I just copied/pasted
My existing templates into a new document in the facility folder. With each facility you set up you create a template list. I don't think there is a limit on templates, but I may be wrong. There are already some there and I actually just pasted into those and renamed them. I only have a couple per doc though so it didn't take much time.
I have copied and pasted from IRS

guidelines.  If URL does not work, the link is also included so you can paste and copy in your browser. 


If you hire an electrician, a painter, or a roofer (as examples of independent contractors), you do not tell them HOW to do their work or WHEN to do their work.  Just try doing so and see how many contractors you can obtain. 


Today, we have these large companies not only telling us how to do the work for which we have been trained, but when to do the work (specifically, what days of the week and what hours).  Certainly, the quality of the end product must meet the client's approval or the contract can be cancelled.  It cannot be cancelled on the grounds of not working specific days or hours each day to fulfill that contract.  If you sign a contract specifying you will produce 1000 or 1200 or 1600 lines per day and you meet that production, a client (the MTSO) cannot fault you if you produce the agreed upon lines in 4 hours, 6 hours, 3 days, 2 days, etc.  When requiring you to work a specified schedule of x number of hours producinig x number of lines, then it becomes employee-employer status, not one of client-independent contractor status. 


Also note the evalutation system below.  I would saying doing QA in evaluating a contractor's performance is an evaluation system.  Would you?  What about being  put on probation or fined (as some companies are now doing)?  Does that point to employee status?  Can you put a roofing contractor on probabtion or issue a fine?


And...just read the section on training.  An eyeopener for certain. 


Below are the guidelines.  I say we ICs start filling out the misclassified workers form.  If we are treated as employees, then we need tax relief.  If MTSOs provide employee status in some states and not others, AS WELL AS hiring ICs, then an IC cannot be required to adhere to the policies and procedures that their employees are required to adhere, and that includes WHEN the work will be performed and HOW it will be performed.  The guidelines are clear. 


I'm not afraid of broaching this subject for fear jobs will go to a third world country.  They are going there at a rate faster than the speed of lightning anyway, and nothing we as ICs or employees can do will stop it.  They are going there because it is a cheap, cheap way of doing business.

Independent Contractor


The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if (the person for whom the services are performed) has the right to control or direct only the result of the work, and not what will be done and how it will be done or method of accomplishing the result.


People such as lawyers, contractors, subcontractors, public stenographers, and auctioneers who follow an independent trade, business, or profession in which they offer their services to the public, are generally not employees. However, whether such people are employees or independent contractors depends on the facts in each case. The earnings of a person who is working as an independent contractor are subject to Self-Employment (SE) tax.


Evaluation System


If an evaluation system measures the details of how the work is performed, then these factors would point to an employee.


If the evaluation system measures just the end result, then this can point to either an independent contractor or an employee.


Training


If the business provides the worker with training on how to do the job, this indicates that the business wants the job done in a particular way.  This is strong evidence that the worker is an employee. Periodic or on-going training about procedures and methods is even stronger evidence of an employer-employee relationship. However, independent contractors ordinarily use their own methods.


Misclassified Workers Can File Social Security Tax Form
Workers who believe they have been improperly classified as independent contractors by an employer can use Form 8919, Uncollected Social Security and Medicare Tax on Wages to figure and report the employee’s share of uncollected Social Security and Medicare taxes due on their compensation. See the full article Misclassified Workers to File New Social Security Tax Form for more information.


 


 


 


I copied and pasted the reports
into Chartscript.net. I didn't even bother typing the original in Chartscipt, just typed everything in word and then copied over. I also use ShortHand and there were always missing letters in my shortcuts when I plugged them in. I no longer work on CS but am on one that is just about as bad.

We were told not to use the Expander in Chartscript at all and whenever I tried to change/save something in there it would not let me so it was usless anyway. I did have to turn off that expander and remember to turn it back on before pulling in the next template though as you stated.

The only way I have found to accomplish any production at all with the last 3 platforms I have been on is to type in Word then copy over to the platform. And that works until the system totally freezes, or you get kicked off........*sigh*

If companies are going to expect a certain amount of production each day I sure wish they had platforms that would help us accomplish that!
I copied and pasted, hope you do not mind but this is really good (NM)

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case

you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:


My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.


