second part-time job too...sm
I really love where I work but not enough work to make enough money. I don't quite have a year exp and most places want at least 2 years so it isn't easy to get a second job. Oh well maybe they can give me another account so I will have more work. Actually I was supposed to have been trained about a month ago for another account and I keep getting put off by the head MT who does the training. I hate to go to the owner and seem like a whiner but I am getting annoyed.
Part time IC
Dream on girl. Wouldn't we all love what you are looking for? With your experience, you could easily get a job with a company working fulltime and have the benefits also (you have that?) From what I have seen, evenings, nights and weekends is what they are looking for and many do not hire parttime anymore. Hook, line and sinker is the name of the game these days.
Part-time
I don't know why it seems employers are demanding full-time only, but have you asked any of them what their minimum line count for full-time would be? Perhaps if you explained that you could meet that in 32 hours instead of 40, they might be willing to listen?
Most places that do take part-timers tend to insist that you commit to at least 20 hours. How many hours per week are you looking for?
Have you thought about going directly to doctor's offices and such and offering your services as an independent contractor?
Good luck!
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
I did and got it....$1000 for part-time.

Are there any companies who pay part-time
Just wondering.
Why isn't part time not working for you?
Hope you don't mind my asking why Spheris part time is not working out for you? Thanks. Just want to know what I could be getting into.
part-time work
www.thomastx.com - Hope to hear from you soon. Dee
They hire part-time too. sm
There are at least 5 people on my team who are part-time.
Looking for part-time position
 position but is not. Any ideas of anyone hiring part-time. Pathology, Internal medicine, clinic, but no OP reports.
Every weekend, part time though.
So about 10 hours total usually.
If you are only looking to work part-time (sm)
why not put an ad in the yellow pages for a word processing or typing service? Typing is becoming outdated and I wouldn't waste the time and money on school. Besides it takes a long time to get up to speed.
I'm the one who posted below about seeking medical care. So now I have a nerve compression in the neck after years of being hooked up to a machine typing. So the time deadlines add to the stress and do not help either. I will try to enjoy my early retirement, I'm pretty young for a nerve compression.
Tax assistance - I am a part-time IC but also have...sm
a full-time job with benefits and employee status. The IC job I just accepted and expect to make around $300 a month filling in for vacationing MTs/excess work. I usually make around $50,000 with the full-time employer and am married with 2 kids.
How do I figure out if I need to file estimated taxes especially since I'm not a full-time IC and have taxes being deducted from the main employer? Most of the information I see on the IRS website seems to relate to only if you're just self-employed. I don't want to over-pay taxes but don't want to risk getting penalized if I don't send payments in and need to when it comes tax time next April.
Can you go part-time at the hospital and
try PT with an online company to test the waters? I'm currently PT with a hosp because it's not in the budget to add staff at this time, so I researched and accepted a position with an online company. So far, it's working out well.
$15.00-$18.00 for part-time is fair.
Part-Time Work?
I am interested in training as an MT and would only want to work PT. Is it realistic to think this is possible?
My husband already has great benifits so that is not an issue. And I do not need full-time income, just enough so he does not have to travel so much.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
I believe TT hires part time. Try them.

$24K part-time with three months of
unemployment in there. Using a word Expander and having decent accounts really helps.
