The Problem

Traditional clocking systems are expensive and outdated

UK SMEs are still paying for hardware they don't need — and losing hours to manual timesheets every week.

Physical Badge Readers Cost £800–£2,000

Every office, every site, every branch needs its own terminal. That's thousands in upfront hardware — before you've tracked a single hour.

Manual Timesheets Waste 10+ Hours a Week

Collecting paper sheets, chasing employees on WhatsApp, fixing errors in Excel — UK SMEs with 20–30 staff spend £12,000–£14,000 a year on manual attendance management.

Static QR Codes Are Easy to Cheat

Employees photograph a static QR and clock in from home. Without a dynamic, regenerating code, your attendance data is unreliable from day one.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about QR code time clocks

Everything UK employers need to know about badge-free QR attendance.

A QR code is displayed at your workplace entrance — on a screen or printed on paper. Employees scan it with their smartphone camera when they arrive and leave. NoBadge records the timestamp and location automatically. The QR code regenerates every second, so it cannot be shared or photographed for remote use.

No. NoBadge works as a Progressive Web App (PWA) — employees open a link on their smartphone browser and the app is ready immediately. No App Store, no Google Play, no installation. It works on any Android or iOS device with a standard camera.

No. The NoBadge QR code regenerates every second. A screenshot taken even one second earlier is already invalid and will be rejected by the system. This eliminates buddy punching and remote clock-in fraud entirely — without requiring any additional hardware or verification step.

Yes. NoBadge generates complete, timestamped attendance records for every employee — exactly what the UK Working Time Regulations 1998 require. Records are stored securely, exportable at any time, and compliant with UK GDPR. You can read more about UK Working Time Regulations 2025 in our dedicated guide.

No hardware is required. You display the QR code on any existing screen — a tablet, a monitor, a TV — or simply print it on paper and stick it to the wall. Employees use their own smartphones to scan it. NoBadge saves UK SMEs between £800 and £2,000 in badge reader hardware costs alone.

Yes. NoBadge supports both QR code attendance for fixed locations and GPS clock-in for field workers within the same account. Office staff use QR, site workers use GPS — all data flows into the same real-time dashboard and payroll export.
