I would really like to work a Monday through Friday job.  Plus, I prefer IC status.   Probably an impossible combo...


Thanks!

Does anyone know of any good companies that offer IC status and little ASR?
I'm working for MQ right now as flexible part-time but thinking I want to go back to IC status.  I just have this feeling that things aren't going to be as flexible as they used to be.  That and I'm sick of all the ASR and getting paid crap!  Most of my work is ASR, I'm getting way more lines, but my paycheck is smaller!?!?!  Need flexibility and a decent paycheck!  Any input would be great from anybody!  I've worked only for MQ for 8 years and wondering if there would be anything better out there!
Anyone know of Escription companies that offer IC status. I do not want employee status but would
like to stick with the Escription platform at all possible.
What companies offer employee status?

I'm needing to get health insurance through work and wanted to know what companies offer this.  I'd prefer a company that required 1000 lines or less per shift if that is possible.  The line rate really isn't that important as my main concern would be a good family health plan. 


Any leads are appreciated!  Thanks.


Can anyone recommend companies that offer IC status, part time?

Any good ones out there for IC's?  Part time?


Does Spheris offer IC status?


Any help appreciated!


Any companies offer QA/Editor jobs (employee status)
I currently work as an Editor (IC) for a company that pays a rather low hourly rate ($12). I can only be considered for an increase after working 6 months if I average 300+ lines an hour(to $14). Compound this with the fact that there is usually no work.

I find it impossible to do more than 300 lines an hour while providing feedback therefore, I will never get a raise! I am looking to work for a company as an employee who pays well (hourly) whether there is work or not. I'm very concerned about not having enough work to meet my financial obligations.

differentials, and incentive based pay plan?  I think I covered it all.  Mostly looking for PTO as a part time employee.  Thanks for your replies.
Good grief. Why can't these companies hire PTers for weekends.

Good IC status only companies?

Does anybody know of any good IC status only companies?  I currently work at a hospital, but I have to come back home to work due to my husband's military career.  I really need a flexible schedule since I have a three year old with special needs.


TIA! 


Does Transtech offer IC status??
Does anyone know if Transtech has IC status or is it only employee status? 
Transhealth? Do they offer IC or SE status?
x
they offer employee status only.
Unless they changed it
You are an IC with JLG. They do not offer employee status.
You tell them your desired hours but they do expect you to work when you tell them you will.
There are no bennies. They offer IC and statutory status.
Pay is comparable to most of the services. If you want employee status, they do not offer it. They are a good company though.
Does MDI-MD offer employee status, benefits??? SM
I could not find any of this info on their website.  I need to know before applying so I won't waste their time and mine.  Thanks very  much.
Do they offer both statutory employee and independent contractor status? Thank you! NM

No, but I saw the ad - 12 cpl for weekends. Sounds good.

Transform, are they any good for weekends and evenings?

They try to stay in TAT, even on weekends (as they should) Good company.

Companies.........IC status
Don't companies know that if you are IC status, they cannot dictate your hours or give you a shift to work.  That is against the law.  If they do so, you have every right to have them pay your social security taxes as an employee.  I'm amazed at how blatantly they advertise IC, then dictate your hours and the pay you will receive, even though it's against the law.  Gee, I guess too many MT's go along with it. 
If you are very good, the company accommodates you so you don't work weekends

Are there any companies that will hire PRN for IC status?
I think maybe what I need is a PRN IC job that will let me work when I need to (like when there is no work on my main account) so that Im not idle and making NO MONEY for that day or few hours or whatever it ends up being. If you know of any place that does this, please let me know.
do any companies still have statutory status?
and do they provide the computer or do you use your own?
Employee status companies?
I was wondering if anyone out there would know of any companies that have employee status.

My husband and I are so close to being able to get approved for a home loan but the bank can't count my earnings until I have worked 3 years IC status with tax returns to prove it and I am only at 2 years but we are forced to move out within the next 2 months as our landlord is selling the house we are renting.

