PT status you have no health insurance and you can acquire some PTO. You have to make,I believe,$400 per pay period (biweekly). Otherwise than that none.

RLee is wrong about PT benefits. There is NO paid time off earned. You can open a 401K, that's it. You have to make $450 per pay period.

Honest mistake - RLee

I looked at the paperwork I was given in January 2009 - it states $400 per pay period so evidently this has been changed at some point in the last year, as I have not received anything stating different. I have only been meeting PT hours the last month or so and still acquired PTO according to my paycheck, although not much (maybe because I was hired for FT work, do not know). Thanks for setting the record straight - just went by what my hiring papers stated.

Exactly right and the TLs on some accounts, man, they're downright rude! They need to remember where they came from!!

Hi, no PTO is earned for PT employees.

I've taken time off without pay when I needed to without any problems at all; have also had to adjust my shift with no problems, either. All they have asked is to let them know when you will be back.

You have to make $450 per pay 2-week pay period, but from my experience, you CAN have a bad pay period and it's okay. I have had no trouble whatsoever meeting this requirement and usually go over it; I always have more than enough work. Have had a few different TL's in the past; all have been awesome, as has my regional manager.

If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email.

I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...

Does anyone care to share that if you are hired at optiscript part time will they let you change to full time easily? I know they are a small company and do not over hire so I do not know how easily this could be done. I am thinking of cutting down to part time at my current employee so I can work part time elsewhere and eventually just leave my current employee once I see how the land lays elsewhere. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated :) ...

I am still debating whether to enroll at Andrews or M-TEC. My husband is retiring in 2 years and I want to be able to work part-time after that. Is it realistic to think that I can complete the course at Andrews or M-TEC in 12 months at the most, work full time for a year and then part-time after that. I would want to be able to work from home. I guess the other question is "How long after graduating could I expect to earn enough to make it worth the investment, in a reas ...

For those who went full time to part-time with MQ (because you got another job)...how did that work? Did they approve the schedule you wanted, or did they make you take a schedule?
