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.
Does MQ have STATUTORY EMPLOYEEs anymore under new plan????
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.
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.
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.
What companies other than MQ hire statutory employees and are they hiring now.
:
Yeah, I got that one in the email this morning, too.
How long have you been with Guru? Any good leads from it? I was signed up there years ago when they first opened up, but I deleted my profile. I just signed up again yesterday, but it's rather a joke. I found 25 jobs I was qualified for, but Guru wouldn't let me because my skills didn't match. How would they know when they only let me select 5 skills without paying the membership? I'm not paying for something that I don't know will work.
Got this in my email this morning, thought I would share--sm
Rev. John Powell, a professor at Loyola University in Chicago writes
about Tommy, a student in his Theology of Faith class.
>
> Some twelve years ago, I stood watching my university
students file into the classroom for our first session in the Theology
of Faith. That was the day I first saw Tommy.
>
>
> My eyes and my mind both blinked. He was combing his long flaxen
hair, which hung six inches below his shoulders. It was the first time I
had ever seen a boy with hair that long. I guess it was just coming into
fashion then.
>
> I know in my mind that it isn't what's on your head but what's in
it that counts; but on that day, I was unprepared and my emotions
flipped. I immediately filed Tommy under "S" for strange... very
strange.
>
> Tommy turned out to be the "atheist in residence" in my Theology
of Faith course. He constantly objected to, smirked at, or whined about
the possibility of an unconditionally loving Father/God.
>
> We lived with each other in relative peace for one semester,
although I admit he was for me at times a serious pain in the back pew.
>
> When he came up at the end of the course to turn in his final
exam, he asked in a cynical tone, "Do you think I'll ever find God?"
>
> I decided instantly on a little shock therapy. "No," I said very
emphatically.
>
> "Why not?" he responded. "I thought that was the product you were
pushing."
>
> I let him get five steps from the classroom door and then called
out, "Tommy I don't think you'll ever find Him, but I am absolutely
certain that He will find you."
>
> He shrugged a little and left my class and my life.
>
> I felt slightly disappointed at the thought that he had missed my
clever line: "He will find you" At least I thought it was clever.
>
> Later, I heard that Tommy had graduated and I was duly grateful.
>
> Then a sad report came. I heard that Tommy had terminal cancer.
>
> Before I could search him out, he came to see me. When he walked
into my office, his body was very badly wasted and the long hair had all
fallen out as a result of chemotherapy. But his eyes were bright and his
voice was firm, for the first time, I believe.
>
> "Tommy, I've thought about you so often. I hear you are sick," I
blurted out.
>
> "Oh, yes, very sick. I have cancer in both lungs. It's a matter of
weeks."
>
> "Can you talk about it, Tom?" I asked.
>
> "Sure, what would you like to know?" he replied.
>
> "What's it like to be only twenty-four and dying?" I asked.
>
> "Well, it could be worse," he replied.
>
> "Like what?" I asked.
>
> "Well, like being fifty and having no values or ideals; like being
fifty and thinking that booze, seducing women, and making money are the
real biggies' in life," he replied.
>
> I began to look through my mental file cabinet under 'S' where I
had filed Tommy as strange. (It seems as though everybody I try to
reject by classification, God sends back into my life to educate me.)
>
> "But what I really came to see you about," Tom said, "is something
you said to me on the last day of class." (He remembered.) He continued,
"I asked you if you thought I would ever find God and you said 'No',
which surprised me. Then you said, 'But He will find you.' I thought
about that a lot, even though my search for God was hardly intense at
that time."
>
> (My clever line. He thought about that a lot.)
>
> "But when the doctors removed a lump from my groin and told me
that it was malignant, that's when I got serious about locating God.
>
> And when the malignancy spread into my vital organs, I really
began banging bloody fists against the bronze doors of heaven. But God
did not come out. In fact, nothing happened.
>
> "Did you ever try anything for a long time with great effort and
with no success? You get psychologically glutted, fed up with trying.
And then you quit.
>
> "Well, one day I woke up, and instead of throwing a few more
futile appeals over that high brick wall to a God who may be or may not
be there, I just quit. I decided that I didn't really care about God,
about an after life, or anything like that. I decided to spend what time
I had left doing something more profitable.
>
> "I thought about you and your class and I remembered something
else you had said: 'The essential sadness is to go through life without
loving. But it would be almost equally sad to go through life and leave
this world without ever telling those you loved that you had loved
them..'
>
> "So, I began with the hardest one, my Dad. He was reading the
newspaper when I approached him.
>
> "Dad."
>
> "Yes, what?" he asked without lowering the newspaper.
>
> "Dad, I would like to talk with you."
>
> "Well, talk."
>
> "I mean... it's really important."
>
> The newspaper came down three slow inches.
>
> "What is it?"
>
> "Dad, I love you. I just wanted you to know that."
>
> Tom smiled at me and said it with obvious satisfaction, as though
he felt a warm and secret joy flowing inside of him.
>
> "The newspaper fluttered to the floor. Then my father did two
things I could never remember him ever doing before. He cried and he
hugged me. We talked all night, even though he had to go to work the
next morning. It felt so good to be close to my father, to see his
tears, to feel his hug, to hear him say that he loved me.
>
> "It was easier with my mother and little brother. They cried with
me, too, and we hugged each other, and started saying real nice things
to each other. We shared the things we had been keeping secret for so
many years. I was only sorry about one thing, that I had waited so
long.. Here I was, just beginning to open up to all the people I had
actually been close to.
>
> "Then, one day I turned around and God was there. He didn't come
to me when I pleaded with Him. I guess I was like an animal trainer
holding out a hoop: 'C'mon, jump through. C'mon, I'll give You three
days, three weeks.'
>
> "Apparently God does things in His own way and at His own hour..
But the important thing is that He was there. He found me. You were
right. He found me even after I stopped looking for Him."
>
> "Tommy," I practically gasped, "I think you are saying something
very important and much more universal than you realize. To me, at
least, you are saying that the surest way to find God is not to make Him
a private possession, a problem solver, or an instant consolation in
time of need, but rather by opening to love. You know, the Apostle John
said that. He said: 'God is love, and anyone who lives in love is living
with God and God is living in him.'
>
> "Tom, could I ask you a favor? You know, when I had you in class
you were a real pain. But (laughingly) you can make it all up to me now.
Would you come into my present Theology of Faith course and tell them
what you have just told me? If I told them the same thing it wouldn't be
half as effective as if you were to tell it."
>
> "Oh, I was ready for you, but I don't know if I'm ready for your
class."
>
> "Tom, think about it. If and when you are ready, give me a call."
>
> In a few days, Tom called, said he was ready for the class, that
he wanted to do that for God and for me. So we scheduled a date.
However, he never made it.
>
> He had another appointment, far more important than the one with
me and my class. Of course, his life was not really ended by his death,
only changed He made the great step from faith into vision. He found a
life far more beautiful than the eye of man has ever seen or the ear of
man has ever heard or the mind of man has ever imagined.
>
> Before he died, we talked one last time. "I'm not going to make it
to your class," he said.
>
> "I know, Tom."
>
> "Will you tell them for me? Will you tell the whole world for me?"
>
> "I will, Tom. I'll tell them. I'll do my best."
>
> So, to all of you who have been kind enough to read this simple
story about God's love, thank you for listening. And to you, Tommy,
somewhere in the sunlit, verdant hills of heaven... I told them, Tommy,
as best I could.

