Meet the new version of the StaffCounter agent for Windows from February 1, 2022. The program has new settings and functions. For example, we have added the ability to stop recording outside business hours (scheduled), as well as a new experimental feature – monitoring mouse activity simulators.

What’s new:

New setting “Include mouse movers into idle time”

Mouse activity emulators are not new in the IT world. For years, unscrupulous workers have been using mouse activity emulators to hide their absence from the workplace or inactivity during work hours tracked by Microsoft Teams and time tracking programs. But not all employers are willing to pay employees just for the fact that they have a cursor crawling across the screen. And since there are applications and hardware simulators that make the mouse “crawl”, there must be monitoring applications that will not take this activity into account. The new version of StaffCounter allows you to track the mouse activity emulator and include this time in the “Pause” section.

However, the use of encryption imposes some restrictions on the operation of the service. Let’s list the main points that need to be taken into account:

Introduction

All of us have ever been deceived. And even betrayed. Unfortunately, we are often surrounded by people who put their personal interests above honor and conscience. In our case, we will talk about subordinates – employees. The prosperity and development of any business depend on them. Perhaps they are not to blame, perhaps their life forces them to act as they do. Perhaps they can still be re-educated? Let’s try! After all, their professional skills are very important for us!

We start with control
