DSG is awesome-pay on time, management is great, plenty of work, flexible schedule. nm

Yes, pay on time. We give a 2-week schedule. Accounts pretty good

Thanks. Can you make any decent pay with them and are the accounts decent. What is your feeling
that. Thank you.
Does ANYONE besides MDI pay decent and have that FLEXIBLE scheduling? HELP, please! nm

Flexible schedule
This comes up a lot, but you have to look at it from their point of view. You are an employee and therefore expected to work a scheduled shift. They can't have their MTs signing on and working whenever they please they have to know the accounts are covered. Hey, if that's the worst thing we can say about them, then that's a really good thing. They really are worth giving up a weekend and 3 holidays a year for all the benefits of being a Transtech MT. I've worked for several companies, including some of the big boys, none can compare to TransTech. I'll be with them until I retire.
flexible schedule
MDI of Maryland allows a 24-hour window to do whatever lines you commit to.  I work for them and have a flexible schedule.  Phone 301-921-2006.  Tell them you want to get in touch with Carlotta.
if they have the flexible schedule you want, then
you sound like you're just out here to pitch MDI-MD.
Flexible schedule at Transtech? sm
How flexible is the scheduling at Transtech?  I'm interested in the weekend position but would need lots of flexibility...Thanks!
Flexible schedule on my account.....

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


Really? Are they hiring? I need a flexible schedule...
nm (no message)
It just means you have a flexible schedule,
as long as all accounts are covered when they need to be, you can change your schedule around. Where I work we have that also, we just submit each week when we will be working.
From what I remember not very long. They are flexible, pay is decent, good dictators,
I have never had any problem with them. 
8 cpl to start, 8.5 cpl when off QA. Flexible schedule. Use ExText. nm

Does Axolotl offer a flexible schedule?

Information on axolotl. Is it a fixed or flexible schedule?
Are you off all major holidays or do you have to have them approved and how many weeks paid vacation do you get?

Acute and/or clinic work? Set schedule or flexible hours? Thank you! nm

Why would anyone what to work for practically nothing. I make 5 cpl editing, flexible schedule etc.
As long as they can get people to take those ridiculous wages that is what they will offer. Your an IC so you have no benefits, thus they do not have much of an overhead and you can bet they are getting a whole heck of a lot more cpl than they are offering their MTs.. but I guess that is the only reason they are in business... to make a huge profit. Unfortunately, at YOUR expense. What a sad day... 1.5 cpl..
Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA. 
Need good small company to work for with flexible schedule - e-mail me.nm

Does Advanced Transcription in Oregon offer flexible shifts? Do you have to do set schedule? NM
nm
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.   
Anyone working for DSG that can tell me how you like their accounts. Are they decent to get
lines on and how is the sound quality on DQS.
How do the accounts seem. Decent sound and dictators do you think. nm
:
My accounts were pretty decent today

I got almost all of my lines in by 1:00, which is quite a feat for hump day.  I would have finished them then but I promised my kids we'd go swimming.  My accounts were also pretty low the last few weeks, so I'm glad to see them finally picking up.  Maybe the docs really were on vacation.  Who knows?  I just hope it stays this way and I hope everyone else's work picks up soon. 


Of course, I'm not putting my blinders on just yet.


Fairly flexible but they do like a schedule. Insurance is good. Benefits are good in my opinion.

For the past week, work has been a little slower but I think that is common in every company..some days busy and other not.


Just be flexible with your work types and accounts and you should be fine.

Can anyone working for the Ohio MQ office tell me who they are and are the accounts decent to do or
are there a lot of ESLs. Thanks for any info you have.
I do Rad for TT. Pay is good, tons of work, decent accounts. I know they are hiring a few more
Rad MTs now. I would highly recommend.
Hourly pay, great benefits, schedule depends upon which accounts...sm
you are QAing.  Solid company.  Good luck!
Part time flexible jobs
Can you share? I am interested in part time evenings and weekends. Thanks, Lucy
They do have flexible part-time positions- but
you will probably have to work when they need it, and not not necessary when you would like to. I think they are asking for Th-Fri-Sat flex parttime workers.
and all this time I thought they were a decent company!
Guess I was wrong! I almost accepted a position with them 6 months ago when I was changing companies, but ended up accepting a position with another company instead. Now I'm glad I did! I definitely would not want to be a part of a company that treats their MTs this poorly! I hope that this MTs sues them for all that they are worth! What they did is totally illegal!
Are they losing accounts. Do most of their accounts stay for long period of time. I have
heard pros and cons about the quality of their work.  I guess it is much cheaper than other companies can offer.
Who then will hire for part time and is a decent company?(nm)

Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm

There is a part-time and a flexible part-time, just left there and they offered
me both. Flexible, however, is more or less when they need you (I.e. weekends), part-time is fixed hours.
Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

OSI Part-time schedule
Can anyone tell me if OSi part-timers are on a set schedule or if there is flexibility allowed? Thank you.
Okay. Flex your time. Change your schedule if necessary. sm
If you have been in this business any length of time, you should know how work volumes fluctuate, especially around the holidays. 
You fill out a schedule a month at a time..sm
and you can change it at anytime.  You are not required to work weekends.  The work is pooled, they use ExText.  They are wonderful!
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!
Flex time requires a schedule. Crazy huh?
There is nothing to like about MQ at this point in time. So many people work there because the company needs people but the turnover of people is pretty significant. Be very leery of the pool. It is murky and will not allow you to make money because in that pool are thousands of client profiles you must read to see how to format the report before you can even begin to transcribe and make money. After you read this client profile, you may not see the client again for weeks which was a waste of your time. The speech recognition program is the worst requiring many corrections at a reduced rate of transcribed reports. No one can make real money with the disadvantages MQ gives you to worQ with.
I've been very happy at DSG -- pay always on time, decent incentive package, sound quality probab

depends on account, mine has been fine most of the time.


Nope...MDI-MD for a long time as well and I have a schedule I have to follow! You've got it made

Anyone know what full time is at Transtech? Lines or hours? Do they flex schedule? nm

I applied at Webmedx, took test, passed, and they said no to my part-time schedule.
Maybe call and ask before you waste your time like I did.
Amphion hires part-time - they're very strict schedule-wise though
Since part time is so hard to find these days your options are limited, so if you don't mind working for a company that is a stickler for strict schedule adherence, I say try Amphion.
T-C - full-time is 1000 lpd along with a "rough estimate" schedule of what hours you'll wor
It's pretty nice.
