Yes, I have. You have prompted sharing the Strategy above. nm
nm = no message, silly one! you're the curious type, aren't you? it's okay! really! but there's nothing to be seen here. nothing. really.

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

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.
I think there are 2, one in Oregon and one in NJ? Not sure...nm

Is this the one in Oregon?...nm

Yes, it's in Oregon
thanks!

The one in Oregon
appreciate any info
Found one in Oregon but not NJ
The one in Oregon looks like (at least on the doc side) to use Intrascript. I would not recommend this platform at all. It is a big fat pain and slooooooow. If it is web based, that has a tendency to be faster, but the installed program version is very slow even on a brand new computer system.
Is this the NJ or the Oregon location? nm
s
Yes, Advanced is in Oregon.
I think it is 600 lines a day three days per week for part-time, but I am not sure about full-time. IC position. I think you do have to be on an instant messenger though.
Is this the one located in Oregon?
nm
Advanced in Oregon???
They run out of work on accounts, and then expect you to pick up and just learn a new one on a moment's notice. You have to have MSN messenger and be accountable if you need to step out and give them notice if you're not working a particular day that you have to commit to working (they leave that out until you are all signed on and set-up). The platform is clunky. The recruiter is nice at first, of course, aren't they all? Then, you get to working and the accounts run out.  This was my experience. I dropped 'em; IC to me equals freedom, not chained to the desk. Sorry...

Anybody know anything? Good, bad, indifferent?
PLatforms?
Pay scale?
Work availability?

Thanks!
Advanced Transcription, Inc, out of Oregon?
Noticed they had a posting on MTJobs looking for ICs. Did a search but "advanced transcription" is hard to find both here and in search engines without it being about schools. Anyone with experience? Pay on time? Steady work? Etc?
I'm thinking of applying but I always like to hear about companies first.
TIA
I live in Oregon and have not heard of them...sm
what is their web address? TIA
Advanced Transcription out of Oregon does...

greenlight transcription - oregon
I found a post from last year that said you could not be productive because of too many fields to fill in Does anyone think what that might mean? I'm thinking too many demographics but not sure. Does anyone know anything about them other than they use edmat platform and IC position

Greenlight Transcription in Oregon?
Anyone have any info on this company? Thank you.
Need on Advanced Transcription out of Oregon...SM
Wondering if they have flexible shifts or if you have to stick to a certain timeframe everyday, and whether or not you can just do clinic work or if they require the big 4.
Any other info such as how you liked the job, etc., would be great, too.

I've been there a few weeks (Oregon)...
and you can feel free to e-mail me with specific questions, be glad to tell you what I know to this point. 
Are you asking about Advanced Transcription in Oregon?

Advanced Transcription out of Oregon
They ask that you give them which 3 days of the week you'll be working for part-time though, but the TAT is 24 hours. You may want to check them out. www.advancedtx.com I think is the site. 
NEMT and Advanced in Oregon...
are two I'm familiar with and would recommend either... NEMT I believe is hiring, saw their ad not long ago. Feel free to email me with specific questions if you'd like. Good luck!
I did work for Advanced in Oregon
You have to tell them which days you'll be working and have to e-mail them if you cannot stick to your schedule and if you are a no show (which is not in my opinon IC work), then they'll terminate you.
Advanced uses Iscriptor and it's clunky. They run out of work and switch you to another account with a large learning curve. You are also monitored on messenger.
@dvanced transcription out of Oregon
I've been hired. I thought it would be neat to have some fellow co-workers added to the Spark IM program they use. If you want to do this, please send me a message.
They should take out state taxes for the state
nm
It 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.
Denmed Transcription out of Salem, Oregon.. Anyone??
Just wondering if anyone has any information out there on this company. Thanks.
Yes, Greenlight Transcription out of Oregon and StatIQ out of NM..

Think you have the wrong Advanced Transcription. This one is in Oregon..
Scratching my head on this one...
Denmed Transcription out of Salem, Oregon.. Anyone??
Not sure if you ever got a reply back to your posted question about DENMED.
DENMED is a Salem, Oregon MT business that in my biased opinion is GREAT. Not only do they treat their staff honestly and fairly (yes I did work for them) but they also treat their clientele with the utmost respect. They handle both large and small accounts. Hope this helps. I have included a link to their website.

A 7.8 in Oregon would of been front-page news, and we'd
So nope, no quake-a-rooni up there. According to USGS, the only ones up there in the past week have been a mag. 1-2, so small as to only be felt by seismographs.
Has anyone ever heard of AC Medical Records Management out of Oregon? TIA nm
If you were one of the recent applicants for Advanced Transcription in Oregon ...SM
Are any of you still hearing back or is the hiring over, I wonder? I sent my application in but pretty late by the time I saw the message.
If any of you have started already, how do you like it? Are they really that flexible that you just log on and work when you want as long as you meet a minimum number of lines a week? How does the QA work...what if you have blanks?
I guess any info would be appreciated, even though I'm probably not going to get in on it this time around, it seems.
Thanks.
INfo on Greenlight Transcription in Portland, Oregon
What platform do they use and is it friendly? I had heard they only paid 6 cpl.. is that true, or hopefully more??
Old posts from 2007 give glowing reviews, but in 2 years things can happen, and no line rates were posted back then.
Thanks for any info.
Does Advanced Transcription in Oregon offer flexible shifts? Do you have to do set schedule? NM
nm
They must deduct FEDERAL taxes.. NOT STATE taxes.. if they took out state taxes.. it would be FLORID
which would only have to be refunded to you for you to pay YOUR state what you owe them which is nothing but a pain... be glad they weren't handling your state tax.. and I think in this case.. if someone at the IRS told you they have to deduct YOUR states taxes.. it is that person who is uneducated... they only have to deduce federal income tax

So LEAVE ALREADY. nm
I will leave it, thank you very much
through these 2 rotten companies, I finally have found a good company, one that appreciates my work (which is very good) and one that does not lie to me or steal lines!!! So take that!!
Why did you leave?
Or do you still work for them? I had the same experience - just sent my paperwork back, but haven't heard anything, including training date, etc.
