Time and attendance is the capture and validation of when employees work. It includes clocking, scheduling, breaks, overtime, and approvals. Approved hours flow directly into payroll. Workzoom captures time through multiple methods: facial recognition, fingerprint biometric, mobile app, GPS geo-fencing, kiosk, and web, with no exports between time and pay.
How Time and attendance works.
Time and attendance captures when employees worked, applies the rules that turn raw punches into payable time, then hands the result to payroll. The rules layer is where the complexity sits: rounding, grace periods, break deduction, shift differentials, and overtime thresholds that may be daily, weekly, or averaged across a period. Identical punch data produces different pay under different rule sets.
Where Time and attendance goes wrong.
- Rounding rules that are lawful in one jurisdiction applied to employees in another.
- Timesheets approved after payroll has calculated, so corrections land a period late.
- Breaks deducted automatically where the jurisdiction requires evidence the break was actually taken.
- 2000 Running payroll since Workzoom has run Canadian payroll for 25+ years.
- Canadian data residency AWS Canada (ca-central-1). Canadian customer data stays in Canada.
- SOC 2-aligned controls Encrypted at rest, role-based access, immutable audit logs.
- Trusted in production County of Renfrew, Silvera for Seniors, and Cable Bahamas. Built for 50 to 5,000 employees.
