I know that a lot of us were burned last year by this company. I am wondering if they are going to at least send the 1099 for what they should have paid us. I am wondering if they do not send it, how am I going to claim what they did not pay me as a loss? Thanks to all, hope everyone has found something better since that disaster.

Has anyone who worked for CorTmedical in 2006 gotten their 1099 yet?

Anyone know anything about CorTmedical?

Karen: If you are a newbie and want some on the job experience try applying. If you want to know more about the company from people who work there, then leave a post or email me: jenpoole31@yahoo.com
Okay, once again: In response to the poster who knows absolutely nothing of CorT: The owner is not mean, she is absolutely awesome. The pay is low when you start as it is an internship. Once you get off qa then your pay goes UP to what most companies are now offering. I am QA for the company. We have some truly amazing newbies at this company. They work hard, learn very quickly, and are just absolutely excellent. Sure there's an issue with the company getting paid by the other company. That means CorT is paying us out-of-pocket at the moment. This issue is being worked on and I'm more than willing to stick it out while they do. They are wonderful. I've never been with another company that was so upfront about the problems they're being faced with. If you have never worked there, don't know anybody who does, then keep your mouth shut with your negative thoughts.
When people post about MQ, as tired as I am of hearing it, I don't go posting my two cents. Because I've not worked there. Obviously you've never worked at CorT either. Or you tried but failed the test. Whatever.
CorTMedical
I've spoken with several people that work for them and they're pretty happy there.
I think it was Etranz that had the funds problems.
CORTMEDICAL
they have blown me off for 3 months now and now all of a sudden I get an email saying they have proof of all the mistakes I was making (yeah right) and that I was being over paid anyway. I am going to file a Civil suit against them. I have every email they sent me and I still have the work that I did. They are liars and horrible people.

Has anyone ever heard of CorTMedical transcription in Ohio? I just found their website and have never heard of them nor can I find anything about them in the archives. If anyone knows anything about them I'd appreciate some info.
I would give the website address but don't know for sure if we are allowed to post that on here. I only read and post on here sporadically. Thanks.
CorTMedical Pay
I got the impression from the website that they paid well, but like I said it was probably too good to be true..I would like the person who works there though to let us know about the pay there as well as bennies.
CorTMedical
I would be very cautious about working for this company. I worked for them in the past and my paychecks were ALWAYS late. They also bounced a payroll check to me, which my bank charged me for. I was told by the owner that I would be reimbursed for their mistake. That was back in March. The owner told me that he mailed the check out several times, but I never recieved it. He finally said that he would overnight a check to me if I did not recieve it within 2 weeks. That was about 2 months ago, and needless to say, I never got paid. Also, communication is very poor. I found that trying to get an answer about anything usually took at least a day, if not 2.
CorTmedical??
Anyone know anything about them?
Any comments on CortMedical?

CortMedical: Pay is lousy. nm
:)
CorTmedical has been great to me.
I came into this company as a newbie in their internship program not long ago. Their QA is wonderful and I have learned SO MUCH. I came into the company during a financial hurdle that was no fault of theirs. They have kept the employees informed and are caring and compassionate. They are still having trouble, I hope it ends for them soon. I believe they are good hearted bunch, hard working and well-meaning and I wish them the best. If I never see a penny...I will still be pleased with my experience with them. I have learned on the job and seen people at their best during the worst of times. That says a lot for them, I believe. I give them a thumbs up:)
CorTmedical Story
I know all of the facts around what happened with CorTmedical a few months ago. One of their clients did not pay them as scheduled and a few checks didnt clear because of this. It was a very unfortunate circumstance but the key principals and owners of that company paid back every cent plus any fees those employees suffered as promised. is was simply a bad time but everyone that i know that works for that company loves working for them. they are honest, compassionate and they treat there MTs and QA's extremely well. The are also growing very fast and are increasing they cpl rates to their workers by the month.
CorTmedical - Any info?
I am not sure about this company, anyone have any information? Seems they are new.
Happy with CorTmedical
Hi. I started in CorT's internship program and they had great QA and support by IM any time you need it. CorT had trouble early on when I started with them, because their client wasn't paying them. They are a smaller MTSO and many of them don't pay if their client doesn't. They got it straightened out and paid my back pay and have been on time since then. They did quite a bit of hand-holding with me since I was new and were very kind and patient. I was out of the internship within a couple of months. They seem to be a hard working bunch of people that really care about their employees. They gave me a chance when no one else would and I hope to stay with them:)

I went back to the website and saw they were close to Dayton..but would still like to know about bennies and cpl (ballpark)
CorTmedical....What is the DEAL?
Do they even have MTs working for them anymore? They do not pay their employees and they do not care. They need to just shut down their business! Anybody out there know what I can do about it? I am going report them to the Better Business Bureau.
CortMedical Transcription, anyone have any info
Has anyone worked for or does work for CortMedical Transription. Does anyone know anything about them and how they are to work for? Please let me know. Thanks
CorTmedical ~ any recent info on them?
Please email the Administrator regarding CorTMedical

Sorry - that is CorTmedical. I just get all frazzled even typing it!

