I doubt it, though they will sock you with late fees and expect - sm

In Reply to: Mortgage late payment question. sm - anon
both your Feb. 1 and March 1 payment at the same time. You could pay the one by March 1 and use the 15 day grace period and pay the March 1 payment by the 15th (along with late fees from the previous late payment) to get square again. I have to use the 15 day period now and then, hate to do it, but it does not hurt anything.

late fees
My business attorney told me I could really charge whatever I wanted - BUT - it had to be put as a disclaimer on the bottom of every billing you send them-- that is their "notice" -- you can't just charge them without warning them. I charge 5% of total billing. Mine reads something like "late fee of 5% will be charged if invoice is not paid within 10 calendar days." Be careful on the verbage of calendar days versus business days. And don't be afraid to charge it or defend it -- every other vendor they have is charging it!!
Any IC charge late fees? Please advise.
I have been contracted with a hospital for almost 13 years and never had a problem with getting paid every two weeks. I email my invoice on Monday and receive check via mail by Thursday or Friday. Within the last three years I have had a little trouble, not often, but usually critical times for me, with receiving payment during that time. Does anyone charge a late fee and if so, do they pay it? I thought about putting at the bottom of my invoice "Payment is due within 5 days or a late fee of $ will be charged.
Dixie...pleeeeese stick a sock in it...

I use the dirty sock I left under the desk yesterday.
Just kidding!!!! (or not...)
Hello? With a week notice you can't sock in 3 days of food and water?

Fees
I would not be tax deductible per se. You would not receive the money, therefore it would not be income.
Fees
Actually, the fees are deducted from the income, but you never see it because it is deducted. I'm pretty sure it would be tax deductible. Again, I am not justifying the existence of the fee.
Rental Fees
 I noticed that several companies are charging their employees rental fees for equipment/software. If one was in-house, they would not have to pay a rental fee. How are these companies getting away with this? Why would you, an employee, agree to pay for their equipment? The only time you should pay a rental fee is if you are an independent contractor. As an employee, you do not pay to work for the employer, they pay you!
I am just amazed that companies are actually charging their employees to work for them!
need help with fees - digital
I can get a new contract but will do the work digital. I have only worked as IC the old fashion way - tapes and picking up, printing and delivery. I will now do everything through e-mail and a C-phone. The office manager is trying to squeeze me for a good price, telling me she has somebody willing to do the workload for 6c/pl and she says its characters only, no spaces etc. Their previous lady did the transcription for a fixed amount per month but this sounds really screwed up. Any help or suggestions on what I need to think about regarding charges etc? I now get $3 a page and that includes my driving etc. I am happy that I would save gas and time but don't want to work for free either. My $3 a page figures to about 11cpl when I checked.
definitely charge fees if you do that
high ones... they don't want you to do it for free, do they?
I sympathize.. $100 an hour... what a job
Monthly fees
May I ask which carrier this is through? I have ATT and to use my laptop I can hook it up through my phone with a USB cable but in order to get on the internet I would have to buy the data package for $59.99 a month. Thanks, we do a lot of traveling in the summer.
THEIR pro wages paid with membership fees.

I just started using "mydocsonline" - no extra fees unlike the one advertising above this - sm
Simple to use to, I only have 2 users so $99 for a year which is half the cost of most of the others, and HIPAA compliant, etc. Not sure how cost effective if you have a lot of doctors though, but I like the fact they give you so much space a month, you can save/delete whatever you want to do, no extra charges/mb or kb--metroscript is 14.95 a month (or more) and .34/megabyte of each upload, I would have ended up paying about $120 a month, forget that! I tried the free trial of mydocsonline and it works well for me.
If you're talking about MetroScript, I didn't find that they had any extra fees (sm)
They pretty much only charge you for what you use. I only pay $14.99 per month and it works great for me.
Check into adoption through local Catholic services, fees in our state (Ky) were based on income and
although expensive, not as bad as private adoption. Still, a long wait, we were told.
what then, do you expect us to do? sm
all go out there and open our own service? Some of us don't want the hassle of finding the work, paying the taxes, hiring the people to do the work, etc, etc...I, for one, am very happy working for my national, which happens to be MQ. I certainly couldn't do any better on my own...and have half the headache to boot! For some, a national just "fits", it just does! Sorry if some people can't comprehend that! 
what did he expect?
Yup! Good luck to him, he let a whole lot of people down, including himself.
where do you expect them to go exactly?
I mean really, telling a poor city "evacuate" is ridiculous. They have no car, no transportation, no where to go, and half of them probably do not have a television set to know they needed to evacuate. It was probably confusing and paralyzing to them.
What to expect...
Two things.... Responsible grown up 40 something people out for a good time, listening to a major staple of their musical experience as a teenager... AND.... possibly a group of 40 something people who failed to realize that they are no longer teenagers anymore. We went to a Styx concert a few years back and there were so many former 70s teens who had obviously NOT grown up yet. Long hair, foul language, smoking pot. Sheesh.
But, maybe since it's probably an indoor concert, you might get a better class crowd. Expect a WONDERFUL evening! Have fun
I would not expect you to
and there's no way for me to assess what you know. I would really be interested in finding about 10 people who are really looking for ways to improve and let them try this FREE to get feedback. I can tell you this, a few years back I went to work for a local hospital. The "top dog" there was a really sweet girl who had been there for 14 years. In 6 months, my production was higher than hers. My supe asked me to do a little one-hour presentation on shortcuts and I did. Before I worked there, no one even used a shortcut program. It was a stipulation of my taking that job that I could use one. Most people said it really helped them, although one or two "old-timers" said they could type fast enough without it. some people will just resist change whether it could help them or not!!!
more often than you would expect :( - nm

