Does TTS hire ICs or employee status only? nm
xx
Anyone know of Escription companies that offer IC status. I do not want employee status but would
like to stick with the Escription platform at all possible.
Does Ablescribe hire employee status?
If they do, any comments on how they pay QA? Good company?
Are there any companies that will hire PRN for IC status?
I think maybe what I need is a PRN IC job that will let me work when I need to (like when there is no work on my main account) so that Im not idle and making NO MONEY for that day or few hours or whatever it ends up being. If you know of any place that does this, please let me know.
I posted asking for companies who hire p.r.n. IC status sm
I am not asking for companies to contact me. I am merely asking if there areny MTs out there who know of companies that have this as an option. No different than any other question about companies here, such as who hire FT, PT, benefits available, etc. This is not a job wanted posting. This is a posting asking to give me ideas on where to start my search and if such arrangements exist.
PLEASE give people a break here, this is what this board is supposed to be for isn't it, a place for MTs to network and learn from each other?
Can anyone please tell me what companies hire p.r.n. status? Cleary, I'm going to need a backup
plan through all this BEFORE Jan. 1st. Thank you!
Are there any companies that hire emp status and let you work sort of a split?
I would like to work 6 hours during the day while kids are in school and then about 2 hours in the evening. Are there companies that will allow this? Do they have affordable benefits?
Employee status companies?
I was wondering if anyone out there would know of any companies that have employee status.
My husband and I are so close to being able to get approved for a home loan but the bank can't count my earnings until I have worked 3 years IC status with tax returns to prove it and I am only at 2 years but we are forced to move out within the next 2 months as our landlord is selling the house we are renting.
But if I can get employee status where my taxes are taken out for me (if MT companies even do that for work-at-home people), I only have to work 30 days and then we can qualify for a decent loan.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks for reading my story.
VR Companies with Employee Status
I'm looking for a company with employee status that does VR. I have two IC accounts, but want something to do where I can have my taxes taken off. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
What companies offer employee status?
I'm needing to get health insurance through work and wanted to know what companies offer this. I'd prefer a company that required 1000 lines or less per shift if that is possible. The line rate really isn't that important as my main concern would be a good family health plan.
Any leads are appreciated! Thanks.
Y don't companies with employee and IC status stop the ICs from working
when work is slow? Is it because they don't want their FT employees to get enough lines to keep benefits? The ICs can say when they will work, when they will take off, so the companies should do the same for them. No wonder there is no loyalty to companies.
Any companies out there paying 9.5 to 10 cpl for employee status with bennies?
Please!. I am looking. I have 20+ years experience in all work-types, acute care, multispeciality clinic, 98% and above on accuracy, 1600 lines per day. I'm sort of desperate, but don't want to settle!
Any companies offer QA/Editor jobs (employee status)
I currently work as an Editor (IC) for a company that pays a rather low hourly rate ($12). I can only be considered for an increase after working 6 months if I average 300+ lines an hour(to $14). Compound this with the fact that there is usually no work.
I find it impossible to do more than 300 lines an hour while providing feedback therefore, I will never get a raise! I am looking to work for a company as an employee who pays well (hourly) whether there is work or not. I'm very concerned about not having enough work to meet my financial obligations.
Which companies offer PTO for part time employee status, along with contributing 401K, shift....sm
 differentials, and incentive based pay plan? I think I covered it all. Mostly looking for PTO as a part time employee. Thanks for your replies.
Agree..with IC status, equip. is your responsibility; employee status - you should SM
not have to pay out-of-pocket for use of their equipment. I would never work employee status for a company who required me to purchase or lease their equipment. The only thing I would find acceptable is to have a small security deposit taken out of paycheck when starting with a company. This will protect the company from those few who might abuse the equipment.
Employee status w/benefits vs IC status??? Dilemna enclosed
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
Does MDI-FL hire IC status?
Thanks
Does MD-IT hire IC status? nm
nm
they only hire IC status apparently. That's all I know.

They hire both IC and employee. I am an employee (see message)
and I have full benefits. I am very happy that I came to work here. I came as a statutory employee from a large company. Everyone at MDI has been great to me.
Since when does TransTech hire IC status? You might want to post the correct information. nm

Thanks, I think employee status though
I applied 2 months ago and checked the ad again on their website. The hours stink. SO, I'll go and see what they offer, but not sure. Hours, days are Monday, Thurs,Fri,Sat, Sun. 3 to 11:30 pm, then Sat and Sun 7am to 3:30pm. YUCK! I don't remember those hours from when I applied that long ago! Am curious to see what they offer though. Will post after I find out. Job is in Minnesota, Twin Cities metro, but will be home-based.
0.738 cpl actually if employee status sm
To figure out what a line rate would be for employee status - you just subtract 7.65% from the IC line rate. My neighbor is an HR specialist and teaches the tax classes at a bank here. She said the only difference is that you pay the 7.65% FICA instead of the employer paying it. There are so many ignorant people out there saying you pay 30% more - you don't. You pay the same, plus the above amount - for me equals about 28% total, not 30% additional.
No they are not IC. Employee status
and I believe 1,000 lines is FT. No pressure. Very easy going. Not sure of benefits yet. Not sure if you can be IC or not.
I am FT and plan to stay FT and can easily do 1,000 but struggle with 1,2000 because of lack of work and crap I am stuck with because of cherrypicking the work.
They pay less than I am making now and cannot really afford to go just yet.
Also they count spaces and headings for line count.
FT & PT - employee status - sm
I work for them too and love it there. The specialties they are hiring for are probably Ortho and Onc. Great place to work, nice people. Very happy.
Employee status
Amphion has all employee-status positions.
Employee status only. nm
Employee status?
Does ScribeRight offer employee status or just IC? Thanks.
Employee Status?
Do they offer regular employee status?
No employee status, IC or SE...SM
and absolutely no benefits I don't care what state you live in. Horrible dictators, 90% ESL.....office staff is great, pay always on time and there is usually plenty of work.
Employee Status?
Do they hire ICs or employee status as well? Do they hire remote transcriptionists or local only? Do you furnish all of your own equipment? Thanks!
The TH QA is employee status.

