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.

But how do you handle time off for vacations or personal days? Do you go on vacation and then com ...
I have just started a new job as an IC. I have been an employee and statutory employee but never IC. I know I pay quarterly taxes and have had them set up by my accountant.

Can anyone give me the link to this site? Thanks very much! ...
I have 2 accounts, who only dictate once a month. I work for someone who has lost a lot of their work, and so I can't count on them as before. I have 1 other account where I could work until my fingers fall off, but I am concerned about IC status. If I keep these small accounts and maximize working for the the larger one, would I still be considered an IC? How many clients do you need in order to maintain IC status? Does the IRS care if they don't produce enough income to give me a 109 ...

I am puzzled by the posts of companies on this website seeking independent contractors, and then proceed to dictate the hours and days they need you to work. Please help me understand, if you are not an employee, and function as a dedicated, disciplined worker and opt for IC status, shouldn't you be able to dictate your own schedule? Again, someone please help me to understand. ...

Thank you ...
