HR+ Software Trinidad
Regional enterprise ERP with 24-country Caribbean coverage
Executive Summary
HR+ is the incumbent regional player. They've built compliance for 24 Caribbean territories including Antigua's ABSB and MBS requirements. The tradeoff is complexity. Their ERP architecture means longer implementations, custom pricing negotiations, and an interface designed for enterprise IT departments rather than modern HR teams. If you're a 500+ employee organization with dedicated IT staff, HR+ is a viable option. For growing businesses that need agility, the enterprise overhead becomes a constraint.
Strengths
- 24 Caribbean countries with localized payroll
- ABSB, MBS, Education Levy compliance built-in
- 150,000+ employee records managed regionally
- Multi-company, multi-territory architecture
- 300+ built-in reports for enterprise needs
Considerations
- Legacy ERP design with dated interface
- Implementation takes months, not weeks
- Pricing requires sales negotiation
- Built for large enterprises, not SMBs
- On-premise option adds IT maintenance overhead
Feature Comparison
| Capability | HR+ | Workzoom |
|---|---|---|
| Core HR & Employee Records | ||
| Antigua Payroll (ABSB, MBS) | 2026 | |
| Time & Attendance | ||
| Performance Management | ||
| Learning Management (LMS) | ||
| Transparent Pricing | ||
| Modern SaaS Interface |
The path forward: Start with Workzoom for HR, Workforce, and Talent today. Add Antigua payroll when it launches in 2026, or run both systems if HR+ is already embedded in your operations.

Desktop payroll software built specifically for Antigua & Barbuda
Executive Summary
AntiguaPayroll serves notable local clients including Curtain Bluff, Galley Bay, Caribbean Star Airlines, and the Antigua Barbuda Investment Authority. It handles ABSB, MBS, and Education Levy calculations with local bank file generation. The limitation is scope. It's payroll software, not an HR platform. No employee self-service, no scheduling, no performance management. Your HR data lives in spreadsheets. For payroll-only needs with low IT complexity, it works. For organizations that want modern workforce management, it's a piece of the puzzle, not the solution.
Strengths
- Built for Antigua with local compliance
- ABSB, MBS, Education Levy pre-configured
- Local bank file generation
- Used by major hotels and government entities
- Simple 3-step payroll process
Considerations
- Payroll only, no HR, time, or talent
- Desktop software, not cloud-native
- No employee self-service portal
- No mobile access for managers or staff
- Website and technology appear dated
Feature Comparison
| Capability | AntiguaPayroll | Workzoom |
|---|---|---|
| Antigua Payroll Compliance | 2026 | |
| Core HR & Employee Records | ||
| Employee Self-Service | ||
| Scheduling & Time Tracking | ||
| Performance Reviews | ||
| Cloud Access / Mobile |
The path forward: Use AntiguaPayroll for statutory compliance today. Add Workzoom for HR, scheduling, and talent management. Consolidate to one platform when Antigua payroll launches in 2026.
See WorkzoomExcel & Spreadsheets Manual
The default for small businesses and growing teams
Executive Summary
Spreadsheets feel free but carry hidden costs. When ABSB contribution rates changed in January 2025 from 15.5% to 16%, how many formulas needed manual updates? When MBS requires your monthly R3A filing, how many hours does reconciliation take? The real cost is time and risk. Research shows 88% of spreadsheets contain errors. During Sailing Week or cruise ship arrivals, manual processes collapse under seasonal hiring demands. One compliance mistake with ABSB can trigger a 10% late payment penalty. The "free" option is often the most expensive.
Why Teams Use Spreadsheets
- Familiar interface, no learning curve
- Feels "free" (part of existing software)
- Full control over formatting
- Works offline during power outages
- No vendor dependency
Hidden Costs & Risks
- ABSB rate changes require manual formula updates
- No audit trail for compliance reviews
- Hours lost to manual data entry weekly
- Critical knowledge lost when staff leave
- Tourism season overwhelms manual processes
Real Cost Comparison (100 Employees)
| Factor | Spreadsheets | Workzoom |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Software Cost | $0 | $400-$800 |
| HR Admin Time (est. weekly) | 15+ hours | 3-5 hours |
| Compliance Error Risk | High | Low |
| Audit Trail | ||
| Seasonal Scalability | ||
| Employee Self-Service |
The math: If your HR team saves 10 hours/week at $25/hr, that's $1,000/month in recovered time, plus reduced compliance risk. The "free" option costs more than professional software.
See WorkzoomLocal Payroll Bureaus Local
Accounting firms and payroll service providers in Antigua
Executive Summary
Local accountants and payroll bureaus offer something valuable: trusted relationships and deep compliance expertise. They know ABSB deadlines, MBS filing requirements, and the specific quirks of Antiguan banking. The limitation is what they don't provide. Bureaus process payroll. They don't give you scheduling tools for peak season, employee self-service portals, performance management, or real-time workforce visibility. You're also dependent on their availability and response times. For payroll compliance, they work. For modern workforce management, you need more.
Strengths
- Deep local expertise with ABSB, MBS, IRD
- Trusted personal relationships
- Completely hands-off for you
- Often bundled with accounting services
- Know Antiguan bank file requirements
Considerations
- Payroll only, no HR or workforce tools
- No employee self-service portal
- No real-time visibility into your data
- Delays waiting for reports and changes
- Dependency on single provider relationship
Coverage Comparison
| What You Get | Bureau | Workzoom |
|---|---|---|
| Payroll Processing | 2026 | |
| ABSB/MBS Compliance | 2026 | |
| HR Records & Documents | ||
| Employee Self-Service | ||
| Scheduling & Time Tracking | ||
| Performance & Learning | ||
| Real-Time Dashboards |
The best of both: Keep your trusted payroll relationship for ABSB compliance. Add Workzoom for everything they don't provide. When Antigua payroll launches in 2026, you'll have options to consolidate.