****


How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream.  I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!


well i copied them once
when i went from one company that used DQS to another that used it -- the 2nd company helped me copy the files over. Unfortunately i don't know now how we did it. BUT, i tell you this, so you know it can be done (with the right help). Good luck.
Thank you. I copied (sm)
your instructions.  One thing I forgot about is defrag.  Doing that now.  I already run AVG, but I will check out the others you mention.  Thanks again for taking the time to give detailed instructions.

Its pasted inside. The whole thing, not just the link,
My name is Dr. Zeshan Ahmed. The Domain MTStars.com was registered in my name since it's inception, in 2002. Sheri and Me know each other since 2003, I did help her in developing USAType, Inc. website (which she owned at that time) while I was in Pakistan. On my personal trip to US in Jan 2003, I met Sheri in AZ. She offered me a Job and I accepted it. She arranged my accommodation, etc. and I remained in US working with her (initially as MT and later as Web Developer/Tech for USAType) at USAType, Inc. office for next 5 months. For some odd personal reasons, I came back to Pakistan, May 2003.



EASTER 2003, SHERI and ME

On my way back to home, she offered me to continue working for USAType as work from home employ. I accepted it. Now back to MTStars.com, I had no Credit Card at that time for the yearly renewals of the domain. I asked Sheri about it and she said she will take care of it and kept the domain as solicitor and I came to Pakistan. I started working online, I did work for USAType, Inc., USATasp (Text Platform for MTs/QA, Where the USAType clients were shifted later on), FlashType, FlashCount, MTStars and many other commercial sites. Every single line of Software Code for MTStars is written by me. I did the marketing & software development and she handled the front end. Down the road, Sheri did outsource MT work to a couple of Pakistani MT companies in Karachi and Islamabad and I took care of that as well. She made money and I received regular monthly wire transfers, mainly from the earnings of MTStars.com and partly from other outsourcing MT activities for USAType. We worked together and made USAType & MTStars a success. USAType was her business and MTStars was mine when it came to splitting of income & ownership. She sold the USAType in 2006. Afterwards, She started a voice solution EZ-Voice but that was a failure. I never faced problems because I was receiving money from my site MTStars. No doubt money always going to her bank account from Google AdSense & Pay Pal etc. and then she deducted the server & MTStars marketing expenses etc and sent me the remaining amount. Money was going to her because sponsors etc paying to PayPal account. Paypal is still not available in Pakistan.

In 2006, I got my first Credit Card here in Pakistan and was able to pay for online transactions. I opened the account with GoDaddy and asked Sheri to shift the MTStars.com domain in my account. As banking rules are getting strict for money transfers from US to Pakistan everyday. I need to show authorities here, from where this money is coming from. I have to file my taxes etc. as well.

Finally, the domain was shifted to my account in August, 2007. She did it herself, with her own consent and there was no hijacking or cyber squatting etc. involved in this process. The rest of it can be verified from GoDaddy as they keep track of each transfer IPs etc. Just want to make my point here that the domain was never stolen, hijacked or transferred illegally (Otherwise, she would have taken it back by now). It came back to real owner after 5 years in August, 2007. Even after the domain transfer the money went to her as usual, but my share was diminishing everyday. She owed me $7000 in October, 2007, when I sold the domain (for $7000) to one of my friends with a promise that the domain will be sold back to me by Feb1st, 2008 and I will return his money and in the meantime, Sheri and me will keep running the site. Sheri knew everything and was involved in all this process. She promised that all of my debts will be cleared by that time and MTStars would be back with us. But money never arrived and as per promise, the new owner was free to sell it on Feb 1st. Neither me nor Sheri own this domain anymore. It has been sold and re-sold.

I have been requested by all the concerned parties to make my statement to keep the records clear. Sheri was more like a mother to me for last 5 years and I still respect her. I have no personal grudges or agendas against her. Me and She was the part of all this process and knew everyday happenings regarding the domain. The best we can say now is good luck to new owners.

