The survey includes a list of activities and asks the employee to rank the activities based on the amount of time spent working on the activities. The survey also prompts the employee to provide information including average hours worked per week, job position, etc. A server receives the employee's responses and, using company information stored by the server, allocates costs of the company.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention use a data processing system for evaluating line item data. The method involves displaying at least one line item from a central database; receiving a selection of at least one line item from a claim handler; and receiving authorization from the claim handler to execute payment of the selected line item. The authorization is for either a direct payment, vendor transfer, line item payment, or preauthorized payment.

Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the principles of the present invention automatically generate file notes for insurance claims using predefined text to complete each file note. A claim folder interface creates detailed claims and provides suffixes and participants to a file note interface. The file note interface displays file notes with prefilled suffix and participant fields as well as selectable items in a category and subcategory field. Moreover, methods and systems consistent with the present invention, enable a claim handler to select a selectable category and subcategory and provide short text associated with the selection in a predefined text area. In addition, a larger text area may also be provided to capture any free form text.
