I do know one IC that treats contractors as contractors
Posted By: NightOwl on 2009-05-04
In Reply to: Shorter list...do we know any NOT like that? NM - AnudderMT
Only one though.
My suggestion is that all the IC's out there need to take back their rights as IC's! Don't allow general contractors to act like employers by not acting like employees yourself! Easier said than done, I know...

Independent contractors
Can anyone who ICs give out a few good recommendations for good companies hiring ICs? Anyone work FT for company and start IC? Thanks
MxSecure pay per cpl, just contractors??
Does anyone know what MxSecure pays per CPL? I cannot seem to find this info anywhere, either on their site or elsewhere. Also, do they just employ independent contractors or do they offer employee status as well? I'm specifically asking about transcription. Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
I HAVE to get out of SPI. They are driving me insane!!!!

$.08 cpl and yes ;-)
Need some help from independent contractors, please.
I am going from an employee status to an independent contractor. Exactly how much more of my taxes will I be paying instead of my employer. I am looking at my paystub from my employee status and I see FICA and Medicare being withheld. Does the employer pay a portion of the both the FICA and the Medicare or just the FICA. Is the percent like 7% or 8% or something else. I am just trying to figure out how much of my line rate this is going to eat up.
question for indepednent contractors
Which state are you in and do you have to pay/charge sales tax? 
Independent Contractors and Schedules
I am an independent contractor and agreed to a certain amount of lines per pay period and gave an approximate schedule but am I not correct that by law if I get my lines, they can't tell me when and when not to work. I have only one time not gotten my lines and only because there was no work and that was about 9 months ago.
I can't stand the vile threats of being canned for not working a certain schedule when they hire independent contractors. What recourse do I have if something like that happened? Labor board, law suit, etc?
MTSOs ARE independent contractors
So you theory has some holes :)
I've had large hospital accounts, medium surgery center accounts, small and large doctor office accounts and let me tell you, the headaches in dealing with this are no fun. Relying on MTs to do what they promise and then don't deliver is no fun.
Just because someone is an IC doesn't mean you get quality OR accountability.
No problem finding employees, contractors (sm)
you name it. You're welcome
Yes, I am an MT, too. I refuse to leave my MTs hanging and deal with them unethically. You put 'the suits' at the big MTSOs in the shoes of at-home MTs, especially MTs who are on production and who have no work, no communication, and thus, no money, and they wouldn't last 1 hour. They would scream and shout and then file unemployment in a heartbeat 
You can't compare the two - MDI has only statutory employees and contractors
with no benefits. Transcend has full time employees with benefits. I would not believe everything you hear on this board with regard to pay. I make 8 cents per line with MDI, and I am just hoping I wont get a pay cut for benefits
The industry standard is NOT indepedent contractors. I wish people would sm
only post facts, not what they think, with something so important.
There are strict guidelines for ICs. Most companies have gotten away from that as it can backfire on them. Some companies have both ICs and employees, but most have moved to employees.
Minimum wage laws are for employees only, not independent contractors
Would you pay your plumber or pool cleaner (examples of other IC jobs) more because the minimum wage increased?
You are kidding - right? At 2 cpl he treats his staff well!!! nm

Unlike you who treats everyone with respect, you mean?
Sometimes it just takes time to find the right fit. I wouldn't buy the first house I saw, and one should not be satisfied with a job until it's one you can actually wake up and feel good about working it. There are a LOT of companies out there who deserve bashing. Maybe you should learn to be more tolerant of others' opinions - we are, after all, all entitled to them.
I would not say that Keystrokes treats their employees well...
and I doubt that they are over $50 M in revenue. When I was at Keystrokes, they had a few radiology accounts and clinics. This was two years ago. Stranger things have happened - maybe they are bigger than Transcend.
That is not surprising. Typical for how she treats people.

Bought by SPI which is a bad place and treats employees BAD.
I'd steer clear.
And if find one that treats you like crap, LEAVE

Keystrokes accounts are stable. The company treats every customer
like their only. No accounts have been lost. I have been there for 3-1/2 years. Same accounts plus double since I started.
