"We use the employees face as the metric for clocking in and out, as well as provide a completely cloud based platform that is second to none," they said.

But it doesn't stop there. Payroll Hero could just be the HR's best companion as it provides a complete platform that covers payroll and scheduling.

"We take company culture to the next level and are working to build a world class payroll, time, attendance, scheduling and analytics platform," they added.
