Will this be for IC or employee work? nm
s
I have 3 but I work as an employee
Dont you need benefits? That is the only difference between ic and employee.
I work as an employee........
so I work a set schedule, but my supervisor is VERY flexible when I need it, and I was able to choose my hours. I also found the insurance to be MORE THAN reasonable considering to get it on my own with my family of 6 it would cost us OVER $1350/month. I also believe you should give a position more than 2 to 3 months before stating you had a negative experience. It takes that long to get used to all the dictators, especially an acute care account, which I am on (Dictaphone), with hundreds of doctors. Again, I can ONLY speak of MY experience with Medware, and it has been an AWESOME one, and I plan on being there for YEARS to come! JMO
You can work FT as an IC. You need employee or SE
status.
regarding hospital employee work - sm
again, as posted previously, it really depends on what state you live in. What state do you live in??? There are quite a few hospitals that although they do not advertise, they do hire transcriptionists from around the state.
As for Diskriter, and any company for that matter, please do not believe everything you read on this board. It reads like the National Enquirer for Transcription. For every good thing a poster might say about a company, there will be five people (or who knows, maybe it's the same poster over and over again), saying bad things.
Just because one company is not a good fit for a few transcriptionists, does not mean that every Transcriptionist should run. Sometimes these are really bad transcriptionists that were let go, or maybe they are great transcriptionists that were dealt a lousy deal by the transcription service.
Are you the same unhappy employee with no work?
What's up with all the slamming.. People say negative things but never back it up with any proof or clear up what they mean.
Wrong- employee only. No SE work at all
nm
Statutory employee. Work when you want

Employee status does not work 4 me
What type of work and IC or employee? nm

How does assigned work = employee?
I have my own clients. All that work would be considered assigned work; there is no one else to do it but me. And as for the MTSO I work for (and the individual docs, for that matter,) it does not matter what they assign me to do, they just cannot dictate how I get it done or the hours I work, right? I want to be totally clear on my understanding of this. Thanks.
I should say that this is for ER work, employee, Merit system. nm

I work as a hospital employee at home

For IC work? 8 cpl is OK if you are an employee and getting benefits, but for an IC it's awful!
s
Are you ever able to get OT or work more days or hours if you want if employee.
Thanks for the input
Never would. BUT I am not an MTSO. I work as an employee for a company and I see everything sm
that I mentioned in my first post routinely. I don't mean to include all by no means, but don't try to make this out as a dream job. It has already been done and that is just one of of the reasons we are in the sad state we are in.
anyone work as hospital employee for/through Diskriter?
Was wondering how that works out, if that setup is better than working for a service. Better benefits, workload?
Ahhhh! Okay...work as an employee at home with
very good work habits. I have a great schedule and very rarely interrupted. I use the expansions in Word and do have many. I've been doing this for 10 years and leave few blanks but I do think I spend too much time on referencing. Maybe I just don't type fast enough but my hands sure do seem to fly on my keyboard! I just thought that maybe there was a secret I did not know about how to format expansions or something on that line. Thanks so much for responding:)
Anyone work for Archivus? Do they have employee status or IC? (sm)
Good pay, steady accounts, benefits? TIA.
Anybody work for TransHealth as an employee and how do you like it? Is the insurance affordable?

Scenario: No work. Docs not dictating. You are an employee. What does that do to your
If you are doing no work, well, any formula to extrapolate your "down" rate of pay is still going to equal zip.
And if you go on vacation? what does that do to your "down" rate of pay? If you have no sick leave and you can't type, what does that do to you "down" rate of pay?
If you have no PTO yet and you are down for weather, computer problems, etc. if you are an employee, are you kicked to SE? What happens to your insurance?
These are all questions you need to get hard answers to and get answers that are palatable. And get them in writing.
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.
Only if you work directly for their hospitals, not as a Diskriter employee. nm

