Since they don't offer benefits, you're not classified as FT or PT.

Do they offer both statutory employee and independent contractor status? Thank you! NM
NM
Depends on if you are employee or statutory employee (sm)
Employee, 8th and 23rd of month
Stat. Employee, 15th and 30th month
There are no bennies. They offer IC and statutory status.
Pay is comparable to most of the services. If you want employee status, they do not offer it. They are a good company though.
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?
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.
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!!
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.
Only employee and statutory employee..no IC

P.S. ''If we try employee status and decide it’s not for us, can we return to statutory employ

For me, being an employee has more to offer than being an IC...sm
I've been a full-time MT employee for 20 years now and I've always contemplated being an IC but every ad I've read lately for IC states certain days to work (Sun thru Thurs or Tues thru Sat) and/or certain hours so was never really able to find a completely IC job where I can be completely flexible.
Then, I looked at all the benes I would lose if I were to become an IC: 401K, STD, LTD, 3.5 weeks of PTO, life insurance for the entire family, overtime pay, technical downtime pay, training pay, bereavement pay, jury duty -- and of course the obvious medical and dental which thank goodness I don't need since my husband's medical and dental is better and cheaper.
The national I work for is pretty flexible. I have never had any problems switching my schedule or asking for a day off and I have to admit having a paid day off is wonderful because I remember the day when this national didn't even offer OT let alone PTO.
And also all of my equipment is supplied by the company free of charge: phone line, fax machine, C-phone, computer, monitor, speakers, headset, foot pedal, 24-hour tech support and if anything we're to break down, they ship me a new one in 24-48 hours while paying me technical downtime pay.
I just feel more secure being an employee versus an IC.
This is just my opinion, please don't bash me...I bruise easily:)))
Anyone offer PT employee positions, not IC? nm
s
they offer employee status only.
Unless they changed it
You are an IC with JLG. They do not offer employee status.
You tell them your desired hours but they do expect you to work when you tell them you will.
What companies offer employee status?
I'm needing to get health insurance through work and wanted to know what companies offer this. I'd prefer a company that required 1000 lines or less per shift if that is possible. The line rate really isn't that important as my main concern would be a good family health plan.
Any leads are appreciated! Thanks.
Does MDI-MD offer employee status, benefits??? SM
I could not find any of this info on their website. I need to know before applying so I won't waste their time and mine. Thanks very much.
Any companies offer QA/Editor jobs (employee status)
I currently work as an Editor (IC) for a company that pays a rather low hourly rate ($12). I can only be considered for an increase after working 6 months if I average 300+ lines an hour(to $14). Compound this with the fact that there is usually no work.
I find it impossible to do more than 300 lines an hour while providing feedback therefore, I will never get a raise! I am looking to work for a company as an employee who pays well (hourly) whether there is work or not. I'm very concerned about not having enough work to meet my financial obligations.
My last hospital did offer home-based employee positions. sm
They paid the employee positions by the hour with incentive and IC positions by the dictated minute.
It still was not as lucrative for me as my national position.
What works for one, however, may not work for others.
It is all about personal needs and opinions! Bully for you!!! :)
Which companies offer PTO for part time employee status, along with contributing 401K, shift....sm
 differentials, and incentive based pay plan? I think I covered it all. Mostly looking for PTO as a part time employee. Thanks for your replies.
Anyone know of Escription companies that offer IC status. I do not want employee status but would
like to stick with the Escription platform at all possible.
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.
Statutory?
If a company does not take out state income taxes does that mean the Transcriptionist is statutory?
mdi-md statutory
I am looking for the right web address for mdi-md of Maryland that hires statutory. I only found a web site that comes up as trans-mdi (i think that was the right format) but anyway I just want to make sure of the correct address. I have a feeling this website is the the correct one. TIA.
Is it truly IC or statutory?
There is a difference. Employers pay the SS tax on statutory employees; IC's are responsible for all the taxes.
I applied with 3 MTSOs not too long ago (about 4 months). Two of them were statutory status and the other was employee status. The 2 SE's offered me 9.5 and 9 cpl to start. The ES offered me 8 cpl with benefits.
There are many things to consider besides just a starting cpl when choosing an MTSO. For me, flexibility and reliability of work flow was more important than a little more per line. I ended up with the MTSO that paid 9 cpl because I don't need the benefits.
I have seen some IC's on these boards say they make 11 cpl and up. I think a lot of those IC's are truly IC's, contracted by local hospitals, etc. I'm sure there are SE's that make that as well, I just don't know too many that start out at more than 10 cpl these days.
Statutory ?
What is statutary exactly? They just take out FICA/Medicare, not federal or state and you still do a schedule C? I have to find another job as where I work now we just lost a big account with no notice. Last day is tomorrow.
Statutory
The IRS website has good information about statutory versus IC.
Statutory
Nor Cal MT, we are statutory employees, not IC, and I think you spend too much time on this board putting out info that is not accurate.
statutory employees
I have been with MQ since 1983 when they were still Transcriptions Limited (the good old days). I don't know what they are doing and I wish I knew. I am part-time 5000 lines a pay period but it only takes me two hours to do 500 lines so that works fine with me. I am on disability and only work enough to supplement by SS. Plus I cannot sit more than two hours at a time so it works out fine. If they come up with this 4 hour minimum then I am in a heap of trouble.
I had someone from corporate call today to ask if I had gotten that letter about the new program. At the time I told him no, but I think I did I just can't find it. I have just gotten out of the hospital after a 12 day stay and can't even get my mind together to figure it out.
I don't like the sound of things but we will know in October according to this guy who called.
statutory employees
I was told today that we would know in October.
