WorkMonitor.

Use case · Lawful monitoring practice

Monitor without the fine or the blocked rollout

A works council can stop a rollout, and a paragraph in a handbook will not restart it. Versioned consent, a scope the engine enforces, retention that expires, and a record of who looked.

Free for two seats, no card.

Monitor legally & stay compliant

The controls a regulator, a works council or a court will ask about

Every line here opens the screen it happens on. Judge the job on what it puts in front of a manager, not on the sentence describing it.

How it works

Standing up a defensible monitoring programme

  1. 1

    Start from the jurisdiction

    Read what the local regime expects, notice, consent basis, works-council duties, before choosing what to capture.

  2. 2

    Configure the minimum that answers the question

    Capture policy per team and per region, with per-app deny-lists. The narrowest scope that answers your question is also the one that is hardest to challenge.

  3. 3

    Record consent and tell people

    Consent is captured against a policy version and the transparency view opens, so what people were told is producible later, for a named person on a named date.

  4. 4

    Keep the appeal route open

    Disputes reach a human, accesses are logged on a hash chain, and the evidence pack assembles what an auditor will ask for.

A policy document vs. a programme that is wired in

workmonitor.vsPolicy-on-paper

  1. Consent

    With WorkMonitor

    A record naming the person, the date and the policy version, and re-consent when the policy changes.

    Policy-on-paper

    A clause in a handbook, unversioned, and impossible to produce for a specific person on a specific date.

  2. Transparency

    With WorkMonitor

    A transparency view of everything collected, per person, available without them asking, which is the first thing a works council wants to see.

    Policy-on-paper

    The tool is described in an all-hands. Nobody can see their own data.

  3. Contesting a decision

    With WorkMonitor

    A dispute route with a right to human review, built for Article 22 and EU AI Act Article 26 expectations.

    Policy-on-paper

    Raise it with your manager, who is the person the data was collected for.

  4. Over-broad capture

    With WorkMonitor

    Blocked at capture time by the policy engine, and deny-listed applications never reach the wire.

    Policy-on-paper

    Discovered in an audit, months after the setting was changed.

  5. Who accessed the data

    With WorkMonitor

    A hash-chained data-access log, produced for the auditor and visible to the subject, which is what closes the question rather than reopening it.

    Policy-on-paper

    Unknown, and unknowable after the fact.

  6. Operating in a new country

    With WorkMonitor

    Written guidance for 32 jurisdictions covering what the local regime expects of workplace monitoring.

    Policy-on-paper

    A legal review that starts from scratch, or a rollout that quietly ignores the question.

The status meeting, already written

Status is normally assembled by asking. Here it is already: hours, activity, attendance and risk on one board, for one person or the whole company. Set the thresholds once and it tells you who needs you.

The software is the easy part of a rollout

Here is what we would send a manager doing one for the first time: how to read a productivity number, what to say to a remote team before anything is installed, and a policy you can adopt as written.

Point it at one team for a week.

Create the account, put the agent on a handful of desks, and leave it alone. On Friday you read the week instead of reconstructing it: hours against their projects, focus and idle per person, and the timesheets already filled in.
