Can anyone tell me about unemployment after Spheris buy out? - SpheristodayMQnextmonth
Posted: Mar 15, 2010
Can anyone tell me if I were to survive the MQ buy out and was actually hired by MQ but "things" changed quite a bit, would I be eligible to draw unemployment?
unemployment - need work

Probably not if you quit. That is really hard to prove that you are 'justified enough' to quit a job and still receive unemployment. If you are let go then I would say chances are that you will get unemployment. Good luck!

Wondering....was forced to change from statutory employee to IC status with federal ID number instead of SS# when MDI-MD was rolled into Transcend. Now, Transcend informs that they are NOT going to be employing ICs after Jan 1, 2011. Would like to apply for unemployment, but am being told by a number of people that is not do-able because wages were paid under Federal ID #, not to my social and I signed an IC contract (under great duress, I might add!)
Anybody have experience with this, ca ...
Has anyone applied for unemployment when you have run out of work? Just wondering, you can - even if you have work on and off, but not enough, depending on what your state requirements are. I can no longer survive like this anymore, work then no work - I have only made 100.00 in a week and a half. Anyone in this occupation should be able to be retrained through EDD as this job is disappearing and we are being taken advantage of ....... Just won ...
If you live in 1 state and work at home but your employer is located in another state, which state pays your unemployment? My state pays relatively low but if I am able to collect from my employer's state, I would receive slightly more money per week. Anyone have any experience with this? ...
Start getting paperwork documentation in order NOW. Here's hoping you don't need it, but you will be that much further ahead if you do. Even if you're not at risk of being fired, laid off could be possible and you would still need this.
It could be at least 21 days from the time the question arose, before you receive an answer about benefits. If your case is complicated in any way, it will take longer.
Try as hard as you can to save up at least 2, if not ...
Does anyone know if you would be eligible for unemployment if you get terminated because you are not "meeting contractual obligations" i.e. LPH/QA?

Hey Spheris MTs out there. I worked for Spheris for a while not too long ago but quit for another company. Nothing wrong with Spheris at all, just love the new company flexibility much, much more. I loved the expander program Spheris used (Shorthand 10.0) so much that I ended up buying the program to use on my new job. Problem is there are so many tips and tricks that Spheris provided for using Shorthand 10.0 that I never got to put into action and quit before I thou ...
my friend claims she only made $11000 with spheris last yr. but yet she had health benefits and 401K. how is it she's making so little is spheris really that bad of a company to work for . i've heard so many different stories i don't know what to believe anymore ...
Should we have a W2 from MQ as well as from Spheris? Was just putting my info together to have taxes done & don't understand the 2 from Spheris but noticed I don't have one that says MQ.
Thanks in advance. ...
Some of you may know some or all of this about unemployment from the "employer's" perspective but here goes. I just spoke to my brother who is the CEO of his very successful business, with only a handful of employees, but he is looking on netting over 1 mil. next year (!)
Anyway, he lives and works in California. He told me that if someone applies for disability, the state contacts him to hear his point-of-view. They tell him why the employee has filed, and he has a ...
Anyone had luck in getting partial unemployment as a PT employee? I have a record of all NJA which does not happen every day but at least a few times each month. ...
Does anyone know if you can collect unemployment if it doesn't work out with a company while you are on probation? In other words, you do your 90 days and either you or the company decides it did not work out. Can you then recieve unemployment? Thanks! ...
Has anyone ever been offered a job and accepted offer letter only to turn it down and actually not start working at all at the company and then filing for unemployment benefits? This is what has happened to me.
This happened to me and now evidently it threw up a red flag to unemployment benefits audit department. Now unemployment has to check with that company I was supposed to start at to verify employment and now I have a 50-50 chance of getting benefits and have to wait a ...
As usual with the holidays, I've not had work 3 days now. Does anyone know if I can draw unemployment? Has anyone working for MQ been able to draw benefits when there's days with no work? Any help would be appreciated. ...
NO WORK CONTINUES.....Time for ALL of us who are being cheated out of a living to head for the unemployment office. How many folks out there will say TODAY...no more?? ...
So much fun filing for partial unemployment. Have to send in weekly gross wages, which MMODAL say they can't let me know that until 3 days before payday, which does not work, as I have to report WEEKLY or I lose benefits for that one week. Just have to guesstimate what I earned by line counts straight and VR, but can't figure shift differential or what they screw you out of if you send too many QAs. I've reported this to ESD and let them handle it. Tired of messi ...
YES!!!!!!!! Ladies and gentlemen there IS hope! Because my employer dictated my hours per week, per day and the time I was to work unemployment considered that to be an employee status and NOT IC even though they didn't pay my taxes. This was the decision made after my prior employer appealed my unemployment benefits from them.
Please keep the faith that these companies who try to dictate to IC's their hours, ect will NOT get away with it forever!
I wish you'all the best of ...
Wondering if any long-term MTs are out there that have had problems since going to SR have gotten fired and qualified for retraining through unemployment? In the 14 years I was a MT before SR my quality was never below 99%, always well above required lines. I guess I just cannot read as well as I can type. I have even seen my doctor, who says that since reading uses a different part of the brain than typing, it's possible that I have had ADD and was never bothered until th ...
thinks it is odd to be glad there is one person employed whose duties are to work hard to deny as many unemployment applications for softscript as they can? applications that were made for unemployment due to NJA/OOW
http://forum.mtstars.com/448985.html
at softscript it is not just about PROCESSING the applications but working to make sure they are denied. just wondering if the OP is still glad that person has a job. one person has a job at the expense of many, many who do not. i do ...
just wanted to share that I won my Unemployment appeal concerning TTS. They have to pay me retroactive to Dec. Finally good news, almost makes me want to continue to do MT work ...
unemployment because you got fired and makes you feel like a criminal, what am I supposed to do? I live in Ohio, but I did live in Florida and Ohio told me I have to call Florida to finish up my benefits, but Florida told me that they have to investigate my case and that I can't receive unemployment anyway because I got fired.I have no hope now and I will be homeless if they don't help me. I don't know, what do I do? ...
beyond smarmy, they terminated the part time MTs because when they apply for unemployment (and they are without question able to get it because their jobs were eliminated) they will find the govt will document the last five quarters of their employment and base their rate of pay on a percentage of that. This will probably reflect a very low rate of unemployment insurance compensation that no one can live on, and thus not apply for unemployment. BUT if enough people do get unemploymen ...
