Batch – Grouping together of weekly payroll items to submit for payroll. HCHB generates 4 summary reports when batch is complete.  Similar to “processing Payroll” in BEARS. 

Non‐visit activity – An activity outside of a visit and counts toward weekly productivity.  Examples include: PTO, case conferencing, in‐services, training,  and mileage outside of visit.

Other pay – Activity you want to pay for in addition to regular weekly pay and does notOther pay  Activity you want to pay for in addition to regular weekly pay and does not count towards productivity.  Examples include: field staff on call pay, bonus, visit premiums. 

Visit time exception – System generated request (workflow task) to change the time for a completed visit. Field staff cannot change their visit time themselves after the visit has been completed.  Example – documenting late (next day) on a visit

Visit time change request – Request from field staff to change a visit time in the system (coordination note). Example: Clinician leaves device on and according to HCHB visit was 5hrs long!!  Need to correct visit time.

Paper visit – Visit scheduled in HCHB (stress this!), documented on paper, not on the device, and is manually verified in the system.

HCHB payroll is….

Not like BEARS when you data enter all the visits.  All the visit are already in the system and when completed are automatically verified.

So…payroll becomes verifying information and editing by exception, adding anything missing (PTO, on‐call pay)

This report displays visit times for visits that are “verified” in HCHB.  We need to audit these visits to ensure accuracy of visit times and additional documentation time.

Why do I run the report 3x?  Looking for visit times that are inaccurate.  

Beginning date:  date to capture “Old” visits  ‐ recommend go live date   ‐ why this date?there are times when older visits (outside of this payroll week) will be included in thisthere are times when older visits (outside of this payroll week) will be included in this weeks payroll. 

Look for:Visit time <20 min – risk not getting paid for the visit, may be a mistake – follow up

Visit time >90 min ‐may be a case where clinician forgot to turn off device/complete visit –follow up

Doc time > 60 min – struggling clinicians – if they are new clinician, may have forgotten to turn off device.  If it is consistently happening ‐may be a training issue.  Good opportunity to develop clinical staff and make life easier for CM/CSM and clinician.  Also important because LPN, OTA, PTA get paid for extra doc time – if over guarantee will be additional pay.pay.

Goal is for report to blank or only show today’s information.  

If Exclude Verified checkbox is checked, you should be investigating anything else that appears on this report.  If checkbox is not checked, investigate anything that does not have a status of “V”.

This is a good tool for managing productivityThis is a good tool for managing productivity.

HCHB recommends running this report prior to verifying visits on paper.
