time-tracking

I'm looking for a way to track and monitor my online employees I hire on Elance, oDesk and such.

The tool should be able to:

Produce screenshots on set intervals.
Provide real-time screen sharing.
Preferably track computer usage while user is logged in as "working" + state which task was done in that time.

If I have no all-in-one solution, I will go with RealVNC for screen sharing. But I still need a recommendation for the other things.

Thanks
