Office employee monitoring that shows how time at the desk is spent

Mera Work shows how the office day went: attendance without registers or biometric machines, active and idle time, the apps in use and the workload across teams, on office computers and in branches.

What Mera Work gives an office team

A clear record of the working day for desks, floors and branches.

Attendance without registers or hardware

Attendance runs from the first activity on the computer to the last. There is no register to sign, no badge to swipe and no biometric machine to buy.

Know how desk time is used

Active, idle, productive and unproductive time by person, so you can see how much of the time at the desk was spent working.

Balance work across teams

Hours and productive time by team, department and branch show who is stretched and who has room.

Common office problems and what changes with Mera Work

Most office teams come to Mera Work with questions like these. A setting or a report you already have answers them.

Attendance registers are signed for someone else
Attendance is taken from activity on the computer, so it reflects when work actually happened.
People are at their desks but work stalls
Active, idle and productive time show how the day went, and the Activity Log shows a week as a timeline.
Lunch and tea breaks are counted as idle
Where an admin enables the stop timer for a person, they can pause monitoring for 5, 15, 30 minutes or 1 hour.
Several people share a computer across shifts
A computer can be shared, and shift templates, rosters and a cut off time keep a person's day separate, including night shifts.
Branches keep their own records
Members have a base location, reports group by location, and settings are made once for all branches.
IT has to install and update software across the office
The agent installs silently through Active Directory, Group Policy or Intune, and My Team shows agent versions by computer with an upgrade request.

How Mera Work supports an office team

IT installs the agent once, managers set the rules, and the record builds itself across the office.

Attendance and breaks, taken from the computer

Attendance starts with the first activity of the day and ends with the last, measured against expected hours, working days and the holiday calendar. The stop timer pauses tracking for scheduled breaks. Shift templates can be fixed or set on a weekly roster, and a cut off time closes the day cleanly for night shifts.

  • No registers, badges or biometric machines
  • Logged against expected hours, with untracked days
  • Fixed or roster shifts, assigned in bulk
  • Stop timer for scheduled breaks

How the day went at the desk

The agent records active, idle, away and offline time and the apps and websites in use. Your categories decide what counts as productive by department. Team leads see their own people on the dashboard, and can view a screen live to help someone where you enable it.

  • Active, idle, productive and unproductive time per person
  • Categories set per department
  • Live screen for floor leads, for the people you enable
  • Views of a screen logged in the Tracker audit

You can see how much desk time is productive from the first week.

Easy for IT across branches

The agent installs silently through Active Directory, Group Policy or Intune, with an MSI for Windows. My Team shows the agent version by computer and lets an admin request an upgrade. Members have a base location and a department, and settings are made once for the organisation and changed in bulk where a branch needs something different.

  • Silent install and uninstall across office computers
  • Agent version and upgrade request per computer
  • Base location and department for members
  • Several computers per person, and shared computers

Common questions about monitoring office teams

What is office employee monitoring software?

It records how work time is spent on office computers: attendance, hours, activity, the apps in use and, where you enable them, screenshots. Mera Work turns that record into a dashboard and reports for managers.

Do we need biometric machines or badges for attendance?

No. Attendance is taken from the first and last activity on a person's computer, measured against expected hours and the holiday calendar.

Can several people share a computer?

Yes. A computer can be shared between people. Shift templates and a cut off time keep shift days separate, including night shifts.

Are lunch breaks counted as idle?

Not if you enable the stop timer for that person. They pause tracking for the break, and it resumes on its own when the time is up.

Can we manage several branches?

Yes. Members have a base location, reports group by location, and settings are made once for all branches and changed in bulk where needed.

How does IT install it across the office?

Silently through Active Directory, Group Policy or Intune, with an MSI for Windows. My Team shows the agent version by computer, and an admin can request an upgrade.

Will office staff know they are being monitored?

In interactive mode the agent is visible on the person's computer. Stealth mode runs quietly in the background and should be used only where your legal position allows it. A consent capture date is held against all members.

Install the agent on two office computers, set your working hours, and the dashboard fills the same day.
