Three pay structures, four rooftops, one payroll team. Something always gets wrong.
Flat-rate hour calculation is manual and error-prone
Service advisors track flat-rate hours on paper repair orders. Payroll re-enters them into a spreadsheet every pay period. A missed RO or a transposed number costs a technician money and triggers a dispute that takes weeks to resolve.
Each rooftop runs its own HR independently
HR policies, onboarding, and job postings are managed separately at each store. There is no group-wide view of headcount, open positions, or training compliance. Adding a fourth rooftop means duplicating the whole process again.
F&I compliance training has no centralized tracking
Finance and Insurance managers are required to complete OEM compliance training and provincial regulatory education. Tracking completions across multiple stores in a spreadsheet means the first time you know someone is lapsed is during an audit.
Before Workzoom we were managing three stores with three separate payroll processes. Flat-rate hours from the DMS were being manually re-entered into spreadsheets by our service managers. Errors were constant and disputes took days to fix. Now the process is automated and our technicians trust the number on their pay stub because it matches what they actually billed.
One platform that connects scheduling, compliance, and payroll for Automotive Dealerships.
Credential tracking with automated expiry alerts
Every employee's licenses, certifications, and mandatory training tracked in one place. 30, 60, and 90-day email alerts. Scheduling blocks past expiry so credentialed gaps never reach the floor.
Union-aware payroll
CUPE and non-union premiums apply automatically when payroll runs. No manual calculation.
24/7 shift scheduling
Full-time, part-time, casual, and agency staff in one scheduling view. No separate systems per employment type.
Time flows directly into payroll
No re-entry. Approved timesheets calculate union overtime, stat premiums, and shift differentials automatically. Every pay run is clean from the start. No export, no import, no reconciliation step.
Four suites. One system. $4 per employee per suite.
Start with what you need. Add suites as you grow. No implementation fees, no contracts.

We were running three systems that did not talk to each other. Scheduling in one place, time in another, payroll in a third. Workzoom put it all together. Our managers spend their time on residents, not spreadsheets.

Calculate your priceEverything Automotive Dealerships teams ask before switching.
Flat-rate hours are imported from your dealer management system (CDK, Reynolds, Dealertrack) or entered directly by service advisors each pay period. Workzoom multiplies billed hours by each technician's flat-rate pay scale and applies minimum wage top-up rules automatically where required by provincial employment standards.
Yes. Sales commission plans including new unit, used unit, F&I back-end gross, and volume bonuses are configured in Workzoom. Chargeback adjustments are applied within configurable windows. Commission calculations are transparent to the employee through their self-service profile.
All rooftops are managed in a single Workzoom instance with location-level access controls. Store managers see only their rooftop. Group HR and controllers see all locations. Job postings, onboarding, and policy documents are managed centrally and applied to all stores.