Come on...you can't expect anything other

Actually you could probably expect
Phlebotomy is very desirable as well even in private practices. Good luck! Welcome to the medical field!
What do we expect?
Good old American kids are taught to the test, especially since No Child Left Behind; but even before that there were tests of reading and math skills at the state level. Writing and speaking skills cannot be graded on a Scantron, so they aren't part of the test and increasingly aren't taught. Text messaging ShortHand doesn't help either. They get into medical school - in a class with how many ESL fellow students? How many ESL professors? They get to their residencies - with how many ESL attendings? What medical school has a class for dictation? No, the people seen as the least educated (and paid accordingly) will clean up the mess like they always do. That would be you and me! Lucky for them, we're good at it!
expect a pay cut sm....
health insurance is HSA w/Aetna. If you do straight transcription you'll be ok, if doing speech, I'd look for another job (which is what I'm doing). Flexibility of schedule is really dependent on your super - I've had some who were horrible and like the one I have now, she's wonderful.
Well, they said I could expect OT immediately..??
We will see on the production. I was told the accounts were overburdened with work and there was a bounty of OT being offered.
We will see.
What do you expect MQ or any MTSO to do?
if they have MTs scheduled to work that don't work their shifts, or that don't produce, their TATs will suffer -- and keeping the client happy is the bottom line to staying in business and keeping you and me employed. So if the work isn't getting done, then they must hire some people that will work. Then of course those slackers will holler when they don't have any. I guess its just the way of the world...
What I expect from my government
When a mandatory evacuation is ordered I expect to be able to get on the hurricane evacuation routes and have enough gas available to get moving. Is this reality........NO.
As far as moving somewhere else, FL has a way of putting a grip on you. Low wages to the point you are stuck literally. I haven't been out of this state in over 7 years due to lack of funds.
Yes, I expect any minute now to
get an email from my supe saying the virus is the reason for the lack of work! 
I mean, I have been given every other excuse so I am sure this one will be next...
You are right on. There's only so much you can expect to be paid

don't expect miracles
Let me tell you what to expect on the floor. Expect older and experienced nurses who are biding their time before retirement to not be available for anything. Expect to get yelled at by patients and to get very used to the smell of feces and vomit. Expect to get yelled at by family members of patients who are angry with physicians, but since the physician's don't hang around, YOU get yelled at. Expect to get yelled at by physicians for just any old thing they want to yell at you for. Expect to try and find your orders on the chart, some written by the physician (good luck with that) and some typed by an MT who has not been QA'd....with you sitting there knowing your patient needs something but having no idea what (and don't expect the doctor to remember). Expect to be hit, bitten, kicked, spit on, having things thrown at you. Little children will hate you because you had to hurt them to get them better. Expect to get very very sick the first few months..you'll catch everything from everybody, especially if you have been rather isolated working at home. Also expect to do a lot of crying over that elderly person who died alone, over the child with cancer, the mother who lost her baby. You think being an MT is stressful, just wait.
Did you expect this reaction? n/m

Thank you all. This gives me some insight into what to expect. nm

Yes I expect him to fix the pipes.
BUT, he tells me when he's going to do it and how much he'll charge, and HE ALSO TELLS ME IF HE CANNOT DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If he cannot, he leaves, and I call another plumber! DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! 
How do you expect MT to know what is wanted

