Radhika Panjwani is a former journalist from Toronto and a blogger.for a company to plant, track and collect data from a surveillance tracking software embedded in a worker’s device without their consent?
Productivity tracking software like TimeCamp can measure how much time an employee spends on different tasks, whether the computer was used for non-work activities, such as streaming a TV show and if the employee printed pages. She said if there’s a risk that private and confidential information could be accessed by an employer-mandated time-tracking software, then the employee who must accept time-tracking software should be informed of this risk.Sandra Robinson, an organizational psychologist at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia, says tracking or micromanaging employees with software erodes trust and goodwill.
“Your people are more than keystrokes on the computer screen,” Prof. Robinson said. “You should be monitoring quality output, not the minutes spent on the screen.”

I get to work early, rarely get breaks, leave after my shift is done...and they don't pay me a dime more. BUT...if I'm 5 mine late....I would be fired.
