Capture hours, resolve missed punches and approve time before payroll closes.
Our clients
Use clocking, manual timesheets or configured standard hours. Employees can record project or task time on a timesheet and submit it for manager review.
Review missing punches, early or late clocking and extra time. Correct what happened and record the approval decision rather than reconstructing the week at payroll close.
Configured overtime, premium and meal rules apply to recorded time. Approval and the Time Cut Off Date determine which time the pay run picks up.
Shift workers can clock in and out; timesheet users can enter hours or start and end times. Configured standard hours can populate from a schedule, with additional work recorded as an exception.
Daily Time Batches surface variances against the schedule. A manager can correct a missing punch, review extra time and add notes. On-schedule hours still need the approval required for payroll processing.
Workzoom applies configured daily, weekly and period rules to recorded time, including overtime, premiums and meal deductions.
Your team defines the policy and the employee groups it applies to; a location label does not create a legal rule.
Approved time can reach Workzoom payroll without an export between the modules. The timesheet must align with the payroll period and be approved before the Time Cut Off Date.
Late approval requires adjustment in a later cycle.
Timekeeping policy defines rounding and tolerance rules. Geo tracking records clocking location; geo fencing limits clocking to a permitted range where supported.
These controls support review, rather than guaranteeing attendance or removing the need for corrections.
Every requirement below is handled by the platform on every pay run, not configured per-customer.
Overtime thresholds depend on the applicable employment standards legislation and employee eligibility. Ontario's general rule is overtime pay after 44 hours worked in a week, with exemptions and special rules. Workzoom applies the rule your team configures to captured time; managers review exceptions and approve hours before payroll processing.

Holiday eligibility, calculation and substitution rules depend on the applicable jurisdiction and employee circumstances. Ontario recognizes nine public holidays under the Employment Standards Act. Depending on the applicable rules and agreement, working a holiday can involve premium pay or a substitute holiday. Confirm the entitlement before configuring the calculation.

Ontario's Employment Standards Act requires employers to record the number of hours each employee worked in every day and every week. Workzoom's timekeeping module builds that record automatically from clock punches, schedules or timesheet entry, whichever capture method a team uses.

Capture, correct and approve time before the payroll cutoff.
Mobile, web, biometric, facial recognition, kiosk badge, self-service clocking or manual timesheet entry feed the employee's timesheet.
Configured overtime, premium and meal rules categorize time. Review missing punches and differences between scheduled and recorded hours.
The assigned manager corrects the missed punch or time variance and approves the time. Only approved time can feed payroll.
Approved time reaches the pay run for the aligned period when it arrives before the time cutoff. Later approval requires a subsequent-cycle adjustment.

The story
The story
Different Canadian workforces capture time differently. Office staff can use self-service clocking or manual timesheets. Field teams can use mobile clocking, and shift teams can use configured terminals or kiosk badges. Supervisor corrections follow the review process rather than adding a capture method. Choose methods and location controls around your workforce and privacy policies.
Whichever method captures the punch, the same configured rules engine applies daily, weekly and premium calculations. Ontario's general overtime threshold is 44 hours in a week under the Employment Standards Act, but exemptions and special rules may apply. Validate employee eligibility and the applicable policy before approving time for payroll.
The story
Northern Sunrise County's workforce swings structurally between 90 and 140 employees as summer construction and road maintenance staff up and winter scales the team back down. Different job types used different timesheet formats, a gap the county's prior systems handled inconsistently and that had eroded trust in the numbers.
On Workzoom, the county's Canadian payroll engine, multi-format timekeeping, scheduling, personnel records and leave management run on one platform. The county's first payroll on the new system ran less than three months after the project started, and last-minute corrections that used to take hours now complete in minutes.
The story
Canadian time and attendance software should make variances visible without treating routine time as already approved. Workzoom surfaces daily exceptions for managers to resolve, and only approved hours are included in payroll processing. Test a missed punch, a corrected time entry and an ordinary on-schedule shift to see the full approval path.
With Workzoom Timekeeping and Payroll configured together, approved hours feed the aligned payroll period with the configured time rules applied. Approval must reach payroll before the time cutoff. Payroll administrators still review the resulting pay; connecting the records does not remove that responsibility.
For a synthetic evaluation, use an employee who clocked in but missed the clock-out. Ask the manager to correct the daily exception and approve the time, then compare the categorized timesheet hours with the payroll input. Repeat with approval after the cutoff and confirm which later cycle receives the correction.
