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.
The state you live in or the state where the MTSO is located? nm

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.
I don't know what state you live in but,
in my state (Maine) whether you quit or are fired, you get no unemployment unless you honestly cannot find employment for a period of 3 months.
Check your state unemployment benefit laws.
What state do you live in, JT?

depending on what state you live in - sm
you could possibly be hired by another hospital IN THE STATE you are in and go to work at home, or you may be considered for a position at Diskriter that is hiring for a Florida hospital, but again, it depends on what state you live in. The Florida hospital can hire from about 7 other states, but if your state is not one of them, then you are out of luck.
No. You have the taxes taken out for the state that you live in.
If you do not live in the state where the company is located, that state income taxes do not apply to you--only the state where you live applies to you. You do NOT work in the state where the company is headquartered. Ask any CPA and just look at the website of the state. You should not have taxes taken out for a state you do not reside because you do not have to pay taxes for a state where you do not reside. You only pay for a state where you live.
It depends on what state you live in
There are different carriers and plans and it depends on which state you live in on what carries are available to you. Some states have PPOs and HMOs offered and some don't.
I live in CT. I pulled up the hospital list for my state
If you have any leads, feel free to send me an e-mail. TY!
Depends on the state you live in. In Texas, no this is not legal. nm

Any Diskriter employees live in California?

It they don't have a license to do business in that state, then they cannot hire.
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.
what kind of attorney did u all hire and in which state? What if u are spread
all over the US and there are like 8 that were not paid? Do we get an attorney in the same state as the loser who did not pay us? Or what is your advice there? What did u do? How much did it end up costing u? Plz reply via email if you want.
Does KS only hire employees or do they hire ICs too? nm

Do they hire ICs or employees?
Without Naming Company, Does anyone know cost of COBRA for out-of-state employees?

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.
Not KS but I only hire FT employees for many reasons. sm
Whenever I have had PT employees, they end up putting their FT job first and I have to scramble to cover for them if they are required to work a weekend or extra hours. The licenses are also expensive to have for a PT person and I pay the same insurance for liability on part time people as full time. It costs me as much for a part-time person in terms of unemployment and other taxes too, so I have saved money and headaches by only have full-time employees and have invested the extra money in those individuals in terms of PTO and benefits.
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.
If you are employee and have state taxes, your employer should take out.
I reported a company to my state, who clearly defines on their internet site that if an employee lives in our state yet works for a company in another state that might not have state taxes (for instance, Florida), the company in Florida HAS to comply with taking out state taxes.
From what my state told me, they fined the company heavily for not having deducted state taxes. Check with your state first and see what the law is.
This only applies to employee though.
They do hire people as hospital employees, but
it's not the great situation it's cracked up to be. The hospital complains about everything possible to the account manager, who gets nervous about losing the account and it's all downhill from there.
It's too bad because it's a great idea in theory. Unfortunately it's human nature to pass the buck and place blame on those at the bottom of the totem pole, so that leaves the nameless faceless MT's on a daily roller coaster of paranoia and hysteria.

Webmedx hire part time employees...sm
I'm really happy there. You might give them a try.
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.

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.
It's not rocket science - you need specific hours = hire an employee (sm)
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.
She is definitely an employee. This company in Georgia has 150+ employees. Forty hour
work week is one thing but having them get very upset when you are working 50-60 hours and be nasty when the account is still behind but saying no overtime, no way is a very different thing. I advised her ask the department to check out this company and out get out of there anyway.
I don't know where you live but where I live foreclosures are rising and there are no jobs -- non
I worried about my employer for part of the winter as my accounts grew sparse. I had plan to switch to being an employee with benefits but dared not make the switch in this economy (this was last year this time, got it?)
I figured keeping my seniority was worth whatever security it afforded.
My accounts have rebounded some and I can pay my bills.
By economizing seriously, I have paid off my credit card and put some money aside, just in case. I'm breathing easier, thanks.
So, all in all, I'm not complaining. This last winter was brutal, but I had a job and I paid my bills. When employment rebounds and/or national health goes into effect, people will go to the doctor again and we will be busy.
My part of the world is like a ghost town -- everyone who could left to find work in the city -- many apparently leaving their homes to the banks. Several houses in my vicinity have been on the market more than 4 years.
Forgive me my loyalty ... it pays the bills.
What does yelling at the rest of us do for you?
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.
They no longer hire part-time and may be eliminating part-time employees within the next 6 months.
They are going to have those that are PT go FT if possible. Some accounts require 1 weekend day, but not all. Most transcriptionists have 1 account with 1 back-up account. I know that they are hiring for hospital accounts in medical records and radiology right now.
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.
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.
It depends on where you live. If you live in their
service area it would be cheaper than outside their service area. I only have rates for out of service area and medical is 139.13 for family or 168.42 depending on what plan you choose. Dental is 20.85 for family, vision is 5.13. These are per pay period.
Individual coverage would be 44.79/54.21 medical, 7.99 dental, and 1.71 vision.
I opted out of insurance as we have through my husband's job. I believe the cheaper insurance is a 70/30 plan and the more expensive an 80/20, not sure about co-pays. Deductibles are $2000 for family, not sure about individual.
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.
They should take out state taxes for the state

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.
Oh for sure employees, but not too often for statutory employees. Sorry for confusion.
