Its not economically realistic to expect physical supervision, when this kind of cleaning work is typically fully distributed across multiple sites.
As part of the contract a worker would probably drive to a school at 5pm, clean it for a few hours, drive home.
Some workers probably realised that there was no one actually validating their work, and didn't show up or only 'worked' for a short period of time.
Its unreasonable to provide a work phone which then comes with a lot of corporate overhead and device management, for something which is probably just a temporary contract.
It seems completely reasonable to agree to location tracking as part of these jobs, since it makes the management and supervision process more efficient. Workers can buy cheap Android phones and run them on WiFi if they wish to separate their work device from their personal device.
- JanisL 6y agoIf it's cheap to buy a phone then I think the management at the company absolutely should be buying the phone, I just fail to see why the employee should be forced to install something on their own phone for work. It sounds all this "efficiency" ends up in the favor of the company and in a way that just seems out of balance.
- loloquwowndueo 6y agoSure but this will not help the actual “employee cheats” problem :) just buy that cheap android phone, leave it in the locker, and set a network scheduler app up to enable/disable at specific times so it doesn’t look like the device is there all the time. Also if these cheap Android phones exist and are usable, you’re contradicting yourself when saying it can’t be provided by the employer. They could allow employee to expense the device.
