Professional Liability Insurance for Business Associate/ Independent Contractor

I spent a lot of time looking for an insurance company that will not charge me an arm and a leg to be insured as a Business Associate (formerly IC). I paid $400 a year, which is not bad considering the other choices. I just want to share to those of you that need to be insured. http://www.myvirtualstore.yolasite.com/professional-liability-insurance.php ...

I have been offered a job as IC/Business Associate. Now that I have looked into the HIPPA ruling this make me nervous as I can now be held liable even with fines up to $25,000 and even stiffer penalties. I barely make it now from payday to payday.

The company is willing to train me in VR but when I read all the ...

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 ...

Is there a website that offers HIPAA training for Business Associates for free? I work as a subcontractor for iMedX, and we're required to show proof of annual training.

I recently got a reply on a job as an IC for a company but in order to work for them I have to have an EIN. How do I get one and how do I figure out my taxes and all the stuff that goes with it? ...

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 ...

A company is looking for ICs and says you must fill out pre-qualifying form. In it they ask for specific time of each day you can work. As I understand independent contracting, you get job, are given TAT and determine when you will do it. Can a company ask for set hours and still be calling their people independent contractors? Thanks for any answers. ...

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 know from experience that doing this seriously cuts into My Line Count and MY PAY. I w ...
