It depends on what country you are in.
For me, using a time tracking software is a great help for business owners. It'll be easier for him to monitor his staff's productivity and he could guide them on the areas that need improvements. It'll also help the staff avoid distractions and focus more on work. With this, it'll boost their productivity. But installing this without the employee's knowledge is pretty risky. It's better if the owner would let them know they are gonna be monitored while working and explain to them that it's just a way of protecting the company.
Another thing to consider is the software itself. You need the make sure that the software you're going to use tracks time accurately and doesn't have that much flaw.
