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. 

Therefore, you do not have to file self-employment tax, like an IC.  You are still not an employee per se, in that you set up your own schedule/make your own hours.  You tell them how many lines you will do in a day, and every 2 months, you submit a schedule, telling them which days you will work.  

You have to have your own PC.  You can rent a C-phone from them, and some of the accounts are going to wav files, and I think the company provides the wav pedal for you. 

Hope this helps!

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.

let me know whether or not I passed the test or that they filled the position already!  Oh well, I suppose it was good experience! :)

The good new is, I was offered a position with 2 other companies (Echo and The Word Pros) and was able to accept both as The Word Pros is a p.r.n. position (sort of like a temp agency--you take work only if you want to).

I hope you love it at PMSI!
