as an IC and think you should be classified as an employee, and they determine you have been an employee, are there tax/penalty obligations for the IC?

May be set on incorrect file setting? type of file??
If you are using, for instance, Express Scribe to listen/transcribe, there are about 10 or so types of setting for the file you use, wav, mp3 etc.  If so, go to the top of screen, look for setting. I just click all of them. 
The file to save is the SPF file.
 
Maybe we should all form - nm

Nothing really...ASR is just MQ form of it.
Or at least as far as I know, but I've only done it at MQ...so I very well could be wrong:-)
We ought to form our own company LOL
MTs for MTs? Americans doing work for Americans? Contact them all and keep the accounts with the same Americans who have been doing the work. Okay, okay, nice fantasy, but it was fun.
A bit of gallows humor.
Just a form of advertising
Kind of like a Q&A. Like does so and so offer insurance A: Why yes they do very reasonable. Q: Any info on this company. A: Great company!! Smiley smiley tappy tappy feet. Get a room---- pleaseeeeee
See Search box top of this form
you can type in Synernet and up comes other posts on company, I saw 7 cents a line, no spaces and 4 cents a line for editing with minumum lines requirments of 1600 straight typing and 2200 lines for editing.  Not for me.  Slave labor.

Go to your state's website and get the W4 form SM

for your state, fill it out and send it to Medware's HR department/payroll.  If they still don't take the taxes out, REPORT THEM TO YOUR STATE TREASURY.  The state will go after them and they will have to pay penalties.


By law, they HAVE to take state taxes out of your paycheck if you send the W4 to them.  They can't refuse or avoid it. 


I am in no way, shape or form trying to bash here.

I got the same form email today and

Who's going to give up the life they have now and try to form one?!!

1099 Form amount
Isn't the amount $600.00? If you make that amount or more then you must be sent a 1099 form? I do have records of all of my earnings that I made last year. I made a little over $3,000.00 with this company. It was not that much, but enough to report in.
When I was hired they sent a form letter saying
starting pay was 8 cpl - no exceptions.  They talked raise frequently but never got one, never got paid for OT, never got paid for holidays.  There was a problem a few months ago and pay was late as supposedly they didn't have money to meet total payroll, but I never had a problem with my check. 
MQ application form after interview

Needing a new job, I applied, tested and interviewed with MQ.  At the end of the interview, I was told there was one last thing I needed to do, which was to fill out another form.  An application similar to the screening application I had completed when I applied initially as I understand.  Well, I can't find it.  I've also called them twice about it and they said I had been sent an email about it with the link.  But, I have received no email about this and do not know where to find this form to complete.  I was hoping someone here would know.  If you do, please let me know.  Thank you in advance.


Sweetness. Let's form a posse.

Go to the medquist form for the date of 03/17/09
Top of page *Two factual Verifications: and under that is: Proof taken off internet. If you click on this you will see the article regarding MQ and SPI's new contract regarding sending 2 million lines per month to them. By 2011 they will be sending 6 million.
I worked form them as well and it was a terrible
the glowing reviews on here of late, and there are 2 reasons for it:  1. For the umpteeenth time, there is some MT out here who works for a different Landmark, and she always gets in on the PA Landmark thread and claims they are wonderful. 2. I honestly believe the posters who praise were 100% management or supervisors, as I know many MTs who worked for them - we all knew each other before - and not one had a good experience, not a single one. Personalities aside, they are a tiny overflow company, and they never have steady work for even part time.  So, nothing has changed, yet someone keeps lying on this board and acting like they are multiple people and how great the company is.  Its so sad that this continues on here. That's why to this day I don't listen to 1 single review of a company on here. If I read good reviews, I don't believe them. If I hear nothing, I figure its a safe bet, and that finally landed me a wonderful job.  But every single job that was praised on this board ended up being literal crap. So very sorry you had to learn the hard way, too. That company is a joke, though its not funny when its happening to you. Be lucky you got out as quick as you did.
How can you receive an email form your
company if your email is not typed exactly right? It will never be delivered into your inbox, but will go right back to the company, as 'not able to deliver.'


It's the adjective form calculous that modifies sm
cholecystitis.  Feel free to look it up.   Calculus is a noun. 
Please do not put your resume in the form of a medical report.
For starters, using patient's names is incorrect and you have yours all throughout that medical report.  I don't know who started this, but it is simply NOT professional and that resume will go very quickly in the dead resume bin.
time to form union, people

WTH do they wait so long? is it a form of torture?
lazy?!?!?!
P.S. - If your company has filed form SS-8 ask for a copy.
If they won't give it to you, see if you can get it from the IRS; I believe you can.

And, of course you can still file your own SS-8 even if the company has filed it. I'm not saying an MTSO would LIE on the form they file, but anyone can make a MISTAKE...
Please form a list of nonVR companies

It would be great to have all in 1 place companies which do not have VR (and they usually are all USA too).  I can only come up with 2 to start, but please add to the list.  This would certainly help out those who do not wish to take the leap at this time into that kind of technology.  Thanks for adding to the list.


1.  Keystrokes.  Very little VR, lots of straight typing.  No overseas.


2.  SoftScript.  I think all straight typing.  I do believe no overseas.


Please add to the list. It would be a helpful tool for many of us. Sorry I can't think of more, but then again, that is why I am creating this post. Thanks again.


 


I got one too. I turned them DOWN for a job, insurance too expensive. Don't worry, just a form
and I have well over 16 years in this bizz.


