The problem

Franchise HR breaks every tool that was not built for multi-location operations.

Every location runs its own version of onboarding

Without a centralized onboarding system, each franchisee creates their own new hire process. Brand standards, policy acknowledgments, and training completions vary by location. Corporate has no visibility into who completed what.

Location-level labor costs require manual consolidation

Each franchise location tracks time and scheduling differently. Corporate needs to manually collect data from every location to understand labor costs, overtime trends, and staffing levels across the network.

Scheduling standards differ from location to location

Shift patterns, break policies, and overtime rules should be consistent across the franchise. When each location manages scheduling independently, some follow corporate standards and some do not. Inconsistency creates compliance risk.

Every location was doing onboarding differently. Some used paper forms, some had their own spreadsheets, and nobody at corporate could tell you which new hires had completed training. Workzoom gave us one onboarding process across every location with full visibility from day one.

How it works for Franchises

One platform that connects scheduling, compliance, and payroll for Franchises.

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.

The platform

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.
