QCLOSE HR brings payroll, selfie attendance, field activities, shift rota, recruitment, performance and employee self service into one platform built for Nigerian businesses. Try it free for 5 days.
Most growing businesses run HR from several places at once: payroll in a spreadsheet, attendance in a paper register, hiring in an email inbox and leave requests on WhatsApp. Each one works until the numbers have to agree, usually on the last day of the month.
QCLOSE HR puts those jobs in one platform. It’s built for Nigerian businesses, part of the QCLOSE family of products, and it covers the employee journey from the first job post to the final exit.
What Is QCLOSE HR?
QCLOSE HR is cloud-based HR software. Your team uses it in the browser and on the mobile app, so HR, managers and employees all work from the same records. There’s nothing to install on office computers.
What You Can Do With It
Pay people correctly
Payroll Management is built around Nigerian requirements, including PAYE, pension, NHF and NSITF. With the Nigeria Tax Act changes taking effect in 2026, having payroll in software instead of a hand-built spreadsheet matters more than ever. Read what the 2026 tax changes mean for employers. Attendance, timesheet and leave records sit in the same system, so the hours you pay are the hours that were worked.
Know who is at work
Attendance Management is where QCLOSE HR is especially strong:
- Selfie clock-in and clock-out. Employees enter their name or ID, take a quick photo and clock in. The same flow handles breaks and clock-out. Nothing to install and no fingerprint scanners. See how selfie attendance works, step by step.
- IP address and geolocation controls. Add your office networks as approved IP addresses, with a separate entry for each site, and use geolocation for physical locations. Learn how to set up IP address attendance.
- Daily time schedule. Set the hours that decide who is on time and who is late.
- Team’s Attendance view. Managers see present, late and absent counts live, with clock-in and clock-out times and total hours.
Manage staff who work away from the office
Field Activities lets managers assign site visits with locations on a map and a task list for each one. Staff clock in and out at every location with a photo, tick off tasks and add notes. Managers see progress, time on site and a full activity log. It’s built for technicians, sales teams, inspectors and anyone else who is out in the field. Explore Field Activities.
Run shifts without spreadsheets
Shift Rota and configurable shift patterns and times let managers plan who works when. It suits manufacturers, security, retail, hospitality and healthcare teams, where the schedule, the clock-in and the payslip all need to agree. Read more about Shift Rota.
Hire and onboard
Recruitment lets you post vacancies and track applicants in one place. Onboarding helps new hires get set up properly from day one, and Termination Management gives exits the same structure as hiring.
Keep people records in order
Employee Management holds a central record for every person. A searchable Policies library stores your company policies, tracked by who added them and when. Announcements keep company-wide messages in one place.
Grow and review performance
Performance Management covers KPIs and appraisals, so reviews are based on goals set in the system and not on memory.
Track time, projects and invoices
Timesheet and Time-Off, Project Planner and Invoicing and Requisitions connect time worked to projects and client invoices, which helps service businesses that bill by the hour.
Let employees help themselves
Employee Self Service lets staff check their own attendance, payslips and leave balances and make requests, without going through HR for every small question. Android and iOS mobile apps are included. See how the self service portal works.
See the whole picture
The Dashboard, Analytics and Logs give leaders a view of the workforce and an audit trail of activity on the platform.
Part of a Bigger Ecosystem
QCLOSE HR sits alongside QCLOSE Safety, QCLOSE Inventory and EJA ERP. If your business later needs asset management, bookkeeping or inventory, you don’t have to start again with a new vendor.
Pricing You Can See
QCLOSE HR has one paid plan, priced per user per month, with all features included. There are no feature tiers to decode. Every new account starts with a 5-day free trial, no card required, so you can test it on real data before you commit. See current pricing at qclosehr.com/pricing.

A Note on Employee Data
Attendance photos, IP addresses and location data are personal data. Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, tell your staff what you collect and why, who can see it and how long you keep it. A short notice in your Policies library is a good start.
