FutureNet part time - how many hours required? (sm)
I understand they have a high percentage of ESL, willing to do that for flexibility and less than 20 hours per week PT.  I would love just 8-10.  Anyone know if it is worthwhile contacting Futurenet or know any others that hire limited hours PT?
Yes it does, but 35 hours a week is all that is required to be full time and get bennies.

Does anyone know the minimum lines required part time for Amphion? Thanks. nm

Full time with Transtech is both. 40 hours per week and 5500 lines per week.

I used to work for them part-time -- I think 20 hours/week is the minimum. nm
nm
They work with you to make sure you get the lines required or the amount of lines you want...
I have never had a problem getting more work
I would think it is a certain amount of hours or lines a DAY. But not employee, so can't say
:+
Are you required to type 2400 lines in eight hours? Only
aa
MDI-MA does not require a set schedule- you do your required lines in 24 hours. nm
nm
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.


 


I am curious about the amount of money I am making at this time. I make around $700 every week and
I am wondering if this is average or if I am selling myself short as an IC.
Thanks so much. How many lines are required for full time? nm

How many hours in a week do you normally work to get your lines in?
Just curious. I work 50-plus hours here to make it work for our family, would love to cut back
Full time/part time based on # hours or
# lines per pay period, nothing to do with quality. The lower the quality the higher the pay it seems.
6000 lines per pay period (2-weeks) and 20 hours per week that is
Just clarifying.
Full time is 40 hours, and yes they have part-time.
nm
do you know what part-time hours are
I mean what is the minimum - I need a part time to go along with my full time and may even switch completely after I get up to speed.  I am good, been doing this quite a while.  Would work evenings and probably one weekend day.  TIA
HOW DO YOU GET OVER TIME IF YOU DON'T WORK 40 HOURS A WEEK?
That is a great gig you have going. Do you have to work weekends?
I work for Focus part-time
I have worked for Focus for the last nine months. I am part time by choice.  I have always been able to work out any problems that I have had with them. I told them from the beginning that I had heard negative things about their QA and how things were managed.  I was told to let them know if I had problems. I have and they have always taken care of them professionally.  I have always received my pay on time. If you wish to email me, I can tell you the names of that I have dealt with and maybe you can get in touch with them.
Calling on MTs that do part-time for Focus..

Do they just expect you to tell them which days you'll work?  I'm looking for positive feedback on this company although any replies would be nice. 


E-mail if need be, but I'd like to know what the part-time consists of before applying.  I am assuming platform depends on account.  I have 20+ years of experience and am wondering if the pay would be better than where I am currently which is 8 cpl without a raise ever and it is IC status. 


Thanks in advance.


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!
Anybody hiring for part-time ER within a window instead of set hours? TIA. NM

Which companies consider full-time 35 hours per week? THX......nm
nm
Can you tell me how many hours a part time person is allowed to work. Does it specify that at all.
I didnt quite understand that 8, 16 and 24 hour thing. I thought part time as long as you cut off before the full time hours you can work them.
I work at AMphion part-time and make as much there in 20 hours as I do at my FT job in 40
.
700 lines per day IS part time.
That is what I was told.
Anyone know what full time is for KS? Lines or hours? nm
x
Not sure about the 40 hours for full-time, but 11,000 lines per pay sm

period are required.  I think right now they are hiring for Sunday through Thursday or Tuesday through Saturday.  You decide which shift/hours you want to work, and I tihnk they will allow you to do a split shift if you prefer.  There is some flexibility in that you can let them know any changes you need to make, but generally you are expected to work the hours you commit to working. 


The platform is ExText, which is Word-based and very easy to use.  The insurance is very affordable, I think. You have a choice between Aetna or Coventry, and then 3 choices as far as coverage -- ultimate, choice, and standard.  I have choice coverage with Coventry (single plan), and I think it is around $70 per pay period for medical, dental, and vision, with a $750 deductible, $15 copay for office visits.


Hope this helps! 


Can you get "full-time" lines in 24 to 32 hours?
My company didn't ask me how many hours I planned to work, they asked me how many lines I planned to do. I can do full-time lines in part-time hours and that's all they care about.

The good companies are out there. Don't give up.
Now you can not make your lines in 9 hours! More time for 2nd Job.

Any companies with part-time clinic work/daytime hours? Thanks!! nm

Transcend, is full time 40 hours or X lines?
x
I am pretty sure the amount required is fine.
They cannot insist that you work at a certain time.  Requiring a specific TAT is also fine.
Any info on what is full time for DRC? Hours or lines? Any flexibility? 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? 
I love it. Got my full-time lines first week.
First time in years I am back to making my old money again. A good match for me, at least. IMHO. Been in the business over 26 years and I like it a lot. Can see acct. specs while typing, samples, have normals and inserts, etc. Never a problem and that was from day 1. And I am not a recruiter, I am an MT who has been around the block enough times to know a good think when I have it and to stay put. Good luck to you.
Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm
x
First, what kind of time frame are we talkin? 6000 lines in a week?

I ask because 6 cpl is horrible and if they expect you to produce 12,000 lines in a week in order to get 9 cpl, well that's just nuts.


But I digress, you original question was should you continue to work when you do not have access to your line count --> NO!  And the fact that you are getting the run around should be sending up red flags.


Now you couple that with the 6 cpl and I would have to say this place you work at sucks!


Why would anyone work 8 hours a week. The poster above said 16 or 24 hours a week.
:
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.
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.

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.
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. 


 


You will be required to work set hours.
:
Well, I have a biz phone and biz hours that I am required to keep.
Your situation obviously is different than mine.
Required hours for IC work~~curious

I keep seeing ads where you are required to submit a schedule and work scheduled hours for IC positions.  Is this legal?  I thought that was an IRS requirement of independent contractors that you do your work on your own time.  Am I wrong?  It seems like the industry is headed in this direction.  Companies don't want to hire employees and don't want to pay taxes either..  I guess I can understand that, but I am not sure how they can get away with it.


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.
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.
Oh, yeah, NOT fair to those TransTech MT's who are REQUIRED to work a certain # of hours per mont
on weekends!  Tell us how you managed to talk TT mgmt into that favor for you!   Oh, no, another TT fav !!!
You're wrong. You are not required to work one weedend day a week.

Silent - how many lines required per page
I forgot to ask how many lines are on one page with them.  Are there any suggestions needed to know ahead of time?
