Abstract(s)
Nowadays, presence control is a widespread mechanism used by companies as a
way to ensure that their associates provide regular output, or to determine the pay check in relation to reported work hours. This work under development aims to conceive
and implement ways to monitor desktop-based working hours of associates, especially
those who do not need to be at the workplace to perform their tasks or those with a
flexible work schedule. This solution validates the desk-time based on the time spent on
desktop tools. Furthermore, it includes a local database, where the information about
the interaction of associates with the system, is at first stored. Then, all data is downloaded to the central control database for further analysis, which is chiefly to identify and
categorize behavior patterns. With this work it was possible to test the feasibility of this
kind of solution, which has a self-regulating capacity to quantify effective working time
of the associates with precision and fairness-based monitoring, while ensuring good
privacy policy among the users – the reason why the system only exposes absolute and
relative quantitative indicators instead of detailed reports. This work is basic concept
for a solution that can bring out innovation by its approach, distinctiveness, and privacy
policy, and in practice this solutions can have many more applications, for instance in
the area of human resources management and productivity control.
