Check the IRS info sm

Posted By: desperado on 2007-10-17
In Reply to: Question about taxes for statuatory employees (sm) - Not an accountant

you can Google IRS home office and get the info, it's pretty explanatory.  You can deduct percentage of home expenses and all of things that pertain to your business alone.  Just be careful and document everything very well.

Check your employee info...sm
I would bet they have themselves covered on that end.

Horrible company to work for.
If you check archives there is info there on SmartMed, don't know about
other company.  I tested for SmartMed (they went by a different name though) and was offered an MT position, which I turned down.  They called about a month later to offer me a QA position because they had started offshoring work.  Not much nice to say about them from recent posts. 
Check archives, plenty of info.

Does background check include credit check?

"You can check my credit if I can check yours"

Credit check, FBI check was not for
me. The notion that if you don't pay your bills means your not a responsible person really kills me!!! Lots of people have $$ problems, especially if you are an MT, LOL!!! They are the only company I know that does these checks. Seems a little anal to me!!!
They can check mine if I can check theirs...nm

Any recent info on MedTrans Unlimited? newest archived info is 9 months old... m

Has anything changed in 9 months? Particular worries are the invoice/pay time; one post mentioned 2 to 3 week wait and another post stated 1 week. Info from the company states pay is sent out 10 days after the last day of the billing period, but we all know what is said and what is done isn't always the same. Another concern is the platform; some mentioned it was slow and cumbersome. They have 2 platforms from what I can gather.. Are they both slow? It seemed like certain specialties were done on certain platforms, or at least that is what I got out of the archives. I really hate to jump from the frying pan to the fire so any info would be VERY much appreciated.. the good, bad, and the ugly! TIA!!


Any Axolotl employees willing to share info., platform, ESL %, etc. All info greatly appreciated. sm

Along with the platform, ESL %, pay range, lpd required, split shift or 12-24 hour window available, I would be interested in knowing your personal experience with this company, what type of relationship you have with supervisors and other coworkers, etc.  Otherwise, the all the 411. 


Thanks!


Current info on Diskriter?? Past info was very mixed. Either MTs hated it or liked it, does anyone

love working there and why? Do you easily meet your incentive pay or as past people have said, the ESL are so bad that you never meet the line count. I need current and new information. Isnt there a company out there that has a handful of happy employees or does all of them have both the haters and lovers. It is so hard to sort out fact from fiction sometimes and all of us have different expectations. It kind of goes along with the one man's junk is another man's treasures theory, I suppose.


Any new info on Amphion? Archive search doesn't provide new info (sm)
Looking for a part-time position with decent pay and decent workflow. There's nothing new in the archives.
Need info on eMTS out of Florida. Any info would be appreciated!

Any new updates on Focus for QA? Good info/bad info? sm msg
I checked the archives and read all the messages.  Have things changed for the better here?  Is there steady, reliable work?  Able to make any decent money?  Thanks!
Thank you. I will check into it.

MQ check

Well, that threw me for a curve when I got the ipay notice, checked it out on ADP's site and it said for DEP adjustment???


I have'nt got the real check yet and did not know a letter was to accompany the check I was not expecting, so what is this for?

You bet they can - check this out.

First Pay Check?
Is this your first paycheck from the company? If it is, then that's what happened to me on my first pay check only. I get paid every two weeks, but the first paycheck was withheld for two weeks so when I finally got paid I waited 6 weeks, but now my pay comes every two weeks.

Did you check... (sm)
The system status on the main page? As of 1 pm PDT, status is Okay -- sort of -- It's the phone company's fault. (It was that way a couple of hours ago, too.) Clearly there's a technical problem of some sort(but I'm not sure I'd get paranoid about it and/or say Same Old S...)
no check yet either

Yes, I am in the same situation with the same company.  They informed of my 9 cents rate and weekly pay.   That was two and a half weeks ago.  The work was definitely there and they constantly calling me to work.  I got suspicious the second day when they did not send me a 1099 and no other paperwork besides their MT scope letter which means nothing but what hours can you commit to.  Well, I felt it was too good to be true.  I really like the account too but they wanted to me email every 30 minutes the work so they could cut and paste the work into the system.  I was like how the system know if it was my work etc, etc.  By the grace and mercy of prayer I have a job with benefits now while I was only IC with DocuMed.


FBI check and OSi
FBI called a friend's ex to get the scoop on me. He was later arrested for sex crimes and served time for that. Yeap talk about big brother OSi and FBI go hand in hand they have a ton of gov't accounts. We received an insurance settlement from a car accident and I was able to quit & leave them behind. Good riddance to them. That whole experience was awful.
Be sure you check out other
sources of job ads or even just look around for companies in your area and send in a resume even if you don't know if they are hiring. Check Craig's list for your area. Check sites like Monster. Watch for jobs that want a resume faxed or mailed instead of e-mailed. They do that so they get a lower volume of resumes, which works to your advantage.

