Track Unusual Employee Activity with Precision and Context

Unusual activity is a broad category of digital behavior that deviates from normal human interactions with one’s keyboard, mouse, and other devices. It could also include inconsistent app usage, low activity, data breaches, idle time (time away from one’s device), and more.

Employee monitoring tools like Hubstaff’s Insights add-on can detect suspicious keyboard activity, mouse-jiggling apps, fraudulent time entries, and other abnormal user behavior. Set up notifications whenever suspicious apps are being used or to spot burnout for abnormally low activity.

Not necessarily. While unusual activity could heighten suspicion around time fraud, the right productivity monitoring software could also indicate disengaged employees, burnout, overwork, violation of data security protocols, and other issues. 

Whether it’s time fraud or an issue regarding employee well-being, the best employee monitoring software can detect unusual activity and help you differentiate between exploitative tactics and overworked employees whose mental health you should check up on.

Hubstaff's confidence score is generated by analyzing typical behavior patterns over an extended period. Our user activity monitoring software uses this historical activity, which is cross-referenced when more unusual activity, like suspicious mouse and keyboard usage and potential time fraud, surfaces.

Hubstaff is not designed for cheating detection, but it is an enterprise-grade, automated employee monitoring system that calculates scores based on how confidently one can suspect suspicious behavior from remote workers.
