Who then will hire for part time and is a decent company?(nm)

I am having a hard time understanding why companies consistently overhire when they run an ad.
They have to know that people that need a certain amount of income are either going to quit or cut back and get a second job.  What does it gain them.  I would think this constant hiring and hiring and training would get very old and certainly has to impact quality.
Hope Transtech is NOT still hiring, because we are all fighting for work right now OVERHIRE big time
Be careful right now, because TT has much overhired, promising something big coming up, but nothing seen by the MT's yet, just LOW WORK load.
They are advertising for full time HIM now, do they still hire part time? nm

Does anybody know of a company that does not constantly overhire so that we have to wait endlessly
for work each day?  I am finding I have to be available 12 hours a day to perhaps work 7.  Getting old.
think they jointed the bandwagon of overhire as a company policy? NM

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.
That is ridiculous! Always, always on time. Besides, the don't even hire ICs.

I believe they do hire part time
I found pay to be above what most companies are offering these days, great benefits, and good positive people to work for.
Do they hire part-time?? n/m

I believe they only hire full-time.

Yes, they do hire part-time - sm
I don't think they are hiring at this time but it is worth putting your name in. They have a website. If you are good, I don't see why you would fail the test.
She says since then only hire IC so I thought time

Does MDI Hire Part Time IC's.....
I just looked on their web site and did not see any available jobs, so they might not be hiring at all. Any advice helpful. Thanks.

Thanks to all. Which companied hire part time for VR? SM
Not interested in full time because I currently work approximately a 6 hour day, but want to start with minimal hours on VR. Any suggestions?
Does MDI Maryland hire part time IC's?
If so, does anyone know what their line requirements are for part-time?
Congrats! Do they hire part-time?

It is time for their annual over-hire frenzy. sm

Be warned that in about 4 months work will be low and you will be working every day to make lines.


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?


It depends. If they invested in the the time and expense to hire you, sm

to train you, ship you equipment, set up your software etc. and you did not give it a fair chance (at the very least 2 weeks) before quitting, I'd say they'd be extremely gracious to even consider taking you back.


If you worked for them for awhile and gave the platform and the company a fair trial, and then ended up leaving, then yes perhaps they might hire you back.


All you can do is ask.  JMHO.


Try Breitner in Maine they hire newbies all the time.

Don't think they hire part time. Old posts are not favorable. nm

Amanda, does e TransPlus hire part-time IC? (nm)

Are there any good companies that hire part time?

I have two years of acute care experience, and I need a part-time job to supplement my current income.  If everything works out, I will need to go to full time in March.  At this time, I can only work Friday and Saturday nights.


I have been applying to several companies, but they keep giving me the run around.  One company even told me I did very well on their test and that I was put in a pool of transcriptionists to be contacted.  The recruiter called me once, and I missed her call.  I called her back and left a message, but I have not heard anything else from her. 


Any advice would be appreciated. TIA!  


Webmedx hire part time employees...sm
I'm really happy there.  You might give them a try. 
Do any MTSOs hire part-time...I just figured out
that I can make just as much working part-time MT somewhere else than working at Medquist full-time as an MEE (what a joke).  After 3 paychecks of half of what I was making before 7/1/09, that is what it amounts to.  Might as well spend more time with my family, but I only see full-time jobs posted.  Any suggestions would be great so I can have a life again!  Much appreciated!
I think they will hire PT if it is a hard to fill time slot. I would talk
to them and see. They go both by hours worked and lines transcribed since you are employee status. The insurance is First Health and the coverage is great. We had Aetna prior to this and First Health offers better coverage for less money. Vacation accrues immediately but you cant' take it for the first 90 days. I think you get 11 days the first year and it increases every year after that. I think the max is either 21 or 26 days per year.

Hope that helps.
In my state, if they hire you full time, then do not provide the work you can draw unemployment -
You would have to talk to someone in your state, but I was able to draw partial unemployment while still working in Georgia. I had to report in each week how much I made and they gave me partial benefits. To qualify, you had to have been hired full time.
Yes I know they hire part time because I referred someone there for part time.
They are internet based.
Would a national company hire me?

I have several years experience working for a very prominent healthcare institution doing acute care, clinic, and hospital dictation in every specialty and subspecialty imaginable.  We were never assigned accounts, so my exposure to all of the specialties and dictation by hundreds of physicians at our institution was extensive throughout the years. 


Over two years ago I had to take employer-paid disability and have yet to return to work.  I have hope with my latest treatment that I will be able to return to work soon and have contacted my MT department head, but did not hear back.  Although my reviews were always exemplary, my attendance did suffer slightly prior to my taking disability.  I say slightly only because I still attempted to work a portion of each day even while ill and the actual amount of days absent was not that high; however, working at a healthcare institution our attendance requirements are necessarily strict.


If my department head is unwilling to take me back into the department, I don't know what I'll do.  I love MT, have great skills, am highly accurate, and don't want to give up on this career.  If worse comes to worse and a position will not be available for me when I return to work, do you think a national company would hire me with over a two-year lapse in my work record? 


Does anyone have any advice or ideas in this regard?  I desire to stay with my current employer, but don't want to leave medical transcription.  Thank you.


They only hire ICs. They are a nice company.

Re: Axolotl: Do they hire for QA within company or....sm
can someone apply there for it. Looking for PT MT/PT QA. Any info appreciated...............
It is an Aussie company, but they do hire in US MTs.
nm
Not all companies hire PT. My company
does not because of fees they have to pay for rights to programs, etc.
No company will hire a newbie if they can't spell better than you can
nm
MDI-Maryland is an excellent company, pay on time all the time, great line rate.
I left also because I went out and got my own client(s).
They are very nice people.

The only negative I can think of were the e-mails from the owner say work, work, work, we are out of TAT.

Other than that, which is very minor, it was a good experience.
Gerri, I worked for a company as management that had would hire
a lot of American transcriptionists just to get the ball rolling on new accounts, and little by little would send it over to India. The company would have me send a little bit of work to India, have it QA'd on our side, and send it to the hospital. The better the Indian company got with the account, the less work we would give to the US transcriptionists. The nasty emails from the US transcriptionists got to me after awhile, along with my conscience, and I quit for the company.
Just thinking it may be nice for others to know the name of the company IF they happen to hire
again in the future.......
If this company begins with D, your pay goes back to new-hire rate if there are ANY blanks in it

Can anyone tell me if Administrative Assistants is a good company to work for and if they hire IC
or employees.
Great company. I've been recommending this company for a long time.
x
Great little company..I worked there for a short time, IC, and pay always on time, great owner too!
I had good dictators, they use FTP, and I had a 12-hour window to return the work.
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time.  I get sick to death of it.  I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
They overhire -sm
Can't give you enough work if they overhire. Grave and early day shift are out of work when they sign on, or shortly after. They want all the accounts cleaned out by evening, and then there is nothing left for anyone else.
Well I never know when they overhire...
I have never run out of work unless it is around the major holidays when people would rather spend their money anywhere but the doctors/hospitals (don't blame them)!

Actually looking forward to them hiring some help...the accounts are so busy and we keep getting new ones...one can only type so fast for so long...lol!
Used to be, not any more. Overhire is the name of
the game, so you are lucky if you can get your line counts. Just like any other big company, you are just another set of hands and another number. Their platform is terrible.
