Does MQ offer bennies to part timers? - How flexible are they with your hours?

extremely flexible - right!

You can work whenever you want, nights and weekends especially! Although there is no work during the week, but who cares!

If you move to India, I hear they give you a free lunch!

24 hours per week PT you do get PTO and I think you can participate in the 401. Flexibility kind of depends. I have a schedule, but if I need to flex all I have to do is clear it with my CCM.

I think the days of getting on and off line to work when it suits us is over. May be a few IC positions left but I bet those people won't give them up for anything.

If you submit a schedule, then you must stick to it. You can't just work whenever you want.

There is a big fat "smack down" going on now for people who are working whenever they want and not sticking to their schedule.

Working PT - Hours, etc.

I work PT. Must do 24 hrs per week, stick to your schedule. You accrue 0.3 hours PTO per hour worked up to a max of like 1-1/2 hours per pay period. Not sure if you get 401k, insurance, etc. Do get shift differential for night hours. I do have an understanding with my super that I can put in any extra hours I want (beyond scheduled) - so if you have a couple of hours free some afternoon when not working, I can get on. Not sure if that is MQ blanket policy or not, but you might have some flexibility for additional hours above those scheduled.

Transcend - Part Timers
Dec 20, 2011

I am starting to wonder if Transcend has more part time workers than full time, excluding the TLs.  It just seems like it is such a fight to get enough work to be full time.  It also seems like it saves them in the long run to not provide insurance and now gift cards at Christmas if they have more part timers, just my feeling. ...

I am thinking of applying to MQ for PT work as my current accounts are getting a bit too slim for my liking.  More and more of my docs are doing their own transcription which is encouraged by the hospital system I work for.  So with 2 of my bigger account at 50% the norm (not because of the holidays, they are seeing 18 but only dictating maybe 8) I need something to fill in the hole but do not want FT.  I don't even know if I would pass the test, MQ is the only test I ha ...
