It is a bit complicated. sm

In Reply to: Correct: If you are an IC, you are not entitled to unemployment - benefits/protection.

They pulled my pay from me---lowered it to their beginning level and I just feel that is why they are trying to get rid of me.  So why don't they just fire me?  They took away one particular job type, which is something I do for another company all day long.  So it was a bogus reason.  Truthfully I think they are trying to cut corners money-wise but I sit and wonder sometimes if they want me to quit.  Just don't know but thanks for the information.

It's not complicated at all....
Down here in Mobile Alabama, we make Princess cake all the time. All ya do is go to Winn Dixie or Piggly Wigly and get an angel food cake. Bring it home, upwrap it, set it on a plate, and get one of those plastic tiaras you get at you local dollar store for 25 cents and set it atop.  Viola!  You got real, live, princess cake! 
Do you know the song, Complicated?
Hope this works ----
Both are complicated and have their own languaged. sm
If you are good MT and have reference materials, neither are very difficult.
It's actually a very complicated question. sm
Most places I have been an employee, they expect you to work the full time, whatever it is. Since you are usually not hourly, the only benefit to working extra lines above required is the extra money you make. I think some places have tiers that raise your line rate or give a bonus for above a certain amount. For myself, I have found that if I must work 8 hours, I have to slow down because I wear out. I actually produce as much in 6 as I do in 8.

Does anyone else have another explanation?
If when you say "less complicated" you mean easier...
Derm. 
YES, if the pregnancy or delivery was complicated...nm

Worker's Comp can be so complicated, and documentation is everything.....
The other complicated issue with this situation is the fact that many physicians are no longer taking on Worker's Comp cases, in new or well established patients, because of the complicated criteria for correct documentation and the long wait on overdue payment from BWC. In my area, several physicians have thrown in the towel with WC cases and no longer handle them. The patients are referred to Occupational Health Services in most cases, or told to go to Fast Track (ER service) for immediate treatment and documentation that is relevant to the injury. It is good if your family physician does accept WC cases. It is also good that he has decided to return the money to his employer and return to the doctor's office and treat the injury as it is, as a work related injury. In a situation like this, Documentation is everything, so the sooner he gets back to the doctor- the Better! Hope all goes well for him.
thanks so much! i felt dumb, LOL. Definitely sounds complicated, but will be trying out how many l

These sites look great, didn't realize how complicated.

I totally agree. Operative notes are more complicated and should be
paid at a higher rate. I know it takes me longer to do them because so many different surgical pieces of equipment can be used etc.  Anatomy has never been a problem but mainly the different surgical equipment items. I would love to find a job that offered me more. I just dont know where they are.  
Is the em dat (?) program user friendly - can you make lines - complicated to learn?nm