Can you ever expect a raise!?
I've been an MT- for 15 years, so I'm not new to this, but is it still common to keep on at the same per-line amount that you were hired at year after year!? I have been at my current job for 3-1/2 years and still make the same per line and also get no paid days off. I hate starting new jobs and when I hired on the per-line rate I got paid was higher than most, although it is IC work with no benefits. The cost of living has gone up so much and I need more money to make ends meet, but I am a bit wimpy about approaching my boss.
I would love some input on the going per-line rate (I do ER and clinic work) and also how often you receive a raise if ever so I can decide how to approach this issue. Thanks so much!
Did not expect a name, just want to see the experience
of people. I am deciding whether or not to be an IC or an employee again after being laid off is all. Believe me, I am not an MTSO or a suit trying to do PR here. Just wanting to know some information on trends to see if IC is a safer bet than being an employee. If I don't get much help here, I will go the IC route, because I already have a couple of offers on the table which are extremely flexible. Did not know if I should try to go back to an MTSO after being laid off again. Thanks for your answer.
If I expect perfection from my spouse, that must mean
I am perfect myself. I don't know of anyone who is perfect. I am not so judgmental of people that I expect them to never have bad days and never express frustration, or else the relationship is over. I'm sure there have been plenty of days in the past 20 years that we've known each other when I've annoyed him to no end. Sometimes intentionally.... LOL
I was disappointed too, especially that they expect me to believe that people who have been at each
other's throats for the last few seasons (mom and George, Keith and David, and now Claire and her new boyfriend) are suddenly going to have all of their relationships work out fine in the end. I guess why they call it fiction!
earnings - what can i expect from home?
Hello all ... I've been an MT for 13+ years and my current hospital has OUTSOURCED  my position! I'm in a crappy job at the hospital currently, working 3-11, to keep my benefits until I decide what to do, and go on interviews. I'm considering working for the company that took over the hospital account - but I'm not sure what to expect as far as pay per line.
If its not too personal - how much do you guys earn at home per hour/week?
THanks so much! Joanne
They expect so much from MTs but the other office staff
is paid well and make mistakes (x-ray techs, scheduling, etc), be paid full benefits.
What is UP with that?
You can pretty much expect to lose about 1/2 - 1/3
You will be required to turn in your tax papers and refund check to the Bankruptcy Clerk...he/she will then in turn tell you how much you can have of it back. They will disperse what they keep between some of the creditors you filed bankruptcy on. The portion you are allowed will be sent to your attorney. Our refund was about $3100...we got back $1200 from the bankruptcy court...then the attorney took out their fees for the bankruptcy and we ended up with about $200.
It definitely sucks..but compared to what we owed and got out from underneath of because of the bankruptcy, it was worth it.
WOW!! I knew I was told to expect some
rudeness here, but the degree is astounding!! Why I ask here and not calling a dr is because I did not have a dr to call. Not that it is anybody's beezwax. I did not post asking to be called ridiculous (an MT who cannot even spell ridiculous is just that, ridiculous!!). Syonara!!!
front tooth not sure about $$ but expect....nm
Yeah, I was in there the other day and saw them. I wouldn't expect that either.
Reasonable cpl to expect for newbie MT?
What would be a reasonable cpl to expect as full-time employee (not IC) with a national if you have no experience but do have MT education from one of the AAMT-approved schools?
As an MTSO do you expect more from an IC than an employee...(sm)
I personally would expect the same quality of work from either. Just curious if others expect better quality from an IC or an employee. For example, should an IC send in less blanks to QA verus an employee and overall have a better quality work?
Thanks for your opinions. I have never thought about this until it was recently brought to my attention.
I guess I would have to say I WOULD expect an independent
contractor to be able to work more independently than an employee. The whole point is you are saying, I can do this on my own, as an IC. However, I only hired IC's and I did my best for the training period to be as successful as possible for everyone all the way around. They still sometimes leave blanks and I find out what it is (although most of the time, if they can't get it, I can't get it LOL) and we all add it to our lists. Working together...
Not at all, but you cannot expect to sue her for stealing a client if she did not know the sm
client was one of yours. If you refuse to reveal your client list, then you are vulnerable and your noncompete clause is useless.
Why do they expect perfection for pennies?...
When you work on production to make a decent check you have to push it, and you have all these horrible accents, why, then, do they expect miracles? Maybe if I had an hourly salary.
