If she has earned it they have to pay it is
what I said. There has to be something in writing or something inferred that there are benefits of paid time off/vacation and if so then she has to be paid. If there is no such understanding then you cannot expect payment.
I've been through this same situation.
If you earned more than $600.00 for the year, then the
company is required to send you a 1099 form and it must be postmarked by 1/31.
For anyone that is an IC can you tell me why your wages earned are not the same as what your are cr
my accountant explained this but I cant remember the reason we dont get the full amount of credit and can you tell me what percentage we dont get credit for.
She doesn't even know if she earned the bonus because
she doesn't know what the bonus was based on is everything that I've read in this situation. The co said there would be a bonus, but she has no idea for what or how much. Sounds like the company put out a little snip of info, got the person to work her butt of to "qualify" when there possibly was not a bonus even to begin with.
He hasn't EARNED our respect. (nm)

I am making in 2005 what I earned in 1995
Like you and so many others, I have watched my wages as both an IC and an employee go down, down, down. I worked for a company owned by an MT. She paid very good wages but sold the company to an Indian company, who got rid of all the Americans except for a few who would accept very low pay. It's funny...clients want 100% accuracy but they don't want to pay for it. They agree that they can't just randomly pluck people off the street to do MT, that they have to hire experienced or trained people. But they don't want to pay us for our experience or our training. I am doing my last MT job. I have my bachelor degree almost completed and I'm outta here. The lack of respect for MTs, from employers, other MTs, from offshore companies, from clients, from AAMT, is so disheartening.
Question on this, do you have to pay taxes on this as earned income?
I live in a state where we have income tax in addition to federal. Each year on the money we get back from state, we have to claim as income the next year so we are taxed, get paid, taxes on that, get paid, well you get the idea. I hate to get money and have $$$$ shown as earned income, I am way up there in paying taxes now and don’t need additional taxes on me.
profession not based on $ earned, but on specific criteria...sm
"I definitely have made tons of money in my own business. Sounds like low self-esteem on the posters below, unhappy, depressed."
Well, lots of people make "tons of money in their own business," i.e. hookers and drug dealers - doesn't mean it's a profession. A profession is done by professionals - think law, medicine, teaching. MT is just a job. That being said, I'm still far from unhappy and depressed! LOL but it's still just a job. The body of knowledge to do MT is so far from what is considered a body of knowledge (again think law) it's not even in the running. Even a checker at Jewel has a specific body of knowledge. It's the comparison that counts, not the existence. Many people are uninformed about what profession actually means. Do some research, you'll see what I mean.
Gotta brag: Just found out my son earned... (see message)
the Presidential Fitness Award for the third year in a row, and my daughter earned the National Award!
Waste of time and hard-earned money
when you can only make may be 1 cpl more if you are a CMT. They should not charge you, they should just let you take the test and send you the certificate.
B.S. in HIM, earned RHIA, didn't want to be management, found MT came easy to me. nm

so what are you waiting for?

I am waiting for an internship, I have given up trying to find a job! I decided that everyone is right, you have to do the internship or mentoring program and that is the way to go!!! I think it is the way to get my foot in the door so to speak. Thank you for all who have given me good advice. I think this is the way to go! There is no other way to go, that is my belief anyway...
waiting
I totally understand....
What are waiting for?
Wouldn't it be fabulous if all of us young chicks in our 50s formed our own business together? I don't know what business it would be, but we'd sure have fun! I think we should all audition for Deal or No Deal, and whichever one wins, we split the winnings between us. Wouldn't that be a gas? 
I'm waiting too....
I have 25 years experience and have been posting on this site and one other..I want to be able to start PT and then when my full-time job stops Radiology Overtime, then I'll be free to do more at home. Is it the economy? I love being at home and dread having to pound the pavement and work somewhere at night!
I'll be waiting to see
those Keystrokes links.
Agree and waiting until we all will have to pay for

I kept waiting to be scared on that one

Nope....not new.....still waiting!!

