Breathe (also written Breathe HR or BreatheHR) has helped UK small and medium-sized businesses manage their people since 2012. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and separate tools, you get one place for records, leave, documents, performance, reporting and compliance.
What you get as standard
Core HR covers secure employee records and documents, holiday and leave, sickness and absence, self-service, e-signatures, performance (goals, feedback, one-to-ones and reviews), and reporting and analytics.
Add more when you need it
Recruitment: job ads, hiring workflows and candidate tracking
e-Learning: UK-specific courses and completion tracking
Health and Safety: risk assessments, incidents and certifications
Expenses: claims, receipts and manager approvals
Rota, Time and Attendance: shifts, availability and hours
Coming soon: an AI Assistant that answers HR and policy questions from your company information, and payroll in late 2026.
The difference it makes
One accurate record means no more typing details twice. Self-service and shared workflows cut the chasing. And you can start with Core HR and add modules later, so it works even when HR is one person's part-time job.
Is Breathe right for you?
It works best for UK businesses with up to 200 employees moving HR off spreadsheets, especially with lean or shared HR roles. With 200+ staff or needs like multinational payroll or complex global compliance, look carefully first. Breathe isn't a global enterprise HCM (human capital management) suite.

OnTheClock
OnTheClock helps small and medium-sized businesses simplify employee time tracking, time clocks, scheduling, PTO, and payroll in one connected platform. Built especially for businesses with hourly employees, OnTheClock is designed to be straightforward for everyone who uses it, from workers clocking in to managers reviewing attendance and administrators processing payroll.
Employees can record their hours through an online employee time clock on a mobile app, web browser, or shared kiosk. Managers can review and correct timecards, approve hours, monitor attendance and overtime, and organize employees by department or job. GPS tracking, geofencing, biometric fingerprint recognition, and IP address restrictions give businesses options for managing clock-ins at a single location or across multiple job sites.
Scheduling and PTO tools let managers create work schedules, handle time-off requests, and track accruals, while employees can see their hours and upcoming shifts. Job and project tracking helps employers understand where labor time goes.
OnTheClock's built-in payroll takes approved timecards directly into the payroll workflow, cutting out manual reentry. Businesses can pay hourly and salaried employees through direct deposit, while OnTheClock calculates, files, and pays payroll taxes on the employer's behalf. Companies that want to keep an existing payroll provider can transfer time data using integrations with QuickBooks, ADP, Gusto, Square, Thomson Reuters, Paychex, Sage, and Paylocity.
Founded in 2004, OnTheClock serves 16,000 businesses and approximately 160,000 employees. Real U.S.-based customer support is available by phone, live chat, and email.
