It's not rocket science - you need specific hours = hire an employee (sm)
Posted By: MTSO Owner on 2008-08-14
In Reply to: There was talk a week or so about sm - ICer
You need a specific TAT but not specific hours = hire an IC. The IRS, each state's Workers' Comp laws and so forth make it VERY clear about what determines an IC and what determines an employee. If a company needs someone from 4:00-8:00 p.m. Mon-Fri, then that is a part-time employee, and in some states automatically a benefited employee.
For example, if you need a housekeeper or nanny for specific hours, that person becomes an employee. I vaguely remember a politician getting in trouble for this a few years back - not paying taxes, etc. for a nanny, by calling her an IC when in fact she was an employee.

Exactly. It's not rocket science (sm)
I think most unhappy posters would rather they start a new acct and then say, Gee, I think we need more people. Use heads, please. New accts coming.
VR is not rocket science - if you MT, you can do it - sm
The problem with VR is that editing is a different animal than transcribing. You used different brain tools to do it. Sometimes it takes longer to edit than to transcribe but we are being paid half of what it pays to transcribe. That is the beef with VR.
Does alltype only hire in specific states?
I ask this because the ad states benefits in only certain states. Does anyone know?
If they hire you to work on a specific account
Sounds too controlling for my taste.
Do they hire for one specific work type, say OP notes? nm

I am part and I do work specific hours and
unless we have tornado warnings, lightning and such, I am usually at my desk working away. I really hate to see someone ask about trying to find a company to fit in with their schedules. Most companies do not try, never have and probably never will, to fit in with our schedules. I feel the person writing such is very naïve and has not been in the work force very long.
But is it against the law to state ICs work specific hours or days?
nm
Because people only want specific work types, easy dictators and certain hours...
That is why some people find a shortage of work, while others find an abundance. I cannot believe these last few threads and the vitriole of some of your responses. Any time a company is mentioned, any company, there are always a bunch of negative responses.
Maybe you all should check within yourselves to find out why you do not have enough work.
I happen to work for a company that is being negatively mentioned in these posts, and I am extremely happy. They may offshore, but they treat me very well, are communicative and I have never missed a paycheck. I also will do any work types, ESL, and will help out extra when asked. This is one of my first times on this board and I probably will not be back.
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.
Do they hire less than 20 hours weekly.....
Thanks for the information. Do you know if Webmedx hires less than part time hours, such as p.r.n. or overflow? I will check with them and see, but was wondering if you knew.
Thanks so much.
I don't know if they hire IC, but as an employee
you'll never get that rate, you'll be lucky to get 9 and I'm not sure you'll get that. Don't know about crap dictation as I turned down a job with them due to their offshoring.
Oh, do they hire employee or IC, Thanks. sm
If employee, do they offer benefits? They don't say much on their site.
And does TransTech hire IC or employee?

Does TransTech hire IC or employee. Looking for

Does TTS hire ICs or employee status only? nm

They hire you as an IC and treat you as an employee. nm

Does Ablescribe hire employee status?
If they do, any comments on how they pay QA? Good company?
Does anyone know of any companies who hire PT employee status? nm
x
They hire you as employee, not IC. 600 lpd is PT. Their QA really lacks in communication. nm

