🧩 Developer Notes

  • Default settings are stored at the Organization Configuration Service
  • Employee-specific settings override organisation defaults
  • APIs should validate:
    • Work hours ≀ 24 hours
    • Productive hours ≀ work hours
    • Screenshot interval β‰₯ 1 minute
    • Valid timezone format
  • Changes are propagated via configuration sync pipelines

βœ… Best Practices

  • Use blur screenshots for privacy compliance
  • Set realistic productive hour targets
  • Align timezone with company HQ or payroll systems
  • Document default monitoring policies internally
