Statutory employees too?
Is the new pay plan for statutory/IC employees too? Cant you only switch to full time employee status twice a year, I think May and October or November.
statutory employees - MQ
When you have to take off, do you call in sick like you would a regular job? In the past, I have and they have been quite unreasonable if I needed to take a day off for sick or personal reasons. What upsets me is when there is no work, Im stuck, no work, oh well, but when I need to take off, I better be there, I better work or they have been quite nasty with me..What has been others response? What have others done when they needed to take off? Thanks for your response!
Any statutory employees out there?
I'll be starting a new job soon with a service as a statutory employee. I want to get on top of my tax situation now so that come April I won't get hit with a big bill from the tax man.
Any suggestions/guidelines for how much of each of my checks I should be setting aside for taxes? I know that my employer will be paying 1/2 of my Social Security taxes. What about the rest?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Does MQ have STATUTORY EMPLOYEEs anymore under new plan????
Question for you Statutory Employees about retirement?
Any of you who work as an SE, have you ever looked in to an SEP IRA or an individual 401K for funding a retirement plan? I was just wondering if this is allowed, since the income is considered self employment income, but I have searched on the Internet and can't find anything to tell how the laws specifically apply to SE's. I know if I was an IC there would be no question. I already have a Roth IRA but the limit for that or a regular IRA is $4000 a year and that is not enough IMO for retirement, would love to be able to save some of my SE income tax-deferred. I'm going to ask my accountant about it but figured out of courtesy I would wait til after the tax filing season winds down. Just curious if any of you could help out in the meantime?? TIA.
Did you get the email this morning about the new pay plan for statutory employees. What is your
feeling. I know I cant struggle any longer or harder for money anymore. I agree. I am in all these different accounts to make lines, being QA'd on all of them and I just cant do anymore than what I am doing now so I am not sure what step to take next. I guess just wait and see what happens with the new pay plan. I hope that is not why they are hiring so many people because of concerns of a lot of people leaving because of it. Have you heard of more accounts being lost. I wonder where all these accounts are going.
Did everyone get that email from Frank L. about the new pay plan coming out for statutory employees
this morning. Does anyone have any idea what this is going to be. I hope I dont lose money after all the years with MQ but we shall see.
On this new MQ rewards plan what exactly is it offering statutory employees and I suppose that that
is going to be the end of our quarterly bonus. My concern still is if there is no work how do you get any incentive if they lower the base rate. Sounds like employees will have a larger window to get their work done which means we all will be scrambling around for work at all hours.
Are you hiring employees or
In my opinion, independent contractor means you can take the work or you can refuse the work. If you are employing these MTs, then that gives you the right to dictate statements like "work first then play". Set schedules and hours are for employees and not ICs. That is where the trouble starts in this profession. Small MTSOs want ICs that ACT LIKE EMPLOYEES. Well if that is disappointing to you as an MTSO owner, then so is only making 8 cpl and then having to make a 24-hour turnaround and be at the mercy of the MTSO. JMO.  I save this kind of dedication for accounts that I have sought out myself (making 13 cpl) not working for an MTSO that only pays a small wage and wants a whole lot in return. 
then you need to hire employees ... sm
If you need someone to adhere to a strict schedule then you need to hire employees and pay their SS. I am finding that more and more employers want the best of both world. They want to pay like an IC and treat like an employee. Why MTs are putting up with this is beyond me. If they report the "employers" to the IRS they can be held liable for back taxes.
It's cheaper to hire a national than pay employees
nm
Amphion uses that system. They also hire part-time employees.

Any hospitals/clinics hiring home-based employees on an hourly basis? TIA

Why do companies pay hiring bonuses,
advertise in hundreds of papers nationwide, spend $$ printing and mailing out postcards advertising for new MTs, when if they would just pay their current MTs 1 cpl more, or offer benefits or better benefits they wouldn't have a problem.
It seems like in the long run they would come out better and it sure beats having to screen/train, provide equipment, etc. a dozen or more new MTs/week. If the companies have the $$ for all of the above, why can't they pay their MTs more? They may not be getting the line rate they used to get but the money is coming from somewhere.
What companies hire....
international/over seas MTs? I have been looking and looking for a decent job that hires MTs from Canada, are their any?
RE: What companies hire
Spheris.
Does anyone know of companies who hire
I currently transcribe but miss medical billing. I would love to find a job working from home. Please post response or email me.
thanks
Any companies out there still hire

WHY do companies say they hire QA from within? Do
they not understand that MT and QA are two completely different positions, and that if an MT wanted a QA position, she would've applied for it in the first place? This has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. Rather than hire someone with 10+ years of QA experience, you'd rather 'promote' an MT to become a newbie QA & have to train them from scratch how to QA? Or make someone who's been a professional QA for years become an MT again, when the reason they became a QA in the first place probably had to do with their hands giving out?! Again, it's not a promotion -- it's a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT JOB. Sometimes I wonder if the people in charge of making these decisions have any MT experience at all. <end of rant>
Sometimes companies hire ICs for
overflow, sometimes permanently. As an IC you do have to purchase your own insurance and you get no vacation time. Some places will pay extra for holidays even as an IC, but you will not get "holiday pay" if you do not work. You set your own hours, if the MTSO is willing for you to work those fine. They cannot set in stone your hours, but they CAN say when they have work available if it is not 24/7 and you can choose to work or not.
What does MT companies undercharging their employees
 have to do with how they are getting clients? Their (the MT companies) clients are hospitals, clinics, physicians, and physician group practice, who don't give a hoot what the Transcriptionist is paying, but only about the check they are writing for the Invoice every month.
And that will happen right after the companies who hire...
these illegals finally start getting punished by breaking the law that says they canNOT hire illegals! The whole term "illegal" has taken on quite a new meaning, hasn't it? Just refers to the US citizens these days, I guess - get caught speeding get a ticket. Get caught creeping into our country, get amnesty. Such a world this has come to!!!!
OTOH, if companies can't get employees here to work SM
their schedules consistently enough to meet contract committments (so those very important medical reports will be in the charts quickly), they know where to find workers who will be glad to do the job. Maybe they are trying to make it possible to keep the work here. Let's face it, the standard of what is required, especially in terms of work attendance, is rising, even if wages aren't.
I'd start looking now. Few companies hire newbies so
it make take a while to find a position, or at least a legit one. There are some companies that will offer to mentor you for no pay or almost no pay. Avoid any company that says you need equipment/software and you have to buy it from them. You may need equpiment/software for the position, but should not have to buy from them.
Start posting your resume on the various job boards to see what bites you get.
MQ and many other companies hire people for 40 hours
a week with a minimum production amount, but still required to work 40 hours a week, some say 32 hours a week, but a minimum number of hours either way.
Many companies hire new grads for SR editing.