OSI true to form: I am ready to quit on the spot

I just got my latest paycheck from OSi and did not get paid the extra 5 cpl holiday pay.  The reason???  With their ridiculous new holiday policy my primary and secondary accounts were out of work, did not have enough work to give me the 1000 minimum line count so therefore I did not get the extra pay for the lines that I did type.  I was required to be stuck at my PC all day and constantly got instant messages from client support to make sure I was there.  This is just sooooooooooo wrong.  I am so fighting mad and feel like quitting right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I need some help ASAP.  Does anybody please know where I could get hired at another company pretty quickly?  I almost don't care where it is because I am desperate.  This is the last straw with OSI and I have had enough.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. 



 


Still have not received 1099 form from previous employer!

Am I not correct that employeers are supposed to send out 1099 forms by the 31st of January?  I quit a company back in May of 2007 and I still have not yet received a form.  I guess I should contact these people?  You would think they would have sent it to me by now!  It's frustrating having to contact old employers because you really do not want to have to be bothered by them anymore!


Just go to MQ board and read, form your opinion from current employees (nm)

If you work for DR they send a form letter to all employees about bonuses.sm
If you work for them and are eligle, they send a form letter out letting everyone know how it was figured.

YEE GADS the old bitty's are out today.
A message delievered in THAT form distracts from the real issue
and makes one doubt her qualifications.
you get a form to put in your name, email, and paste your resume. MTSpot sends it to the recipient

Form an LLC (limited liability corporation) if you are an IC by filing legal paperwork SM
that way no one can sue your personal assets away, only those of your business entity, even if it is only your IC company in your name. This can be done through a lawyer or at companies such as legalzoom. this limits your liability and protects your personal assets. otherwise, they can take away all your assets, including your joint assets of your spouse.
A .wma file is sm
Windows media player and so far as I know, you can't play it with anything other than that. I know that ExpresScribe doesn't play those either.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. I know you would not be testing unless you needed a job and it would be really nice if companies understood that we don't have time to futz endlessly with these things!
you can't file unless sm

The BBB has a file on them
as thick as the Manhattan telephone directory.
Here is the file I saw on the FTP..

Did anyone else get this file when they logged on to the FTP?  Titled Really..


Hon', you really need to get your issues straightened out with respect to giving out the correct usernames/passwords (I've seen two different sets so far), then making sure the promised files are actually there (I'm seeing nothing but empty directory(ies) here).


Sounds like a headache from the get-go for any potential MTs to take on.  (...and, please, get something more professional that toocuteembroidery)


 


WC is for employees. An IC cannot file
a work comp claim.
You can file a complaint with the
distrinct attorney in the city in which they are located and this should put an end to this nonsense.  Rubber checks are illegal all over the country.  Then file a case in small claim court and include ALL expenses you incurred from late charges, etc., as a result of this check 
I don't keep resumes on file, so...
I often get people who send their resume in multiple times in response to different job postings. That being said, if the applicant doesn't have the qualifications listed in the ad, their resume goes straight to the recycle bin without a response.
need a Schedule C to file that on....sm

If they didn't take out taxes and you earned more than $600, you would fill out a Schedule C.  If they took out taxes or if you worked for others who did take out taxes, they'd give you a W2-W4 and you'd fill out a 1040 or 1040A.


HTH (hope that helps)


How do you file a complaint in CA?
Who would you file a complaint with if the company who is not paying is in California? The California Labor Board, Attorney General's office, and Better Business Bureau?
file a complaint with the
Better Business Bureau in your area as well as the area the owner of the MT company lives.  This does not take but a few minutes of your time.  Consider calling the police to ask what can do?  It is illegal to bounce checks........ Good luck!
Save the file...
To say they belonged to MQ would be like saying you can't take your phone numbers out of your cell phone if you decide to change services - or save your bookmarks in IE and use them in Firefox.
When do you file for unemployment?

My job has not had any work for 2 weeks now.  If there is no work, can you file unemployment?  Or do I wait until they let me go and then file?


 


Thanks


Wav file problems
I would first try rebooting your computer to see if that solves the problem. Sometimes it is a simple reboot to fix things. I would then try to play them again and if they still don't work then see if they work in another sound program like Windows Media Player or RealPlayer. What wav player are you using?
I have the file names...
... on my computer. Your mileage may vary. Here are mine:

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataDocQscribeMQ1CacheUser Profiles994888324013user.aco

and

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataDocQscribeMQ1CacheUser Profiles994888324013userdic.tlx

If I'm not mistaken, user.aco is your expansion file, and userdic.tlx includes any entries you may have added to the dictionary during spell-check.

So if you search your entire hard drive for files named user.aco and userdic.tlx, you should be able to see where they are hiding in both installations of DQS, and you can copy the larger files (the one with all your expansions and dictionary entries in them) to the locations where the smaller files reside.

Clear as mud?
test file.....
You need to save it to your desktop or somewhere and then open it using YOUR file player, whatever that might be, Express Scribe or whatever. Right click on the saved file and look for open with
no more voice file test
just a written from what I understand, lots of complaints about the quality of their test files so they 'shelved' it. I'm happy there, takes 2 weeks to get started, I don't think they make you take a physical any more, but still the background check which is almost standard now due to identify theft - - but the supervisor is good, flexibility when you need it. I'm happy, they work for me.
File your tax return based (sm)
on the pay you received and attach a note explaining that the company failed to pay you a portion the pay indicated on the form.
You can file a complaint online at www.bbb.org
