Frequently asked questions

What Trinidad and Tobago employers ask about HR and payroll

What does Workzoom offer for Trinidad and Tobago?

A complete HR and payroll platform built for Trinidadian employers:

  • 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
  • Payroll Suite: Pay processing with NIS, PAYE, Health Surcharge, Green Fund Levy

All four suites available now. One platform, one vendor, one source of truth for your workforce data.

How much does Workzoom cost?

$4 USD per employee per month for each suite. Take what you need:

All four suites together cap at $16 per employee per month. Implementation, training, and ongoing support included. No setup fees. No long-term contracts. Use the calculator above to estimate your cost.

Is Workzoom more affordable than a payroll bureau?

Typically yes. Bureaus in Trinidad charge $8-15 USD per employee for payroll processing alone. Workzoom at $4 USD gives you payroll plus real-time visibility, time clocking that flows directly into pay, and complete HR capabilities.

More importantly, you control your own data. No waiting for the bureau to send reports. Run payroll when you're ready, not when they're available.

Does Workzoom handle NIS, PAYE, Health Surcharge, and Green Fund?

Yes. All Trinidad and Tobago statutory deductions are calculated automatically:

  • NIS: National Insurance contributions (employee and employer portions)
  • PAYE: Pay As You Earn income tax with current thresholds
  • Health Surcharge: Weekly/monthly health contribution
  • Green Fund Levy: Environmental levy on gross pay

Rates update automatically when the Inland Revenue Division or NIBTT makes changes. This is the same compliance approach we use for Bahamas NIB and Canadian CRA requirements.

Does Workzoom generate TD4 forms and statutory filings?

Yes. Workzoom generates TD4 annual statements for employees, NIS contribution reports, PAYE remittance summaries, and all required filings. Data accumulates automatically from each pay run, so year-end is straightforward. Learn about payroll filings.

Which Trinidad banks does Workzoom work with?

Workzoom generates payment files compatible with all major Trinidad and Tobago banks: Republic Bank, Scotiabank, First Citizens, RBC, CIBC FirstCaribbean, and credit unions.

Upload the file to your bank's portal. Employees see funds in their accounts on pay day.

How long does implementation take?

2 to 6 weeks for most organizations. We handle data migration, system configuration, and validation. You test before going live. Implementation is included at no extra cost.

Organizations with complex pay rules or multiple locations may need additional time. Contact us to plan your timeline.

Can we migrate from Excel or a payroll bureau?

Yes. We import your employee data, pay history, and year-to-date amounts so statutory calculations continue correctly. We've done this migration many times for companies moving from spreadsheets, bureaus, and legacy systems in Bahamas and Canada.

You don't lose history. Everything transfers.

What time clocking options are available?

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 as needed.

Can we manage multiple locations across Trinidad and Tobago?

Yes. Port of Spain, San Fernando, Chaguanas, Point Fortin, Scarborough, anywhere. One system for all locations.

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 and information?

Yes. Employee self-service gives your team access to:

  • Current and historical payslips
  • Leave balances and requests
  • Schedules and time clock
  • Personal information updates
  • Tax documents (TD4)

This dramatically reduces HR admin time. No more fielding balance inquiries or chasing down forms.

What industries use Workzoom in the Caribbean?

Energy, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, financial services, healthcare, construction, and professional services. Organizations from 50 employees to 5,000.

If you have shift workers, Workzoom handles complex scheduling. If you have salaried professionals, Workzoom handles performance and career development. Most employers need both.

Where is our data stored?

Amazon Web Services (AWS), the 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 Trinidad changes them. Get in touch.

Where is Workzoom used today?

Workzoom runs payroll in Canada, USA, Bahamas, and Trinidad and Tobago. We also support HR, talent, and workforce management in the UK and Jamaica.