1099
You can file without a 1099 -- as long as you have invoices, etc. that you sent them or copies of checks that they paid, you just report that amount to the IRS. You don't send in copies of the 1099 with your taxes you just report the income. Sometimes companies do not send out 1099 and figure it is up to the IC's to keep track of and report their income. But be sure you have copies of all invoices or billings to the company to verify what you got paid. That is why, when an IC you should invoice or bill out what your services to the company so that YOU have a record of what you did for the company.
no, you will get a 1099

1099
I emailed them and they told me they had some mixup and they hoped they would be sending them this week........
W2 -- 1099
is it focus informatics? Go to the job boards and get the email and send request. OR ggogle the business name and see what comes up and contact that way.
1099 no message
They do not have to send you a 1099 for what they did NOT pay you, However,
you still need to claim what you received regardless if they send you a 1099 or not and pay your taxes accordingly. I would report them to the IRS in either case, because I am sure you have tried to receive your past compensation without much success.
Anyone rec'd 1099 from Sten-Tel yet?
Still waiting on mine. This is from the Sten-Tel in Massachusetts.
Also, anyone know if they are hiring? I'm thinking about begging for my job back. 
thanks.
You'll get a 1099...
As a first-time IC, you may want to get some tax preparation help because you should have some write-offs that will most likely save you money.
1099 versus W2
An IC receives a 1099. You will see your total earnings under the section called Non-employee Compensation.
I totally agree with the other poster who said you should see a tax specialist, and I don't mean H&R Block. Ask friends and family who they would recommend. Don't just choose someone out of the phone book.
I'm also recommending that you get into the habit of deducting the money to pay your taxes with every single check you receive, unless you're really good with leaving your money alone (no matter what) and can pay your taxes quarterly. Also, a lot of people have different recommendations on how much you should set aside for your taxes. It can be anywhere from 20% to 30%, depending upon where you live. Discuss this with your tax specialist.
Oh, yes, it turned out I didn't need the 1099 after all
Just as said above, when I didn't receive it my accountant just told me to get my own information together and then send the employer a letter telling them that this is how much I earned, this is how much I'm going to claim. I guess I was just letting the OP know that I knew the feeling of not getting a 1099.
To the other poster above, I did get out of there as soon as I could. It was a local MTSO and at that point I was new and even now I didn't want to work for the Nationals so I stayed. The pay was good and as an IC I made my own hours. The only problem basically was the 1099 situation.
1099 Form amount
Isn't the amount $600.00? If you make that amount or more then you must be sent a 1099 form? I do have records of all of my earnings that I made last year. I made a little over $3,000.00 with this company. It was not that much, but enough to report in.
Sudden change in 1099 status?
why would a company after YEARS of having IC's suddenly push everyone into an employee status? Does this have anything to do with trying to make the company less likely to be unionized??? Or is there something else entirely going on that Im missing all the way around?
Still have not received 1099 form from previous employer!
Am I not correct that employeers are supposed to send out 1099 forms by the 31st of January? I quit a company back in May of 2007 and I still have not yet received a form. I guess I should contact these people? You would think they would have sent it to me by now! It's frustrating having to contact old employers because you really do not want to have to be bothered by them anymore!
Agree with Patti. MTOS sends 1099 as courtesy,

my first year I made 16k. Doubled that second year. Going on year 6 with (sm)
two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year. Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea. I'm pretty motivated. (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes I'd say 40-50/week. I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so. Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes.
that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education.
I'm pretty motivated.
Last year, there was a letter sent that told us what we earned the previous year. sm
In the past, it has been all or nothing; if you did not hit the lines for full time for the year, you did not get PTO. I talked to my lead this morning about a last-minute vacation and she told me that the yearly packets are going out in a week or so and that the new policy will acrue PTO by the pay period or month. I like that a lot better, but she also made it sound like they are upping the amount of lines needed to acrue PTO. I normally get between 15 and 20,000 lines per pay period, so I am sure that will be fine but I am worried about the periods that have lower volumes, like most of January every year.
Webmedx lets you carry them from year to year sm
You can accrue up to 140 hours (I think) before you stop the accrual process. Don't have to use it all in one year.
I would stick it out, most places are slow now through the end of the year every year (nm)

Last year $36K part time, going to make more this year full time BUT sm
I AGREE it IS getting harder to make money. I used to make $24 very part time 10 years ago and now...well it is Word and platforms versus WP5.1. I got 7.5 cents a byte line then and I get 9.5 cents a character line now. That IS a huge different in point of fact.
OH I WANT MY WORDPERFECT 5.1 BACK!!!!! Bwaaah!
Have been with them for over a year...sm
and have no complaints. Pay is always on time and they have direct deposit. I have rarely ran out of work on my main account, but when I do I have a backup account to work on. There are incentives offered often as well. I don't see a high turnover rate...the reason they are hiring new MTs is because they have new accounts. Good luck in your job search!
Been on it for over a year and
still struggling. My lines went from 1,500 to 2,000 a day down to 800 to 1,000 if I am lucky. Still haven't found the courage to quit :(
Yes, they were. This year and I believe one other year. nm
Last year
Last year when I worked there I live in Texas and had BCBS of Tennessee through them since they are located in TN. Just FYI. Good luck!
Well over a year..nm
xx
first year pay
I was lucky to make 15000 the first year.
I am making it now but hard in the beginning.
Wow, a year?
 That's great!! I know of one that is $3000.00! You have a great deal there.
Been with them almost a year
I've been with SPI/Cymed for almost a year (at the beginning of March) and the benefits seem to be okay, but I have never had to use them. When I first started with them last March, it was still just Cymed. I did hear that since they merged with SPI that the benefits were supposed to be less expensive when they go to get them again this year.
No, it's DURING second year (after 1)
