As an IC, you treat each voice file as a job that you decide to take or not on a daily basis. Any MTSO requiring a shift is fraudulent. They can't have it both ways. If they have work that requires an MT work a certain shift, then they need to hire employees.
As an IC, I have a right to take or not take work on any particular day, which in fact I do on a daily basis with a company that knows THE TRUE MEANING of IC.
Many MTs are accepting IC jobs and making it their full-time job (as if they are an employee/but have no benefits) and then claiming there is no work. As an IC the MTSO does not have to provide work to you. As an employee, the MTSO must provide the work or pay you downtime as an employee.
An IC is abused in this field on a daily basis.
Did you know that most ICs work for more than one vendor? Most ICs do not put all of their eggs in one basket, which is why it is wrong for an MTSO to require "full-time" hours for an IC when in fact an IC names their own hours.
Sorry to stomp on your toes here, but I can already tell you are an MTSO that likes to abuse ICs. |
