Independent contractor questionMT

I am so tired of these companies hiring for an IC position and then when you are not at your keyboard johnny on the spot at 11 a.m. every day to start your day and sometimes start at 12 p.m. or 12:30 p.m., they are calling your cell, sending threatening E-mails. They never stipulated in their contract that if you say, per se, you are going to work 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and you start a little later, say 12 p.m. and work until the work is completed still getting getting the work completed well w ...

I was thinking of applying for an IC job until I saw this (and much more, but this did it for me). If you have been offered an independent contractor position it is very important that you calculate the ultimate cost to you as a taxpayer to see if the salary being offered is worth the time and effort. For example, if you are being offered $15 an hour as an independent contractor and $12 an hour as a payroll employee, you may initially be tempted by the fact that your "take home" pay will be ...

PS: I have been an MT for over 20 years so not new to the scene but always figured employee status was better. ...

Yes, I fell for DIT's reassurances that their financial troubles were all in the past too. I worked diligently for two months only to be met with silence when I asked which days they mail paychecks out. It's been two weeks now, and I haven't heard a thing. To those of you who are staying loyal to these people: Please, please, please don't. They don't deserve it. For over a year, they have been preying on new MTs who are desperate for a job. This is NOT ...

Hello. I just got a new job, and for the first time, I will be an independent contractor. I am unfamiliar with this. I know they will not take taxes out. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how I do this. Should I consult a tax person? Is there a way I can figure out what to hold out on my own? Can I pay the IRS quarterly those figures so I don't have to pay it all at the end of the year? Do I need any kind of license? This is a part-time position at home, ...

I am looking for some clarification on the definition, as per the IRS website, of an "independent contractor." With the majority of companies now hiring MTs as IC's, does this definition apply ? "You are not an independent contractor if you perform services that can be controlled by an employer (what will be done and how it will be done). This applies even if you are given freedom of action. What matters is that the employer has the legal right to control the details of how the servi ...

BEWARE AND BE SURE you are truly an Independent contractor. This info is available on the IRS.GOV website (type Independent contractor in the SEARCH box and then click on IC defined). I was going to work for a company who later informed me that i would be REQUIRED to look up patient information that was not dictated by going to a different website and searching thru the paperwork looking for the information. I know from experience that doing this seriously cuts into My Line Count and MY PAY. I w ...

I have been doing IC work for almost a year now and up until now the work has been plentiful even though its pooled, however, recently I noticed that I keep running out of work.

I am thinking about pursuing a job as an independent contractor as I am retired and want something to do more than the money (retired hospital transcriptionist). It is my understanding that an IC must have flexible schedule to qualify for IC status, yet the job ads specify second and third shift as well as weekend days. Can they do this? I know the government is cracking down on ICs to make sure they are truly ICs (we all know the transcription companies will do everything to preserve their bo ...

I've just started working as an independent contractor and I was wondering if an IC can work more than 40 hrs. a week, since not working as an employee. This is all new to me. I've always worked as an employee before. I just couldn't handle the VR anymore. It's a joke and decided it was time to "just say no!" The big boys came up with it and they can deal with it. Not going to ruin my health (body and mind) anymore for minimum wage! That being said, I'm very willin ...
