I am working as an employee for a company that pays 9cpl and with incentive can get up to 0975 cpl, benefits okay- but no communication whatsoever when you really need them, but when out of TAT get e-mails all day from them.  Some of the staff are rude- they do not return phone calls, or even answer their calls.  I am trying to hold out in hopes that things will get better, as other than the above I love my accounts, although we are running out of work alot, which is another reason why I am looking.   I was offered a position with another company to which I applied that pays 9 cpl, relatively good bennies, but no incentive and I am somewhat skeptical of their software platform.   I am already working an IC position on a good account part-time 600 lines per day which I love and will not give that up.  I am thinking of accepting this other employee offer as part-time first to see if I will like the platform and if it is easy to make the bucks.  Just wondering is anyone else in my predicament and how you worked it all out, (3 jobs) with scheduling and all.  

MT Professional with 5 years experience.Looking for clinicial or Independent Doc MT work I can handle anytype of account. 

The result is working every day, no full day off, but it does provide security and benefits, and right now it is worth it to me.  I am planning a trip to Egypt and Israel in late April next year, so I have some incentive to keep going. 

Good luck!

KNR (K&R) Consulting was actively recruiting for a couple of months here for their new VA accounts they had landed.  I was on their list but found something else while they were gearing up and ended up passing.

Was anyone on this forum successfully recruited for these accounts and, if so, have you started working yet and how are you liking it?

I came across their old emails and realized I'd seen absolutely nothing posted here and couldn't help but wonder whatever happened...

TIA to anyone with info!!!

If I had an attic full of treasures I would use something like Craigslist or private Yard Sale situations.  Some small towns in my area have decided people must buy a permit for yard sales.  I have some friends who set up their yard sale in my very large country yard.  They advertise and split the costs for the ad between all of them.  Some of them sell their crafts too.  Most of them make $200 to $500 in a  day.

Some people attend private auctions, like estate auctions, and buy stuff they then re-sell at yard sales.  Who's to say whether they bought the stuff at an auction or got it out of their attic.

As for the housecleaners, they don't have a business per se nor do they need a license unless they are running a business with employees.  The person doing celiac diets had to be approved by the health department but you wouldn't believe how little that cost her.  She sat up her commercial kitchen in an old Air Stream travel trailer she bought for I think she said $1500. Her dad converted it for her and spent another couple hundred dollars, then what the health department charged for their inspection and whamo, she was in a legitimate business.  She doesn't have employees but she did purchase liability insurance (smart) and that insurance and other things are deductible.  As well, the expense of the travel trailer and health department inspection are also depreciated as is her computer, phone and many other deductions that aren't available to employees.

You have to figure out the angles yourself.  If you live outside city limits it is a lot more simple.  The house cleaning people are required to file an income tax return but I seriously doubt they do so as it's a cash business and their customers can't deduct the expense on taxes.  Different story if they were doing commercial cleaning.  I'm not suggesting anyone break the law but it's up to each individual how they want to handle their business or money making effort and whether they want to  have a business or just be self-employed.  In any event, if you do form a business or become self-employed, it is likely that you would actually pay less taxes as the same deductions are available to you that are available to any large business.

I think these days about all you can do is minimize the hoops you have to jump through and go ahead and jump through those you can't avoid.  The trade-off is jump through the necessary hoops and make a living or avoid the hoops and starve to death.

When I first started I had a company do this to me.  Hire me as an IC and then tell me when I had to work, etc.  I decided to go the employee route instead.  Now I need more flexibility so I decided to look for a real IC job again.  I found it with Sten-Tel.  They don't even require a minimal line count (which I thought was a little weird), but they also told me when the work would be available.  If I choose to work outside of that time, then I run the risk of running low on work. So the pay is good for QA and I get to set me schedule.  Now let's hope this all actually works out!!!!  We shall see LOL.  

That's good general information about Transolutions, but I was looking at the STARTeam. I've worked in the not too distant past for Transolutions, and I understand the rest. I know I should probably just call and get my questions answered, but I don't want them to feel like I am playing with them. I'm not too unhappy in my current job....
