Shift coverage
Compliance gets the headlines. The architecture is why it actually works on every pay run.
Scheduled shifts flow into timekeeping for actual-versus-planned comparison, and approved hours reach payroll with premiums pre-calculated. No exports, no middleware, no reconciliation step.
Managers can review short punches, unplanned doubles and other time exceptions before approving hours for payroll. Review time depends on the workforce and its configured rules.
Approved leave is visible to scheduling. Managers can review coverage and fill an open shift with a qualified employee; the connected Payroll Suite uses the same leave record.
Every requirement below is handled by the platform on every pay run, not configured per-customer.
Overtime thresholds and premiums depend on the applicable provincial, territorial or federal jurisdiction and employee eligibility. Your team configures those rules in Workzoom, then validates exceptions and pay results before approving a run.
Public holiday eligibility and pay calculations differ by jurisdiction and employee group. Workzoom Payroll uses configured holiday calendars and pay rules on the employee record. Validate the applicable earnings and calculation before approving payroll.
Leave types, accruals and eligibility differ by jurisdiction and policy. Workzoom tracks configured leave rules and dates; your team confirms which obligations apply to each employee group.
Coverage across every building, shift and season is built for long-term care, municipal and multi-site operations. Silvera for Seniors moved 400 staff across 36 Calgary buildings to connected scheduling and self-serve leave on Workzoom.
faster payroll after switching
Northern Sunrise County's first payroll ran on January 15, less than three months after project start, the fastest and most accurate payroll the county had seen, across a seasonal workforce of 90 to 140 employees.
Switching to Workzoom has made managing payroll and timekeeping so much easier. The system is straightforward and works really well. We were able to process our first payroll faster than we expected, and now we feel much more confident in how we're handling everything. It's been a big help.
The story
The story
Canadian workforce management software should hold coverage across sites, shifts and seasons rather than assume one building at a fixed headcount. Silvera for Seniors, a Calgary non-profit, schedules 400 employees across 36 buildings from one system, with time capture and leave flowing into the same schedule.
Northern Sunrise County, a rural Alberta municipality, runs a seasonal workforce that swings from about 90 employees in the slower season to 140 at peak. Its published story describes schedule changes flowing to timekeeping and payroll without requiring a different operating model at each scale.
The story
County of Renfrew, Ontario's largest county, centralized time-off requests for over 900 employees inside Workzoom, replacing disconnected spreadsheets that varied by department. Its published result: 32 new hires onboarded in three months without increasing HR headcount, with safety training and time off running on the same platform.
Approved leave updates the schedule and reaches payroll without a manual step. Evaluate your own leave policy and approval chain against that published workflow before comparing providers.
The story
Overtime thresholds and premiums depend on the applicable provincial, territorial or federal rules and employee eligibility. Configure the rules for each workforce group, then demonstrate an exception and review the calculated pay before approving a run.
Public holidays and pay calculations also vary by jurisdiction and employee group. Workzoom Payroll uses the holiday calendar and pay rules your team configures. Validate the relevant earnings, eligibility and result against the applicable requirements.
The story
The Workforce Suite is $4 CAD per employee per month with a $400 CAD monthly minimum and requires the HR foundation. Payroll and Talent can be added at $4 CAD each. All four suites are $16 CAD per employee per month with a $700 CAD monthly minimum. Implementation, migration, training and support are included; confirm current scope and optional costs.
Bring your own schedule complexity to the evaluation: a multi-site rotation, a seasonal headcount swing or a province-specific leave rule. Ask to see the schedule-to-time-to-pay flow on your own data before comparing providers.
