Know your load

What the job actually takes, on paper.

Teaching, marking, coordination and service add up. Coord keeps your own ledger and sets it beside the workload allocation you were given — a record for the conversation about what the semester took.

Your activity belongs to you. Only you can see it unless you share a statement. Organisations see category totals for groups of five or more; they can ask for a statement, never open yours.

The work behind the workload

The hours are already being spent.

71%

of respondents to the NTEU’s 2025 staff census regularly worked beyond their paid hours.1

155–275 h

Median annual coordination hours reported for Level C and Level B academics coordinating a course in a small centre in Kenny and Fluck’s national study.2

$70 m+

in university underpayments covered by Fair Work Ombudsman undertakings at Sydney, Monash and UNSW — with accurate hours records central to remediation.3

An honest record

Counted by Coord. Added by you.

While you work

Visible, active time is attributed to the work you are doing. Marking timers exclude breaks and idle time. Pause tracking in one click.

The work elsewhere

Log “25m student emails” or import calendar proposals. Nothing from the calendar enters your record until you confirm it. Service counts and measured time stay separate.

On paper

Monthly and semester statements compare the record with your allocation. Download PDF, CSV or JSON; preview redactions before creating a revocable link for someone you name.

Your record, in your hands.

Load is included on every edition. Your organisation cannot turn your record into an individual monitoring dashboard.
