Yes. Statutory holiday pay is one of the most common compliance mistakes Canadian employers make - and one of the most expensive, as several major class action lawsuits against Canadian companies have centred on incorrect holiday pay calculations.

Workforce.com automatically calculates statutory holiday pay based on provincial rules. Because formulas vary by province - for example, Ontario calculates public holiday pay as 1/20th of regular wages plus any vacation pay earned in the four work weeks before the holiday - the system applies the correct calculation for each employee based on their province of work.

For employees who work on a statutory holiday, Workforce.com also automatically applies the applicable premium rate on top of their regular holiday pay, and tracks hours worked to ensure everything feeds correctly into payroll.

Yes. Overtime rules in Canada are among the most complex compliance challenges for employers, particularly those operating across multiple provinces - and Workforce.com is built to handle them automatically.

Overtime thresholds vary significantly by province. Ontario kicks in after 44 hours per week, British Columbia applies both daily thresholds (after 8 hours) and weekly (after 40 hours), Alberta uses an 8-hour daily and 44-hour weekly rule, while Nova Scotia and PEI don't require overtime until 48 hours per week. BC also applies double time after 12 hours in a day - a rule that catches many employers off guard.

Workforce.com automatically applies the correct overtime thresholds and rates based on each employee's location, so you're never manually calculating which rules apply to which staff member. When an employee approaches their overtime threshold, managers receive a real-time alert so they can step in before overtime kicks in.

For businesses with variable schedules, Workforce.com also supports averaging agreements - allowing hours to be averaged across an agreed period so that employees working irregular patterns are calculated correctly under provincial rules.

For businesses operating across multiple provinces, each location can be configured to reflect the employment standards that apply there - meaning your Ontario staff and your BC staff are calculated correctly, automatically, without any manual adjustments between provinces.

Yes. Workforce.com automatically notifies managers when an employee misses a clock-in or clock-out for their scheduled shift. Employees also receive reminders on the mobile app if they forget to punch in or out, helping catch missing time entries before they cause payroll errors.

You can configure alerts by role - so managers, admins, or employees receive the right notifications for their level. A configurable grace period means alerts only trigger after a set window of time, reducing noise from minor late arrivals.

Employees can also correct their own missing punches through the self-service mobile app, with changes sent to their manager for approval - keeping timesheets accurate without the back-and-forth.

Yes. Time theft is one of the most common hidden costs for businesses with hourly employees, and Workforce.com is built to close the loopholes that allow it to happen.

Selfie clock-ins and unique passcodes make buddy punching virtually impossible - only the right person can clock in for their own shift. GPS tracking and geofencing verify that employees are physically at their designated worksite when they punch in, which is particularly useful for businesses with staff working across multiple locations or out in the field.

Break tracking ensures employees clock out and back in for breaks, preventing unauthorised extended breaks from going unnoticed. And because scheduled hours are compared against actual punch times in real time, managers can spot and address discrepancies before they reach payroll.

Together, these controls mean you are only paying for the hours your employees actually worked.

Payroll errors almost always start before payroll runs - they come from inaccurate or incomplete time data. Workforce.com addresses this by ensuring time data is clean and verified long before a pay run begins.

Scheduled shifts are linked directly to actual clock-in and clock-out times, so any discrepancy is immediately visible. Timesheets that match scheduled hours can be auto-approved, while those with variances are flagged for manager review - meaning issues get caught and corrected early, not discovered after employees have already been paid.

The system also automatically accounts for overtime, breaks, PTO, and different pay rates across roles - all calculated without manual input. Because scheduling, time tracking, and payroll all live in the same platform, there is no manual data export or re-entry between systems, which removes one of the most common sources of payroll error.

For Canadian employers, this is particularly valuable. With overtime rules and pay requirements varying by province, having a system that automatically applies the correct rates based on where and when your employees work means you can process payroll with confidence.

No. Workforce.com is entirely web-based, so there is no hardware to purchase.

Employees can clock in and out in two ways. The first is through the Workforce.com mobile app on their own iOS or Android device - using selfie verification and GPS to confirm their identity and location. The second is through a kiosk app, which you can download onto any existing tablet and set up on-site as a shared clock-in point. Staff use unique PIN codes and photo identification to clock in and out securely.

Both options give you the same accurate, verified time data - without the cost or maintenance of dedicated hardware.

Workforce.com tackles overtime at two points - during scheduling, and during the shift itself.

During scheduling, demand forecasting helps managers build shifts based on expected workload, so you're not overstaffing or understaffing from the start. The system also flags any shift that would put an employee into overtime before it's published, giving managers the chance to adjust before it becomes a problem.

During the shift, managers receive real-time alerts when an employee is approaching their overtime threshold - giving them time to intervene before overtime kicks in. Employees can also receive their own reminders if they haven't clocked out, helping prevent accidental overtime at the end of a shift.

For Canadian employers, this is particularly valuable given that overtime rules vary by province - some calculate overtime daily, others weekly. Workforce.com automatically applies the correct overtime thresholds based on your location, so you're always calculating to the right standard.

Yes - and the two work best when used together.

The time and attendance module on its own focuses on recording hours - tracking clock-ins, clock-outs, breaks, and generating payroll-ready timesheets. Scheduling is a separate but fully connected module within the same platform.

When you pair them together, scheduled shifts feed directly into time and attendance, so the system can automatically compare what was planned against what actually happened. This gives managers real-time visibility into wage and hour variances, attendance patterns, and overtime risks - all in one place, with no manual data entry between systems.

You can build schedules using drag-and-drop templates, auto-scheduling, or demand forecasting based on historical data. Staff are notified of their shifts via the mobile app and can request time off, swap shifts, and view their schedules from their phone.

For Canadian businesses, the scheduling module also automatically applies provincial rules around minimum hours between shifts, rest periods, and maximum weekly hours - so every schedule you publish is compliant from the start.