Frequently asked questions
What Antigua & Barbuda employers ask about HR and payroll
Why is Workzoom expanding into Antigua & Barbuda?
We already support teams in Canada, USA, Bahamas, and the UK. Antigua & Barbuda is a natural next step because we see the same gap we filled in Bahamas: employers choosing between expensive bureaus, error-prone spreadsheets, or outdated desktop software.
HR, Workforce, and Talent are available now. Payroll with ABSB, MBS, and Education Levy compliance launches in 2026. Book a demo to see the platform.
What's available for Antigua & Barbuda today?
Available now:
- HR Suite: Personnel records, recruiting, onboarding, self-service portal
- Workforce Suite: Scheduling, time clocking, time off management
- Talent Suite: Performance reviews, learning management, career planning

How much does Workzoom cost?

- HR Suite: Personnel, recruiting, onboarding
- Workforce Suite: Scheduling, time clocking, time off
- Talent Suite: Performance, learning, career planning
- Payroll Suite: Pay processing with Antigua & Barbuda compliance 2026
Implementation, training, and support included. No setup fees or long-term contracts. View pricing.
Is Workzoom more affordable than a payroll bureau?
When Antigua & Barbuda payroll launches in 2026, yes. Bureaus typically charge $8-15 USD per employee for payroll processing alone. Workzoom at $4 USD will give you payroll plus real-time visibility, time clocking that flows directly into pay, and complete HR capabilities.
Right now: You can start with Workzoom for HR, time management, and talent while keeping your current payroll bureau. When we launch payroll, you'll have the option to consolidate everything into one system.
Will Workzoom handle ABSB, MBS, and Education Levy?
Yes, when payroll launches in 2026. We're building full support for all Antigua & Barbuda statutory deductions:
- ABSB (Social Security): 16% total (6.5% employee, 9.5% employer) for private sector
- MBS (Medical Benefits): 7% total (3.5% employee, 3.5% employer)
- Education Levy: 2% total (1% employee, 1% employer)
This is the same compliance approach we use for Bahamas NIB and Canadian CRA requirements. Rates will update automatically when the Social Security Board makes changes.
Will Workzoom generate ABSB filings and statutory reports?
Yes, when payroll launches. Workzoom will generate monthly ABSB remittance reports, MBS contribution summaries, Education Levy filings, and employee statements. Data accumulates automatically from each pay run, making compliance straightforward. Learn about payroll filings.
Which Antigua banks will Workzoom work with?
When payroll launches, we'll generate payment files compatible with all major Antigua & Barbuda banks: Eastern Caribbean Amalgamated Bank (ECAB), Antigua Commercial Bank (ACB), RBC, CIBC FirstCaribbean, and credit unions. This is the same approach we use in Bahamas, Canada, and USA today.
How long does implementation take?
2 to 6 weeks for most organizations. We handle data migration, configuration, and validation. You test before going live. Implementation is included at no extra cost. Contact us to plan your timeline.
Can we migrate from Excel or a payroll bureau?
What time clocking options are available?
Available now, included at no extra cost:
- Mobile app with GPS geofencing (iOS and Android)
- Kiosk mode on a shared tablet or computer
- Web browser clocking
- Manager timesheet entry with approval workflow
Optional hardware: Fingerprint terminal ($1,195 USD), facial recognition ($1,495 USD). Mix methods across locations.
Can we manage teams across Antigua and Barbuda?
Yes. St. John's, All Saints, English Harbour, Codrington, anywhere on either island. One system for all locations. This is how our clients in Bahamas, Canada, and USA operate across multiple sites today.
Organize employees by location, department, or cost centre. Local managers approve time and leave for their teams. Different clocking methods at different sites. Consolidated reporting rolls everything up. Learn about organization structure.
Can employees view their own payslips?
Yes, when payroll launches. Until then, employee self-service is available now for everything else: viewing personal information, submitting leave requests, checking schedules, updating contact details, and clocking in/out from mobile or web.
This dramatically reduces HR admin time. No more fielding balance inquiries or chasing down forms.
Where is our data stored?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers in Canada or the United States, your choice. Same infrastructure used by banks and governments worldwide. SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS certified. AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2 in transit, 24/7 monitoring, daily backups. View security details.
What support is included?
Ongoing support at no extra cost. Dedicated liaison during implementation, email and phone support after go-live, all software updates, and automatic statutory rate updates when Antigua & Barbuda changes them. Get in touch.
