Software installed on a Canadian woman’s laptop revealed that she had lied about having worked more than 50 hours, and she was hence asked to pay back her previous employer for the “time theft.”
According to the reports from ‘The Guardian’, Karlee Besse remotely worked as an accountant in British Columbia, Canada. She claimed that Reach CPA, (her employer at that time), fired her last year without any good reason. Therefore, she demanded the company to compensate her 5,000 CAD.
However, Reach CPA informed ‘The Civil Tribunal’ that Beese had logged in for more than 50 hours that “did not appear to have spent on work-related tasks”.
The business claimed to have placed TimeCamp, a time-tracking system, on Besse’s work laptop. The software discovered a disparity between the hours Besse claimed to have worked and what the time-tracking system recorded as job activity.
Besse said that the software was unable to distinguish between personal and professional use. The business then showed how TimeCamp automatically distinguished between work and personal use, such as streaming TV shows.
