It's called house arrest with work and travel allowances.
However, it isn't very practical, and most courts would just assign restrictive probation instead.
Which is the probation you are describing.

Yes this is house arrest ,some people get privileges to go to and from work only.Some people are required to wear a tracer but not all(depends upon the crime)The probation officer can check on you by calling or paying you a visit.So if you are not home by a certain time after work then you can violate and go back to jail.Hope this helps your question

The ankle monitor is what is used to keep tract of where the probationer is, or where they have gone. The new ones are very accurate as far as the location finding goes since it uses global positioning. The probationer is allowed to go to work and is basically in a work release program.
If the probationer is on regular probation, not house arrest with an ankle monitor. They go once a month to check in with their Probation Officer, or they could go once a week or so depending on if they are having to drop urine for drug testing. With this type of probation the probationer has rules (like a contract) to follow like; they can not hang around with others on probation, or others who are convicted felons or on parole. No drugs or drinking. The probationer is expected to follow these rules, and yes, they can be told not to go to this place or that place. If they get caught breaking these rules they lose their freedom and either go back to jail or juvenile detention.One of the jobs of the probation or parole officer where I work is to take one night or day outside the office and just be out looking to see if they find their client breaking these rules. For me, it was surprising when I would go into a bar with my friends at night and there I would find clients drinking, clients I had just seen earlier in the day and given a drug test. Of course, they went right back to jail.

Many locales have a work-release program for offenders who have jobs to go to them and then go back to jail overnight, or even weekend-incareration programs to serve the sentence on weekends. Probation conditions can be whatever the prosecution/defense/judge agree to, tracker or not.

1) WORK RELEASE MONITORED.
2) YES IF THEY ARE ORDERED BY THE COURT TO DO SO.
3) YES ALL PROBATION WITH OUT A DEVICE SAYS SOMETHING TO THE EFFECT OF: "YOU WILL GO TO WORK AT THIS TIME, YOU WILL REPORT BY PHONE THAT YOU ARE AT WORK, YOU WILL REPORT WHEN YOU LEAVE WORK, YOU WILL PHONE THAT YOU ARE RETURNING HOME AND YOU WILL RETURN BACK FROM WORK AT THIS TIME."
ALSO PROBATION OFFICER WILL VISIT WORK SITE TO ENSURE YOU ARE THERE. (NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY ARE COMING)