> If this story means anything to you, please pass it on to a friend
or two. It is a true story and is not enhanced for publicity purposes.

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....
If you are having any problems validating your email addy, please email support@mtstars.com

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
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.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

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!
Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY
e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place. The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you. If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone. The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.
It does not mention statutory anything in my letter dated 9/2/05.
I see "newly defined FT employee classification w/flexible...
I see New Part-Time employee classification w/flexible ...
I see Opportunity for PTO for part-time employees and increased PTO of up to ....
but I don't see nuttin about STATUTORY EMPLOYEES.......Statutory is not part-time
I only work part time statutory and
full time with another company, I have a little bit extra withheld from my FT job each paycheck. I try to save 30% of my SE job pay to have on hand when tax time comes, even though I don't need that much, it covers me for everything plus after tax time I still have money in savings. It does depend a lot on your life though, what deductions you have, what tax bracket, etc. I am single with no kids, so I wind up in a higher tax bracket, therefore feel comfortable only when I save more.
What are the benefits of working as a statutory employee?

Statutory Employee vs. Independent contractor
I work for company "A" as an IC. I work on Dictaphone ichart platform. I make 9 cents a line. Good accounts. Good managers. I have been offered a job as a statutory employee with company B, still on dictaphone, still 9 cents a line. Is justifiable to make a lateral move to company B just for the sake of being an employee? Tell me pros and cons please! Thank you!
too many variants. are you employee or statutory? what office? what reports?
not my office. you have to work so many weekend hours per pay period but you can choose the hours.
Question about SS - I am statutory employee and my employer withholds 7.5% for Social Securty - sm
I have only been a statutory employee for a couple of months (I was an employee with benefits with my prior company). My employer withholds 7.5% or "half" of the Social Security/Medicare 15% and I was told that will need to pay the other 7.5%. How does that work? Thanks in advance!
Can a statutory employee draw unemployment if terminated from job due to restructuring of company?

tried to email, invalid poster or email it said nm

San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm
who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.

Yes, they have a lot of employees
