Statutory Employee: What services hire SEs?

In Reply to:
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!!

Am I statutory or employee
I just recently started working for MQ. Everyone is getting me confused. First, I am emailed about a rental fee. I called and told them I was an employee. I got my first paycheck and they only took out state and federal taxes. So, I am still as confused as they are. I left 3 messages for payroll and 3 emails. No answer as of yet. Are they supposed to take out all taxes if I am a full time employee? They only took out state and federal. Does this make a statutory?
Thanks for any infor.
I am a statutory employee and they take out sm
state, federal and Social Security. I didn't want to be botherered with the taxes and it was an option they could or I and I chose MQ to take the taxes.
Statutory employee
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the companies who hire statutory employees? I would like the flexibility of an IC, but I would like the company to pay half the taxes for me. If you know how I could find out which companies work this way, please let me know! Thanks!!!
Statutory employee
By definition an independent contractor (IC) should not be told that he/she will work 8 hours or 2 hours straight on a schedule. You give them the schedule you prefer to work and they accept that or reject it. The operative word here is independent. Far too many companies try to not do the tax thing and still want control of the IC. The IRS does not like that!
you are an SE, statutory employee.

They are IC/statutory employee so no
benefits, insurance, etc. Website is transmdi.com
Yes, they called it Statutory Employee or IC ... at least
that is what is says on my contract. ?????

Statutory Employee Status
Please, can someone tell me if there are transcription companies that offer remote MTs employee status w/medical benefits. Is there such a thing as a Statutory Employee and what does this entitle us to?
They only offer SE - statutory employee
Since they don't offer benefits, you're not classified as FT or PT.
Statutory employee versus IC.....
I know that being a statutory employee has some SS taxes taken out by the company, but does being a statutory employee mean a company can make you stick to a set schedule?
Congrats! You are a statutory employee, not an IC
They do take a portion of taxes out of every check. But since you don't have any further benefits you get the 24 hour turn around flexibility. If someone else covers your health insurance, it's the best of both world in my opinion. Hope this helps.
Part-time...statutory; used to be PT employee. (NM)

As a statutory employee, they take out FICA and match it. sm
Therefore, you do not have to file self-employment tax, like an IC. You are still not an employee per se, in that you set up your own schedule/make your own hours. You tell them how many lines you will do in a day, and every 2 months, you submit a schedule, telling them which days you will work.
You have to have your own PC. You can rent a C-phone from them, and some of the accounts are going to wav files, and I think the company provides the wav pedal for you.
Hope this helps!
I had a hard time as a statutory employee, but
now that I am a regular employee and have to have a set schedule I am WAYYYYY more disciplined. I guess I actually needed that boss hanging over me (not literally, LOL) to make sure I work and make $$$$$. Best of luck to you.
Agree with poster below - MDI is statutory employee
There are no benefits. It's basically the same as IC with the taxes taken out. Did you think you were hired for employee status? Don't mean to rain on your parade, but better double-check that.
NEITHER STATUTORY NOR EMPLOYEE STATUS FAIR..SM
I said it before, when MTs were first forced to go the employee route..it's all about control...same for statutory. They have no right to dictate shifts/hours unless you're paid for your time by the hour. In either, you only get what you produce, per production. You might think you're ahead with employee status because of benefits. But what happens when you can't make your line count, even through no fault of your own? The only square deal is IC status... you get what you pay for..no more, no less. They don't pay for your time.. so they can't dictate a schedule. What other industry would require a certain amount of your time and not pay for your time? It would be different if they were to guarantee a certain wage per hour/day, etc... but they can't even guarantee there will even be any work.
SC meaning SE (statutory employee) and or IC contractor.
Still looking for help on employee positions with no VR which are good. Thanks.
full-time employee, but started out statutory (sm)
Good luck and I'm glad you're giving MQ a chance. I think you will be pleasantly suprised. I know I was. I was kind of disappointed when they called me back, but I really needed a job, so I took it, and four years later, I'm very happy! Good luck to ya! 
Just curious, what didn't you like about being statutory employee at older job? sm
I'm thinking of becoming one so I'd like a heads up on possible issues this causes!!! Thanks.
You report wages and expenses as a statutory employee on schedule C.
I don't know how the company is these days, but when I was employed by them, there were some very rude people who worked in the office. I suspect since they were so high up, they're still there.
Do they offer both statutory employee and independent contractor status? Thank you! NM

Only employee and statutory employee..no IC

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.
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.

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

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.
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.
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.

info on AMD Services/AmeriMed Data Services
Please help me. Does anyone know anything about AMD Services or AmeriMed Data Services. I have been offered a position with them and need to know if they pay good, etc. before I accept a position with them. Thanks in advance.

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.
If you are statutory they take out SS tax only. (sm)
In this instance they took everyout out but.
Statutory or IC?
Statutory is different than IC - I haven't seen much in the way of statutory, but I just had a job offer today, GOOD offer, too - from Oracle, and it's IC. I'm leery about going IC all the way, but then again - why not? There are no guarantees anywhere, and my husband says we do much better tax-break wise with IC than employee status.
Statutory or IC
Hey, I just had an offer from them today too.. Maybe we can chat? I didn't get my paperwork yet in email. Did you?
Statutory of IC
Oh I talked to her today and she is sending my paperwork, so if you had not accepted, then you probably wont' get any paperwork.
Which is better, statutory or IC
and why?
everybody is statutory.sm
Good company, sometimes too much work, sometimes not enough, just like everywhere else. Lanier accounts are pretty much like any other account, work is work.
