What employee monitoring software (spyware) do you reccomend?

That really depends on the type of work. I can't imagine that for high turnover positions (e.g., customer call center) that in the gig economy it's not expected that the worker supply the hardware.

I would say temp work like that you aren't really an employee so that would be true but typically if you are doing some time of remote gig you must log into their application which could easily have monitoring and productivity metrics built in to determine pay and weather to end the contract with that individual.

Your comment brings to mind a couple of thoughts. I worked in HR for years and there is a distinction between employee and independent contractor. If an employer provides the equipment, they are technically employees. If the person working at home provides there own, they "can be" considered independent contractors.

There is other criteria for both types of positions that has to be met but whose equipment is used makes a difference. And, if an employer wants to monitor an employee, they should provide the equipment. Otherwise, I don't believe it would be legal to monitor an employee's or independent contractor's own equipment.
