USE CASE
Remote and hybrid teams
Distributed teams are either invisible or over-surveilled. Session records give the accountability without the intrusion — and produce a better working-time record than a badge reader ever did.
Two bad options
The first is flying blind: people work from anywhere, badge systems capture nothing, and attendance for remote days becomes an email trail nobody would want to show an inspector. The register develops two tracks — clean for office days, informal for remote ones — and only one of them would survive scrutiny.
The second is worse. Screenshot and keystroke tools promise visibility and deliver a large pile of sensitive personal data, a demoralised team, and a metric that measures activity rather than work. An engineer thinking through a design scores as idle; a mouse-jiggler scores as productive.
How remote work gets recorded
- 01
Sessions work identically from anywhere
Office, home, client site — the same start, project, stop. There is no separate remote-day process, so the register has one shape.
- 02
Fragmented days total correctly
A day split across a school run and an evening call is several sessions, which adds up more accurately than a single pair of clock times ever could.
- 03
A manager approves it
The closed session lands in a review queue with its full context — who, which project, how long, which day. Approving takes a click, and the decision is recorded against the session permanently.
- 04
Lightweight presence, not monitoring
Online and idle status shows who is around right now. That is the whole of it — no screen capture, no keystrokes, no continuous location.
What changes
- One attendance record regardless of where the work happened — no parallel spreadsheet for remote days.
- Visibility that a distributed team will actually accept, because there is nothing covert running.
- A far smaller personal-data footprint, which is the easier position to defend under the DPDP Act and GDPR.
- Remote days feed leave, overtime and payroll exactly like office days, because they are simply working days.
What this does not do
Workclave will not tell you whether someone was working hard, and it is not built to catch people out. It records that a session ran against a named project and that a manager who knows the work approved it. If what you want is proof of activity minute by minute, this is the wrong tool — deliberately.
Remote & hybrid teams — common questions
Does work from home count as attendance?
Yes. Attendance is a record of working time, not of physical presence, and remote days belong in the register with their hours. The same overtime, rest-interval and record-keeping rules apply to them.
Do you track location?
No continuous location tracking. Sessions record time, project and approval — the evidence attendance and billing actually need — so there is no movement history to secure, justify or delete.
How do managers know who is working right now?
Online and idle status gives a live view of who is in a session. It answers the availability question without recording anything about what is on anyone's screen.
