02Inside the platform
What Trinidadian employers run on Workzoom.
Employee self-service, admin dashboards, timesheets, and reports. One login covers the entire team, on any device.
Admin Dashboard
Headcount, turnover, and workforce trends update in real time. Your HR team sees the entire Trinidadian operation on one screen, with every location rolled up automatically.
Organization Chart
The chart maps positions, not people. When someone leaves, the role stays in place along with the certifications and compliance requirements attached to it. Reorganizations stop being chaos.
Timekeeping
Employees clock in from the web, their phone, or a biometric device. Hours flow straight into payroll with overtime already calculated, so the pay run runs without surprises.
Leave Management
Requests come in from a phone, managers approve in a tap, and balances update everywhere at once. By the time payroll opens, accruals and deductions are already reconciled.
Payroll Financial Reports
Pay run summaries, deduction breakdowns, and remittance totals live in one report. Every line ties back to a calculation, and every calculation ties back to a record. Built for the way finance teams actually audit.
Benefits Administration
Enrollment, coverage, and plan management share the same employee record that runs payroll. The moment someone enrolls, deductions are already wired in. No duplicate entry, nothing to reconcile later.
Which Trinidad and Tobago banks does Workzoom support for direct deposit?
Direct deposit is part of full Trinidad and Tobago gross-to-net, which is on our roadmap. Today Workzoom calculates pay to gross and exports your time and leave data so your existing payroll generates the direct-deposit file your bank expects. Workzoom never holds, pools, or impounds the money.

A 200-employee organization using all four suites pays $3,200 per month with no setup fees and no contracts.
Core Suite (required, $4 per employee per month)
The Core suite is the Workzoom platform itself. Every subscription starts here. It includes three portals: an admin portal for HR teams, a manager portal for supervisors, and an employee self-service portal for staff. Core includes recruiting, onboarding, personnel records, organizational charts and position management, compensation management, employee engagement surveys, document storage with e-signatures, and reporting and analytics. All other suites build on top of Core.

There are no per-payroll-run fees, no per-report fees, and no per-user license fees beyond the per-employee pricing.

06How it works
What running payroll in Trinidad and Tobago actually requires
NIS rate hikes, BIR reporting, Health Surcharge tiers, and Green Fund Levy all make specific demands of the system behind the payroll run. Here is what Workzoom's architecture handles so your team does not have to.
Single database. No sync required.
HR, Workforce, Payroll, and Talent share one employee record. When a rate changes in HR, payroll reads it immediately. No sync job between modules, no export to a separate payroll system, no reconciliation step between timekeeping and pay.
Built for NIS at current rates.
NIS in T&T is 4.2% employee and 8.4% employer, with combined rates rising to 16.2% in 2026 and 19.2% in 2027. Workzoom Payroll is built to handle these rates and the insurable earnings ceiling, rolling out through our launch partner program.
Date-effective design for PAYE and Health Surcharge.
Every record is date-stamped. The engine is built so a backdated salary adjustment flows into a prior pay period with the correct PAYE bracket and Health Surcharge tier, not reconstructed in a spreadsheet.
Built for BIR reporting.
TD4 annual return data, monthly PAYE and Health Surcharge schedules, and full audit documentation. TTD currency formatting and a compliant pay stub layout are part of the T&T design, rolling out through our launch partner program.
Position-based management for multi-site operators.
Positions exist independently of the people filling them. Industrial safety certifications, hospitality permits, and professional licenses attach to the position, not just the individual. Compliance alerts fire before credentials lapse.
Data hosted in Canada, governed by Canadian law.
All data is hosted on AWS in Montreal, operated by Nortek Solutions Inc. (Workzoom's parent company). Canadian federal privacy law governs. No third-country data transfers unless you operate in those countries.
07b Statutory rates
Statutory payroll rates for Trinidad & Tobago
Current employee and employer contribution rates, ceilings, and thresholds set by the issuing authority. Workzoom configures and maintains these rates in the platform, reviewed quarterly and on every statutory change, so payroll runs use the current values.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| T&T NIS combined employee+employer contribution | 16.2% | 2026 | National Insurance Board of Trinidad and Tobago | |
| T&T health surcharge per employee per week | $8.25 weekly | 2026 | BIR | |
