More Than Just Payroll and Admin

Moorepay is primarily known for payroll and core HR functions like leave, time, and attendance. HR Duo goes further, combining payroll tools with digital rotas, subcontractor management, project tracking, and geofence-enabled clock-ins — making it ideal for complex or shift-based workforces.

Built-In HR Compliance and Risk Support

While Moorepay provides HR services, it relies heavily on external consultancy. HR Duo’s HR Assist package brings compliance tools into the platform,  including model HR letters, policy templates, connected forms, and audit-ready digital contracts.

Digital Contracts and Secure E-Signatures

HR Duo enables you to create, send, and securely sign contracts directly in the platform, building a full audit trail and eliminating manual paperwork. Moorepay does not include built-in contract management or digital signatures.

Integrated Employee Relations Assistance

Moorepay provides access to HR advice, but it’s service-led rather than system-led. HR Duo combines expert support with integrated employee relations tools giving managers templates, workflows, and built-in compliance checks to confidently handle disciplinaries, grievances, and employee issues.

Employee Engagement and Performance Tools

HR Duo provides 360 reviews, one-to-ones, improvement plans, and goal tracking, alongside knowledge-sharing features like an internal knowledge centre and instant messaging. Moorepay offers performance reviews and 360 feedback, but lacks structured development planning and compliance-driven HR engagement tools.

Scales with Compliance at the Core

Moorepay scales well for payroll-heavy organisations, but it doesn’t focus on regulatory workflows or proactive compliance management. HR Duo automates over 80% of repetitive HR tasks, reduces admin through built-in compliance templates, and ensures your HR team is always audit-ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between HR Duo and Moorepay?

Moorepay is best known as a payroll and HR software provider, focusing on automating payroll, expenses, and basic HR administration.

HR Duo is a workforce management and HRMS platform that combines payroll with digital rotas, time tracking, compliance tools, and performance management.

Unlike Moorepay, HR Duo includes HR Assist, a package of built-in HR policy templates, model HR letters, connected forms, and employee relations support to reduce compliance risk.

Does HR Duo include payroll like Moorepay?

Yes. HR Duo integrates with payroll and includes automated payroll and payroll reporting as standard. While Moorepay provides a full outsourced payroll service, HR Duo ensures payroll accuracy through integrated time tracking, geofence-enabled clock-ins, and leave management, reducing errors at source.

Businesses that need both workforce planning and payroll compliance benefit from HR Duo’s single-platform approach.

Is HR Duo better than Moorepay for compliance and HR risk management?

Absolutely. Moorepay provides HR advice through consultancy, but most compliance actions remain manual and service-led. HR Duo embeds compliance directly into the software with:

  • Digital contracts and secure e-signatures
  • Audit-ready document storage and workflows
  • HR templates and connected forms
  • Employee relations assistance built into the platform

This means HR Duo helps you stay compliant every day, not just when you pick up the phone to a consultant.

Can HR Duo replace Moorepay’s HR and Payroll system?

Yes. HR Duo covers all the core HR functions Moorepay offers, including time and attendance, rotas, absence management, benefits tracking, and performance management.

On top of this, HR Duo provides unique workforce management tools such as subcontractor management, project tracking, and equipment logging, which Moorepay does not offer.

Is HR Duo better for SMEs and growing businesses than Moorepay?

Yes. Moorepay is ideal for organisations prioritising payroll, but growing businesses need more than that. HR Duo is designed for SMEs and scale-ups that require shift scheduling, compliance management, and mobile-first employee engagement.

By automating over 80% of HR admin tasks, HR Duo saves HR teams valuable time and reduces reliance on multiple vendors.

Does HR Duo include employee engagement tools that Moorepay doesn’t?

Yes. While Moorepay supports performance reviews and feedback, HR Duo provides 360 reviews, structured one-to-ones, goal tracking, and improvement plans.

HR Duo also includes instant messaging, organisation charts, and a knowledge centre to improve communication and employee engagement, features not available in Moorepay.

 

Why should I switch from Moorepay to HR Duo?

Businesses switch from Moorepay to HR Duo when they want a single HRMS that covers payroll reporting, workforce management, and compliance in one platform. Instead of relying on consultancy and add-ons, HR Duo provides:

  • Digital rotas and shift scheduling
  • Geofence-enabled time tracking
  • Integrated HR Assist tools for compliance
  • Built-in HR templates, forms, and contracts
  • Performance and engagement tools

Switching to HR Duo gives organisations greater control, fewer manual processes, and stronger compliance workflows — all while supporting workforce productivity.