P.S: Every single line above is true. I have all the documentary evidence (those who are interested, I can email them the scanned copies), 5 years bank statements showing wire transfers from Sheri's account, money grams, MT houses worked for USAType, employment letter & independent contractor agreements. Most of these documents even lie with US consulate in Pakistan, when I applied for US visa this year and I had to show my purpose/funds for visit etc.

Inside is a page I just copied with directions for

In Windows, how do I check my computer's IP address or physical (aka MAC) address?


Windows NT, 2000, and XP


To see what IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask your computer is using:



  1. Click the Start button and select All Programs (XP) or Programs (NT and 2000).


  2. Select Accessories, then Command Prompt (2000 and XP), or Command Prompt (NT).


  3. At the command prompt, enter: ipconfig
  4. To close the command prompt, enter: exit

For other IP information on Windows, including the physical address, at the command prompt, enter:

ipconfig /all | more

This will give you information regarding your computer's TCP/IP setup, including:



Host name
DNS servers
Physical address
IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
WINS servers


The IP address will be a series of numbers following the pattern xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, 156.56.27.32.


The physical address, which many people call the MAC address, will be a series of six hexadecimal number pairs following the pattern xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, for example, 00-40-A4-F3-C0-01.


Note: If you have more than one active network adapter, you will see multiple entries here. Many laptop users nowadays have at least two adapters: one for the regular Ethernet adapter, and one for the wireless 802.11b or 802.11g card. Some computers will have three entries or more (for example, for either an infrared or a Bluetooth adapter). Sometimes it's easy to distinguish between the two (for example, one of them will say "wireless" next to "Description:"), but other times it's not (the description will give only a manufacturer and model). You may have to consult the manufacturer's documentation for your computer to tell which section of the ipconfig/all | more output refers to which network adapter.


Windows XP, without using the command prompt


Alternatively, in Windows XP, if you want to find this information and want to stay within the graphic user interface, or for any reason do not want to use DOS commands, you can find this information by doing the following:



  1. Right-click the My Network Places icon, and then select Properties.


  2. Double-click the Local Area Connection icon. Occasionally, there will be a number on the end (e.g., Local Area Connection 2); it depends on your computer's configuration. If you are looking for the MAC address for a wireless adapter, the icon will normally be named Wireless Network Connection.


  3. Click the Support tab.


  4. Click the Details... button.

The physical address (MAC address) and IP address will be listed in the window that appears.


Windows 95, 98, and Me


To check your computer's IP address or physical address, follow the steps below:



  1. Click the Start button and select Run... .


  2. Type winipcfg and click OK.


  3. From the drop-down menu, select the adapter being used for your connection:



    • Select PPP Adapter if you're dialing in.

    • Select the Ethernet adapter if you're connected to a LAN or a broadband connection.

    • Select the wireless adapter if you're connected via wireless.

The IP address will appear in its labeled field. The MAC address will appear in a field labeled Adapter Address.


Alternatively, you may follow these steps:



  1. Click the Start button and select Settings, then Control Panel.


  2. Double-click Network. Select TCP/IP, then click Properties.

The IP address appears under the IP Address page tab.


Note: If you are using Dial-up Networking (i.e., PPP) or DHCP (campus housing at Indiana University Bloomington uses DHCP), the IP address is dynamically assigned by the terminal server, and Obtain an IP address automatically should be selected.


Note: You can use the Get Connected web site to register your Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home, Windows Vista, or Mac OS X (10.3 and later) computer to use the IU network in campus housing. Computers running Windows 2000 or Linux, as well as game consoles, must be manually registered. For help, contact the UITS Support Center at IUB by calling 812-855-6789 or at IUPUI by calling 317-274-4357. You cannot register Windows 95, 98, or Me on the IU network in campus housing.

Excellent post! I copied this post and...
am going to show it to my shrink so he can understand my frustration with my new "profession!" By the way, how much you wanna bet he pulls in 300$ an hour and has two years of schooling on me! Hmmmmmmm. Okay, you flamers, don't tell me to go back to school...I am thinking about it. Hmmmm
