I need to repeat myself: you can't! Unless you install cameras at the desks 
and monitor what the users do you can just use assumptions.

That's a similar question that "web marketing" people ask. How much time do 
users spend on our web site. You just can't know. There is no "login" and 
"logoff" on web sites. And web sites that actually contain a "logoff" 
button have it as a fake or perhaps to clear cookie session information 
for your own security. But that doesn't mean that you will know what a 
user does. HTTP is stateless. A user requests a document. Squid delivers 
the document. Job done.

Clear now?