Go to bbfb.com (Best Buy for Business). They have XP available only on-line.

I bought mine the first of August. I even went to bbfb.com, found one that I liked and added it to my cart but did not buy one that day. A day or two later Best Buy e-mailed me asking me if I was still interested in buying a computer, and they offered me a 10% discount.

I found this while doing a Google search.  It seems like her company name is fictitious. 


FICTITIOUS BUSINESS NAME


STATEMENT File No. 20070676. The following person(s) is(are) doing business as: FASTPHALANGES, 3850 Rio Road #40 Carmel, CA. 93923. SUSAN BARRIER 3850 Rio Road #40 Carmel, CA 93923. This business is conducted by an individual. Registrant commenced to transact business under the fictitious business name listed above on: March 7, 2007. (s) Susan Barrier.  This statement was filed with the County Clerk of Monterey County on March 16, 2007. Publication dates:  Mar. 30, Apr. 6, 13, 20, 2007 (PC 336)


I certainly would proceed with caution if I was anyone thinking of working there.  Fictitious, not for me!!  NO way, Jose!


NO...No check yet.
No check here yet either. My check has been 3 to 4 days late for the last two months or so, but anticipate one shortly. Hopefully. I know the mail does take a couple of days and then the weekend was here, but.....
no check
I too didn't quit when the first check bounced. They gave me the story that they were in the process of switching bank accounts. But then the second check bounced. Before that, my check kept getting later and later until finally I was lucky to receive my check within two weeks of payday, so I suspected something was going on for the last six months.

The archives, I mean.  Alot of excellent people with good skills and success before and after Alltype were used and abused there.  Just trying to give you a heads up without going negative.  Watch your back and the best of luck to you.


kS check
Hello, I am expecting my 2nd check today from them!  Last pay, which was my 1st, they did direct deposit it, but it didn't show til about noon on that day.  The payroll dept. at KS were very nice to email out an attachment to me as to how much it was, etc.  I am assuming this is their routine, because I didn't ask them to do it.  Very nice, I thought.  However, I never got a hard copy in the mail, so suppose if you want record, keep that, or print it out.  Good luck, keep checkin the bank and your email.  Happy KS-ing!!!!!

You might want to check out the company below.  They were willing to hire me PT as an IC but I had to turned them down because I accepted another position.  I believe they are located in Maine.  Good luck.

tt pay check

I sent email to company Sat saying only 1 pay check was deposited.  Monday morning there was a Fed Ex envelop on door with check from new company - I am a newbie too.  This is my first pay check.  So far the people have been terrific.


 


Check

I never had that problem with StatIQ.  The check that they mail on the 15th is from work invoiced from the 16th through the end of the previous month.  It is possible that you started there recently?  If you sent an invoice on the 1st, that should be the check that gets mailed on the 15th.  I just never had that problem when I worked there and thought maybe this could be what's going on. 


BG check....sm
How extensive? Are we talking ciminal history or credit and the whole 9 yards?
MQ BG Check

I started working for the Q a little over a year ago.  When I applied I authorized a BGC, but have no idea if they did one or not. 


I agree about not liking it on face value.  It seems to me in cases where an MT has many years of employment, once any co. verifies dates involved that should be good enough on the front end.  But what do I know?


Companies can check on anyone by paying for the program, etc.  It seems like it'd be standard for big companies (regardless of our opinions about it). 


If you want to be mad any anyone, steer it in the direction of our government (both sides).  Remember your last trip to the airport, where you (generic-looking American) got screened, while questionable people skated through?  How about the stories about LOLs in wheelchairs and nuns getting patted down.  It's all part of stripping away our freedoms, and both R&D are guilty.  Heck, had I known/realized MQ was shipping work to India at the time, I would've kept looking.  While I certainly don't like either, the India issue is far bigger to me.


 


thanks -- will check them out ... sm

I can do rigid scheduling and production for the 20 hours a week they require for part time ... hey, I might even be willing to work evenings for 20 hours a week ... hey, I'd be happy to transition to full-time after getting my feet wet ...


it's the 1200-1500 lines/8 hour shift requirements that I can have NO PROBLEM doing on a good day with familiar accounts and work available but which easily can stretch into 1200 lines/12 hours or more when work is unavailable or there are platform problems (why I left last employee status national gig) ...


Thanks for the tip ... . will check them out further!
