When Telecommuting Is Based on Contracts, You Need a Billing Workflow

The data entry service workflow we previously proposed is designed to be operated by a company who prepares image data and sends to a contract worker. Once you have a contract-based teleworking workflow, you 'll also want a workflow for paying fees according to performance.

The below workflow adds a billing flow by the accounting department.


<Tasks>
1. Register Image Data, 2. Accept & Schedule, 3. Text Data, 4. Check, 5. Record in Work Log

[Efficiently-Digitizing <<Accounting Checkout >>: "5. Record in Work Log" screen]

<Process Data Items>

• Title (Summary of digitization job, e.g. "Dec 1990 Osaka district verdict")

<<Image data info>>

• Original image created on (date)
• Original image stored at (string)
• Original image (file)
• Notes (string)
• Ignore? (Select: Image okay / Ignore and rescan image)

<<Text data info>>

• Deadline (date)
• Digitized text (string)
• Digitized text doc (file)

<<Control>>

• Correspondence (discussion)
• Check (OK / NG) 
• Text count (numeric)

Task 5 (5. Record in Work Log) is rather unproductive, as it is only for counting the number of words in the text file. If the workers can be trusted, it should be more convenient to allow the
 workers themselves input the word count in task 3.

The below workflow can receive inquiries from accounting to worker.

<Added Process Data Items>

• Question from accounting (Select: No / Ask question to worker)
