PunchHQ is a tool that helps organisations record attendance, leave and related requests. Please read this page together with our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

Not legal, payroll or HR advice

Reports, late marks, half days and leave balances are calculated from the rules each organisation sets up. They are a record to help you, not legal, tax, payroll or labour-law advice. Each organisation is responsible for its own policies and for following the laws that apply to it, including wage, leave and labour laws.

Check before you pay

We work hard to keep calculations correct, but mistakes can happen: for example a wrong shift, a missing holiday or an incorrect office location. Please review attendance and reports before using them for salary or any decision about a person.

Location and devices

Check-in uses the phone's location and a trusted-device check. These make cheating much harder, but no phone-based system can guarantee where a person is. GPS accuracy depends on the device, the building and the network.

Availability

PunchHQ is free and provided "as is". It may sometimes be slow or unavailable, for example during maintenance or problems with our hosting providers. Keep a simple backup process for days when you cannot check in.

Contact

Contact the HR or admin team of the organisation that gave you your PunchHQ login. They can reach us on your behalf.
