Transcend statutory status

Is anyone a statutory employee with Nuance? I was under the impression that I was an employee. I was sure we were told there would be no SE status available. However, I recently noticed on my pay stub that it says statutory. Does this benefit me or is it going to bite me? I have not paid self-employment tax for quite some time. I was told I was an employee, so I assumed all employment taxes were being paid. ...

I keep trying to find something definitive that spells out the differences between the two, but it all seems so vague or, at least, different companies seem to treat each differently. Specifically, since my company recently converted everyone over to statutory status, can they require the employees to set and maintain a strict schedule as they had when they were full-time regular employees, or should/do the statutory employees have more leeway in that regard, more along the lines of an IC? ...

I'm seeing more and more job postings for statutory employee status. I'm trying to figure out what an appropriate line rate request equivalent would be since I would be responsible for withholding income taxes. For example if the traditional employee line rate is 8 cpl for transcription what would I need to request for statutory status? The same or more? ...

I'm a newbie at Transcend and find I like it more than expected based on board comments. I am also new to VR - and also find that I like that too! My question is this, for any long-time Transcenders...I am nowhere near making the minimum $$ amount required for full-time status, which I was hired at. What happens after the 90 day trial period - Do you think I would be let go?? I would like to just be considered part-time at that point. ...

I haven't been to the boards for quite a while, but I was just googling to find out a current phone number for Transcend to put on a resume, and I saw about the lawsuit. What's going on with this? Does anyone know? ...

Could someone explain exactly what a company can require of an SE? Can companies force MTs to adhere to a schedule if all MTs are statutory employees?

Can someone please explain the difference between an IC and a statutory employee, I have looked it up and am not clear. I understand that statutory employees get social security taken out, when ICs get nothing taken out, but what are the other differences? Thanks. ...

I have been working as an IC for a while, but used to work as a SE where some taxes were taken out of my check and matched. The self-employment taxes are killing me! My federal income tax is minimal (have great deductions/credits while my kid is still little, but that isn't going to last forever). Has statutory employee gone the way of the dinosaur in MT? It seems that I don't see any ads listing SE as an option. I'm not looking to change MTSOs or get names of s ...

Wow... ad on another site says part-time mon-fri shifts available 30 hours.... I wonder why they are hiring statutory now? ...

I need flexibility because I home school. ...

I was one of the people originally with MDI who was sold to Transcend who was sold to Nuance. With MDI, we were statutory employees. When sold to Transcend, we were told repeatedly and often that statutory employee would no longer exist, that we were straight employees. Same with Nuance. Yet my pay stubs say statutory employee and zero federal tax was withheld all year; however, the statutory employee box on the W2 is not checked. So what does this mean? How is it legal to be told we are straig ...

no other benefits, let me determine how many lines I will do and what days, and leave me the heck alone? I miss MDI-MD. :( ...

I noticed I had 19 hours of PTO, had this amount for the past couple of weeks. After this last payday, it's still the same 19 hours. I thought they added our PTO every PP? At least they did in the past, I'd always see approximately 6 hours added every PP. Is this yet something ELSE they are ripping us off for? ...

What "really" happened to IC status? How did we turn into employees without benfits? I recall when IC was REALLY IC. I took a break and things had changed pretty drastically! We now are required to basically do "shift work," which I understand to a point, but it sure isn't the way it was!! I recall getting paid more because we did not get benefits, more for fast speakers and ESL--what happened to that? I personally just dropped out for awhile, and a new ...

For anyone who has changed from full-time to part-time status, have you still been able to get time off when needed, and what exactly is meant by flexible part time (flexible for whom)? With all the recent changes, I am finding it necessary to begin heading in another direction. ...

I've worked for an MTSO for about nine years. Work is scarce, and I need to find another part-time job or maybe just leave and work full time. I don't know anything about IC. I see things like you are required to do your own taxes and can work the flexibility of what you want as long as you get the TAT. I know insurance is not covered in these positions. But how do you handle time off for vacations or personal days? Do you go on vacation and then com ...
