A day you can account for
Presence, scheduled hours and exceptions are assembled as they happen, instead of reconstructed when payroll is due.
Presence · Evidence · Context
Work leaves signals. Collins turns them into evidence.
From the first login to work outside scheduled hours, Collins creates a clear record that can support payroll, surface exceptions and recognise work that would otherwise be easy to miss.

Presence shows when activity was observed. It is not a measure of productivity, quality or effort.

When something does not fit
Unexpected logins, unfamiliar devices and unusual hours become visible and can be reviewed in context.
Work beyond the schedule
Early starts, late finishes and exceptional work remain part of the record rather than fading into recollection.
Repetition changes the picture
One late Friday may be incidental. Several similar Fridays may be a pattern worth discussing.
A shared factual record
One record can answer very different questions
Collins preserves what was observed, giving payroll, operations, security, managers and employees a sounder starting point for judgement.

How it works
From Windows signals to an understandable history
Collins organises selected events without turning them into premature conclusions.
01
Windows events are observed
The Collins agent records the signals you choose, such as login, logout, lock, unlock and device.
02
Collins assembles the day
Events are related to the employee, device, schedule and the organisation's chosen collection level.
03
People provide the meaning
The history shows what was observed. People decide the reason, significance and appropriate next step.
Evidence works both ways
The record should be accountable to reality
Collins does not assume that fewer hours mean less effort, or that longer hours mean greater productivity. It shows what was observed so each case can be considered on its merits.
One system. Different circumstances. No conclusion without context.

One event, different context
A fact can matter in more than one way
Out-of-schedule activity may affect a payroll record and warrant a security check. Collins supports both views without deciding the explanation in advance.

Patterns
One day is an event. Repetition may be a signal.
Collins makes recurring exceptions easier to notice without deciding what they mean.

Repeated after-hours activity
Three overnight observations across separate days.
A pattern is a reason to investigate and ask questions, not an automatic verdict.
A fact before an opinion
Establish the record first. Discuss it second.
Collins does not decide whether a late arrival was justified, a long day was effective or an unusual login was malicious. It establishes a shared factual basis.
Meaning remains a human judgement. Collins simply makes the basis for that judgement clearer.

Collins AI
Which employees had unexplained deviations this month?
Three items may deserve attention. Peter started more than 20 minutes later than scheduled on 4 of his last 6 Fridays. Anna has two short days; both are explained by approved appointments. Thomas had activity at 02:14 on Sunday from a device not previously seen on his profile.
