Why Workzoom.

Workzoom runs HR, Payroll, Workforce, and Talent on one shared employee record. A hire in recruiting flows to payroll without re-entry. Approved time flows to pay automatically. When everything works together, the administrative burden drops dramatically and errors from manual data transfer disappear. The mid-market HRIS replaces the stitched-vendor stack with one source of truth.

Workzoom is unified HR and payroll software for mid-market organizations with 50 to 5,000 employees across Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. It is built for organizations that have outgrown basic small-business tools but do not need the complexity, price, or long implementations of enterprise suites. The typical Workzoom buyer runs three or more disconnected systems for HR, payroll, and time, and wants one. The HR platform Canada market lines up squarely with that profile.

Yes. Workzoom was founded in 2000 in Toronto and is Canadian-owned and privately held, operated by Nortek Solutions Inc. As an HR platform Canada built end to end at home, all Canadian customer data is hosted on AWS in Montreal. Canadian payroll compliance, provincial tax rules, ROE generation, and T4/RL-1 filing are built in, not bolted on. The platform has been in continuous customer production for over 26 years.

How long Workzoom implementation takes depends on size, scope, data readiness, and how quickly your team can meet and decide. What moves the date is on your side of the table: a clearly defined org structure, a clean export of your employee records, and decided workflows speed it up; turnover on your project team or data still on paper slow it down. Northern Sunrise County processed their first payroll in under three months from project start. County of Renfrew onboarded 32 people in three months with zero paper. Implementation, data migration, a parallel payroll run, and admin training are all included at no extra cost.

Workzoom is $4 per employee per month per suite, or $16 per employee per month for all four suites, billed in Canadian dollars for Canadian customers and US dollars elsewhere at the same numeric rate. There are no initial setup fees, no long-term contract, and no minimum terms. You pay only for the suites you implement, and adding a suite adds $4 per employee per month. Pricing starts at a 50-employee minimum; teams under 100 employees have a monthly minimum from $400 for one suite to $700 for all four. Implementation, data migration, training, and support are included.

Yes. With Workzoom, many organizations start with HR or Payroll and add Workforce or Talent as they grow. Each suite activates independently. Your data is already connected because every suite works from the same place. No re-implementation is required when you add a suite later: the new suite reads the employee data already in Workzoom, so there is no second data migration.

The same team that implements Workzoom answers your questions after go-live. Support is included at every tier with no time limit, not metered separately. Support is available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm ET, by phone and email, plus scheduled walkthroughs with a Workzoom specialist. No ticket-only queue, no call centre, no scripts, no tiered support plans.

Workzoom is different in six checkable ways. One: HR, payroll, workforce, and talent run on a single employee record, so nothing is re-keyed between systems. Two: every record is date-effective and every change is written to an immutable audit log. Three: full payroll runs in Canada, the United States, and the Bahamas with the CRA, IRS, and NIB statutory engines built in. Four: multi-entity structures, position management, and role-based security that keeps executive payroll away from the payroll team are standard. Five: implementation, data migration, and training are included, and the same team that implements Workzoom supports it after go-live. Six: the price is $4 per employee per month per suite, month to month, with no initial setup fees.

Workzoom publishes sourced, dated head-to-head comparisons on /compare/. Each page discloses that Workzoom wrote it, lists vendors alphabetically, and links to the other vendor's own published pricing where it exists. In short: Workzoom is the four-suite platform with payroll built in for Canada, the United States, and the Bahamas, implementation included, at a flat per-employee rate with no initial setup fees. Small-business tools commonly treat payroll as a separate add-on; enterprise suites carry longer implementations and higher price points than a mid-market buyer needs.
