FAQs

How does HR Duo record time?

Employees clock in and out from a mobile, tablet, fixed kiosk or desktop — whichever fits the site. Each event is timestamped, location-verified where you choose, and flowed straight into the timesheet.

Can it prevent buddy punching and time fraud?

Yes. Optional biometric clock-ins, geofencing, photo verification on mobile, and audit logs on every edit make buddy punching and back-dated fraud effectively impossible.

Does it work for remote and field-based workers?

Yes. The mobile app supports clock-ins from any location, with optional GPS verification and offline mode for sites with poor signal — data syncs automatically when the device reconnects.

Does it connect to our payroll system?

HR Duo exports to all major UK and Irish payroll providers including Sage, BrightPay, Xero, and Iris. One-click export, or scheduled automatic delivery on your pay cycle.

How quickly can we get set up?

Most teams are live within 2–4 weeks. Our onboarding team handles employee imports, site configuration, payroll integration and manager training so you don’t have to.

Is it suitable for businesses with multiple locations?

Yes — multi-site is core to the product. Whether you’re running 2 sites or 200, head office gets a single live view, and each site manager only sees their own team.
