Independent Contractors and Nuance

I am a self-employed medical transcriptionist. I work for a single practice as an independent contractor. I need to "hire" other independent contractors to help me keep up with my work load, but I have no idea how to go about doing this. Any and all information and advice from others who have done this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!! ...

In order to comply with the standards and criteria the Federal Government has set forth to determine who qualifies for IC status, MD-IT has designed a couple of very basic questions to see if an individual is eligible to be classified this way. 1. Is your business incorporated, a LLC, S-Corp, or Partnership, with a separate FEIN, or are you a sole proprietorship with a registered DBA (fictitious name)? If yes - can you provide evidence of such? (copy of registration ...

Is it illegal not to pay independent contractors twice a month. It was agreed to in the hiring process? ...

This is my first year filing taxes as an IC. It seems over my head, but maybe just because this is my first time. I really would like to avoid the 250+ my local tax person wants to charge and apply that amount to the taxes I will be owing. So is it that difficult or should I just let the pros do it? Thanks ahead for any advice ...

To the independent contractors out there...How much do you usually average per hour when being paid per lines? I just recently took a job a new company, what they offered in cpl seemed to be decent, but once I got working the software they use is extremely hard to get a good line count. It seems I just keep typing (and/or edit for the SR) away, but the lines take forever to add up. I think we are paid 72 characters for line, no spaces, no headers/footers, and you ...

The President gave a speech today/yesterday (work the midnight shift so it is still today). He was talking about the independent contractor thing. Here is that part of the speech. Is there any hope for me? Helping Middle-Class Families Win the Future .....blah....blah....blah.... and then: Ensure Proper Classification of Employees to Protect Benefits. When employees are misclassified as independent contractors, they are deprived of benefits and protections to w ...

Why are there so many companies wanting independent contractors these days ? Some of us need benefits ! ...

Could anyone tell me if Landmark hires employees or independent contractors? Would appreciate your help on this. I went to their website but it does not mention it. Thx. ...

Here are the two places you need to contact. File those claims! Don't let these cheats get away with this. and MOST IMPORTANTLY contact the companies who contract with the company who isn't paying you - I'm sure they would like to know the (lack of integrity) of the company they are dealing with.

From each paycheck? Is it 15%? I might be becoming one. ...

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 ...

7 cpl, no spaces, pay once a month... give me a freaking break! PLUS having to buy their software at $200, (but refundable should you ever quit) taken out of your check in "4 easy payments." Yeah... sign me up!! ...

Hi Everyone, I'm a transcriptionist with 20+ years of experience. Way back 20 years ago I had my own service and, for various reasons, closed it and went to work for someone else. Now I'm tired of paying the middle man all of my hard earned wages and would like to get back into the truly self-employed aspect of transcription. Back then we just transcribed from tapes. The problem is that technology has changed to so much during that time, I hardly know where to start ...

Would a few independent contractors mind sharing your CPL rate? I currently work as an employee and have three years experience. I am looking into IC jobs, but I am having difficulty finding information easily on the difference in rates between IC jobs and employee jobs. Thank you! ...

How does anyone become an IC (independent contractor)? What is the process exactly? Any help would be appreciated. ...

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 ...

I have been thinking about getting my own contracts instead of working for a big company. Can anyone please advise me on how to go about this? I have been working for five years as an MT and I was just content with what I had but I won't be getting a raise anytime soon (haven't for the past 5 years) and I know that I would be making more independently. So what are the steps of getting your own contracts? What do I need to know before I begin? Thank you all ...

can anyone give me some info independent contracting. what all is involved, what taxes need to be paid, do I pay double social security, do I need a buisness license, etc. any helpful information would be appreciated. Thanks ...

I am finally leaving the broken world of transcription vending to become an independent contractor once again. I am so very fortunate enough to have benefits through my husband's employer, so it's the pay I am really missing. Is it unreasonable to put a raise in the contract? The hospital basically told me they are not contracting for as much $ as they used to (yet another slap in the face of my career), and kind of hinted that raises are a joke. When I follow ...

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. ...

I would like to know what all is involved with being an independent contractor. I have been toying with the idea a lot lately but have no clue what needs to be done or what is required of me. If anyone could give me some insight into this, I would so truly appreciate it. Thanks... 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 ...

I was just wondering how does a person become an independent contractor? I see a lot of job openings for them but not really sure what is involved. Could someone explain how to go about getting into being and independent contractor? Thank you so much! ...

Is anyone a licensed independent contractor? I saw a job listing that you have to be licensed. First time I ever heard of that. ...

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 ...

Hello all, I have a potential new job, FINALLY!! I am relatively new out of school and have only had one, short-term position in transcription. I worked at the facility and was paid hourly. Now, this doctor that I'm in talks with for this position is wanting to know fees and contract stuff. I have NO IDEA how to set that up or what to even charge. Can anyone help with this, or at the very least, point me in the direction of where to find information that could help me create something? Sho ...

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 a zillion questions; however, I am on unemployment, which I would probably get an extension and a grant to go to school only I am not really interested in coding/billing because well I am just not that keen on the healthcare field anymore. Not to start anything, but unem really only wants to give grants for a 3- to 6-month certificate mill, in which more than likely I would not get a job coding anyway. All it would do is buy me some more time to wait for something else, which ...
