What are the "rules" for an IC?

I recently started as an IC for a small company after having worked for a large one for YEARS. My question is, what are the rules? If you take a day off, are you required to do that work as catch up the next day? My job asks that I do. Why take a day off if you have to work double the next day and play catch up?

I will write the new "Rules of MT" for free...

I have a Master's in English, work for a major, well-known medical publisher, and I will put out a book that will keep both the dictators and MTs happy by, as the above poster mentioned, following traditional rules of grammar and punctuation...and one that doesn't change just to enable publishing another edition!

How does that sound?

E-mail me as well, and we'll do this!

The BOS is just a bunch of "rules" decided on

AMA, AAMT, JC are just live gvment. Making "rules" but not following
