That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

Precyse - do they allow split shifts and what are the shifts? (sm)

I see they are hiring for 2nd and 3rd shifts.  I know a friend of mine works for a company where as long as over half your shift is in that time frame it is acceptable. 


It says they are hiring for new accounts, might be a good time to make a change. 


Yes, they do allow split shifts,
like the poster below stated, it would still be specific time frame.       
Split shifts Precyse
I work for Precyse and I believe that they do allow a split shift on some accounts. I would definitely call the recruiter and ask about it.
split shifts at Diskriter
Before I crossed over to the QA side, I used to split my shift at Diskriter. They have great insurance, but I'm not sure what would be considered affordable.
DIT and Proveros allow split shifts
However, I think Proveros was just bought out by Superior Global or merged with them. It won't hurt to check them out.
So are you saying that split shifts are not allowed any longer?
nm
Split shifts are allowed. You can dictate your
shift within a Tu-Sa, or Sun-Thurs schedule. 
You're too nice. I was going to tell her to go to work somewhere else - LOL
nm
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone.  I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre.  I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
MDI-FL will let you work split-shift too I heard...nm

I think it's a combination of both. Plus, the work gets done lickety-split and they -- sm
don't have to listen to doctors, floors, etc., whining about, Where's this report?  JMHO.  Heard from one of the clerks at the hospital I used to work -- reports are a mess, but they're getting done.  Mgmt thinks quantity.  Typical.  I think a big part of the problem with MT today is that those in charge are clueless about MT itself and the dedication and skills that go along with it in a quality MT that can do quantity AND quality.  They think that if you can type, you can transcribe. 
yes but you can work 1 of 3 different shifts 10p-6a, 11p-7a, or 12a-8a

Are there any companies that hire emp status and let you work sort of a split?
I would like to work 6 hours during the day while kids are in school and then about 2 hours in the evening. Are there companies that will allow this? Do they have affordable benefits?
Does JLG work in shifts or by production? TIA
nm
I am laughing at there is always work on second and third shifts. If you say so.
Go on with the bashing. Im prepared.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

Yes, nice QA (and nice people in general), but very little work right now. nm
nm
You're welcome! Nice to see it, huh?!

You're right, she is very nice
I worked for her, oh, maybe a year and a half ago. She gave me work for a while, and then all of a sudden I didn't hear a word from her. She reposted the position a short-time later and I emailed her back wondering if I had done something wrong since I hadn't received any work from her in a while. She said she was glad I got back to her because she had lost my email. If I'm not mistaken, I worked for her again for a short while and the same thing happened. I never contacted her, and since that time the job opening has been on her three times.
I doubt they HAVE to, but most probably do as an incentive to get workers to work the late shifts an
nm
You're welcome! Likewise to you! Nice meeting you!

Maybe I'll see ya in MQ world!!


Now, now. Glad you're having a nice experience but no need to
By the way, I worked at Precyse a year ago and had a terrible time getting specific questions answered. Maybe it's a problem with individual supervisors. It's unfair to discount others' experiences.
I still think the company has good potential.

Obviously, you're all nice people - both companies are blessed to have you
I've seen so many ugly remarks on this website that I was actually afraid to even post for opinions - but each and every one of you have been honest and most of all respectful.  I didn't get the response - look in the archives.  I think that is a rude and nonchalant response.   To answer the question and give YOUR opinion, shows concern.  This is a difficult field and somehow instead of cutting each other down, we need to pull together.  I'm taking this opportunity to thank each one of you who took the time to respond. 
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.

Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts.  Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others.  Overall, wonderful company.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was

Is it a nice place to work and did you have work all the time. nm
:
If you're PT you're required to work

8 of your hours in one weekend day.  There's no extra pay for it though. 


They may be nice to work for, but they

I work for that office, they are nice. nm

Nice people to work for.
Pay is higher than other MTSO.  QA is very helpful and always encouraging.  I never heard anything negative, even when I did make a mistake.  The only reason I left is because I was offered a local account with a surgery center.  I would go back in a heartbeat if I needed work. 
Are you a nice company to work for. nm

Nice company to work for. sm
Pay always on time. Weekends are not required. They do not pay for spaces, but do pay H/F. Line rates are better than average to good.
Yes, I work there...The owner and QA and everyone else is very nice.
xx
nice company to work for -----
Mongoose is simple to learn and doesn't seem to have the problems with freezing up and losing jobs that I experienced with Chartscript at my last job.
They are nice cups. I got one, and I do not even work there. sm
I was going to work with them awhile back, and their software was incompatible with another work program I was using, so I was never able to start.  I must be on some list still.  I don't know about the pay cuts mentioned below -- that would be distressing -- but they seemed to pay like everyone else at the time and had decent benefts.  Hope the other poster was wrong about the pay cuts -- I hate seeing that happening so much lately! 
Yes, they are Indian-based and not nice to work for/with. nm
x
Yes, they do. Nice little company. Plenty of work.
Pay on a weekly basis.  Internet based platform.  I do think they are still hiring.
I do. Very nice people. I have plenty of work sm
Pay is on time. Nobody bothers me. I have a great account and wonderful software that is Word based,but they have several accounts a couple of different platforms, so not sure what the others are like.
The vet I work gave me a nice bonus.
I got a card from one of the transcription companies I work for.
Very nice company to work for... friendly and
good QA. It is sometimes difficult to get a high line rate though. Not sure why, but maybe because headers and footers are not paid for. They do pay for spaces however. Good Luck in your decision.
Future-Net as IC, although work can be low. Nice people. nm

Can you split a shift?

Sorry about all of the questions.  Have several full-time offers, just trying to make the right choice and need at least a little flexibility.


You can have a split schedule, but whatever
schedule you agree to work there is no flexibility within that schedule.  You don't have a window of time to do your work.  I find that being strict with my schedule actually gives me more time to do other things, but I still hate the rigidity and wished we had a 12-hour window.  There are days where a lot of the accounts are practically doing the work as it comes in despite having a 24-hour TAT so it seems like there could be some flexibility allowed. 
Split Tunnel
It's called split tunnelling and it's a setting on the VPN concentrator at the hospital. You'd need to speak with someone there (or ask your MTSO to) to allow split tunnelling. It's a security setting. Hope this helps.
Jeff Smith
You can split the 8 hours over Sat and Sun
nm
Doesn't matter how nice they are, I wouldn't work
xx
Yep. Me too. Nice people, great place to work!

Unless things have changed drastically, they are NOT nice to work for.
You will get calls at all hours to work, mostly because no one has enough sense to realize that there is a big time difference between the east coast where they are and the west coast where I am. I routinely got calls from Rose between 4 and 5 a.m. to see why I was not working when my schedule was for 7 a.m. pacific time. The accounts were awful. And the recruiter is just that - do not believe all the praise and glory she heaps out. She may be sweet but don't fall for her line of bs.
