The short answer

Workzoom manufacturing HR software manages rotating shift scheduling, safety certification tracking, and union-aware payroll for plant floor operations across Canada and the United States. It automates overtime and shift premium calculations, tracks WHMIS and forklift license expiry with 30/60/90-day alerts, and flows approved timesheets from mobile clock-in directly into payroll. Workzoom has no named manufacturing customer in production yet; the engine has run continuously since 2000 across rotating shift scheduling, mobile clock-in, and union-rule overtime for named customers in Canada, the US, and the Bahamas. Pricing starts at $4 per employee per month per suite.

How it works

One connected record.How manufacturing HR software runs on it.

01
Safety certification expiry tracked and flagged
Safety certification tracking and scheduling share one database in Workzoom. When a forklift license expires, the scheduling module blocks that employee from safety-critical shifts automatically, without any manual step from supervisors.
02
Time flows directly into payroll
Approved timesheets from the plant floor calculate shift differentials, call-in premiums, and union overtime without re-entry. Every pay run is clean from the start, eliminating the reconciliation step that causes grievances.
03
One employee record across all plants
A single employee record spans HR, scheduling, timekeeping, and payroll across all plant locations. Union agreement terms configured once apply automatically across every pay calculation and scheduling rule.

Questions from manufacturing teams

How Workzoom handles the specific HR, payroll, and workforce realities of manufacturing operations.

Yes. Workzoom supports 8 and 12-hour rotating shifts, continental schedules, and plant-specific coverage rules across multiple plants in one pass. Safety certification-blocked assignment ensures only qualified workers fill safety-critical shifts, and overtime is flagged before the schedule publishes. This takes supervisors off manual roster-building and back onto the floor. This plant scheduling software builds rotating shifts for full-time, part-time, and casual workers in one view. Workzoom serves manufacturers of 50 or more employees running rotating plant floor schedules across locations.
Shift differentials, call-in premiums, and overtime thresholds are configured once in Workzoom and applied automatically to every pay calculation. When agreement terms change, a single update propagates system-wide with no manual recalculation, so a missed premium never becomes a grievance. Union agreement terms set up once apply across every pay run and scheduling rule. This manufacturing payroll software runs every employee type through one union engine. Workzoom serves manufacturers of 50 or more employees managing collective agreement compliance on the plant floor.
Yes. Workzoom tracks forklift licenses, WHMIS, confined space, and mandatory safety training expiry dates per employee, flagging expirations at 30, 60, and 90 days before renewal. Scheduling can be blocked past the expiry date, and an expired certification keeps an unqualified worker off safety-critical shifts automatically. This prevents the production line shutdown that a lapsed credential can cause. This manufacturing workforce management software gates shifts on safety certification status. Workzoom serves manufacturers of 50 or more employees tracking plant floor safety credentials.
No re-entry with Workzoom. Plant floor time from mobile clock-in flows directly into the payroll run, and shift premiums, call-in premiums, and union overtime calculate automatically from approved time. Every pay run is clean from the start, removing the reconciliation step that causes grievances. This connects scheduling, timekeeping, and payroll on one employee record across all plants. This HR software for manufacturers eliminates duplicate time entry. Workzoom serves manufacturers of 50 or more employees running plant floor payroll across locations.
Yes. Each employment type in Workzoom has its own pay rules, benefit eligibility, and scheduling availability in the same system. Full-time, part-time, and casual plant workers are managed on one platform with the correct rules applied automatically, and all three appear in the same rotating schedule view. A single employee record spans HR, scheduling, timekeeping, and payroll. This plant scheduling software handles every worker classification in one system. Workzoom serves manufacturers of 50 or more employees with mixed plant floor workforces.
Most manufacturing clients go live within four to twelve weeks on Workzoom (twelve to thirty-six for large or complex rollouts), depending on size, scope, and how quickly your team can meet and decide, running both systems in parallel for 2 to 4 pay periods before the switch. Implementation migrates employee data, safety certifications, union agreement terms, and pay history, and your payroll team validates every parallel run until the numbers match exactly. Plant floor staff then receive role-based training. This HR software for manufacturers keeps go-live low-risk through parallel validation. Workzoom serves manufacturers of 50 or more employees.
