I really just want a position that I can work as a second job, maybe some weekends and evenings and nothing set in stone. I have found even with a lot of the companies who say that they are flexible or really not. The next thing I know, I need to tell them exactly WHAT DAY and WHAT TIME I am working ahead of time etc. That is exactly what I want to avoid. I want the flexibility to work if I want and take off a day or two if I need to. Is this possible?? I realize that the main reason they ask for a schedule is to plan accordingly but I do not want that "pressure". I was an IC recently and if I was not on right at the moment they "scheduled" me, then I would get emails or phone calls. Maybe I am just dreaming that I can have this flexibility..Anyone??

Any company pay on a weekly basis?
Just wondering if there is one out there. I really prefer a weekly paycheck, but cannot seem to find a company willing to do that.
IC means job by job basis, not when the company
ICs work best from pools, and then of course a TAT would be attached to that. There are companies out there that do this and do not abuse IC status. Abuse of IC status are set schedules, set lines, etc. No IC should have to be available just in case. If so, that IC then becomes an employee. An IC can lose money having to be available by not taking on other jobs. I am defining a job as 1 file of transcription, not a shift, which would be for an employee. Shiftwork is for employees not ICs. An IC is their own boss and run their own ship. An IC has a right on any given time or day not to accept a job. These companies requiring set shifts so to speak and set lines are not following IRS guidelines. Even though a company has clients that need their transcription back that does not give the company the right to treat an IC as an employee. As far as I'm concerned, that company that am contracted with as an IC is my client. Actually, if you contract work (IC) for a company's client, then you are actually a subcontractor. If you had the client yourself, you are then the contractor.
As far as pay, these companies do not want to pay any more than they have to, so they put the rate out there. I have not accepted clients or MTSO subcontracted work because I am not willing to work for that amount of money. I have also accepted work or jobs to transcribe on a job by job basis (typing from a pool). However, if you are assigned a dictator, you still have the right as an IC to say at any time I cannot transcribe that file today. It is the companies responsibility to find another IC to transcribe that job. An employee cannot refuse work that is assigned.
I am looking for a company that hires ICs.

I would have to say the MTs my company hires--sm
are for the most part unable to do acute care. Most of them seem to be from really small hospitals/doctor offices and have never been exposed to a wide variety of drugs, surgical procedures, therapies, you name it. Most of them are also not interested in learning anything, they just want to type and get paid and have me do their hard work for them.
Any company that hires PT for 500 lph....sm
I am looking for extra work but can only commit to no more than 500 lines a day, sometimes less and allow me work any time as long as I do the lines. I some times have slow mornings and sometimes I have slow afternoons, depending on what doctor's are on and would like to be able to fill my time in between with some extra work.
Anyone know company that hires PT AND still uses dial-up? NM
Company with flexible schedule
I'm an MT with 6+ years of acute care experience and a mom of 4. I love working at night when kids are in bed. I like the company I work for but they are starting to get very picky about working the assigned schedule. I received a call today stating that if was not going to be typing for a 5 minutes or more I am to log out. The problem is that I don't know how long it will take to calm down an upset child or lookup a new medication for the report I'm working on.
So the bottom line is that I need a company that will be flexible with my schedule. I would really llike to find a company that hires ICs. So is there anyone out there that works for a company who offers a flexible schedule? I,m willing to run out of work occasaionlly and I love working at night and on the weekend. I would even take a pay cut to get a company that will work with me.
Thanks,
Mariah
Company I think hires newbies and trainees

I am looking for very flexible work. I've got 13 years experience in acute care and I need work that is very flexible, about 20 hours a week. Does anyone know of an individual or company that has any work like this? Thanks!
Recommendations on company with flexible scheduling
I am looking for a company who is flexible in their scheduling. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated plus any other good/bad info.
GREAT company! Extremely flexible. I think it sm
depends on your manager. Mine lets me off each time one of my kids is sick with no questions asked. I am left alone to do my job. I have not had a problem at all with slowness, nothing more than usual when working over the internet. Tech is very quick to fix any problems. I have had every holiday off that I have asked for, and even a few vacation dayy and have only been there since July. I think it is a wonderful company to work for.
Looking for a company who hires Monday-Friday days
Does anyone know of a company who hires full time transcriptionists for Monday-Friday? I have years and years experience and am tired of working the weekends! Your help will be greatly appreciated!
You're describing p.r.n. status, not IC. You need to look for a company who hires sm
p.r.n. MTs.
Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

QT Medical is a wonderful small company. Very friendly and flexible with good dictators. sm
I have to be honest that I know nothing about the health insurance as I do not carry it. Anyway, they are an absolute wonder of a company. Apply at www.qtmedical.com
Anyone know of a company looking for 13 years experience to work flexible part-time shift
I'm getting my real estate license but still want to keep my transcription job part-time. I'm looking for a job that will allow me to work about 20 hours a week and still have the flexibility to show a home on the spur of the moment. Thanks, I would appreciate any info!

