Know of any companies where one can work under 20 hours a week? - Almost part-time


Posted: Apr 20, 2015

I'm looking to work preferably 16 hours a week. It can be IC, statutory, or employee status. I want to keep yearly income around $9000. I will consider 20 hours. Thanks in advance.

Under 20 - Part time

I work for AssistMed - IC - okay job for me - 20 hours a week. They are pretty nice; if you discuss this with them, maybe they will give you 16 hours a week - there is ALWAYS work with them.

part time - or full time

With assistmed, whether you are part time or full time, they require one weekend day no matter what! and NO. They do not always have work, anymore than any other company. They are a junior Nuance! BtDt, They have pooled work, where you fight with 15 other ICs trying to get your lines. There is a LOT of cherry picking and nobody cares. a lot of ESL, as well. Good luck.

20 hours - Part time

Wow! My experience with AssistMed is not like what you say. In over a year, I have not run into cherry picking as you put it and what company doesn't require some weekend work? Also I find the managers helpful and when I send an E-mail to any of them, I get a response. I am on 5 accounts and when they put me on one I absolutely loathed, I asked to be taken off of it and they did immediately. Guess everyone has different experiences in this field.
no kidding - you must have been

on the goody list then. i was there for 8 years and hated every second of it... it was so unfair all the way around. i highly doubt they have changed that much when there are still others complaining about the same things i mentioned above. but then, the managers always have their favorites!! :-P

Part-Time W/benefits--PTO - Former MT

If you are looking for PT work that pays hourly, DD/on-time, benefits, PTO than you might consider doing customer service from home for Sykes/Alpine Home Access you can Google them, they have a variety of customer service accounts everything from XBOX to Ancestry.com Just a thought if you still want to work from home and work part time.

Weekend Warriors! - Amphion Recruiter

[ In Reply To ..]
Amphion Medical Solutions does have weekend warrior positions available at 16 hours (Fri/Sat/Sun), employee-status. We do also provide part-time positions at a minimum of 20 hours. If you are interested, you can head to our testing site, which I can give to you via e-mail if you'd like (since I don't think MTStars lets you link outside in the message boards)!