I'm sorry, I should have said I work as an employee for a local nephrology office
I tried working for a National, but it wasn't a good fit for me because I didn't like the fact that I had to work holidays and weekends. And yes, I know that sick people don't take vacation days and there's work 24/7, but it just wasn't the job for me. I love my 9-5 job. I guess that's probably the only way that MT's don't have to work weekends and holidays, by working for local doctors.
Not a KS employee just amazed at the conclusions that people on here jump to. I work for a
small MTSO and hope that they are never mentioned here. I would hate to see someone I know attacked so constantly. I feel sorry for service owners that are not MQ or that big.
I work for a nat'l as an employee, and my PTO rate is now HALF of what I actually earn working. S
nm
What is your present line rate? I gather you want to work as an employee and not as an
IC because you want PTO and the FICA, but would you work as an IC?
It depends on your account, employee status, amount of work agreed, etc. NM

You'll work as an employee, not IC. Need your own C-phone and pay for your own long distance line
s
Was there a short time last year. You work as an employee, not IC. Different software/diff. accts.

Easy platform, PTO if you are employee, production incentive, direct deposit, work flow varies on
different accounts, but usually have enough to keep busy, lots of QA feedback.
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!
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.
Depends on if you are employee or statutory employee (sm)
Employee, 8th and 23rd of month
Stat. Employee, 15th and 30th month
Diskriter - Anyone go from their employee to hospital employee with them?
Thinking about giving up on being their employee and applying for a hospital employee position through them, they have one in PA right now that looks good. How is it for scheduling? Do you keep your line rate or get whatever the hospital pays? Who manages those accounts, is it the same PM and DR that are on the other ones? I have DR and feel like she doesn't have a clue what she is doing and it is so annoying, but I just don't have the guts to let the company know she needs to step it up a notch because the transcriptionists are not happy under her. Are QA the same people or through the hospital. They have 1 QA that is constantly asking us questions on doctors and format, things we should be asking that QA person. Annoying that new people move up to QA but people who've been there 2 or 3 years get treated like dirt and jumped account to account.
Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels. 
Let me know if you pursue this company. I would like to work for a MN company as an employee?
Let me know! Thanks!
Only employee and statutory employee..no IC

As an employee
I average about 8.5. They have an incentive if you type 12,000 in a 2-week pay period and that's not too hard to do on their system. Plus they pay higher on the weekends and at night (which I do on a split shift). I also figure the benefits are worth it because they use United, which I like the coverage in my area. All in all I am happy with them and I really like my team leader, that's a big plus to me.
Is this IC, SE, or employee?
nm
Yes they do, also employee and PT
positions were available when I interviewed 6 months ago.
Every employee is different.
I have found OSi to be very flexible. I personally do not work weekends. We are required to work holidays if they fall on your normally scheduled days; although, getting paid at 5 cpl extra. You can also request holidays off, which has never been a problem for me. I have never been denied on a request.
IC vs Employee
You will pay more taxes as an IC because of SSI, whereas as an employee, you do not (your employer pays half of SSI.)
You said you are an employee? Where?
Where are these 4 companies that pay $8K a quarter for bonuses?!?! Please, do tell!!
And provide enough work for you alone to do that much work?!?! Please, do share!!
When you are an employee, do you
If so, you are better off being an employee. Otherwise, the so-called self-employment tax cuts heavily into your earned income credit. It did for me at least, without having made a huge amount of self-employment income.
You can owe as an employee also
If you filled out your W9 form and put down for 10 dependents you would also owe or if your marital status changed or your deductions changed. All I am saying is that people think that because their employer is taking their taxes out for them they are not paying their own taxes. When you handle your own money, you just have to be structured enough to take out what an employer takes out. See your paycheck before and after taxes and see the percentage you are paying. When you get a tax refund that is YOUR money that the government has had for a year. You just underpaid. You can also overpay as a business owner or an IC and get a refund. But with the amount of deductions I have, I will never go back to an employee full-time as I would lose another 20% to the government and not ready to give that over.
employee or IC.
IC or employee?
I just checked their website and it states they only hire employees? It is possible to be an IC with them?
Yes, you can be IC or employee, nm

Employee
Their platform is very productive and they offer full benefits to full-time employees. For that they do expect you to work an employee schedule as they try to have the coverage issues worked out. There have been some growing pains with work flow, but my experience has been they have been resolved quickly and certainly nothing chronic. They do not pay for spaces but I took that into account negotiating the line rate. The efficient platform and getting paid for headers also helps offset the spaces issue for me.
Is this as an IC, or are you an employee? nm