But if I can get employee status where my taxes are taken out for me (if MT companies even do that for work-at-home people), I only have to work 30 days and then we can qualify for a decent loan.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks for reading my story.

I'm looking for a company with employee status that does VR.  I have two IC accounts, but want something to do where I can have my taxes taken off.  Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Your timing is good. They just asked me if I wanted to pick up an ER account for weekends which inc
Thursdays and Fridays. It is an internet-based account and a good one but I have enough work on my primary.
Are there other companies that use SE status and DQS other than MQ.Sounds like MQ has maxed out.

I posted asking for companies who hire p.r.n. IC status sm

I am not asking for companies to contact me.  I am merely asking if there areny MTs out there who know of companies that have this as an option.  No different than any other question about companies here, such as who hire FT, PT, benefits available, etc.  This is not a job wanted posting.  This is a posting asking to give me ideas on where to start my search and if such arrangements exist. 


PLEASE give people a break here, this is what this board is supposed to be for isn't it, a place for MTs to network and learn from each other?


Incentives Which Companies Offer Them?
and which companies used to offer them but are changing their policy now?
Most companies in any business do not offer
benefits for part-time employees.   They still have to honor any accrued PTO earned up to this point though. 
Any companies offer bennies for
nm
Some companies offer incentive...
pay in the form of higher rates when you go over their required number of lines...not sure how it works exactly, but know that some companies do offer that.
Companies that offer weekly pay?
Which MT companies pay by the week?
Comparing a few companies, it seems OSI has a lot to offer!
Whatcha think?
Y don't companies with employee and IC status stop the ICs from working
when work is slow? Is it because they don't want their FT employees to get enough lines to keep benefits?  The ICs can say when they will work, when they will take off, so the companies should do the same for them.  No wonder there is no loyalty to companies. 
Any companies out there paying 9.5 to 10 cpl for employee status with bennies?

Please!.   I am looking.    I have 20+ years experience in all work-types, acute care, multispeciality clinic, 98% and above on accuracy, 1600 lines per day.   I'm sort of desperate, but don't want to settle!


anyone know of companies that use Dictaphone ExText that might be hiring IC status?

any info appreciated.


 


Can anyone please tell me what companies hire p.r.n. status? Cleary, I'm going to need a backup
plan through all this BEFORE Jan. 1st.  Thank you!
What companies offer FLEXIBLE schedules for
full time employees?  I am willing to work the hours required for full time status, but I am in college too and I have to have the flexibility - my schedule changes every semester.  Can anybody point me to ANY good companies who let you work whenever you want as long as you get your hours in?  And I am not interested in IC - only working as an employee.  Thanks!
Which companies offer a matching 401K? nm

What companies offer internship programs?
Please post.  TIA
I think most companies offer direct deposit since they may
have MTs all over the U.S.  Some companies charge you for DD, some don't.  Some companies still mail checks, though will overnight it at your expense.   I think the companies that mail checks is a fairly small number.

Do any companies offer insurance that covers IVF? sm

Does anyone happen to know if any companies offer insurance that covers IVF?  I have been in this business for nearly a decade and have been doing QA for the last 4, but I would take a job right now with just about anyone as long as they offered insurance that covered IVF.  It is so expensive out of pocket, and I really need the coverage.  I have even been considering taking a job out of the transcription industry to get this coverage.  So, I guess if anyone knows anywhere at all I can get this coverage.. please help!!!  I am unfortunately in a state where this coverage is not mandated... so it is very hard to come by... :(


I am not sure if this was the right board... but I thought it was worth a shot... :P


Are there any companies that offer part-time
employee status?  I am looking to work certain days of the week, but I'd like part-time employee status?  Is there anyone that is currently in that type of situation that could steer me in the right direction?  I have a lot experience and am very reliable.  Thanks in advance for any help in this regard.  I appreciate my fellow MTs and their opinions count in my book. 
I asked for more than what I've seen other companies offer.
There was about a 2 second hesitation and then they said yes we can do that.
