I'm like to know the answer to her post also. I have worked for an MT company in NY state,

In Reply to: upstateMT, what do you mean, they are "not registered in NY" - sm - mag
and while I lived in another state at that time, I received full benefits; Ic or employee status had no bearing on receiving benefits. If I were the original poster, I would check this company out very thoroughly. Something just doesn't sound right tax-wise.

If company is in state that has no state taxes
they are not required to take out state taxes. It's enough to keep up with your own state tax law code, could you imagine having to stay abreast of 49 other state tax codes? The cost would be huge and ultimately passed on to us by lower line rates. Regardless of who owes the tax, someone has to pay it. Just a matter of convenience I guess.
good post, but sad state of affairs nm
.
Wouldn't we all..but I did apply and have not heard anything. See the post below where they state
the work is consistent and sporadic. I just figured something like that could be a good IC job and still keep my FT.
Today is Columbus day, and state offices and post office
is closed. Perhaps some docs took a long weekend. Maybe that is why on this particular Monday the work is trickling in. I am just getting some work now. So maybe it will come in later. Just an idea, about it being a holiday.
In answer to your post
People wanted to know the company name so I answered the question.
you read the post before you answer! sm
I said I was asked to do this account but didn't because of what I had heard.
Why is it whenever somebody has something to say about their experience about any company there aer always people here to b@*^! and moan and practically call them liars.
Some folks have good experiences with one company while another does not. Geeze get over it.
Thanks guys for taking the time to respond to my post. I'll go with the State job if offered.
I may do some PT/IC a couple days of the week just to keep my skills up and just in case they offer the lower rate of pay.
Gonna miss you Guys. Thanks for all your help.
To answer your last post, i've been at MQ 10 years
The supervisors are downright cold compared to the ones I actually knew and accommodated me instead of jerking me around. I still do what i'm supposed to, it just goes unnoticed. Its scary to think, even in spite of doing a job well done, it could just be taken away like that with no regard. I just find myself panicked with the type of work i'm getting now, lack of communication, and these posts saying its only going to get worse. If I had a backup plan, I wouldn't be so frazzled all the time. But this is it for now. 
Sory for double post, please answer at least one...LOL

Where's my post??wanted to check for an answer
I posted yesterday looking for information on a company that had called me. I cannot find my post or any answers. Is this board pruned regularly? Could not find anything in the archives either. thanks - i may just need to post again.
Do you think you get a better response to post your resume on here or answer ads on here. Which one
seems to give the best result.
I asked this the other day on another post - didn't get an answer
xx
I hope you saw my original answer to this post
over on the main board before they moved your post and thus dropped my reply....
$48 for the medical, $10 for the dental, and I don't know how much for the vision because I didn't opt in for it this year. That's per paycheck, do double that to get the monthly fee. I did opt for the higher-deductible medical; the lower-deductible premium share was about twice as much.
Note post on main board re: MTIA forcing credentialing. Can we say police state?
??
I am not an IC, but my company is in a state that
doesn't have state tax and therefore they don't pay any state tax. I just have extra $$ taken out of DH check to cover me. The first year I underestimated and got a penalty of about $55 for underpaying, but after that I've gotten a little back, so we finally found the balance.
what state is this company in?
nm
Can you state the company.....sm
It would help others maybe avoid this person/company?
Can you tell me the state this other company in?
NM
Your post doesn't answer the question I asked.
You said you LIKE to pay your bills, you have a good rapport with your supervisor, you're flexible. Does "you're flexible" mean that you work in addition to your 8-hour shift when the work load is low to make your 20K lines per pay period?
I agree...you post a simple answer and someone has a bad day and WHAM...
turns into a huge thing...
Look it up in the state the company is located. sm
You should be able to download a form or they'll send you one.
Yes it is, but they didn't state the name of the company
.
What company is this? Or at least tell us the state in which it is located, please.
can you tell us which state or company? Are you an employee or IC? sm
I know that a certain company in NY was investigated a few years back because of treating ICs like employees.
I hope it is not the company I work for as I am finally happy after being miserable for the last 3 years and 50 jobs.
Anyone who works for a FL company, pls see FL state board. Thanks. NM
xxxxx
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
If your company is never out of work or always back-logged, can you state the name? Thx. nm
,
Acutally it's the Mass. Sten-Tel. Hmm...same state as your company. In cahoots, maybe? nm

