Does anyone at Nuance work IC status or all employees? - me


Posted: Apr 29, 2013

Have they switched everyone over to employee from the companies they have taken over or are there still IC status workers ? 

I think it is all employee. Why would anyone want to be IC anyway? - anon

I like to have them pay 1/2 my SS tax.

As an IC you now have to have a set schedule, so what is the point of being IC now days?

Why IC versus employee - sm

Although more and more companies are asking you to provide a schedule, most will just ask for a general idea of what you plan on working, which gives you more flexibility. Also if you are looking for part-time or prn work, you can get away with not having to *commit* to 24 hours a wk. Me personally, I prefer IC because I cannot work 24 hours a week, more like 14 hours a wk, because of my full time job. Most companies will let you pick your own schedule if you are IC.

"Most" companies, where? I worked IC and all of them made me provide a schedule. - so why bother paying my own higher taxes. NM

For Nuance Employees In CA (at Least)..
Jan 03, 2015

Employers must allow 3 PAID sick days per year if they weren't already doing this.  I am sure Nuance will HATE this and are probably right now putting their fat heads together trying to come up with a way to get out of it.  First, they won't even acknowledge it, hoping no one will call them on it.  If that doesn't work, they will think of something else. ...


Nuance Employees, Do You Have An HSA Or FSA Option Currently?
Nov 04, 2011

I'm reading about the difference between the two of these, and it looks like the employer withholds a portion of your income to cover medical expenses. I don't know if that has to be offered by the employer or if it can be set up somehow by anyone who qualifies due to a high-deductible insurance plan. Do you currently have any HSA or FSA arrangement with Nuance? ...

Nuance's Contempt For Its Employees
Nov 22, 2014

From comments below, but worth highlighting ... "If you are so unhappy with your pay then maybe it is time to get a new job. Sending a medical record to someone who should not have it is illegal and as such can be prosecuted. Now, it goes without saying that issues such as this are investigated, but I am sure if you are a Nuance employee you had to take the HIPAA training provided by the company, and if you paid attention you would not need to ask in what capacity you can be held responsible.

Employees Who Generate No Profit For Nuance
Feb 26, 2015

I just wonder has anyone ever tried to calculate the cost involved in recruiting, hiring and training the long line of people who come through the revolving doors of Scruance? There seems to be a never-ending stream of newbies. Meanwhile, the long-time, loyal, revenue-producing MTs are getting the shaft. And what about the cost of employees who do the recruiting, hiring, training, mentoring, QAing, QCing, auditing, TSMing, COMing and POCing in addition to other nonrevenue-producin ...

First is upper management, 1 of 3 anyway because 2 of them are on vacation for a whole week, who finds a chair and then passes it down to lower management who then places it in front of the MT to stand on. The MT stands on the chair but first they must remove the still working fine bulb that is in place and throw it away. They are then given a defective bulb by the SR folks and told by management they must successfully place 10 of them per hour in order to meet the standards. After twisting a ...


OMG How Funny - Read Glassdoor Opinion Of Employees, US Versus Indian Employees!

IC Status?
Mar 26, 2014

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 ...
