I hope they don't force my hand to go PT, FT or quit. I would have to quit.

per diem
You know what, there are a lot of us who would love to work per diem if offered. Why do you make it sound like some awful thing?
Per Diem
Might I ask what per diem is?
I met someone who works per diem (sm)
not sure though of they offer true part time though or not...I will ask and re-post later.  :)
Line pay for Per Diem

Hi everyone.    I was offered a job per diem at 7.5 cents a line.  I am an acute-care with 29 years experience.   I think this is entirely too low.  People said that would consider increasing to 8 cents per line after a couple of weeks, but there is no guarantee.  My hubby went through the roof when he heard how much they wanted to pay me. 


I have a job right now that does not pay for spaces, rate is decent though 10 cents to 10.5 centers with no Sat work unless there is OT.    I have another job offer where I have been hired to start in Dec which pay will be 9 to 9.5 cents working Tuesday-Sat first shift and now this per diem job.  Per Diem job really offered me this job full-time, they have PT too but benefits were better at the job starting in Dec.  I do feel I am worth more and I just wanted to use them PT just for pocket money.  I told them I would try it for 2 weeks, and she said lots of MTs do that and then they go FT.  They do pay weekly too.   I am torn if I should even take this job at 7.5 as there is no guarantee they will give me more money.   I would just have to trust them and if they do not I know what to do.  Any advice.  I am supposed to train today.  I also have to decide if I want to stay where I am at 10 cents a line or go to a job that pays 9 cents a line with spaces counted and they do not care how long you work.  My 10 cents a line job now does not let you go past 40 hours.  Decisions, decisions. 


No per diem at Transcend
There is no per diem work at Transcend as far as I know and health insurance is only for full time people.
not inferior work because I want per diem
I do not have to pay the rent. I do not want to work full time. And no it is not demoralizing to know that I have reached a place in life where I do not HAVE to work but rather can CHOOSE to work.
Anyone know of a company that is hiring per diem or very flexible IC
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!
That's a $42 a day per diem on TOP OF SALARY ... reading comprehension, people.
Not every offer on the job board is suspect. Chill.

My bet is that it's a really good deal, and if I lived in the PNW, I would look into it (I'd love to live in Alaska for a minute).

I had a pharmacist friend who was looking into going up there and working for a year or two - just the sign-on bonuses alone were $100,000.

Alaska, though, is known for it's crazy, antisocial population.

Sounds perfect for transcriptionists. Heh.