Many companies offer benefits for at-home employees
Hi. I'm a single mom and I work from home as a full-time employee plus benefits with flexible hours. Have to meet a certain minimum line count in a two-week period to keep the benefits. Also have a part-time IC job. Look around. You should be able to find a job where you can stay home and get benefits.
How are hiring companies getting away with trend towards IC versus employee status SM
after the lawsuit that determined that IC was indeed an employee because she was told when to work, what days of the week. The company got into trouble with employment laws because of this a few years back, yet I see most of the job postings on this and other sites are mostly IC.
Does anyone know why some companies won't hire you if you have satellite internet service? TIA

I was thinking about this situation with companies that hire people and then there is no work. When
 you think about that, that is about as low as anyone can get to just run people out of work for whatever reason when people need money to live, pay bills, support children and feed them, etc. When you really think about that, people's lives hinge on their income and as far as I am concerned, that is the worst thing any company can due to the people that work for them. That is how I feel today because I have been out of work and scrounging for lines and I am disgusted with the whole business. I hope that companies will soon wake up and stop doing this to people. It is disgusting.
Are there any companies out there OTHER than MQ that hire part time SE or IC that are internet based
that are a decent company that supply you with a decent amount of work.
Just curious, are there companies who just hire ER MT?? I just left my hospital position due to voi

Does anyone know of companies that hire for physical thearpy work? Many years experience.

For most companies how many hours may part time employees work. What is the minimum and maximum
usually.
INDIA, INDIA, NEWBIE LOOKING FOR INDIAN-OWNED COMPANY-FORGET AMERICA COMPANIES HIRING NEWBIES!!!!
 Our country sucks when it comes to teamwork. My experience is in hospital transcription and 95% foreign dictators. Most of my dictators are from India and surrounding countries. Give up you all,  India is already way ahead of us!
they don't REFUSE to hire new MT's. They REFUSE to hire them at 6-8 cents per line.
mostly because you can now hire experienced MT's at 6-8 cpl. In the near future, you will be able to hire experienced MT's at 5 cpl. Then people will start getting out of this business and new people will stop trying to get in. I had a job opening and asked people to bid what they wanted per line. One very smart young lady was a new grad and bid 3 cpl. I hired her a year and a half ago, she has been terrific! and I was willing to spend my time training her because a) time is money and she saved me money so I could spend my time and b) she had definite potential!. In another six months, she will be the MT with 2 years experience applying for jobs. AND she will get them because she will test well and essentially "bought" her experience. So use Economics 101...
statutory
I know this has been asked before, but could someone please tell me the difference between statutory employee and just employee? TIA
statutory vs IC SM
Thanks for clearing that up, all this time I'm statutory and thought I was IC. So does that mean I could apply for partial unemployment??
statutory vs. IC sm
So if companies cannot dictate schedules to an IC, what about statutory employees? I haven't discussed any of this with my company in 5-7 years!! Now they suddenly need an update, wherein they want to demand a set schedule....
time off statutory
As they are quick to point out, as statutory you are NOT an employee and do not have empolyee benefits; they can't have it both ways, if you are IC and want to take off they really don't have a right to say anything; offices differ, but that's the bottom line.
SE as in statutory employee at MQ nm
Statutory status
When I worked statutory, they took out Federal, SS, and Medicare.
statutory status
I sent you an email.
Statutory employee s/m
was statutory for years until MQ made us all go to regular employee status. The one thing I loved about this job was freedom and they really took that away when they set us up as regular employees.
I just took another job as a statutory employee and am working out my notice with MQ. Love, love, love it. Statutory is the best of both worlds for me since I don't need bennies. The PTO was nice, but the freedom is worth so much more.
Statutory, I guess
PT, no benefits, no paid vacation/holidays, etc. The only thing they do is withhold my state/fed taxes. I work hours and days specified by them.
means statutory employee...
The link someone gave above has a section on statutory employee (SE) but are still independent contractors
Statutory status question....sm
if you are statutory status they take out federal, but not state taxes, is that correct? What about SS? Thinking of taking a job on statutory status. Thanks.
Statutory MT/Independent contractor
Does anybody know of companies that still hire Statutory or independent contractors? Since I take the standard deduction on my personal taxes I can no longer deduct my MT expenses and that's a major ouch. Thanks for any help.
question for statutory workers
What percentage would you recommend setting aside from each check to cover your taxes? thanks.
Doh! I thought SE was statutory employee. Sorry! NM

Statutory versus employee
Are there any advantages to being statutory versus an employee? Anyone out there working statutory who can help? Thanks!
