Look it up in the state the company is located. sm
You should be able to download a form or they'll send you one.

Anyone know where (what state) ROI is located??
Rapid Outsource imaging.  Anything else about the company...pay, platform, would be great!

In what state is the facility located?

If company is in state that has no state taxes
they are not required to take out state taxes.  It's enough to keep up with your own state tax law code, could you imagine having to stay abreast of 49 other state tax codes?  The cost would be huge and ultimately passed on to us by lower line rates.  Regardless of who owes the tax, someone has to pay it.  Just a matter of convenience I guess. 
Is this company located in NYC???
If it is, I'm very surprised by this. A few years ago they were quite reputable.

Is Caretech a company located in Michigan by any chance. nm

I am not an IC, but my company is in a state that
doesn't have state tax and therefore they don't pay any state tax.  I just have extra $$ taken out of DH check to cover me.   The first year I underestimated and got a penalty of about $55 for underpaying, but after that I've gotten a little back, so we finally found the balance.

Can you state the company.....sm
It would help others maybe avoid this person/company?
Can you tell me the state this other company in?
NM
Yes it is, but they didn't state the name of the company
.
can you tell us which state or company? Are you an employee or IC? sm
I know that a certain company in NY was investigated a few years back because of treating ICs like employees.

I hope it is not the company I work for as I am finally happy after being miserable for the last 3 years and 50 jobs.
Anyone who works for a FL company, pls see FL state board. Thanks. NM

If your company is never out of work or always back-logged, can you state the name? Thx. nm

I'm like to know the answer to her post also. I have worked for an MT company in NY state,
and while I lived in another state at that time, I received full benefits; Ic or employee status had no bearing on receiving benefits.  If I were the original poster, I would check this company out very thoroughly. Something just doesn't sound right tax-wise.

Without Naming Company, Does anyone know cost of COBRA for out-of-state employees?

I work for a company in Florida too who gladly pays state taxes because
they know it is the law.
Unless something has changed, health insurance rates vary state by state, so we may not have the
info you need.  I'm an IC so I don't have benefits.
You are correct. The state that rules is the state the employee lives in.
My state laws has is spelled out in their Code. If another state does not withhold, they are fined heavily and if they don't withhold for years, their fines are pretty bad. I worked for a Florida co that did not withhold income tax for my state even after I brought it to their attention in the state code. They kept saying that they would eventually and never did. After two plus years and when I left, I made it known to my state all the conversations, the state refunded me all late fees they charged me and then said they were going after the company in Florida because they had many employees in our state. They deserved it. They knew better.
Not state by state, federal labor law - sm
and you don't have to be asked. If you work it, asked or not, they have to pay time and a half OT rate for hours worked over 40 in a week.

Taken right from U.S. Dept of Labor -
An employer who requires or PERMITS an employee to work overtime is generally required to pay the employee premium pay for such overtime work. Employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)MUST receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek of at least one and one-half times their regular rates of pay. The FLSA does not require overtime pay for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest.

Extra pay for working weekends or nights is a matter of agreement between the employer and the employee (or the employee's representative). The FLSA does not require extra pay for weekend or night work or double time pay.

Different state to state. You would be surprised to find

IC can be defined differently state to state.  Even the IRS cannot come up with a definitive set of rules.  You would be surprised how many ICs actually get unemployment in some states.  If the unemployment claim form asks specifically if you are an independent contractor, do not lie, but if it does not, do not volunteer it.  Let the company prove you are a true IC according to the rules of your state.  All you lose is a few minutes filling out the claim form.  I would only do it as a last resort.  If you can find work fast, by all means go for it, but the way things are now with all the VR and off-shoring, it is a backup if you cannot find work.  No one should go hungry because they are afraid to file for Unemployment as an IC. 


 


They should take out state taxes for the state
nm
It varies from state to state
nm
Varies from state to state
My own state recognizes partial unemployment, too, when your work gets cut down to half of your regular workload/income.
They must deduct FEDERAL taxes.. NOT STATE taxes.. if they took out state taxes.. it would be FLORID
which would only have to be refunded to you for you to pay YOUR state what you owe them which is nothing but a pain... be glad they weren't handling your state tax.. and I think in this case.. if someone at the IRS told you they have to deduct YOUR states taxes.. it is that person who is uneducated... they only have to deduce federal income tax

There was an article about how "wonderful" this company is in the Baltimore Business Journal earlier this year. Wonderful, my hiney!! The checks bounce, they are an Indian-owned company, the work is beyond horrible. They also have a couple of American companies that they use as a backdoor, and use an American as the representative front person.
They are located in Ohio....sm
An offshoot of one of the major health systems here in the Akron area. Were just recently started and are trying to get their feet wet in the national arena. Primarily were doing nothing but local work just a few months ago and very disorganized at the time. Don't know what they're like now. Benefits seemed good, comparable, but were just getting started. Originally wanted 150 lph with 98% quality and a rather harsh grading scale. For instance, medical word misuse was minus 5 percentage points, omitted (consequential) dictation minus 5 points, medical misspelling minus 3 points, and so on.... Hope this helps!
