So far (2 hours in) don't like DQS 7 -

Please don't discourage me from applying to Nuance. I just lost my job today and I need a job BAD! Plus, I've only got two semesters of college left before I graduate and move out of this field. Anyway, can someone tell me what 2nd shift hours are? And I'm curious to know when most of you work. Thanks ...

Somehow, I think we should be getting paid for the time we are waiting between jobs, especially since the wait isn't fitting into the 15-minute wait period. - Of course, waiting put under work availability. ...

...check it out for yourselves. Employees are not independent contractors. If you signed up for a straight 8 per day, your time sheet should reflect only the breaks you take off the clock. They are so messing with you folks! ...

If it takes more, how many more? I realize this is an answer dependent on many factors, but I'm talking in general terms. Thank you. ...

I understand with 24 hours you get PTO, but can you be scheduled for less than 24. That is a lot for a PT position. Most companies only require 20 per week. ...

Which is correct? I thought I had remembered something from the BOS (which I can't find in my office right now) that said if the dictator said q 8 hours then it should be spelled out as every eight hours. Is that correct or am I losing my mind? ...

I know there are so many on here who are fed up with Medquist. But, can anyone tell me if there is any shift or days that work is usually available? Overnight shift? Evenings? I have 2 friends who work for MQ and they are not out of jobs when they work. (well, that's what they tell me). They said it actually just depends on the account. Is anybody here OK with MQ, maybe not perfectly happy, but not destitute either? TIA ...

so can someone clear me up about how to type q4h ?? (as in every 4 hours). thanks! ...

Ok, I'm not as fast as I used to be and the doctors keep giving names of physicians that are not on their list and are spelled different ways so I take the time to look them up because blanks are not a thing I like to leave on a report. Today we get an email that we can no longer work off the clock which for me is a problem. Do you take the time to look things up like that or what do you do to get past the OCD of trying not to leave a blank? I feel like MQ is chasing ...

Doc says q. 6 to 8 hours with food. Is that transcribed "q.6-8 hours"? Thanks for any help! ...

I thought if we logged 7 hrs/day was considered okay, but now I'm getting notices that it is supposed to be 8 hrs/day - 8 hrs a day of actual transcription is pretty hard to concentrate - the mind and body has to take breaks! ...

How many hours are considered FT? How about for PT work? Thanks. ...

As hard as it is for Nuance to get/retain employees has anyone every been able to negotiate for less than 20 hours PT with them? ...

I am planning on going PT, the least amount of PT as possible as I have been diagnosed with CHF and atrial fib and the stress of this job will wind up killing me. I am already on partial retirement, so just need a few extra hours/week. What is the least amount of PT hours a person can work? Thank you. ...

I have 13 hours left to work at this company and then I am done. I am typing what I consider good grammar for the ESLs and not worrying about an audit. My blood pressure has come down. I am cruising, not swearing and can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a train. This company has been wonderful to me for most of my time as an MT. I am saddened by the changes that have happened in the last few years. I am going to work in Central Supp ...

Have less than 3 hours of PTO. This is getting really old. ...

I noticed when I took a day off without pay, at the end of the pay period, the PTO earned shown in UltriPro was only 4.14 hours instead of 4.62. Does this mean if we take any of that 104 hours of unpaid time off they were so generous to give us, our actual paid time off will be cut? Has anyone else noticed this? How sleezy. ...

Does anybody work less than 20 hours? I now work 24 hours, but due to a medical condition, I am finding it hard to work 24 hours, 16 would be much better. Does anyone know if they make exceptions to the rule of at least 24 hours? ...

How are you all getting your hours in with the current low volumes? I do not work without being paid so I will NOT sit around 16 hours a day waiting for a report or 2 to come trickling in. Is everyone having this issue. I used to have a couple of exclusives who, since the TSM was let go, are no longer exclusives with no explanation as to why the change. So now I am pretty much at the mercy of what comes in and when, and as I said, I don't give any company my time without compensation fo ...

Does anyone work 12 or 16 hours/week? I see in the policies there are such hours that can be worked. I am wondering how to go about switching. Should I just tell my manager next pay period I have to switch to 12 or 16 hours? It is due to medical conditions and I just got disability but I find I need a little bit more money/month to feel safe. Im wondering if they will give me grief. I have been here 17 years and always pass my audits, the last 2 audits were 99 ...

Two questions: If you sign on to Medquist part time, is there a certain number of hours/schedule that you have to adhere to? Also, can you go over that number of hours (work extra) or do you need permission to do so? ...

I don't know about you all but my CCM is constantly asking us to work "extra," even when there are no late jobs and not an over abundance of dictation. What is the deal? The other night we were requested to work at least 1 extra hour. Tonight they are asking again. I don't know about you all but I have a family and other things I like to do other than work. Don't they realize we have lives away from MQ??? Besides, that extra hour is really not g ...

I always thought that you could carry over PTO under 40 hours into the new year but someone was telling me today that they did away with that policy or are doing away with that policy and that you will loose everything now and start fresh with PTO.... So is that true or is she just mistaken? If that is the case I am SCREWED because I didn't ask for any time off this season and will lose about 30 hours.... so I hope it is not. ...

Hello. I've got something I've been wondering about. I know that when saying something like "There is a 2-hour window ..." I should hyphenate 2-hour. What about when the word is plural? For example, 2 hours, 30 minutes, 4 days, etc. Do I hyphenate there? I work freelance for a lawyer doing SS disabilty claims, and he is extrememly laid back about rules (nor do I get any specific feedback) and I just do what I think is right, so I love to have somewhere I can go for experianc ...

per week? I work FT but my pay has been cut and I need to find PT work. I think all I could handle would be 10 hours a week. I could do this on weekends, 5 hours each. Is this a fantasy? Do companies want 20 hours per week? Anyone work a job less than 15 hours a week? TIA. :) ...

I am looking forward to enrolling in a medical coding class through Andrews School this fall. I was curious as to how many hours a night or week a student puts in studying. I work full time, and also have a prn evening job doing transcription in the community that I live. Those hours are flexible. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

I thought "IC" meant you worked the hours that met YOUR needs. You're already taking a hit on benefits and taxes, so it would seem that schedule flexibility would be the only reason to opt for IC status. I applied for a job that was IC with hours of "any time." When I interviewed for it, they had very specific hours they wanted their ICs to work - all crappy. I saw another IC job today that was "flexible" but farther down in the ad it stated "third shift full-time."& ...

I make about $100 a day after taxes doing transcription for 8 hours. I wanted to know if that sounds about right. I live in the south. TIA ...

Lines typed divided by lines per hour = how many hours you actually worked, even if what you have on your time sheet is more? Does this make sense to anyone? ...

I have had a heck of a time lately figuring out how to work days and I was looking for alternatives... Most of my accounts upload between 2-4pm everyday. TAT is 11am the following day. I have a son who is in daycare so I hate to work when he gets home from school, and I only have the evenings with my husband... What work hours do you use? Thanks!! ...