Just like when you have call waiting, you hit the

Take the one waiting for or try to work both sm
for short term to see which is really the one you want. Ya never can tell. If need be, be up front with current employer, tell them you want to be fair and say working both places to SEE rather than just quit them.
I am not sure about the waiting lists here yet,
but I do know that the program only takes so many students. That will probably be another thing I will have to factor in too. Great tip on taking the electives while waiting though. I am only going for the associate's degree as well. Are you interested in going into psych too?
what if I have call waiting?
Will the call waiting interfere with it?
Ha, sitting here waiting
for work!
waiting for work
just curious - who do you work for?
Been waiting 3 months
for an Illinois company to pay me the one and only invoice I sent them. Have sent emails so that everything is in writing. I have called and left message, but she's not in and doesn't call back. Excuses have been that client not billed, I'm been sick, will send next week, etc. Filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau, but they cannot help in matter. Talked to Labor Board, but they cannot help because I was a contractor, and they suggested I get a lawyer. I am now in process of writing a demand letter and then will file small claim lawsuit. I began asking for payment since 10 days after invoice and still nothing!
Only worked for them for a week because I knew it wasn't going to work out, so I think this is MTSO messing with me because they are ticked off. I thought of billing client I did work for just to embarrass her!
Sitting waiting right now....
I guess this gives us time to chat on MTStars.
Waiting for what? They don't do yearly updates.
What else is there to say? But if you want to keep on whining about something that is untrue be my guest.
kid's crazy waiting to see mars
do you have kids stay up late just to see mars... oh!! my poor little girl waited for this planet since the start of august, and she is hoping to see it tonight or tomorrow as big as moon. she even marked it on the calendar... and what's funny about it is that we have never spoted the mars... not once. grrrrr!!!!
Many years ago, I was in a waiting room
with a group of men waiting for interviews for the same job. After about 15 minutes of very cold, snarled stares from them, one of them spoke up and told me I should go home, that they had a family to support and I had no business there taking jobs from them. I guess it didn't matter to him that I was a divorced mother with 2 children of my own to support and that even if I had no one to support and was a billionaire, it was my right to be there for that job interview as much as his.
I stayed and went through the interview process. I didn't get the job; I don't think that man (just cannot bring myself to call him a gentleman) did either as he was not the manager I dealt with later in that office.
It really burned me that men would have that attitude toward women. It started a slow change in my perspective on the gender differences, equal rights for women, etc.
So why don't you post something about transcription? You just waiting for somebody SM
to post what you like? post something about transcription, don't gripe about what other people post.
She already bought it, too late for waiting! nm

Another day of waiting endlessly for work
But come Thursday and throughout the entire weekend wil come a stream of e-mails saying there is work now for us to make up our lines!!! Are we to be available 24/7 at these places? Does ANY company hire enough people and have enough work for those of us who actually WANT to work at a steady pace? Anyone? Really tired of this. I am a very dedictated MT.
My Yahoo IM is not working either...still waiting

Congratulations! I am waiting on kittens....
I live in the country, some neighbors moved and left 7 cats, one being female, who is pregnant. Poor little thing only has one eye, but she sure is cute! Have taken her in to show her a bit of TLC, now the wait for her brood! They will all be neutered in the next 2 weeks and she will be spayed after her kittens are here. One good thing though, we have no mice!
...shows up in your que with the next 1 or 2 jobs waiting for you. nm

You should disable call-waiting because if you are....
doing a low-speaking doc and have the volume up high, you'll blow your ear drums out. On the other hand, if that is your only line, what if someone from work needs to get in touch with you? As far as losing the job you're working on, it would depend on how the system is set up and whether or not the work is assigned to you or in a pool. I'm not sure if the phone has a "hold" button or not. It's been a while since I used one but I had 2 lines so it wasn't a problem. Good luck.
It is best to disable the call waiting
so you have less interruptions as it can be annoying but I don't think it will mess up the dictation. Also, may want to look into getting voice mail through phone company rather than your own answering machine if you don't already have that so you don't miss any important calls. My set up is such that all unanswered calls go to voice mail.
WHAT did you do? I've been waiting to find out!
I right clicked and dragged a file from my desktop into ExpressScribe but it played back very distorted. Just wondering if there was a better way to do it.
I get tired of waiting for my check
I work because I need the money. Companies hire you because they need the money. All I am asking for is to be paid on time... Not 1, 2, or 3 days later due to our postal service. Mail the check earlier. I promise I will not deposit it until my scheduled pay day. Receiving a check in the mail on a weekend does not help me if my bank is not open. My creditors do not want to hear " I am waiting on my money before I can send you yours". Please.....
Have ordered it and am waiting for its arrival.
the tutorials, I think it will work for what I do.
waiting for Stedman's 5th edition ---
of Medical & Surgical, but will not release until January of 2008.
No, just *^)(@$# frustrated by waiting and punching
numbers and getting no where. I am MTer just like rest and don’t have time on my hands to wait around.
Sitting here waiting for work
I hate it when this happens. Sitting here waiting for a job to get into the pool. This is so stupid.
Waiting on new Dell computer, anyone else?
What in the world is going on with Dell, does anyone know? I have had a brand new computer ordered since about a month or so ago and today has been the 4th time they have prolonged the delivery, stating needing to get parts. I have ordered several from them before and never this problem. Has anyone else had a problem with them?
I never received, and neither did my
We were all at the big M. I just resigned after almost a year, and did meet all of their criteria. However, their system isn't correct and even said that I was not going to be hired when my friend asked about her referral bonus. Mind you...I had already worked there for 6 months at this point. I keep getting "I will check on it" when I ask about my sign on bonus. I gave up and left.
I have received these before too. sm
I just deleted it and ignored it.
