  • I-9 verification with electronic signature and storage
  • Multi-state employee records with location-specific fields
  • EEO-1 data collection for federal reporting
  • Document management with automated reminders

Audit-ready employment records

Complete employment history for every employee. When the DOL or a state agency calls, pull the documentation in seconds—not days.

Common questions from Bahamian employers

Everything you need to know about running HR and payroll in The Bahamas with Workzoom.

  • Bahamian employers pay less. As part of our commitment to the Caribbean market, Bahamas-based organizations receive special regional pricing that caps the full platform at $14 per employee per month. This is the same rate regardless of company size, with no tiered pricing that penalizes growth.

    Each suite (HR, Workforce, Payroll, Talent) costs $4 per employee per month. Subscribe to all four and you pay the capped rate of $14, not $16. That is a built-in discount for Bahamian employers who want the complete solution.

    Minimum monthly fees:

    • 1 suite: $400/month
    • 2 suites: $500/month
    • 3 suites: $600/month
    • 4 suites (full platform): $700/month

    What is included at no extra cost: implementation, data migration, training, ongoing support, and all future software updates. No setup fees, no hidden charges, no long-term contracts. Pay annually and save an additional 5%. Calculate your exact pricing.

  • Workzoom calculates NIB contributions automatically based on current rates set by the National Insurance Board of The Bahamas. Employee and employer portions are computed each pay run without manual input.

    When you process payroll, Workzoom generates your C10 form with all required fields populated. You review, approve, and submit to NIB. The system keeps a complete history of every contribution for audits and year-end reporting.

    Learn more about Workzoom payroll processing.

  • Workzoom generates bank transmission files for all major Bahamian banks:

    Employees can split their pay across multiple accounts, sending a portion to savings or loan payments automatically. See how pay processing works.

  • Yes. Workzoom handles multi-location operations with a single employee database. You can track staff in Nassau, Grand Bahama, Exuma, Abaco, Eleuthera, or any Family Island from one system.

    Each location can have its own schedules, time clocking setup, and managers with role-based permissions. Security can be configured down to the field level if needed. Reporting rolls up across all sites so you see the full picture of headcount, labor costs, and attendance.

    Mobile time clocking with GPS geofencing works well for staff who move between locations or work at remote sites. Explore time clocking options.

  • Implementation is included at no extra cost. You stay in control of the pace and priorities while our team provides guidance, data migration, and configuration support.

    The process follows these steps:

    • Self-guided orientation: Explore the system before making configuration decisions
    • Data migration: You provide employee data in a spreadsheet, we map and import it (typically completed within days)
    • Configuration: Work with your Workzoom Liaison or Coach to fit the system to your policies
    • Validation: Test in your sandbox environment to confirm everything works as expected
    • Parallel payroll: For payroll conversions, run 1-2 parallel pay runs to verify accuracy
    • Go-live: Roll out on your schedule with ongoing support

    Most Bahamian organizations are fully running on Workzoom within 4 to 8 weeks. Teams under 250 employees often go faster. The timeline depends on your availability and how quickly you can gather data and validate configurations. Contact us to plan your rollout.

  • Workzoom includes three clocking methods at no additional cost:

    • Mobile app with GPS geofencing (iOS and Android)
    • Kiosk mode on a shared iPad, laptop, or desktop
    • Manual timesheet entry with manager approval

    For higher security environments, optional biometric terminals are available:

    • Fingerprint terminal: $1,195 (one-time purchase)
    • Facial recognition terminal: $1,495 (one-time purchase)

    Many organizations use mobile clocking for field staff and biometrics at main offices. You can mix methods across departments. Compare all clocking methods.

  • Yes. Workzoom is configured for compliance with the Employment Act of The Bahamas and related regulations.

    Built-in support for:

    • NIB contribution calculations and C10 reporting
    • Vacation and sick leave tracking per statutory minimums
    • Overtime rules and premium pay calculations
    • Termination and severance calculations
    • Record retention for Ministry of Labour compliance

    All logins, actions, and data changes are logged with timestamps, user IDs, and IP addresses. This audit trail meets Sarbanes-Oxley requirements and supports any compliance review. Learn about HR compliance features.

  • Workzoom is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Tier IV data centers across Canada and the US. Each client has their own dedicated database schema and document repository, not shared infrastructure.

    Security certifications include: SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, PCI DSS Level 1, PIPEDA, FedRAMP, and HITRUST CSF.

    Data protection measures:

    • Data at rest encrypted with AES-256
    • Data in transit encrypted with TLS 1.2
    • Real-time replication across availability zones (minimum 100km apart)
    • Daily encrypted backups stored off-site
    • 24/7 monitoring with intrusion detection
    • Role-based access controls down to field level
    • Multi-factor authentication for administrators
    • SAML integration with Azure AD, OneLogin, and Okta

    All Workzoom staff sign non-disclosure agreements and undergo background checks. Access to client data is restricted to authorized support personnel only. Learn about our technology platform.

  • Yes. Many of our Bahamian clients came from Excel-based payroll systems. Our implementation team handles the data migration, including employee records, pay rates, year-to-date amounts, deduction history, and leave balances.

    You provide your data in a well-structured spreadsheet. We map and import it into your sandbox environment, typically within a few days. You then validate the data and make any corrections directly in Workzoom.

    Once migrated, you will not need to rebuild formulas or re-enter data each pay period. Hours flow in from timekeeping, deductions apply automatically, and NIB calculates itself. You review and approve instead of calculating from scratch. Book a demo to see the payroll workflow.

  • Ongoing support is included with your subscription. You get access to a responsive support team who can help with questions, troubleshooting, and guidance.

    After go-live, you receive:

    • Continued access to your Workzoom Liaison and Coach for escalations
    • Early access to upcoming releases in a sandbox environment
    • Clear release notes highlighting changes relevant to your configuration
    • Step-by-step guides, instructional videos, and in-app help
    • All software updates included at no extra cost

    Workzoom rarely requires more than a few minutes of downtime for maintenance. Weekly server restarts take approximately five minutes. New releases are deployed in the background and activated after the regular restart. Get in touch with our team.

  • Start with a demo. We will show you how Workzoom handles the specific workflows you care about, whether that is payroll, scheduling, time tracking, or all of it.

    If it looks like a fit, we will map out an implementation plan, provide questionnaires to capture your policies, and begin data migration. You get a sandbox environment to explore, configure, and validate before going live.

    No long-term commitment required. You can start with just HR and add payroll or workforce later. The $14 cap applies whenever you are ready for the full platform. Book your demo now.
