Question.....I am part-time without benefits... - none

so, I am statutory? My job status is part-time. Is there somewhere to look to be sure? If so thanks, if not, okay too.

maybe - because

Maybe because statutory can't draw unemployment when they run out of work.

Statutory employee - Darkhorse

The law defines four types of statutory employees. The first type is a driver who delivers certain food products, or picks up and delivers laundry and dry cleaning on behalf of one company. The second is a full-time insurance agent whose main business is selling life insurance products for one particular company. The third is a person who works at home assembling products for a company using materials and instructions supplied by that company. The fourth is a full-time salesperson whose main business is soliciting orders for a company from other businesses.

Three conditions also must apply for people to be statutory employees. First, their arrangement with the company must require them to do all the work, not have the work done by people they hire. Second, they don't own the equipment or materials they use for the job. Third, they do the work on a "continuing basis" for the same company. If all three apply, the company must pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for them. If they are drivers or salespeople, the company must also pay unemployment-insurance taxes for them, but not if they are insurance agents or home assembly workers.

So they get employees without paying employer taxes? - nm

When I was statutory elsewhere in the past, they matched FICA. - sm

They didn't withhold federal or state, though, I was responsible for that like an independent contractor. As an SE, I liked having a little more autonomy than as an employee and being able to file for schedule C deductions like an IC. (Not that there would be any autonomy here as an SE. Probably just a way to get still scheduled employee work yet not have to pay benefits.)

See link for some statutory info from this board.

OMG - So now MM has figured out how to dodge - unemployment insurance too? (NM)

can you believe this? - ICs are back

[ In Reply To ..]
years ago MM insisted everyone become an employee. How many of you were here for that? Remember how angry everyone was? but nooooo MM insisted, everyone must be an employee. And now, with no announcement in any V-mail, mind you, they sneak behind our backs and start looking for ICs again. And Monday through Friday to boot. Despicable. Guess they decided our insurance premiums were too much for them to handle after all.

in a word? - yes

I worked for MQ full time and then went to part time last year, before finally quitting altogether because of health problems. I seem to remember an obscure policy that if you were full time and then went to part time, you could not go back to full time for a period of at least 1 year. Can anyone verify that for me? IF, and this is a big IF, I were to go back to work for MQ, I would need to be full time. ...

Does anyone care to share that if you are hired at optiscript part time will they let you change to full time easily? I know they are a small company and do not over hire so I do not know how easily this could be done.

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated :) ...

I am still debating whether to enroll at Andrews or M-TEC. My husband is retiring in 2 years and I want to be able to work part-time after that.

I would want to be able to work from home. I guess the other question is "How long after graduating could I expect to earn enough to make it worth the investment, in a reas ...

For those who went full time to part-time with MQ (because you got another job)...how did that work? Did they approve the schedule you wanted, or did they make you take a schedule?

I may be doing two part-time jobs to start and I am trying to figure out how to do my scheduling around both jobs. Does a ...

I'm getting frustrated about finding a part-time job. I've done so many interviews, I'm blue in the face. They all want to start at such a low cpl that I just can't do it.

I'm wondering if that would supplement my income any better. The only problem I have is I hate going door-to-do ...

I'm considering dropping to part-time. I checked out the MQ Central for the specs and it indicates 24 hours/0.03 PTO per 48 hr pay period/1.37 hours for a max of 5 days/40 hours yearly. My CCM said if I happened to work 39 hours in a week, I'd get more PTO accumulated during that time. She said there are PT folks who get just as much PTO as the FT do. I didn't see anything like that mentioned in the PTO section on MQ Central. ...

I was talking to my CCM last week and she said the facilities just let them know they do not need them anymore, just like that. They go with their own VR.
