I believe there's a typo in the text, but besides this I have only come up with some sort of viewing system that allows to view employees in real time. This is a bit wordy and not sure it's the best option. It appears in a contract for cleaning /maintenance services. Thanks

a real-time reviewing system of its employees


Explanation:
The term is "révision" I believe.

"révision de présence de son personnel en temps réel"

"présence" could either mean relevance/skill of the employee or the actual fact of being physically here. I would go for the first since this seems to be focusing on their performances.

disagree  Tony M: I don't think this is very plausible, Kévin; IMHO, just a kind of hi-tech 'clocking-on' system. / Employees simply phone in so the employer can keep track of where and when they are. Like GPS vehicle tracking systems...

CCTV


Explanation:
Sounds like they are talking about CCTV...closed circuit television used to monitor employees.

disagree  Tony M: Apart from being highly impractical and costly (for keeping an eye on cleaners?!), there would also be ethical issues — cf. the recent court case involving Ikea. / I think you are extrapolating too far.

  -> Ikea's ethical issues are not my problem !

neutral  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: This may in fact be the type of set-up being used. Might be a good idea for the Asker to ask the client whether this is what is meant.
45 mins
  -> I based my translation around the word "vision"...which may have been misused in the original text. "Verification" would be more accurate for a "télépointage" system.
