IC v employee Part 2 - IC MT
Posted: Feb 29, 2012
As noted below in this discussion, it's been pointed out working a schedule does NOT necessarily make you an employee.
If you receive less extensive instructions about
what should be done, but not how it should be
done, you may be an independent contractor.
For instance, instructions about time and place
may be less important than directions on how the
work is performed.

If you receive less extensive instructions about what should be done, but not how it should be done, you may be an independent contractor. For instance, instructions about time and place may be less important than directions on how the work is performed.
There are a many misclassified contractors, but if your beef is because they said work 8-5, you're not going to have much luck.

Is there a starting pay or is everyone paid differently? 2. Is there a schedule or is it flexible? 3. What kind of benefi ...

Which Is Better, Employee Or IC?
Dec 16, 2014
I am a part time employee of an MTSO. In California the min wage is $9/hr, which means at 0.85/line for editing my LPH must add up to $9, while MTs in other states may only have to make $7.50 or so to remain employed. My Team Leader said that is somewhat unfortunate for me; as a 1 year out-of-school newbie I'm not as fast as other MTs. A few years ago I was an IC and I recall they did have a minimum line count per day but I don't recall having to produce more than ...

Statuatory Employee
Apr 27, 2010
Curious to know if anyone on this board is a statuatory employee with the company they are working for and outside of the company paying your SS tax and FWT, do you get any type of benefit, i.e., PTO, health, etc. Is it strictly just for tax purposes? Would you get a W2? Do you have to adhere to a schedule? I was a "stat" employee many years ago, when I first started and don't remember if it was just for the tax thing or if I got any benefit/s also. Thanks for any info. ...

IC Versus Employee
May 14, 2011
This post is not what you probably thought it was going to be. I am not going to list the pros and cons of being an IC or am employee. It appears that MTSOs are "fudging" on these two classifications of workers to get the advantages. For example, as an IC you make your own hours. There is no schedule; that is the nature of being an IC. Yet these MTSOs want you to work a set schedule. Another example: You are hired as an employee. Because you're an employee, you shoul ...
