As an IC, I've never even been able to take a day off to be sick.  I was told that I couldn't take my requested vacation when I wanted it, too.  I tell them the schedule I want to work, but they're always pushing the limits there.  No work for several days, and then too much work that "nobody else can do".  The companies that hire ICs are also pushing the limits on categorizing workers.  They're hiring for ICs to work Tu-Sa, or Su-Th, the pay rate is $.xx, and it's 2nd or 3rd shift.  I'm sorry, but when you hire an independent contractor, they are supposed to set their own schedule and pay.  I'd love to just go down every single job ad and turn these companies into the IRS for misclassifying their employees.  What, do they think we're so ignorant that we'll tolerate it just for the privilege of working at home and carrying their overhead costs for them?  Men wouldn't allow themselves to be treated like this.

You're right, there are companies out there that route work to employees before ICs.  They are not going to pay their employees hourly downtime rates so the ICs can do the work.  IC is low on the totem pole.

... is an understatement. I would pull some of those jobs that had beentranscribed in India and there were some that had entire sections crossed out and retyped because they were wrong (and scary wrong too - wrong medications...). The hospital I used to work for uses them and when I still worked at HealthScribe India was doing this hospitals discharge  summaries. I refuse to use that hospital because I know the transcription will be of very poor quality andI refuse to play games with my health and the health of my loves ones.
