Full-time MTs, what LD company do you use for work (if LD is required, of course) ?
nm
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
n
FYI OSI full time is 10,000 lines ppp
Now, if you can just get enough work available to get that, and not get on one of the accounts where they take a good 9-11% of lines right off the top, you'll be doing good.
Can anyone tell me the required amount of hours/lines for part time per week for Focus? nm

Anyone know what full time is for KS? Lines or hours? nm

Full time = 1200 lines per day. nm

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! 


Transcend, is full time 40 hours or X lines?
x
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.
Any info on what is full time for DRC? Hours or lines? Any flexibility? TIA. nm

LOL. What teeth? Lost them when I couldn't get full time lines
Just gumming whatever I can! LOL.
Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm
x
Full time empoyee status only -- 1000 lines/day, 10,000 per pay period.

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

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
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!
Are you required to type 2400 lines in eight hours? Only
aa
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. :-(
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.
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!
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.
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. 
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.   
They are advertising for full time HIM now, do they still hire part time? nm

My thoughts exactly, why waste my time when you know you are only hiring full time? nm
nm
Full time but no work half the time-nm

Question on MDI-MT full time vs. part time
Does anyone know how many lines per week or per pay period are required at MDI-MT to be considered full time?  Thanks.
Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????

TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Full time is 40 hours, and yes they have part-time.
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.
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?
Were you full time or part time?
I would like to get about 1500 lines a day in if possible - not possible? The pay seems good.
Not sure about part time but for full time you get SM
up to 12 hours to do a 7 hour shift. Webmedx requires 35 hours a week for full time, not 40.
Full Time vs. Part Time
Can anyone tell me how many minutes of dictation is considered to be full time?  I do clinic dictation and am wondering if I am actually doing part-time work or full time?
I have a full time and part time job also. nm
