Billing and Posting Clerks and Machine Operators

Working Conditions

Billing clerks typically are employed in an office environment, although a growing number—particularly medical billers— work at home. Most billing clerks work 40 hours per week during regular business hours, though about one in seven works part time. Because billing clerks use computers on a daily basis, workers may have to sit for extended periods and also may experience eye and muscle strain, backaches, headaches, and repetitive motion injuries.
