Nobody cares about the monitoring software. I have my camera blocked off so good luck tracking my movement. You are free to take your breaks as long as you're not billing the client for your trip to the supermarket.

OP - this really varies. I work from an agency and hire companies to help us with these reviews. We run reports pretty regularly that track docs/hours. We also track overturns. We remove people from the doc review team if they fail to meet metrics.

This sounds like a nightmare.

Why? If you're productive and doing a good job, you're fine. My team runs these reports out of Relativity daily, and they go to the law firm client and/or the client whose documents you are reviewing. If everyone else is reviewing 50 docs/hour with a 5% overturn rate, why should we keep someone doing 30 docs/hour with a 20% overturn rate? I assume you don't pay full price for services that take longer than promised and are not done in a quality manner? It's no different for review clients.

Every contract attorney review we've outsourced has had at least one reviewer removed from it - my favorite was the one who couldn't stop reading the documents to for evidence of their own personal conspiracy theories rather than the actual review criteria.

How much does the document reviewer make?

$20-30/hr mostly

Better than $0 but not a lot compared to a real legal job.
