Is is possible to find a PT MT job at just 10 hours - Kiki


Posted: Jun 09, 2010

per week?  I work FT but my pay has been cut and I need to find PT work.  I think all I could handle would be 10 hours a week.  I could do this on weekends, 5 hours each.  Is this a fantasy?  Do companies want 20 hours per week?  Anyone work a job less than 15 hours a week?  TIA.  :)

I don't think they want part-timers, just full time people - no guarantee of work

I say this because where I work full time I actually wanted to cut back to 24 or 32 hours a week and they told me that if I did, they would have to replace my position and there would be no guarantee that I would have work. I mean... just to cut back 1 day is all I am asking for. I am not making much money with my 25 years of experience with only VR, nor will I ever, but I am at a point in my life that I want more free time so I can enjoy the last few years, and not just work myself to death for these lowly wages I get. If you ever find such a place, please let me know as that would be my ideal. Good luck!

Find an IC job, then you can work when you want. - NM

Q8h Or Every Eight Hours?

Ok, I'm not as fast as I used to be and the doctors keep giving names of physicians that are not on their list and are spelled different ways so I take the time to look them up because blanks are not a thing I like to leave on a report.  Today we get an email that we can no longer work off the clock which for me is a problem.  Do you take the time to look things up like that or what do you do to get past the OCD of trying not to leave a blank?  I feel like MQ is chasing ...

I have 13 hours left to work at this company and then I am done.  I am typing what I consider good grammar for the ESLs and not worrying about an audit.  My blood pressure has come down.  I am cruising, not swearing and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train.  This company has been wonderful to me for most of my time as an MT.  I am saddened by the changes that have happened in the last few years.  I am going to work in Central Supp ...

Regarding The PTO And 104 Hours Without Pay...
Jun 18, 2014

I noticed when I took a day off without pay, at the end of the pay period, the PTO earned shown in UltriPro was only 4.14 hours instead of 4.62. Does this mean if we take any of that 104 hours of unpaid time off they were so generous to give us, our actual paid time off will be cut?   Has anyone else noticed this?  How sleezy. ...

How Are You Getting Your Hours In?
Feb 17, 2015

How are you all getting your hours in with the current low volumes? I do not work without being paid so I will NOT sit around 16 hours a day waiting for a report or 2 to come trickling in. Is everyone having this issue. I used to have a couple of exclusives who, since the TSM was let go, are no longer exclusives with no explanation as to why the change. So now I am pretty much at the mercy of what comes in and when, and as I said, I don't give any company my time without compensation fo ...


PT Hours

Does anyone work 12 or 16 hours/week?  I see in the policies there are such hours that can be worked.  I am wondering how to go about switching.  Should I just tell my manager next pay period I have to switch to 12 or 16 hours?  It is due to medical conditions and I just got disability but I find I need a little bit more money/month to feel safe.  Im wondering if they will give me grief.  I have been here 17 years and always pass my audits, the last 2 audits were 99 ...

actually faster if you type the report instead of editing with VR?  I have found that sometimes if I type the report myself from scratch, but leave the "speech edited" report at the bottom for reference, I am actually faster.  So, even though I am not making as much per line as I would for a straight typing account, for some jobs (and some days), I make more by completely typing the job myself.  I make 0.516 cpl for editing.  And in someways I feel I need to type sometimes t ...
