It covers people records, attendance and shifts, leave, payroll, loans and expense claims, performance reviews, hiring and an HR help desk, with a company feed where staff post and an AI assistant that answers questions and prepares actions for you to confirm. ### Which countries does BeyondHR payroll cover? BeyondHR ships with pay rules for Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the United Kingdom and the United States: income tax, social contributions such as EOBI, provident fund, GOSI and National Insurance, and end-of-service pay. You choose the country when you create your company, every rule can be changed in Settings, and the figures should be confirmed with a local payroll professional before the first real pay run. ### How does BeyondHR use AI? The assistant answers questions about leave, pay and people from your own records and prepares requests that you confirm. Autopilot checks attendance, leave, payroll, reviews and hiring and lists what needs attention. AI also reads photos of receipts, reads approval rules written as plain sentences, answers HR questions from your company policies, builds reports from a question, and drafts probation assessments. It works with Claude or OpenAI; the core system still runs without a model connected. ### Can employees use BeyondHR on a phone? Yes. BeyondHR runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so people can clock in, ask for leave, claim expenses and read the company feed from their phone. There is no separate mobile app yet. ### Does BeyondHR work with fingerprint or face attendance devices? You can import the punch file exported from a fingerprint or face device, and BeyondHR turns it into check-ins, check-outs, late marks and overtime. A live connection to devices is not built yet. ### How are approvals set up? You write the rule in your own words, for example “Leave over 5 days also needs HR” or “Expenses above 50,000 need the CEO”. BeyondHR reads it back in plain language before saving. If an approver is on leave, their own manager can decide, and HR can always step in. ### How does BeyondHR protect our data? Passwords are hashed, two-step sign-in is available, and bank account numbers and national ID numbers are encrypted in the database. Every permission is checked on the server, each change is recorded in an audit trail, and each company’s records stay in its own database with a daily backup. ### How long does it take to set up? Choose your country, name your company and you are its first HR admin. Add each person once; they receive a one-time link and choose their own password. Most companies can be running in an afternoon. ### Can I try BeyondHR before deciding? Yes. The live demo is a complete company of 100 people that you can explore as an HR admin, a manager or an employee. Demo logins are given on request; the data is invented and is rebuilt every few hours. ### Who makes BeyondHR?
