Are there any companies who offer health benefits to part time employees?
Need insurance.
Anyone checked into Encompass? Think all AAMT members get job offer mailings from them? NM
Thanks. 
They offer PT benefits. They were not my cup of tea
but they do offer them if you live in certain states.


What benefits do they offer..
I have an interview coming up with them and wonder how much PTO you get and what kind of insurance, disability, etc. Thanks!
Does MDI offer benefits?

Can anyone tell me if MDI offers benefits.  Is the work volume still low?  Is there a lot of VR and ESL work?


 


Thanks

The last time I checked they only hired emp. I will check. Thanks! nm

Does anyone think FutureNet will EVER offer benefits? sm
Does anyone think Futurenet will ever offer any benefits?  PTO, free direct deposit without meeting certain line requirements, health coverage for all?  Or do you think they are going to continue what they are offering now?  Has there been ANY WORD of maybe having these in the near future? Just wondering.  Curious of whether or not to possibly take the position.  Would LOVE it if they were planning on offering ANY, if not all, of these...
This is IC pay, and they offer no benefits whatsoever. nm

They are able to offer great benefits...
because they do more than just transcription. And, for clarification, my posts are referring to the supervisor to whom the MTs report directly. Ms. Nasty-for-no-reason-at-all.
What happened to my post? The last time I checked in, there were no responses. sm
I had asked which companies did not require working Saturday or Sunday.  Thanks for your help!
Does TransTech offer insurance benefits? nm
x
They offer similar benefits and they are not as small as you think! sm
I think they are close to 500 employees now.

They also do not lose accounts. I worked for a hospital that went with them and they just renewed for the 2nd time, been with them 6 years now.

I think that MQ is losing the accounts to companies like Keystrokes because of the offshore MQ does!
Does MDI-MD offer employee status, benefits??? SM
I could not find any of this info on their website.  I need to know before applying so I won't waste their time and mine.  Thanks very  much.
11 cpl? I guess that means we won't be able to offer benefits. nm
.No hate mail - just reality that benefits cost BIG BUCKS.
Any companies out there that offer the hospital benefits besides Diskriter
I currently work in-house a hospital but they do not have at-work positions and I would like ot work at home so I wondered if there were other companies and/hospitals that hire at-home MTs with full benefits....besides Diskriter as I have not heard a lot of good news about them and it makes me nervous to apply.
Quote from OP's post: Do they offer the same benefits as Trascend....
nm
Looked on their website but it does not appear that they offer benefits so I am right in assuming
this is not an employee status position?
MDI-FL. Last time I checked their medical insurance for families was expensive. Has that changed or
is it supposed to. I know at one point a recruiter told me they were working on making it more affordable but I never heard anything more. That is a big factor for me. I need affordable insurance for my family. Thanks for any input.
Are there any companies out there that offer benefits to PT employees, such as health insurance?
I know it's a rarity but I know hospitals do.
MDI-ers: Is Instant Text compatible with MDI's platform? Do they offer health benefits? nm
nm
Companies are hardly offer FT employees any decent benefits so I think is going to be rare to find
them for PT employees. I would love that too, unfortunately, I work too much just to get below average benefits. Best of luck in your search. Honestly, I think the only place you'll find benefits for part-timers is going in-house at a hospital.
That's strange. When I received an offer, I thought it was competitive and the benefits were good
especially medical insurance benefits for family. Maybe I did not look at them very close. Could you elaborate on what you were offered? I really thought they were decent pay and benefits.
Thank you. Could you elaborate on the benefits, offer single medical coverage or family, PTO etc...
Thanks
OSi pays on time every time exactly what was quoted on job offer.
Someone is getting really confused here. OSi does pay on time. Pay has always been in accordance to my time sheet that I fill out. If OSi pays only if their accounts pay them, then I must be on one good account that always pays. This is not in any fine print of any papers I have received.
Time & skill is what MT has to offer. Not nitpicking

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. 
they offer 401K for part time
nm
benefits/time off
You mentioned levels, so they pay according to your ability, and depending on your abilities you will get easier or harder doctors to type for?  Are there a lot of ESL?  What about the benefits and starting pays.  Someone said they have BC/BS and it is $75 for single, but my husband is 75 years old, so most likely insurance would be out of this world, and what about PTO to include sick, vacation, and holidays?  Am seriously thinking of a change, but was thinking maybe part time at first, and then if all worked out, going to full time.  However, at this particular moment, I do not have high-speed internet.  We are hoping to have it within the next couple of months though - if they can in between the hills and trees as we are out in the middle of no where.  Thanks.
How about pay/time off benefits? Thanks
nm
Yeah, and do any companies offer PTO for part time?
TIA
Charts in Time benefits..??
Can you tell me what the benefits are like, line rate, insurance costs, PTO time etc..
part time benefits-sm
Does anyone know a company that has benefits for part-time?  I know they are rare, but I remember seeing some, but cannot find them now.  I am not so much interested in insurance as PTO, 401K, etc.
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 offer health insurance for part time?

