Fun Fact

Many employees are spending between one and five hours per week surfing the Internet at work for personal reasons.

In 2005, two Web@Work surveys conducted by Harris Interactive confirmed that Internet misuse at work is on the rise. About half of the respondents admitted to surfing the Internet between one and five hours per week for personal reasons. About 52 percent of those respondents also admitted that they would rather give up their morning coffee than give up their ability to use the Internet at work for personal use.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Internet misuse costs employers more than $4 billion a year.

A Word from our CEO

Congratulations to Donna Di Donato, our Allstate Insurance winner from our December contest. Purchasers of Web TimeSheet that month were entered into a draw to win a weekend getaway to the Rocky Mountains. Allstate Insurance was the prizewinner.

In the pristine wilderness of Banff National Park, Donna and her guest Kirsten experienced luxurious comfort at The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel-one of the magnificent lodges of the Canadian Rockies. They indulged in a weekend of pampering, sightseeing, and horseback riding.

"We are so grateful to be able to stay at the Fairmont and experience the spa... we loved everything [Banff] had to offer," exclaimed Donna. "The view from the top of Sulphur Mountain was amazing. Thank you, Replicon!"
