Frequently asked questions about the Supervised Hours Tracker.
Does the tracker certify that my hours will be accepted by the Board? No. The tracker shows what your record contains and what the Board’s own rules require, with a citation for every rule. Your supervisor attests; the Board decides. Where a rule is ambiguous, the tracker reports the less favorable reading and says so.
Does the tracker store client information? No. There are no free-text fields anywhere a client could be named. The product records categories and quantities of time, not encounters with identifiable people.
What happens to my hours if I change jobs? Nothing changes about your access. Your account is personal, not tied to any employer. The engagement at your old job closes with an end date; your supervisor there keeps read-only access to what they signed, and you keep everything.
Can my old supervisor see my new job’s hours? No. Access is scoped to the specific engagement and date range a supervisor was granted — never to your record as a whole.
What if my supervisor won’t sign my log? See Weekly Logging & Attestation. California law generally requires a supervisor to sign for hours obtained in good faith unless they’ve given a week’s written notice they intend to stop. The tracker can assemble the evidence you’d need to raise this with the Board.
Does the tracker support jurisdictions other than California, or license types other than AMFT? Not in this initial release. California AMFT was chosen because its supervision rules are close to the most complex case in the country — an engine that can express them honestly can be extended to related credentials (ASW, APCC) under the same board, and eventually other states.
Is this a replacement for an EHR or practice management system? No, and it’s designed to stay that way. It tracks quantities of time in categories for licensure purposes only.
