Reverse Billing with BioSyn's Mobile App

What is Reverse Billing?

Reverse Billing allows your employees using the BioSyn app to clock in with no data usage being charged to their mobile phone bill. Instead, the cost is covered by your company. This way, your employees won’t have to worry about using their own data for work-related tasks.

This is especially useful for companies with a mobile workforce or remote teams. In South Africa, reverse-billed mobile data has become an essential tool for digital access. ITWeb explains the concept in detail here, including how it works and why it’s gaining traction across industries.

Frequently Asked Questions about Reverse Billing:

1. Is there a limit to the amount of data that can be reverse billed?

No, there is no limit. Each month, the company updates its account based on the actual data usage by employees.

This means that the rate and megabyte (MB) count may vary depending on how much data employees use.

2. Are there any privacy concerns with reverse billing?

The BioSyn app simplifies the process for employees to clock in and out or complete specific tasks without using their personal data, while prioritizing the privacy and security of that information. To comply with the Protection of Personal Information (POPI) Act, the app secures and protects all personal data it handles. This approach ensures that the app collects and processes personal information in line with strict privacy regulations, consistently safeguarding employees’ data.
