I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
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.
Has anyone ever gone back to work for a previous company?
I was just wondering if any of you out there had ever gone back to work for a company that you had worke at before. What was your experience in doing so? Is it worth looking into?
Thanks for any help.
The company I work for went to VR a few months back. I was as terrified as you are. sm
It has been OK. I like doing the VR work, and my check is really no different than it was before the change. I do a lot more in terms of production in the same amount of time.
The downside is that the increased production, even though in the same timeframe, is taking its toll on me. It is stressful.
If you get an easy report that has very few edits, you will fly through it. If you get one that is full of errors, it will take you longer than typing it from scratch.
It's a catch-22 in that we really don't have a choice but the good news is that my pay has not suffered and my hands are not as tired.
I took a test for a company and my foot pedal would work with the test and I had keep going back
over the dictation time and again to get all the words because I couldnt stop and start it by the foot pedal. What can I do about this.
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?

Stay logged in, otherwise (sm)
when work is low, and something does come in, it will go to someone who is logged in.
I use my own computer, but when logged
into the site where I work, there are certain websites that are blocked, I think that is for their protection so viruses and the like does not get into their system.
I logged in and there are zero jobs on both. It isn't just DVI. nm

If you are logged into a system at all, they know
Trust me, been there, seen it, used it.
People were always amazed that I could pick out who was talking, saying what, being ugly, etc. I could pinpoint you down in a heartbeat.
It was easy to do. I mainly used it to control noise and to isolate those who were disrupting.
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.
I didnt see that when I logged in. Where do you find it.

Anyone who works for a FL company, pls see FL state board. Thanks. NM

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

When logged into Word Client, usually in the left lower corner of your
screen is the Transnet player. Click on the More button and uncheck always on top.
Hope that helps.
I was reading about the back up help. I would like also to have some back up work.
 I am not getting anywhere near 12,000 lines this go around. My goal is 12,000 lines each pay period.
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.
But is it against the law to state ICs work specific hours or days?
nm
The state you live in or the state where the MTSO is located? nm

In my state, if they hire you full time, then do not provide the work you can draw unemployment -
You would have to talk to someone in your state, but I was able to draw partial unemployment while still working in Georgia. I had to report in each week how much I made and they gave me partial benefits. To qualify, you had to have been hired full time.
No - the company gets hit with back SS
Of course, I'm assuming that the IC has been filing her taxes, etc. as required for people who are self-employed. If not, that's a different issue.
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.
The company stinks and if you look back through
the archives you'll be hard pressed to find a good post about them, and then they have to be from someone in management. Even people that didn't listen to our experience and went to work for them are living and regretting they didn't listen. Absolute worst company there is.
Company board is back. NM.

All of them, its not the company that holds you back

And this time the company bit back, right?
I saw these posts and they were out of line. It was like the OP was trying to pick a fight with them. I hear the OP not saying anything else now, probably for the best. I do not blame the company. There were scads of people on here that seemed to love to join in and bash them. What goes around....
I agree...I found this company to be very back and forth...
when there is work, everything is great...but when there is no work and you want more, somehow they can't come up with any and make excuses as to the lack of work, et cetera...I moved on and am happy I did... I know people who are happy there so to each their own, this is just my own experience...good luck!!!
They are a very good company. I went back and am happy I did.
Not cheerleading just being honest. They have always treated me extremely well.
I went to another company that offered "much more" came back to Spheris because
nm
It is the real deal. Back to not every company suits every one.
I have been there 2+ years and never had any problems. I make good money, have a good account, don't get bounced around, and have good management. The recruiter is very good to try and answer your questions or you can email me and I will tell you what I know.
Awhile back, someone posted about a company that considered sm
30 hours a week to be FT with benefits. Does anyone remember the name of that company?
Thanks so much.
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.
If this company begins with D, your pay goes back to new-hire rate if there are ANY blanks in it
s
It was a great company before othey sold out to Medquist years back.
Now it's crap.
Wonderful company!!! Left for personal reasons. Would go back with no hesitation! nm

Isn't Wal-Mart the company that lied/replaced labels several years back with Made in USA? nm

I am not really sure. Your work is due back the next day. As for sm
weekends and holidays, it is clinic work, and I do not think any of the accounts work on the weekends, but I could be wrong. The work you get on Friday is due back on Monday morning. You might submit your resume anyway. The lead MT handles the hiring, and she is great. Perhaps you could work something out. I only work part-time, and I cannot really speak for the company, but feel free to email me if you have any other questions, and I will help if I can.
Good luck!
going back to work
have not been working for nearly 2 years....just wondering what companies are out there these days that are hiring.....any suggestions appreciated....thanks
They should take out state taxes for the state
nm
It varies from state to state

Varies from state to state
My own state recognizes partial unemployment, too, when your work gets cut down to half of your regular workload/income.
