I am considering a part time position with this company. As a part time employee, I was expecting the hours to be 4 hours a day, but a friend of mine also with Nuance says part time involves 8 hours on either Sat. or Sun. I was expecting and perfectly OK with 4 hours on the weekend, like any other day a part time person would normally work. Why would they expect a part time person to work 8 hours on a day when the dictation is coming in at a lesser rate than M-F if a weekend day is a normal workday for their staff to begin with? They shouldn't be understaffed for those days.
If any of you work part time for Nuance, can you verify that this is REQUIRED, or is it something you can work out with your supervisor? Do you get off completely on another day during the week as well as either the Monday or Friday already built in. Can you flex your hours, for example 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, or do they like all 4 together as a straight shift, like 8-12 or something? Used to another company that is fairly flexible; they normal hours but will work around things without too much problem and only 4 on the weekend, like every other day considered a normal work day.
