Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm
nm
They have the accounts set up so that we can BARELY get our minimum lines required in.
If I want to camp out for 15 hours a day as I wait for work to trickle in I can make more. :-(
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?
I used to work for them part-time -- I think 20 hours/week is the minimum. nm

Thanks so much. How many lines are required for full time? nm

I just joined Amphion. It's only part-time for now, but
I did this to save my sanity and to make a little extra money. It seems to have the best press. If they are as good as they seem to be, I'll be thrilled to join on full time.

I am curious about that Bayshore software at MDI-MD, tho!


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?


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.
Amphion hires part-time - they're very strict schedule-wise though
Since part time is so hard to find these days your options are limited, so if you don't mind working for a company that is a stickler for strict schedule adherence, I say try Amphion.
what is the minimum QA score required

Thanks!


I have no problem getting more than the required minimum -- nm

At TransHealth, once you meet your minimum required line count...sm

(I believe it is 11,000 for full-timers), there are levels for every x number of lines above your minimum,and you get extra cpl for those lines.  It is incremental, so the more you transcribe above your minimum, the higher your cpl.  It can boost your paycheck by $500 if you really haul.  They also pay a weekend differential of extra cpl for weekend work.


I think most companies work that way.  Bonus pay is usually an increase in cpl when you exceed your minimum. 


I've not had much experience with incentive pay prior to TransHealth - so there may be many other ways that bonus pay is given.  Works for me though.


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
Minimum lines for FT used to be 60,000 keystrokes a day, about 925 lines. Pay was good. Just not a

Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback.  Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program.  My pay is what they said.  They do have different pay for different levels. 
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.
What are minimum PT hours for Amphion?
.
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.
FT/PT? Minimum lines? Thank you. nm

minimum lines for ICs
You have to watch it with MedScribe. I am not a lazy person, just a single dad, but when my production dropped a little low for just a short time last month they ended my contract like BAM! And no second chance. So after half a year of high quality Rad work for them now I am looking again.
Couldn't Amphion be held liable for minimum wage
I'm just sayin'
Think it was a minimum of 60,000 keystrokes a day, equiv. to about 925 lines? That was a while ago.
s
Very difficult and they raised the minimum lines per wk. nm

With Transtech, how easy is it to get your minimum lines
nm
You pay more for insurance if you don't make minimum lines also sm
I left there because of this exact issue. I started having a harder and harder time getting my lines, meaning I got a reduced line rate and had an extra $95-100 on top of that taken out because they didn't pay the employer matching part of the insurance.
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?
Been working almost 2 months now and almost at required lines. (sm)

Taking me longer to get used to program than I had anticipated.  I know we have 90 days to actually make the grade, but am getting slightly worried.  No one has called me on it, but I am sooo nervous.  I am not a newbie, but maybe I am getting too old to learn new programs/etc. 


Of course, checking the boards while I am working is not exactly helping me. I realize that and am only doing so on breaks now.  Any helpful hints? 


How do you get your required lines if there was no work at DSG or Keystrokes. Is
that a problem with them if there is no work or what do you do.  Thanks!
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.
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
Make sure you ask what the required lines per day is. Could be 1200-1800 or higher. nm
s
Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?
x
Well, what do they do when people dont meet their required lines due to no work. Most ridiculous
thing I ever heard of.  Overhire and then I expect MTs are to work 24/7 to get in required lines.  Nothing like making a total fool out of people.  Hardly worth making minimum wage now is it.
Told minimum PT was 3500 lines a week; requires 2 weekend days a month nm

Generally the length of time you are required to keep sm
records on file for a former client is codified in your contract with them.
Full-time MTs, what LD company do you use for work (if LD is required, of course) ?
nm
I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time?  I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to.  If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info.  Thanks!
Yes it does, but 35 hours a week is all that is required to be full time and get bennies.
.
Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm
nm
Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
Saw this on their website.
i work 3 part-time jobs now. it can be confusing if you are learning both at the same time, but sm
other than that not a problem for me. best to get one down before starting to other or you might become overwhelmed.
MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm
nm
I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it.  I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that?  I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life).  Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything.  I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family.  At least my dogige understands. 
Amphion Lines
I think the only account you can reach that goal on is the UW account, because all of their demographics load automatically.
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.
Solution: Find another job, part time or full time.
Post your resume, hope for the best.
Depends on how flexible you need to be and if full-time or part-time
They are a little more flexible if you are part-time.  Not so much full-time, where you can be a little flexible within the day (not a strict 8-5), but if you are scheduled for Monday, you have to work Monday unless you request off, and if you are scheduled for a Holiday, you have to work the holiday, unless you request off.  They encourage you to clock out every time you are not typing to keep your lph rate up, which means an 8 hour day can turn into 12 hours at the computer.  If they run out of work (which they do quite often), you have to make the time up.  They are also leaning more towards Voice Recognition, so MTs are getting trained on that, but not sure what percent will go that way.  It does affect how much work you may get though in the other accounts.