How flexible is flexible? A window of time? nm

Webmedx hires some ICs. Good company. So sorry for your loss. Good luck!

per line basis
nm
...rather than on a daily basis? Thanks.

What you have asked has no basis
because if VR learned to where it could be left on its own accord, then 5 years later I would not be doing the same account on the same VR platform and I do not work for the TT.
What is the % of ESL dictation you do on weekly basis?
What is the % of ESL dictation you do on weekly basis?
Why do people hate ESL dictation so much?
I learned a long time ago that it is better to put the time into learning each ESL dictator, then when they come around it isn't as painful and some of them are actually pretty good and give good line counts.
It seems, no matter where I have worked, that when reports fell way out of TAT it was because there are a lot of ESL dictations that people didn't want to do so they just sit there.
I worked for them briefly on a part-time basis. sm
The people are absolutely GREAT, and the account I had was not difficult. I thought their platform was a bit cumbersome and I could not import my abbreviations into their expander, so my line count took a hit. They paid better than some, though, at 9-1/2 cpl.
Good luck.
Has anyone worked for the Word Pros on an as-needed basis? Thanks. NM
My plumber doesn't do work for me on a daily basis. .sm
In my state, we need to get a 1099 if we make over $1000 as an IC. I have never paid a plumber that much money, thank goodness!
What people have to understand is we are competing on a global basis now. nm

Anyone else working for eTransPlus running out of work on a daily basis?
How are you handling it?
Anyone with info on The Word Pros or anyone who has worked on an as-needed basis? NM

Hmm..If this is the radiology account, I thought they were paying on a per-report basis..sm
I worked for them for a little over a week and we were being paid per report. Must be a different account they were recenting hiring for or either they changed the pay structure.
At any rate, my experience was less than grand as well.
Who here is required to type 1800 lines on a daily basis for FT work?

I think if you test well they will consider you on a case by case basis without the full 5 years.
I would definitely contact them anyway.
they may be willing to make considerations on a case-by-case basis s/m
I have a couple of situations that make 8 hours straight not possible for me, and when I hired on with the company I was with who recently merged with Transcend, they worked with me to find ways that would help me be productive without hindering my physical and personal limitations.
I am not going to list specifics, but I was very impressed at how willing they were to help me and they told me that they are willing to make considerations on a case by case basis.
PLEASE go with co. who only hires from USA!!!!
Transolutions only hires in USA!!! MQ hires anybody who they can screw.
MDI MD hires you as SE's not IC's

New hires
They probably are hiring extra expecting that all might not stay, or that some won't work out.
I'm one of those new hires, and...
I hope that all the TT questions on this board are not an indication of how difficult it is to communicate with supes at TT. What I usually do if I have non-critical questions, especially for a new employer or in any situation where I know more questions will come up over time, is I just write them down and when I have 3 or 4 I'll send off an email. Keeps me from bombarding someone with emails when every hour another little oh what about.... pops into my mind.
Wonder why no hires in NY, CA and MO? (sm)
Live in Missouri and have never seen anything that restricted us before.
Any new hires for MDI ...sm
Any new hires completed training? Is there enough work on your primary to keep you busy? What has your experience been after completing your 5 reports or 20 minutes of dictation? Please share new hires or current employees? Thanks.
yes, new hires
do work 1 wkend day every week.
Older/previous hires only had/have to do 2 wk-end days a month.
they have a number of accounts, and i am sure they could accommodate your preference if you are fortunate enough to be hired. Very good place to work, in my opinion!!
The new hires were either CM hires (for those sm
weird schedules like Wed-Sun 2nd shift) or for the new Enterprise account that had to hire the already-existing in house MTs; those hospitals MTs came along with the package and are now Webmedx MTs. Not new hires in the sense you were meaning.
Amphion hires PT. sm
You set your own schedule; weekends/nights only if you want it in your schedule. Always have work. Good pay, good accounts, good people.
Who hires newbies?
work at home only.
What Co Hires CherryPickers?
:(
How long do new hires usually sm
stay on 100% QA with TransHealth? TIA!
JLG hires IC's and has a current ad
Good place!
Who still hires SE status?

Who hires trainees?
I know this has probably been asked before, but does anyone know of companies that hire trainees? I have a friend with some medical experience who wants to train on the job.
Hires newbies
Allegiant and Sound Medical Transcription. Both are very nice owners/companies to work for/with. Good luck!
