Looking for a software program to monitor my actual time working - Anon

Posted: Apr 23, 2014

I work for a company that does not monitor my "hands on the keys." However, I am trying to determine what I am actually earning per hour when factoring in all of the patient demograhics, internet research, etc. that is not reflected in my line count.

Does anyone know of a reasonably priced or shareware program that would do this? Thanks.

Divide your line counts by your hours worked - SickNTired

That's how I do it. That makes me below minimum wage though. Most of the docs quit putting in patient demos, so now I spend a LOT of time looking for patient names, etc. :(

Thanks for the suggestions, but I am looking for something that will hold up in court -- not something subjective.

I think "the court" will suggest you should - just find another job.

If you are not happy with your employer, find another.

Time Stamp		A free, open-source MS Windows program you can use to easily track time spent on a project. It enables you to time how long you spend on a task, including features that let you take "slack time" for a phone call or break. Times for various tasks can be linked to an hourly charge rate for accurate billing. Export your data using ASCII or XML, and customize your report for your own letterhead.

I've been using TrackAMinute2 from Spacejock Software for about six months or so and I love it. You can set up multiple projects for multiple clients and it's extremely easy to use and best of all - FREE.

My company requires a solid 8 hours a day 40 hours a week of system time of transcribing in order to not be fired. This is in an 8 hour day (100% of the time on the keyboard). Any tips on how to do this. My back hurts and I don't want to get fired or I will lose my home. Thanks in advance for suggestions. ...

Ever since they have changed Schedule Source and now it has a display called today's activity with "actuals" hours, this has not matched the hours shown with the time clock punches and is less than the hours according to the clock punch.

I am so sick of this "free" program only for 14 days, then you're locked out of using your pedal unless you buy the program. I've heard lots of complaints about how bad the quality and the service have become, so I'd really rather not buy this one if they're out to screw over people with little to no customer service, and mandatory multiple purchases of Pro version to get the pedal to work because tech support ignores people. I have Windows 8,&n ...

I was terminated in March and now I cannot find a job. I have been working for 31 years, and this past account was a disaster. (I worked for 2 years at this company but moved to another account and had to learn so many, many things, and one of the docs were so bad, that when I asked for help I instead got a critical error. The TSM's seemed to not like me and would not help me learn VR (because my immediate supervisor went on leave of absence). So I ran out of work after 5 hours every day a ...

I have a question concerning unemployment and I hope I can word this correctly. I have 2 jobs. One is IC with a very small volume - about 1500 lines per 2-week pay period. I also have a full-time job as an employee. I will be laid off my full-time job this Friday due to loss of work. I am considering filing for unemployment, but I wonder how my IC job will affect my unemployment, if at all? I also have an option of receiving more work from the IC job, but still would not be making as much as I d ...

It is depressing reading about the poor treatment by some companies. I am looking for some part-time transcribing or VR editing after losing OT and no raise but health care, grocery, gas costs still rising. How are they to work for? Do you run out of work? Is the pay so low you feel like you are sewing soccer balls in India? I worked for a local service years ago, the pay was great, the owner great and tons of work. From what I am reading 8 cpl for transcribing and 4 cpl for VR editing is n ...

Anyone here working part-time and receiving early Social Security benefits? I am considering doing this in the next year and wondering if anyone else is already doing so. Thoughts? I've been working full-time since the age of 18 years and part-time before that, with only a 6-month period of time between jobs, but was collecting severance pay those 6 months. So, I really feel I deserve to get back some of the money I've put into Social Security over the last 4-1/2 d ...

I have seen a LOT of posts on here about QC and most of them are completely inaccurate. Since we have joined with Nuance I think things have gotten very confusing and this is where some of misinformation is coming from. Quality is now split in two, predelivery and post delivery. Those of us in predelivery (QC1) are told NOT to "ding" the MLS for for any kind of punctuation unless for some rare reason it would impact patient care. We are told to use a very light hand and m ...
