People who work from home: how does the job know you're actually working?

Do you have to hit a button on the computer every 30 minutes to prove you didn't leave or what?

I have to work from home a few days, but not yet. And it's got me wondering.

I don't want to ask the manager "so how will you know I'm working"

They will know if you are actually working or not from the output.

If they get a call saying "I didn't get my *whatever* as expected this week" all they have to do is look at who was supposed to deal with it and ask them why it wasn't done as expected... and they will do that.
