What IC company allows you to not stick to a rigid schedule? - HomeMT


Posted: Jul 21, 2014

I am looking for a PT IC position that I truly can work when I have the opportunity and not set a rigid schedule.  I can somewhat adhere to hours, but sometimes cannot.  Are there any companies out there that allow this?  Thanks!

No. The MTSO needs to know they have coverage at all times, - not just when you want to work. nm

Yes, there are companies like this out there. - Just hard to find.

I work for 3 such companies. I have no schedules or even line requirements. I can come and work when and for how long I want. However, the drawback to that is that they have to overstaff accounts so that when several people decide they don't want to work a certain day, the work still gets done. This is why I work for 3 companies. That way I always have work on at least one account. The companies I work for are all smaller lesser-known MT companies. I found them through Craigslist ads, Monster.com, and networking with other MTs.

I work as an IC for a company that has this - MT

No set hours, work when you want as much as you want, just commit to a minimum number of lines. I'm not sure if my company currently has any openings, but feel free to email me and I'll give you the info.

InScribe does not mandate a strict schedule. You have to hit a certain number of lines in a pay period for 100% status but it is not hard to achieve at all (I think 5000 lines/pay period)

Welcome To Mmodal Gestapo Like Timeclock And Rigid Schedule
Dec 05, 2012

There is one reason and one reason only for instituting time clocks and not allowing Nuance MTs to manually fill out time cards and that is to micromanage your schedule, pure and simple.  So I am sorry to burst your bubble, but those of you who have taken 10 hours over the course of a day to get your 8 hours in...OR those who actualy work 10 hours to get in as many lines as possible..those days are over.  You will be given a 15 minute leeway over whatever schedule you are given, whethe ...


Should I Stick With This Company?
Jan 04, 2011

Sorry this is kind of long, but I am looking for advice on whether I should look for a new job or hang on to the one I have.  I am a newbie and have only been working for about 6 months.  I was hired as a "statutory employee" at 0.0625/line with spaces.  Since they pay some of my taxes, I'm not sure what my actual line rate would be.   I work  M-F.  No nights or weekends required.  I have no minimum line requirement, rarely run out of work.  I c ...

New Survey- They Can Stick It
Jul 13, 2010

Every time MQ sends out a survey they use it to justify a pay cut or cesspool or other "great" ideas.  They twist the results of the survey to fit their agenda and then say- see the MTs agree that ASR is better or they are sick of running out of work.  JMHO but I am not filling it out so they can use my answers to make my job worse than it already is. ...


ICs, Do You Stick To Your Schedules?
Jul 21, 2011

I'm just curious how well other ICs stick to their schedules, do you ask for time off or just let management know you won't be there, do you work extra when management asks??? Sometimes I feel like I behave as if I am an employee, but without any of the benefits. I'd like to know what the norm is out there. Thanks! ...

When on conference call about new compensation program, specifically asked if QA was going to get pickier and was told oh definitely no, they will not.  Well, I have found that not to be true.  One correction was a period..another a period, another a left out word (where the doctor changed their mind constantly they didnt even know what they wanted to say, so I felt it was a judgment call) it wasnt even a medical word or a word that changed the meaning, even if it is .25 points off tha ...

I work on v 9, 10 and 11 and I have noticed that when I make corrections on some VR reports the corrections do not seem to stick by the time they get to QC.  I have seen mistakes that I distinctly remember correcting while I am editing and then they show up as not corrected on the QC reviews.  Thankfully it hasn't happened on post-audit but it is pretty upsetting.  I had my TSM check a couple of them and sure enough, the mistakes were there when sent by me, so either I have become a hor ...

"CARROT ON A STICK"
Mar 01, 2010

My employer has started resorting to the carrot-on-a-stick game to try to squeeze more work out of us when TATs get behind.  One "carrot" is so-called "premium" pay for working extra hours on the weekend.  Two catches:  Your week's total still has to add up to 40 hours, and you don't get the "premium" cpl until you've already done your day's minimum lines.  Oh wait, there's a third catch:  Most of the work is the worst of the worst ESLs, their tr ...
