Line count for full time
I will look up my contract today and get back to you on it. However, you can always call there, they would be glad to answer questions. But, I will write again with the number which I had on my contract (remember, I was an IC last year, it could have changed).
part-time IC is 5000/pay period and full time IC is 10,000 per pay period. Need to talk with
recruiter about cpl, I'm sure it varies with experience. 
Full time is $900 per pay period
no line requirement.
As below, they do to full time people making 900 dollars per pay period. nm

Full time empoyee status only -- 1000 lines/day, 10,000 per pay period.

MDI-MD: What are daily line requirements for full-time/part-time? Thanks! nm

Can anyone tell me Amphion's line rate for full time?

I looked through the archives but could only find 6000 for part time.


Thanks


 


Anyone know what is the full time line requirement per week? nm
Thanks.
I believe they mean that you have to make $900 per PP to be full time, still paid by line

The only time I don't make my line count
it is my own fault for wasting time, surfing the net, etc. It's always my fault. Even when we had a dry spell with work trickling in I still hopped on when most people weren't working and I still made my required count for the pay period.
Webmedx - don't think I get get line count in for payperiod this time. (sm)

Several days of no/low work and last weekend when usually can pick up lines there was nothing.  This weekend will be last weekend of payperiod so I don't hold any big hopes for that.


I am relatively new to Webmedx and this will be the first time I haven't hit the requirements.  Can you tell me what might happen if anything.  Thanks.


WMX - line count. Was working along and noted line count accumulation (sm)

signed off the report I was typing.  Those lines didn't add immediately, but sometimes they do that.  What concerns me is that when I signed that job off and the next one came up, not only were the other lines not added in but they were LESS than they were before I signed off previous job.


I thought I noticed this happening the other day, but figured I just wasn't paying attention.  Today I definitely noticed it.  For some reason it changed it's mind and took 8 lines off my line count.  What the heck? 


Am not really ecstatic with the way things are going anyway  and then this confuses me. 


Please, someone have a realistic explanation so I don't feel paranoid and cheated here. 


A lot of the time the insurance premium comes out
I am not the person above who is paying those premiums, but there are also flexible spending accounts that sometimes help with healthcare.  With MT, you can supplement very easily by taking overflow or having a small account on the side.  Some people tend to take extra jobs.  In all my years, I can honestly say that I have never worked only one MT job.  I have always held a full-time job with side accounts.  I fortunately can now work full-time from home as an independent contractor, but I prefer piece work and making my own hours for the sake of my children at least for now.  I plan to maybe go back to in-house but not strictly transcription once my children are older.  Who knows what the future holds?  I think if you are a single Mom and have the willpower you can make a go of MT as long as you budget and know what is needed to survive and not just what is wanted to survive if you know what I mean.  I would never trade being at home when my kids come through the door for school for all of the money in the world.  I love it and so do they.
Then company should set line count per day with incentives for above that. If get line count done
:[
Pay will drop significantly with Dictaphone EXSpeech 1/2 per line, or something to that tune. nm
0
So then, the waiting period for the first job would not count in that scenario.
But the next insurance would cover if there was no break if employee stayed at old company, kept that insurance and then had no lapse in insurance when going to the next job. Is that correct?

Any Spheris employees notice a drop in PTO time? SM

Before we got 4 PTO hours a paycheck, now is seems to be 3.38. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.


