You Pay For Workers.
We Verify They Were
Actually There
A biometric terminal at your site gate logs every worker in and out. That record is checked against subcontractor invoices before payment is approved. If the hours don't match, you see it before the money leaves.
Labour Is Claimed.
Not Verified.
You're invoiced based on what subbies claim, not what you can verify.
Paper registers and supervisor sign-off are gameable. You're approving payments based on what someone wrote down — not who actually walked through the gate.
Payments clear before anyone checks whether the hours are real.
By the time a discrepancy surfaces, the invoice is paid. Recovery means disputes, legal action, or writing it off. Most construction businesses write it off.
Margin leaks quietly, at scale.
At 7.5% across a 100-worker site, that's £420,000 a year. Paid out. Not coming back.
Scanning
Verified ✓
From Gate To Invoice,
Nothing Gets Through Unchecked.
Every Worker Is Identified At The Gate
A fixed terminal at site entry scans each worker's face or fingerprint on arrival and departure. No cards, no PINs, no QR codes. Identity confirmed — not assumed.
Hours Claimed Vs. Hours Logged
As invoices come in, every hour claimed is matched against verified attendance — worker by worker. The system knows exactly who was on site and for how long.
Discrepancies Caught Before Payment Clears
Mismatches surface before you approve a single payment. Your commercial team gets the discrepancy flagged with verified timestamps — not a hunch. Evidence, before any money moves.
Commercial Control At Every Stage.
Protect Margin
Every subcontractor invoice is matched against verified attendance before it's approved. You pay for confirmed hours — not claimed ones.
Verify Attendance
Face or fingerprint. Every worker, every shift. A record that can't be backdated, swapped, or signed off by a colleague who wasn't there.
Identify Exceptions
When claimed and verified hours don't match, you're told before the approval window closes — not in the next audit, when it's too late to act.
Complete Audit Trail
Every check-in is timestamped, stored, and exportable. When a subcontractor disputes a rejected invoice, the evidence is already there.
What Is Unverified Labour

What Leaks On An Unverified Site.
A 100-worker site at 7.5% discrepancy: £420,000 a year, approved and gone. Once those invoices are paid, that money doesn't come back.
Things People Ask
How does biometric check-in work on a live construction site?
Workers check in and out using a fixed tablet or mobile device at site entry. Biometric data — typically a facial scan or fingerprint — is matched against a registered profile in seconds. No paper registers, no swipe cards, no proxy sign-ins.
Devices are ruggedised for outdoor conditions and work offline, syncing when connectivity is restored.
Does this replace our existing payroll or timekeeping system?
No. PayRoll Protect sits alongside your existing systems as a verification layer. Attendance data is exportable and can be reconciled against your payroll or subcontractor invoices — it doesn't require you to replace anything.
How is biometric data stored — what about GDPR?
Biometric templates are encrypted at rest and in transit, stored on UK-based servers, and never shared with third parties. Workers provide informed consent during onboarding, and data is deleted upon request or contract end.
We provide full documentation to support your GDPR compliance obligations, including a Data Processing Agreement.
How quickly can you deploy on a new site?
Most sites are live within two weeks. Hardware ships pre-configured — your site manager follows a short setup guide, workers are enrolled on arrival, and the dashboard is accessible from day one.
What if a subcontractor refuses to use the system?
Compliance is enforced at the contract level. Most clients include biometric check-in as a site access requirement in their subcontractor agreements. Workers who don't check in aren't counted as present — which is exactly the point.
Do workers need a smartphone or app?
No. Check-in happens at a fixed device at site entry — workers don't need to download anything or own a smartphone. There's nothing for workers to manage.
