This paper describes the activity of electronic work-monitoring, the use of information technology to record the activities of workers as a background task to normal activities. The viewpoint of the activity from the employer side, as a productivity tool, and the view from the employee perspective, as a possible invasion of privacy, are compared. A quadrant model is described which combines these two conflicting viewpoints, and details how the model may be used to describe and if possible resolve potential conflicts of interest between employees and employers.
