IC and overtime sm

In Reply to: IC being asked to work OT weekends - IC in overtime
It's been awhile but I think to qualify as an IC you are not to be "told" you "have" to work overtime, otherwise you would be an employee. Lots of changes to the rules but IC status is just that, you are self-employed, not their employee. Of course, they could make your life miserable for you, I'm sure, and probably would give preferential treatment later on to those who cooperate with their every whim.

When Amphion, or any company, has mandatory overtime, they pay overtime pay for it, don't they?
:)
If they are not going to pay you for overtime, the answer is no. nm

Bonuses and overtime
You're very lucky. Do it while it lasts. Once worked for a company that always did that and out of the blue they changed and went on a hiring spree and then not enough work. Would rather work for one like yours.
They will be saving on all overtime, sm
benefit packages such as health insurance, pension, etc., holiday pay, as well as not having worry about vacation coverage and sick time coverage.
Is it worth it to the hospital? I don't know, some seem to do well with outsourcing and others do not. I think it depends on what the standards are of the institution and the people running the department.
In my 25 year experience as an IC and small MTSO, it is my opinion that Community Hospitals are most likely to care more about quality and retaining happy employees. Most of their money comes from endowments and wealthy individual gifts.
Those hospitals eaten up into a Huge Health System are more likely to care about the bottom line only as they are now eating up physician practices, taking them over and making the physicians employees of the health system.
It is difficult for physicians to maintain a private practice because of malpractice insurance rates. So, the health care systems are taking advantage of the situation and getting group rates while taking over the physicians.
Our entire Health System in the USA is going down hill fast. In my opinion, it is a disgrace...
Required overtime
Advice needed! Boss is pushing for us to do overtime, but the last time I worked overtime I got paid LESS than a regular check!!! It all went to taxes, and the way they calculate holidays, etc. So, I told her for this reason, I don't think it's fair for me to work overtime. She said, "Too bad for you, but we are backlogged, and everyone needs to pitch in." I want to be a teamplayer, but working for "free" really gets me down. Especially when I do at least 600 extra lines every day! Please help me handle this tactfully.
Dallas/SW office is in overtime. Maybe you
could try to switch offices.
I worked overtime this week...
and I received a 0.05 cpl bonus for all of my lines. Here is the difference between you and I: I work overtime when asked, but I do not act greedy steal lines from my fellow MTs while doing so. Have a great night working overtime and grabbing someone else's lines  .
You will need to check your state overtime
laws. In mine (Kentucky) if you work 2 Sundays in a row without a day off, the 2nd Sunday is automatic overtime, no matter if you have 40 hours in for that week or not. Need to check state laws and then with your MTSO. If it is overtime, then they probably would not go for that.
I've been on mandatory overtime for over a week!
Yay! Love overtime.
I can make good money without overtime
I posted below but when I saw your post and it said crap- I type mostly VR and I work 8 hour days 4 days a week. I make at least $160.00 per day- add that up if I worked full 40 hour week or lordy if I worked overtime like years gone by. I get paid no more because of my years of doing this- work for national- the pay is low but I am fast. I just wanted to make about the same as when I worked in the office and set my goals accordingly.
Me, too. I expect to be paid overtime and night shift for that! nm