They have employee status as well.

IC to employee status
Would appreciate any recommendations for companies to check out that offer IC or SE status with the option of becoming an employee with benefits if things work out. Been burned too many times to jump ship anymore without testing the waters first. Looking for acute care and/or radiology. Thanks.
my employee status seems to be different...
I get paid $21/h plus incentive. My employee status seems to be different from those below. We do not have to produce by line because we ACTUALLY get paid by the hour. Minimum is 75 minutes per 8-hour shift, 50 cents incentive (I wish it was more) after the 75 minutes. If there is no work, we still get paid $21/h. We are backed up by a union who renews/ratifies our contract every three years with the hospital. Of course, if we wanted to, we could figure out how many lines we actually type an hour but we don't need to. Our MTs used to work in the hospital before they sent us home to save money. I admit, because of this benefit, I slack every now and then to watch TV or do laundry knowing I get a set pay every two weeks, but in order for us to stay qualifed to work at home, we need to meet the minimal requirement of 75 productive minutes, which is actually not hard to do. With that said, if we say, lose electricity, we can use 1-hour downtime. After that, we have one hour to get to the office to continue our work.
We had an earthquake in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago resulting in total black out on all islands (Oahu 16 hours). Some of the MTs took PTO, some made up time on another day.
Employee Status
You might actually end up with a little more if you type the same number of lines/reports since you only have to pay half your taxes and FICA but remember then no deductions either.
IC status vs. employee
IC means different things to different companies. I was an inhouse (employee) at a local company doing both rad and acute care, mainly rad. Due to supervisor's pets not pulling their weight and management's refusal to hire help for growing accounts, me and one other coworker were stuck working all the time. Every time I left the house for an errand, dinner, etc., and got on the computer, I had Yahoo instant messages waiting on me like ARE YOU THERE?, Where are you?! We need your help! These jobs are out of turnaround time and Ms. X from ABC hospital is complaining! Regardless of the fact I worked late, sometimes till 4 a.m., I was not appreciated. I finally decided this was not worth 8 cents per line and left there. Both as an employee and as an at-home IC, I was done dirty numerous times and had my pay docked once because another MT was sick and left me to do her (backed up) work. Just because it was my weekend, when the account complained I was docked. I started looking for another job that very hour.
Sorry to ramble but my point is, it doesn't matter (from my experience anyway) what status you are, how you are treated and whether or not you are overworked depends on the company.
Employee status
You are an employee when they pay your taxes, and then if you use their computer, they own you......
Employee vs. IC status
I agree with the not-so-great aspects of IC status...I'm single, what if I get disabled, or laid off, or any number of different scenarios...you have NO PROTECTION then...there is a reason all the labor unions battled for these kinds of worker protections! If you have got back up then maybe IC is a good thing...but if you are on your own...not so sure...
Is this for IC or employee status?
It sounds like their ER accounts are for employee status, or do they offer IC? They seem like a good company from what I've read. Good luck!
If you are employee status, can you...sm
say what the benefits cost, time off, etc. is. Thanks very much.
Employee status only
Have you read the MQ board?? Are you sure you want to do this??
I had always been employee status and had never been an SE or IC before.. (sm)
I did like the freedom of being able to basically set my own schedule. But I was so used to having taxes taken out and having the benefits and realized after I took the job that I just wasn't going to make enough money to cover my own insurance policy. It was a great company. I think if it had been at a different point in my life it might have worked out. But I had just left Medquist and was deeply in debt because all my accounts at MQ dried up and I was getting no work. I decided to go with Keystrokes then and I'm glad I did because they take out my taxes, I have benefits again AND they are very flexible. I know there are a lot of SE's and IC's that are very happy...it just wasn't for me at that particular time.
No ICs -- employee status only.

Employee status only. nm

All employee status
They are hiring for full-time status with great benefits.
Are you IC or employee status? nm

employee status
I sued the company which was national at the time along with 10 other MTs. Yes, the time sheets were altered but I had the originals which were not tainted. I sued them for OT and downtime and won along with the other MTs. It can be done and companies will stop doing this to people.
If you are employee status I'd think
maybe depending on your state and their temporary disability plan you'd possibly be covered under that. In my state it's 6 weeks maternity allowed. I worked right up until the end with my kids so I could use my entire 6 weeks postpartum. If you have to leave earlier with your doctors approval you can actually have the 6 weeks increased.
employee status...sm
I do not work for an MTSO as an employee. I was actually hired by the HOSPITAL (union, 5 months pto in a year, sick leave, etc). Work is slow today for us also, but we are still getting paid with time and 1/2. Maybe you should apply at an actual hospital?
Employee status........sm
My pet peeve is when hired on as an employee, the minimal line count say for instance is 1200 lines.....BUT....they also require you to work 8 hours...A friend works as an employee for a large national, and she gets her 1200 lines in less than 8 hours....BUT...they still want her to type...To me, that is crazy. Why don't they just pay hourly if that is the case....Asking for 8 hours AND a certain number of lines....i have never understood that...and this company does not EVEN offer benefits!! I think all national companies are run by Idiots!
