Protect every pound.
PayRoll Protect turns site attendance data into verified payment evidence — so you can approve with confidence, every time.
Book a DemoThe invoice says
100 workers attended
Site records can only prove 97
Without verification,
all 100 may still be paid
3% discrepancy on a £1M payroll = £30,000 gone.
Don't approve what you can't prove.
PayRoll Protect finds the missing proof before the money leaves.
We match every labour claim to verified site attendance — so you only pay for work that actually happened.
Where Payroll Leaks Happen
Fraudulent or inaccurate labour claims are more common than most businesses realise.
People are listed on the payroll or invoice but cannot be confirmed as actually attending site.
Examples
Invoices claim more hours than were actually worked or recorded on site.
Examples
One worker clocks in or out for another, creating false attendance records.

Discrepancies are flagged before payment — not after.

What Our Clients Say
PayRoll Protect has transformed the way we manage payroll risk. The visibility and accuracy it provides gives us complete confidence that we’re only paying for verified work. The savings speak for themselves.
We disputed three inflated subcontractor invoices in the first month alone. PayRoll Protect paid for itself inside six weeks. Every commercial manager on our sites now treats it as non-negotiable.
The biometric audit trail has completely changed how we handle disputes. When a subcontractor challenges a deduction, we have timestamped attendance evidence. No more arguments. No more overpayments.
A fixed device at site entry records each worker's arrival and departure against a registered biometric profile — face or fingerprint. No paper registers, no swipe cards, no proxy sign-ins. The result is a timestamped attendance record tied to a verified identity, not an assumed one.
Devices are ruggedised for outdoor conditions and work offline, syncing when connectivity is restored.
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.
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.
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.
Compliance is enforced at the contract level. Most clients include verified attendance as a condition of site access in their subcontractor agreements. Workers who don't check in aren't counted as present — and can't be invoiced for. That's the point.
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.
See how PayRoll Protect verifies every labour claim before your payroll runs — and stops unverified work from leaving your account.
