Any companies that just give you a window to get your work done and NO set schedule? - mt

Posted: Jan 23, 2014

Anyone know of any companies that give you a time frame to get your work completed? I would like to work for a company where there is no punching in an out or constant phone calls, etc. I have over 14 years of experience.

Independent contractors used to be like that, try an IC MT job search - good luck

Been there, done that.

I had a position like that. - sm

Sadly, I am losing it to EHR. Good luck in finding what you are looking for.

Straight typing, good pay, very easy platform, no schedule, very little QA and not nitpicky, and employee status! Message me and I'll send you specifics! :) Good luck in your search!

Companies with window to get work done. - Thankful

I'm not original poster, but I am looking for the same thing. I have lost both my FT and PT jobs in the last 4 months to implementation of Epic systems. I'd appreciate the info too. Thanks!

I've been there for over 2 years and love it. No set schedule, pretty much no QA, and you're always left alone to do your work. As long as you are getting your lines in and being productive, they don't care what hours/days you work.

I actually got hired there a few months ago but didn't take the job as I took another offer. Then found out those hired that weekend had no work, according to the boards here. Do you have trouble getting a consistent work load? Would you mind telling me what they pay? I was hired for 3.034 cpl at TTS, really?

I make 8 for straight and 4 for VR - LMMT

I have 2 accounts at Landmark and rarely run out of work. There are some times that are slower than others, but I still am able to get a great line count and make a decent paycheck. One of my accounts is all straight typing and the other is about half straight and half editing. I like them both and I have no set schedule, so I can work whenever I want as long as I don't go over 40 hours a week. I would never accept anything less than 4 cpl for editing!

Silent Type for the most part. I work during the day and do not punch in/out. No phone calls hardly ever. Have to let them know if I will be gone for a long period of time during the day. I can work at night also if I want.

Yes, you can work at night if you want, but you will need to if you want to make any money. Be careful though - owner will throw you under the bus for not working your set schedule, but there isn't really a set schedule unless she all of a sudden decides there is, in your case anyway. It really depends on her mood on any given day. All I can say is proceed with caution.

To no set schedule at/nm poster - please sm

Are you aware that "nm" usually means no message, so your message(s) might not be read by many people on these boards?

Does anyone know of any companies that allow either a 12-hour window to get in your hours or just a line count quota with no daily time limit? I suppose either one of those options would be IC, but wouldn't mind an employee position. I have worked at one of the big ones for a few years but I am just too burnt out working late at night "scheduled" every night. I hesitate to change my schedule with them because of losing my account, which is the only reason I keep plugging away a ...

I just feel like the process is not moving fast enough and I asked for this schedule change almost a month ago. She sent over the paperwork and hasn't said anything else since. Not even when I sent an email asking her if she's considered me. There is no communication whatsoever. I don't understand it. Is there a way I can get her to reply to me without having to press her every week to see if she's approved my new schedule? ...

This may sound like a good thing, like they're allowing flexibility with your shift, but the reality is that with frequent NJA, it'll take you 12 hours of hovering over your computer just to get 8 hours of pay. What a crock. ...

Ran across this on Internet. Interesting. Section 179 Tax Code-2011 Expires Section 179 has been extended to 2011 and made BIGGER! Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying Software/Equipment purchased or leased during the tax year. That means that, if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct the FULL PURCHASE PRICE from your gross income. Cost of the Equipment/Software: $150,000Section 179 Depreciat ...

I have 25 years of experience and am looking for P/T work on eScription. I have an Expert Certification in EditScript and am a fast and accurate editor. I am trying to find a company who has steady work without being assigned to tons of accounts in order to get your lines and also no set schedule. I don't care about whether it's employee or IC, but I need the flexibility because of having to care for my adult daughter with a disability. I am open to other platforms also, if need ...

I would like to know how different companies work with you as far as schedule flexibility. For example, if you are working second shift and your child's music concert was during your shift, how would your company (or previous companies) work with you on that? Any companies that are especially flexible or any that are especially not? Along that line, any companies that give you, say a 10-12 hour window to get 8 hours in? Thanks for any info you can give me. ...

Do you guys use the "hint" window or the "suggestion" window? So, I've been using SH for a bit now and today, by accident, was trying to change a font, I realized that I was only using the small "hint" window and there was the "suggestion" window that brings up more than 1 entry. For a couple of reports I used the "suggestion" window but found it awkward having to scan the window, but probably weird to me because I'm not used to it. Which do you use? ...

Does anyone know how I can get rid of the QA window that keeps popping up with each QA blank? I often put in QA markers with a difficult dictator and then go back and listen again and compare to previous reports, so I'm not ready to write a QA note. In the meantime, that irritating window pops and covers the field I'm working in, and I have to manually push it down with the mouse each time. ...

Lately, when I get NJA it is just long enough to slow my production down, but not long enough to report it. It only lasts about 10 minutes most times. Does everyone else wait the 15 minutes before reporting as we are supposed to, or do you report it right away? ...

Mar 06, 2011

Seriously, I was 11 seconds (according to my punch clock) past the scheduled start of maintenance on submitting a really long job and it didn't go through. I think they should wait 5 minutes for the last minute submissions or at least hang onto the job and have it submitted after maintenance. ...

Just received 2 emails - 2 jobs with 1 error each from this a.m. I have been extremely careful doing VR and these 2 errors are a word that is "missing." I think once we upload a job, this VR crap doesn't 'save" what we've done in a report fully. This has been happening quite a bit lately. I had a report a couple of weeks ago where the report had an entire paragraph in it that wasn't dictated. I remembered that job from a few hours prior and I know I didn't add t ...

and the window to request Christmas is about to open, and the new rule our "scheduler" made up is that we can only take one of them, it would be nice if she would PROCESS THE THANKSGIVING REQUESTS SO WE KNOW IF WE CAN REQUEST CHRISTMAS OR NOT. On a side note, since we can only take one of them, I suspect because she thinks it will make her job easier, that's going to throw way too many people working on completely dead holidays, which will lead to her having to fill out a ton ...
