Workzoom Workforce Suite

Workforce management software that approves the exceptions, not the timesheet.

Every punch checks itself against the schedule, so you see only what changed: the missed punch-out, the no-show, the worked-through lunch.

Workzoom workforce management connects scheduling and time tracking in one pipeline, built for mid-market teams. Shift scheduling and a biometric time clock work off the same data, so a leave request triggers a schedule update, a qualified fill, time capture, exception review, and payroll without manual handoffs. Each step feeds the next, so nothing gets keyed twice and nothing falls between systems.

The schedule says who's working. The clock says who showed up. Coverage lives in the gap between the two, and someone closes it by hand every day. Let the schedule and the clock agree.

Architecture

No sync jobs. No duplicate records.Every module reads the same database.

See how the platform works .No data re-entry between systems.

Schedule to payroll in one unbroken chain

A leave request triggers schedule update, vacancy creation, qualified fill, time capture, exception review, and payroll. No manual handoffs between modules.

Exception-based: only handle what deviates

Workzoom compares every punch to the approved schedule. If it matches, time is pre-approved and flows to payroll. Managers only review the exceptions.

Vacancy fill runs itself

When a shift opens, Workzoom generates a ranked qualified fill list. Supervisors offer the shift vacancy to a qualified replacement, and the accepted shift appears on the schedule. No phone trees.

Questions about Workforce Suite

What the Workforce Suite includes, how it connects to the rest of the platform, and what to expect during setup.

Yes to both. Punches from the time clock flow directly into Workzoom payroll through one shared pipeline. There is no CSV export, no integration middleware, and no manual reconciliation. Overtime is calculated automatically against the rules configured for each employee's work location. Workzoom's rules engine supports daily, weekly, and period-based thresholds plus overtime averaging: set the rule once for each Canadian province, US state, or the Bahamas your team operates in, then every approved punch runs through the right calculation without manual entry. Shift premiums, meal deductions, statutory holiday pay, and double-time premiums layer in by the same rule.
Workzoom does not export time to payroll. There is nothing to export. Approved time flows into payroll calculations in real time because they share the same database. No imports, no batch processing, no period-end scramble. Payroll sees liability building throughout the period. Workforce Suite writes time entries straight into Payroll without an integration layer. Approved time, overtime, and leave reach the pay run in real time, so the same data drives schedules, attendance, and paychecks.
Workzoom flips the approval model. Instead of reviewing every punch, managers only see the ones that deviated from the schedule. Employee scheduled 8 to 4, clocked 8 to 4? Pre-approved. Flows to payroll automatically. Managers handle the exceptions, not the routine. Exception-based approval surfaces only the time entries that fall outside expected patterns: missed punches, overtime, late starts, or unscheduled work. Managers approve exceptions, not every shift.
When a vacancy is created from a leave approval or absence, Workzoom generates a ranked list of qualified employees based on configurable criteria: job title match, required certifications, seniority, and distance. The supervisor offers the shift vacancy to a qualified replacement, who accepts it from their dashboard. Qualified fill matches open shifts against employees who hold the right certifications, availability, and overtime balance. The system offers the shift to qualified people first, ranked by fairness rules.
When a leave request is approved, Workzoom removes the employee from the schedule and creates a vacancy automatically. The system generates a ranked qualified fill list based on job title, certifications, seniority, and distance. Supervisors offer the shift vacancy to a qualified replacement. When a scheduled shift goes vacant, Workzoom surfaces it to qualified standby workers, tracks acceptance, and updates the schedule automatically. Coverage gaps that used to take phone calls now resolve in minutes.
With Workzoom, seven methods: employee self-service, mobile app, web browser, facial recognition, biometric fingerprint, kiosk badge, and manual timesheet entry. Each method captures timestamps that feed into the same exception-based approval workflow, all writing to the same timekeeping ledger.
Workzoom compares every punch against the approved schedule. If an employee was scheduled 8 to 4 and clocked 8 to 4, that time is pre-approved and flows to payroll automatically. Managers only review punches that deviate from the schedule. Exception-based time approval surfaces missed punches, overtime, late starts, and unscheduled work. Managers act only on flagged items rather than reviewing every entry, cutting weekly review time by hours.
Yes. With Workzoom, employees see only the leave types they are entitled to, with current balances and a team calendar showing who is already off. Requests route to the manager for approval, and approved leaves automatically update the schedule. Employees request time off through self-service on web or mobile. Requests flow through configured approval chains, check vacation balances and conflicting coverage, and update the schedule on approval.
Employees can bank overtime hours into PTO balances instead of receiving overtime pay. Workzoom tracks banked time separately from regular entitlements. Employees can request payouts of banked time through self-service. Time banking accumulates overtime or holiday hours into employee-owned balances that can later be redeemed as paid time off or paid out on payroll. Banked balances accrue interest where required by law.
