Process payroll 70% faster

Payroll processing software automates the calculation, distribution, and reporting of employee pay. It handles gross-to-net calculations, tax withholdings, statutory deductions, direct deposit, and government filings. Instead of manual spreadsheets or disconnected tools, payroll software like Workzoom centralizes everything in one system. Time data, HR changes, and benefit deductions flow into the pay run automatically, reducing errors and saving hours per cycle.

Workzoom processes payroll across Canada, the United States, and the Bahamas from one platform. Each country has its own tax rules, statutory deductions, and filing requirements built in. Canadian payroll handles CPP, EI, and provincial tax. US payroll covers federal and state-specific compliance. Bahamas payroll automates NIB contributions. You manage all of it from a single dashboard without switching systems or reconciling data between tools.

Workzoom calculates federal income tax, provincial and state income tax, CPP and EI (Canada), Social Security and Medicare (US), NIB (Bahamas). Employer and employee portions are split automatically. Contribution rates update when regulations change. Year-end filings like T4s, W-2s, and ROEs are generated directly from payroll data.

Because Workzoom's timekeeping and payroll modules share the same database, approved timesheets feed directly into pay runs. There is no export, import, or manual data transfer. Clock-ins from biometric devices, mobile clocking, or web time entry flow into timekeeping. Overtime is calculated based on your rules. Shift differentials and holiday pay are applied automatically. When you start a pay run, all approved time data is already there. Organizations with 24/7 operations use this connection across multiple locations with biometric clocks feeding directly into scheduled payroll runs.

Yes. You define pay groups for weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, or custom schedules. Each runs independently with the correct tax treatment and statutory calculations. Organizations running multiple schedules process weekly payroll for hourly staff, bi-weekly for salaried employees, monthly for executives, and ad-hoc bonus runs. All from the same system, all with accurate deductions per schedule. You can also run parallel pay runs for testing before going live with a new schedule.

When a raise, promotion, or compensation adjustment happens mid-cycle, the change is made once in the HR module and automatically reflected in the next payroll run. Workzoom applies the new rate from the effective date, prorates if necessary, and recalculates all dependent deductions. Last-minute adjustments that used to take hours of manual rework now take minutes. Northern Sunrise County cited this as one of the biggest time savings after implementation. County of Renfrew (900 employees) onboarded 32 employees in 3 months with zero paper, all with compensation data flowing directly into payroll.

Workzoom generates journal entries from every pay run that map to your chart of accounts. These can be exported or integrated with your accounting software. Payroll reporting includes gross dollar distribution by value type, timekeeping amounts by worker class, and period-over-period comparison. Every report pulls from the same data that powers your pay runs, so numbers are always consistent between payroll and finance.

Workzoom's Payroll Suite is $4 per employee per month. No setup fees and no long-term contracts. If you also need HR, Workforce, and Talent, the full platform is $16 per employee per month. For a 200-employee business, that is $800/month for payroll or $3,200/month for the complete platform. See full pricing details here.

Workzoom is a single database. HR, Payroll, Workforce, and Talent all share one employee record. There is no sync job between modules. When you update an employee's rate in HR, payroll sees it immediately. No export, no import, no reconciliation step. Most payroll errors in multi-system setups happen at the integration layer. Workzoom eliminates that layer entirely.

Date-effective processing means every change is stored with a date stamp, and the system automatically applies the right value for the right pay period. If you backdate a salary change by three weeks, the correction flows into the next pay run automatically without manual recalculation. For Caribbean employers, this is particularly important for NIB and NIS rate adjustments: when statutory rates change mid-year, the correct rate applies from the effective date without your team rebuilding affected pay periods in a spreadsheet.
