I know this sounds really stupid of me but my "boss" never gave me time to read the whole 75 page contract, she actually gave it to me 8 months after my start of seeing the patient, she was in a hurry because survey was coming and we actually did it in a Wendy's parking lot. And as a matter of fact I have yet signed or even been offered to sign a patient contract for 3 of my patients I care for now. I'm just confused because my "boss" has been on my a$& for about a month now and calls me into the office "mandatory" only because she did something wrong and I know about it and if the owner finds out she could be sued. So do I really have to go to these "bit@/" sessions for her to yell at me for false accusations (something) she made up to try to get me out of the company to save her butt?????

WOW! That's not good!!!! I've been working for this company for a year now and since they have 3 lawyers that actually started the company I figured it was legit. All of the management are considered employees but not the nurses, therapist, or aides. And the way my "boss has been treating me lately is making me question things.

Oh I didn't even think about looking at that site for info. I will do that now, thank you.

I work for a company that covers many different states but I work in Florida. I am known as a "independent contractor" with this company and I carry my own malpractice insurance. I have recently done some reading about what a "true" meaning of independent contractor details and it doesn't seem to fit my companies meaning so I was just wondering if I'm missing something here. My company hires staff and sets their pay grade, they make you sign a patient contract for each patient, they assign you your patients (you can decline), they set your hours, my boss calls meetings (not very often), and you must answer to her for everything from aide complaints, doctor appointment mix ups, let her aware of med changes.... and several other things. Is this really independent contracting????