Without Naming Company, Does anyone know cost of COBRA for out-of-state employees?
x
I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
If you say which company, we might be able to answer more accurately.
x
That's the company's bogus answer
I work every Saturday 10a-2p and come back and do 10p-2a. On Sundays, I usually do a fairly similar schedule. I have primary responsibility for two hospital accounts, one a very large teaching hospital and the other a mid-size community hospital. I could count one hand the number of STATs I get from both hospitals either day, and even that would be a really busy STAT day for the pair. For whatever reason, you want to buy into management's BS, but the only person you're fooling is yourself.
Unless something has changed, health insurance rates vary state by state, so we may not have the
info you need. I'm an IC so I don't have benefits.
You are correct. The state that rules is the state the employee lives in.
My state laws has is spelled out in their Code. If another state does not withhold, they are fined heavily and if they don't withhold for years, their fines are pretty bad. I worked for a Florida co that did not withhold income tax for my state even after I brought it to their attention in the state code. They kept saying that they would eventually and never did. After two plus years and when I left, I made it known to my state all the conversations, the state refunded me all late fees they charged me and then said they were going after the company in Florida because they had many employees in our state. They deserved it. They knew better.
NM, saw the answer on the Company board. Congrats!

I work for the company and to answer some of your questions
When you talk about flexible, what do you mean, working whenever you want or just what? I might get slammed for it but do not care but companies need to be able to set some kind of schedules to get their work done, so dont know exactly what kind of flexibility you want. How long to make money? Well, again that has all to do with the person working. Are you a newbie with 3 months experience or have you worked 20+ years and doing the work is like taking candy from a baby? Variables. Is is worth accepting a job there, depends on you. I work there, have for about 3 years, love it but everyone is different.
company does not answer e-mails or phone calls
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of you have experienced this. I use to work for this company full-time. I went to part-time because we were running out of work and I decided to go back to school (because I am tired of this game with having work and then running out).............
Anyway when I dropped to part-time, my insurance was cancelled (which I know happens) but the premiums are still being taken out of my check. I have 2 checks now with those premiunms being taken out.............I have called payroll and left e-mails (this lady never responds)............now I am thinking this illegal...........
Feedback please. I would like to stay on with this company part-time but...........
Email me privately. I think we work for the same company and I have an answer for you.
I went through all of this about 6 months ago and if it's the same company I'll give you the lowdown.
The state you live in or the state where the MTSO is located? nm
nm
can't anyone answer my question - what's with all the puffy "love the company" comments
I didn't ask if this is a good company to work for.
how do we work it? Easy answer - work for another company. That happened with the company
I was working for. I would wake up at 4 a.m. AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOO because they needed "coverage" supposedly and I would sit until 9:30 or noon without any work. Sorry, but my rent of $1450/month could not be paid with only $57/day. So I got another job and when I got the equipment and everything, then I quit for the other employer.
I think at one time I saw you post that you worked
for the same company I do in FL. Only, if you work for them I want a raise - LOL. I am an employee but don't make that much, but I do have some bennies, so maybe we don't work for the same company.
I never worked for KS but her post was very clear to me
that the people she was talking about did not work for KS, but the account.
TT management does not answer questions that you ask them; only answer those they want to answer.
I know, work for a long time and tried asking questions, but they just beat around the bush and don't answer the true question that you presented to them.
Maybe it is kite flying weather where you are !!!
YOu gave Colleen no constructive info. "Run" is not an answer to the question of how a company
:+
Well said. Never worked for D&L but when I read the "IC" post, that was my thought as well..nm

Not state by state, federal labor law - sm
and you don't have to be asked. If you work it, asked or not, they have to pay time and a half OT rate for hours worked over 40 in a week.
Taken right from U.S. Dept of Labor -
An employer who requires or PERMITS an employee to work overtime is generally required to pay the employee premium pay for such overtime work. Employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)MUST receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek of at least one and one-half times their regular rates of pay. The FLSA does not require overtime pay for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest.
Extra pay for working weekends or nights is a matter of agreement between the employer and the employee (or the employee's representative). The FLSA does not require extra pay for weekend or night work or double time pay.
Different state to state. You would be surprised to find
IC can be defined differently state to state. Even the IRS cannot come up with a definitive set of rules. You would be surprised how many ICs actually get unemployment in some states. If the unemployment claim form asks specifically if you are an independent contractor, do not lie, but if it does not, do not volunteer it. Let the company prove you are a true IC according to the rules of your state. All you lose is a few minutes filling out the claim form. I would only do it as a last resort. If you can find work fast, by all means go for it, but the way things are now with all the VR and off-shoring, it is a backup if you cannot find work. No one should go hungry because they are afraid to file for Unemployment as an IC.
Best company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for a lot!
I can't believe some of the things these people say here, and have to wonder if it just the same person or two bashing. I have been at MDI for four years and I do not have a low workload and I get treated very, very well.
Rude answer to a rude post. nm

I think it is. He worked for my company
and this is the name he went by. Might not be his birth name, but isn't just an internet moniker.
