I said it before, when MTs were first forced to go the employee route..it's all about control...same for statutory.  They have no right to dictate shifts/hours unless you're paid for your time by the hour.  In either, you only get what you produce, per production. You might think you're ahead with employee status because of benefits.  But what happens when you can't make your line count, even through no fault of your own?  The only square deal is IC status... you get what you pay for..no more, no less.  They don't pay for your time.. so they can't dictate a schedule.  What other industry would require a certain amount of your time and not pay for your time?  It would be different if they were to guarantee a certain wage per hour/day, etc... but they can't even guarantee there will even be any work.

I work for AcesUp as a full-time transcriptionist.  I have found the management team to be easy to work with.  I have experienced above average accounts in terms of ESL dictators (very little), etc.  It has been a dream to work for them compared to other well recognized national companies.  You can work for this company and still have a life!!

a job on here today...HIP or Health Information Partners. I didn't find much in the archives about them but what I found was favorable. I have been employee status my whole life but with the new Medquist pay scales this year, my paychecks took a big nosedive. I think I am only going to apply to companies that have IC status even though I'm somewhat afraid of doing that. I just need bigger paychecks and more flexibility with scheduling and I'm hoping if I do get hired as an IC somewhere, I will learn to really like it and earn more money!!

I am caught between a rock and a hard place and figure this is the place to get the best advice from those in the know.  I have been an IC for the past 5 years and love the flexibility but was interested in a job with benefits.  I started a new job about a month ago with good pay (2 lph more than I was making) and benefits......very happy with company but as an employee, obviously have a schedule.  I am working both jobs currently and starting to burn out.  On the new job, I am struggling to get the 1200 lines per day required but on my old.... I can easily get 150-400 lph depending on the dictator but again, it is IC and less lph than the new job.  Obviously, the platform is different and not paid for template headers/footers wheras the old one, I am paid for those.  Now to my question.  Is it just me?  Is it because I really enjoyed the freedom of ic status and therfore seem to be struggling?   Anyone else experienced this before?  Tempted to go back told job and lose benefits/more pay because in the end, maybe it works out be the same pay because of amount of time I spend getting the job done?   Not sure if this makes sense but hoping you can all offer some advice!!  TIA

There is a difference.  Employers pay the SS tax on statutory employees; IC's are responsible for all the taxes.

I applied with 3 MTSOs not too long ago (about 4 months).  Two of them were statutory status and the other was employee status.  The 2 SE's offered me 9.5 and 9 cpl to start.  The ES offered me 8 cpl with benefits. 

There are many things to consider besides just a starting cpl when choosing an MTSO.  For me, flexibility and reliability of work flow was more important than a little more per line.  I ended up with the MTSO that paid 9 cpl because I don't need the benefits. 

I have seen some IC's on these boards say they make 11 cpl and up.  I think a lot of those IC's are truly IC's, contracted by local hospitals, etc.  I'm sure there are SE's that make that as well, I just don't know too many that start out at more than 10 cpl these days. 

What is statutary exactly?  They just take out FICA/Medicare, not federal or state and you still do a schedule C? I have to find another job as where I work now we just lost a big account with no notice.  Last day is tomorrow.

I just recently started working for MQ.  Everyone is getting me confused.  First, I am emailed about a rental fee.  I called and told them I was an employee.  I got my first paycheck and they only took out state and federal taxes.  So, I am still as confused as they are.  I left 3 messages for payroll and 3 emails.  No answer as of yet.  Are they supposed to take out all taxes if I am a full time employee?  They only took out state and federal. Does this make a statutory? 

Thanks for any infor. 

I have been with MQ since 1983 when they were still Transcriptions Limited (the good old days).  I don't know what they are doing and I wish I knew.  I am part-time 5000 lines a pay period but it only takes me two hours to do 500 lines so that works fine with me.  I am on disability and only work enough to supplement by SS.  Plus I cannot sit more than two hours at a time so it works out fine.  If they come up with this 4 hour minimum then I am in a heap of trouble.

I had someone from corporate call today to ask if I had gotten that letter about the new program.  At the time I told him no, but I think I did I just can't find it.  I have just gotten out of the hospital after a 12 day stay and can't even get my mind together to figure it out.

I don't like the sound of things but we will know in October according to this guy who called.

I was told today that we would know in October.

As I know it, if you were an SE and taxes were taken out, you can file for unemployment.....
