yes wifi can track when employees are logging on and what websites they visit. the short version is that when anyone logging in to a wifi network belonging to someone other than the one logging in, (otherwise known as piggy backing) the people who pay for the wifi get an email or notice stating phone number or computer ip number is hacking in from this location. then asks the person if they want to continue to allow the hacker (person logging in to the system illegally) access. then the boss in control of the Wifi chooses whether to shut off their employees illegal access or not.

At least thats how it works at the crisis center where I work and the local hospitals wifi network. here anyone caught hacking in to the business wifi with other than crisis center/hospital reasons its automatic suspension of computer/wifi priveldges. which means the employee has to go through a supervisor who has the unblocking code in order to use the wifi network.