The only time I work OT, they offer 1-1/2 times my line rate which is OT pay IMO. sm
I rarely, rarely work OT though as I have kids in sports and a husband who works strange hours.
I work part-time for them, so I cannot help you regarding benefits. sm

The pay scale seems a bit on the low side (I started at 0.0825), but you are an employee, so they take out taxes and such, which is a plus for me, and you can raise your rate of pay according to how many lines per hour you type.  I do not have the tier right in front of me, but it is something like 150-170, add .015 per line; 171-215, .035; 216-230, .05; and so on.   I type 300 LPH on my full-time job but cannot seem to average more than 250 at Webmedx, so not sure if it is the way they count lines, or maybe I am just not used to my account yet.  The sound quality on some of the hospitals on my account is absolutely AWFUL, and no one seems to be addressing that, so that is a down side. 


They have their own platform and supply the computers.  Someone said you have the option of using your own computer, but when I asked, they said I had to use theirs, so I don't really know.  I would much prefer mine, but I did get a switch so I only have to use one monitor, keyboard, and mouse.


They charge a $125 deposit for the computer, taken out in installments of $25 per pay period, refundable when you quit and return the computer. 


The pay is direct deposit and always on time. 


I know they have benefits such as medical, dental, and vision, and a 401k, but I do not know the details.


Hope this helps.


Good luck!



Yes, time clock. No insurance or any benefits for parttime.

Great benefits, plenty of work, pay on time
Depending on experience, slightly above-average pay. I used to be with a company where I would have given my right arm for those few simple things. As for the posts below regarding line count, IF this (or any other concern) was affecting my work, there's a new invention called a telephone that comes in handy when wanting to address concerns (and their phone number is on their website).
You will not lose benefits for one time missing quota.
Call your ROM or TL, and they will point you in the right direction. I think you have a full three months to make up your quota.

Transcend is a wonderful company. E-mail me if you want further information.
if you don't need the benefits, i recommend part-time flex...
Part time flex requires 2,000 lines per week minimum, but you can do more if you like. You need to submit a schedule, but some production supervisors are flexible...mine is very flexible.
They do not provide equipment. Platform is DocQScribe and is great.
I have been with MQ for about 7 years, and they have been very good to me. I have great accounts but low work volume on them. Always seem to be overstaffed on my accounts, but that is why I have a backup with another company.
Good luck.
Webmedx - Benefits and Full-Time Status

I'm a bit surprised that I haven't seen any posts regarding the new requirements to be considered full time at Webmedx beginning in 2009 -- 40 hours per week rather than the previous 35 per week.


I guess it doesn't surprise me completely, but I'm not all that happy about it. An extra hour a day of work isn't high on my list of activities I want to add to my day. I already have a hard time fitting everything in.


Anyone else want to share their feelings about it?


just one more question....do they have regular full-time employees with benefits or......sm
just ICs?  Thanks. 
Deventure has never paid benefits to part time folks
Not sure what you are talking about, but there is no difference. Everyone I have spoken to is really excited about the merger with Transcend.
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.
It is perfectly legal. You need to be FT to get benefits. You need 12000 lines to be full time. I
period so there is no issue. Why do some people here try to make everything ugly?

What the person did NOT say is that it is averaged by quarter. So if you do 12,000 lines one time, 15,000 the next and 10,000 the following, it will balance out. They also do not count it against you if your account is slow.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM
,
I checked my QA
and you are right. I don't know who it is tho.
Checked it out
My account doesn't use I-chart, but on a small single chart I counted every character and every space and ended up with 902; divided 65 into that and got 14+.  When I checked my line count later, it was 15.  Did the same with the next one.  It also agrees with the Word Count under Tools.  Checking CTL-S and statistics gives me a higher count, but I think that includes the headers, for which we do not get paid.  It looks fine to me.  I'm not sure about I-Chart.  This is Xpress line counter though, and I don't see anything like skimming.  Maybe you should explain better.
I have checked into 3 different

8 cpl seems to be the going rate for 8 years experience.  However, at one of the nationals, if I worked odd hours of the night, produced over 2000 lines an 8 hr shift I could get paid more than 10 cpl. 


I had already checked...
the archives and the main board but I double checked just to make sure and sure enough there's nothing much there. The few that are recent are my posts, one about the type of platform they use and want ads, that's it. All other posts are around a year old. I read them anyway and it was informative, provided nothing has changed that is. That's why i was really needing someone who currently works there to shed some light.
Not last I checked!