I'm lookin for part-time work (about 3-4 hrs daily) after 13 years of full-time, anyone know of a
company that is hiring flexible part-time?  I'm starting a career in real estate but don't want to totally quit transcription, but I think most places require 25 hours a week and I cant work weekends, as real estate sales are the biggest on the weekend with open houses and people off work to shows homes to.  If you know of a place I'd sure appreciate the info.  Thanks!
Not what I was told; 3500/wk part-time & 6000 wk/full-time. nm

Precyse Solutions is hiring part-time and full-time right now.
Saw this on their website.
I have one full-time job and 2 part-time jobs. It can be tricky at times, sm
but at least I now have plenty of work always. I have some big financial goals, and right now that seems to be the only way to accomplish it.  I can't see any reason why it would not be legal -- why would you say that?  I am cheating no one, except myself (out of sleep and a social life).  Fortunately, I am single with no children or anything.  I cannot imagine doing this if I had a family.  At least my dogige understands. 
Full time/part time based on # hours or
# lines per pay period, nothing to do with quality. The lower the quality the higher the pay it seems.
Solution: Find another job, part time or full time.
Post your resume, hope for the best.
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.   
They are advertising for full time HIM now, do they still hire part time? nm

My thoughts exactly, why waste my time when you know you are only hiring full time? nm

Full time but no work half the time-nm

Question on MDI-MT full time vs. part time
Does anyone know how many lines per week or per pay period are required at MDI-MT to be considered full time?  Thanks.
Part-time MT getting full-time work ??????

TransTech should not be giving out work to PT people on their DAY OFF, or any other time BEFORE a full-time MT has enough work    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Full time is 40 hours, and yes they have part-time.

Line counts - the lower the line count requirements
the harder the account and problems with trying to get production off the platform the company uses.
Line requirement is 11,000 per pay period. sm

You keep a time sheet and turn it in every 2 weeks.  I am not sure as to how much time you are given to get up to speed, but they are a great bunch of people and seem to be very understanding and caring.  I am sure they would work with you if you were having problems.  And yes, you can make up your time if you are missing some hours.  Hope that helps. 


Good luck!



Are you aware of how they count your time?.. or don't count it i should say
nm
Yes. Quite a while ago and for a very short period of time.

Just wasn't a good fit and didn't feel good to me.  The pay was on time.  Platform was shoe-string transfers via e-mail but that could be different now.


Were you full time or part time?
I would like to get about 1500 lines a day in if possible - not possible? The pay seems good.
Not sure about part time but for full time you get SM
up to 12 hours to do a 7 hour shift. Webmedx requires 35 hours a week for full time, not 40.
Full Time vs. Part Time
Can anyone tell me how many minutes of dictation is considered to be full time?  I do clinic dictation and am wondering if I am actually doing part-time work or full time?
I have a full time and part time job also. nm
nm
Well said. Appreciate your time to share this. nm
.
Could you share your line rate? And keep you old job for awhile.
Sounds like you had better keep your old job until you see how much work you will get on DQS and how much you can make. It probably will be slow at first.
Can you share what the daily line requirements are?
and maybe the insurance rates? TIA
AND I SUPPOSE YOU GOT PAID ON TIME LAST PAY PERIOD? NM
X
It will vary. Within a specific period of time, if they SM
post profit and how much profit, then they determine how much they will contribute, so you do not kwow when you sign up. Perhaps someone else can explain it better, but that is about it. I would not base my retirment on it.
I could make .11/line no matter how much under old system, only .1075 now unless over 11K/period.
That's not a raise. I figure it the way the recruiter did--add the LPH incentive to your line rate.
As far as I know they only pay if you have AT&T. I'm full-time also and don't get anything fo
x
JLG does for full time.
They do not for part time though.
consider the MT already has a full-time job, though

Full time
Thanks for the info!
Can you tell me what they consider to be full-time? TIA nm

I do VR full time...
The best platform by far is Escription which is very productive.  I was nervous about VR too but even with 50% pay per line I am making a lot more money overall.  I do have some typing but the older the account is the better the VR is.  Some notes i barely have to edit now.  If I straight type I average around 200 lph (acute care) but on VR I do well over 500+.  Escription learns indefinitely, so the longer the account has been there the better it is.  I try to keep my lines per hour on VR at least above 250 which even on a brand new account has never been an issue, so I have made out.  The typing break is great and I absolutely love it.  If you have more specific questions, feel free to email me.  (I am just an MT and not management for a company or anything like that.)
