How to log off users after certain inactive time??

My boss has enforced users to log off when they leave for the day (in order
to track some users in case), but some people keep leaving their computer
logged on (so I wasn’t able to find the log on and log out time of a couple
of users).
So he asked me to change setting and log off the users after 30minutes of
inactivity. However, I don’t know it is possible. I have been using screen
saver to lock the screen and enter my password to unlock the screen. But I
don’t know there can be something logs out the users after 30 minutes of
inactivity.
Can it be done through Group Policy?
If anyone knows how to make it possible, please let me know.
All computers are under a domain environment.
Thanks in advance.