It depends if you are employee or IC. Employees cannot hire sm
assistants. Most companies make you sign a confidentiality agreement, as do most hospitals and clinics. Those agreements should state (every one I have seen) that you will not let anyone have access to personal information or use your IDs. Letting someone listen is a direct violation. I read your post and went to the Privacy Manager at the hospital where I work to verify this before posting this response. She is our HIPAA specialist and told me that letting anyone listen or read a medical report is the same as telling them about it and a direct HIPAA violation.
Statutory Employee: What services hire SEs?
I have enjoyed the flexibility and tax part of being an SE with MDI-MD, but it seems very difficult to find any service who will hire SE. I see IC or FT or PT, but not SE. Could someone give me some leads? I searched the archives, not much current info. there...thanks!!
Does any facility hire MT directly as IC or employee for eScription? sm
I do not want to work through a service again. I am tired of running out of work. If anybody knows of any leads, even if they aren't hiring right now, please e-mail me privately. All responses will be confidential. I am looking for something for myself, not to be posted to others.
Thank you in advance.
Only hire as employee if they have 50 employees in the state you live in. NM
My state would never be one.
I would think it is a certain amount of hours or lines a DAY. But not employee, so can't say
:+
Are you ever able to get OT or work more days or hours if you want if employee.
Thanks for the input
Maybe it was just directed to the people on specific accounts or a specific software platform. nm
nm
Can someone tell me the difference between IC and employee and what hours are you expected to work
as an IC. Are your hours flexible as an IC.
KS employee using Vonage, get disconnected every 4 hours no matter what!
Does anyone else have this problem? I work for Keystrokes and must have unlimited long distance so I use Vonage. NO MATTER WHAT, every 4 hours I get disconnected. This has happened when I'm in the middle of a report and when I dial back in, sometimes I DO NOT get that same report back (which is obviously a pain....) I try and watch the clock and disconnect myself on purpose around the 4-hr mark to avoid this. Does anyone else know how to get around this???
Science...MTness
I looked it up last night after I got that message off here. I would be very interested in reading some of the info/books. Glad you introduced me to it.
Yes, Rocket, indeed we own a construction company. sm
Our employees get raises even when we invest in power tools and pickup trucks. I can even cipher those fancy reports the government requires every quarter.
I have worked in banking, insurance, emergency medicine, and marketing. I have 2 magna cum laude degrees, and I have even been a M-A-N-A-G-E-R.
Wouldn't pee myself to meet another executive, and I treat my employees like they MATTER.
I'm being trained for QA, and the guy taking me through the training acts like it's rocket sci
I think he's making it out to be harder than it really is. Glad to hear so many actually find it easy.
Sorry, I work 15 hours a day 5 days a week and 5 hours the other 2, when I come here I dont proof.
nm
Why would they give you a choice of 16 or 24 hours. Usually part time is anything under 37 hours.
That is extremely odd. Well they must have something up their sleeves. Well I will be working elsewhere part time as well as with MQ as I have no intention of sitting 40 hours with no work from Amherst and be expected to have 150 lph with no work. What is all this window of work time they said they would be giving everyone. I figured all along they would do away with SE. I have already been looking around and ordered a new computer to send theirs back.
Any companies that allow line count rather than hours or less than 20 hours per week? (sm)
Wouldn't mind having something extra especially with Christmas and general winter expenses coming up but working a FT job and really don't want to do another 20 hours on top of that.
the day has 24 hours, I work only 6-8 hours, so, lots of time to post...nm
nm
Me too. As soon as there is a little extra work they hire and hire and then noone has any. This
goes on all the time. I get sick to death of it. I think having 2 part time jobs is better so you have 2 jobs to count on.
Must we choose either 8, 16 or 24 hours. Why would they want someone only working 8 hours a week.
That is less than SE are required now.
MDI-FL. Approximately 7 hours a month x12 months =84 hours
And your PTO acrues from day 1. You are just unable to utilize it until after 90 days. They have excellent benefits.
You can have insurance at 30 hours with Encompass, 32 hours with eTransPlus. nm
10-15 an hour for 8 hours is better than nothing for 8 hours when there is no work.

Statuatory employee versus regular employee....
Can someone tell me the difference between a statuatory employee versus a regular employee? My company offeres IC or SE status....I am confused about whether switching over the SE would benefit me more than IC status that I have been for some time with them? What are the benefits and disadvantages of being an SE versus IC? Thanks for all of your help!
Does KS only hire employees or do they hire ICs too? nm
x
Sorry, I should have been more specific. sm
Mostly, just the usual -- are you happy there? Would you recommend it to your friends? Pay on time? Work flow consistent?
Thanks!
More specific please- MS in NJ or FL? nm
.
Can you be more specific on what you'd like to know? sm
Good benefits (PTO, pd holidays, life, medical, dental insurance); good amount of work available (except this week has been slow on some accounts); they provide equipment (you do pay deposit, returned at time of leaving); direct deposit, always on time pay; easy to use platform (but you need high speed Internet); good training and I LOVE my manager (responsive to emails and phone calls, doesn't micromanage me).
Weak spot would be tech support (depends who you get).
Can you be more specific? nm
Were they at all specific about SM
what they meant when they said typing skills? That is so vague.
You need to be more specific, such as ....
Employee status or IC?
Benefits?
Work type?
Set schedule?
Okay, but that's not very specific (sm)
I guess I should have asked for all opinions happy and otherwise. If you work for Webmedx, would you mind telling what has been the problem?
Can you be more specific?
Turns out they are not hiring for a month or two anyway!
Sorry, I should have been more specific.sm
MDI MTs will be getting a call in October/November and will find out then what the offer is.
