PT job in facility company has contract with - FLyingunderthewire


Posted: Oct 06, 2011

Have been offered a PT position in a facility that my current company does transcription for.  It is for MT work NOT sent out of the facility.  Do you think this would be a conflict of interest?  I would ask Human Resources, but... trying to stay low profile. 

fllying highwire...some serivces have it stipulated you cannot contact - anon

nor work for a client. At least that was a big problem when girls would work for a service whose MTs were paid top dollar and just covered in-house work on an as-needed basis. Many times the hospital could not fill positions, so they would hire these "temps" and the hospital would have to pay the service thousands because of taking away their employees. So, you'd better find out IF you fall under some contract. I would think...just to be safe.

If you don't have a contract... (sm) - BTDT.

or if you have a contract that doesn't state specifically that you can't work there, then do it by all means, but never EVER tell anyone at either place. You could put yourself in a compromising position by letting either side know what's going on. As long as you can maintain strict confidentiality at both places, don't sweat it. I did it and all was well until my on-site boss found out (I slipped up and said something) and the facility wasn't comfortable with my situation and asked me to choose.

MDI Contract

Question About IC Contract
Aug 31, 2011

I have never worked as an IC before, only as an employee. I was offered a position by a company looking for an IC, and they have an IC contract that they send you and want you to sign. Is it common for an IC contract to contain the clause that you must provide 14 days' notice if you are resigning and that if you provide less than 7 days' notice they have the right to withold 50% of the monies owed to you? I can completely understand that they want adequate notice (just like any employe ...
