You can work whenever you want, nights and weekends especially! Although there is no work during the week, but who cares!
If you move to India, I hear they give you a free lunch!

24 hours per week PT you do get PTO and I think you can participate in the 401. Flexibility kind of depends. I have a schedule, but if I need to flex all I have to do is clear it with my CCM.
I think the days of getting on and off line to work when it suits us is over. May be a few IC positions left but I bet those people won't give them up for anything.

If you submit a schedule, then you must stick to it. You can't just work whenever you want.

There is a big fat "smack down" going on now for people who are working whenever they want and not sticking to their schedule.
Working PT - Hours, etc.

I work PT. Must do 24 hrs per week, stick to your schedule. You accrue 0.3 hours PTO per hour worked up to a max of like 1-1/2 hours per pay period. Not sure if you get 401k, insurance, etc. Do get shift differential for night hours. I do have an understanding with my super that I can put in any extra hours I want (beyond scheduled) - so if you have a couple of hours free some afternoon when not working, I can get on. Not sure if that is MQ blanket policy or not, but you might have some flexibility for additional hours above those scheduled.

So with 2 of my bigger account at 50% the norm (not because of the holidays, they are seeing 18 but only dictating maybe 8) I need something to fill in the hole but do not want FT.

Need Some Help From Old Timers Apr 24, 2011Need some of you “old timers” to help settle a difference of opinion. We can’t seem to find any accurate information using the web.
I was having a discussion with another MT friend about timelines in regards to when SR/VR started and when they started off-shoring.
I say everything happened within the last 5 years. My friend thinks she started using SR over 5 years ago at the MTSO she works for.
Anyone have any accurate info?

Any Old Timers Out There? Oct 04, 2013Just this morning I was talking to my husband about "the good old days" in the medical transcription world.

Back then, it was the physician's responsibility to make sure that all the information on the report was correct before he signed it. Anyone remember those days? Technology and new ways of doing ...
