The Single-Record HRIS vs MyHR+

MyHR+ runs Jamaica's public sector. Workzoom runs everyone else.

MyHR+ is the Government of Jamaica's internal HR and payroll system for public-sector workers, not a product sold to private businesses. Workzoom is the commercial platform for private Caribbean employers.

AThe short answer

MyHR+ and Workzoom serve different markets. MyHR+ is the Government of Jamaica's public-sector HR and payroll system, operated by the GoJ for ministries, departments, and agencies; it is a government system, not a product sold to private employers. Workzoom is a commercial HR, payroll, workforce, and talent platform for private-sector employers with 50 to 5,000 employees across the Caribbean and North America, with live Bahamas NIB payroll and statutory engines built to handle the wider Caribbean. A Jamaican public-sector entity uses MyHR+; a private Caribbean or Canadian employer comparing options would evaluate Workzoom.

If you searched for MyHR+ expecting a product to buy, here is the reality: MyHR+ is the Government of Jamaica's internal HR and payroll system for public-sector workers. A private business cannot license it.

Private Caribbean employers need a commercial platform built for their compliance and their scale. Workzoom runs live Bahamas payroll, scheduling, time clocking, and talent on a single employee record, proven in production at Cable Bahamas and Island Luck.

Why Workzoom

Where Workzoom stands out.

Full platform, not HR-only

Workzoom includes payroll processing, workforce scheduling, time clocking, and talent management on one employee record, so a private Caribbean employer runs the full stack in a single login instead of stitching together a separate payroll provider, a scheduling tool, and a learning system.

Live Bahamas payroll, proven in production

Workzoom runs live Bahamas payroll natively, with Bahamian National Insurance Board contributions, the NIB insurable earnings ceiling, C10 reporting, and direct deposit calculated inside every cycle. Two of the country's larger employers run it today: Cable Bahamas processes payroll for 850 employees across Nassau and the Family Islands, cutting processing from 5 days to 1.5, and Island Luck runs eight payroll streams per week across more than 60 gaming locations.

Multi-country on one login

Workzoom runs live payroll in Canada, the United States, and the Bahamas on a single employee record, with statutory engines built to handle the wider Caribbean (Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Antigua, Anguilla) and HR plus Talent for the United Kingdom. A Caribbean group with operations spanning islands or spanning the Caribbean and North America runs one record, not a separate vendor per jurisdiction.

Scheduling and timekeeping for shift workforces

Retail, hospitality, telecom, and gaming operators run hourly workforces that need shift scheduling tied to the clock tied to pay. Island Luck deployed facial recognition clocks across all 60-plus sites, feeding hours straight into payroll with overtime and holiday rules applied automatically.

Transparent pricing

$4 per employee per month per suite. Published, no surprises, no long-term contracts. The full HR plus Payroll plus Workforce plus Talent stack is $16 per employee per month, the same rate in year one and year five, so a private employer can run the math before a vendor call.

One implementation team, support included

The team that configures your statutory rules and pay groups stays with the account after go-live, with support included in the per-employee price and no tiered support packages. Training is part of implementation, not a separate add-on. Cable Bahamas has run all four suites on Workzoom since December 2021 on this model.

What I like most about Workzoom is how it streamlines payroll operations by centralizing employee data, timesheets, approvals, and reporting in one system. It reduces manual work and makes it easier to manage payroll and employee records efficiently.

MyHR+

Not for sale

government system

MyHR+ is the Government of Jamaica's internal public-sector HR and payroll platform, restricted to public-sector entities and not sold to private businesses, so it has no commercial pricing.

Workzoom pricing is exact and publicly listed. MyHR+ pricing shown above is based on publicly available information only. It does not reflect private deals, volume discounts, or negotiated enterprise rates. If you have a MyHR+ quote, bring it to your walkthrough and we will compare it directly.

The honest fit

Who Workzoom is for, and who it is not.

Picking the right system is as much about ruling out a wrong fit as finding a right one. Here is where Workzoom fits, and where it does not.

Built for you

Workzoom is the right call if

  • You have 50 to 5,000 employees and want HR, payroll, workforce, and talent on one employee record.

  • You operate across the Caribbean, Canada, the US, or some mix of them, and want one system instead of two.

  • You want your own team running payroll, with Workzoom specialists configuring your statutory rules and staying on after go-live.

  • You want published, predictable per-employee pricing you can model on day one.

  • You want named-client proof with real production numbers, not a logo wall.

Be honest with yourself

Workzoom is not the fit if

  • You want payroll handled for you by a bureau.

    Workzoom is the platform your own team runs: it calculates and prepares statutory output, and your team submits. If you would rather hand payroll off entirely, a managed-payroll service is the better fit, not us.

  • You are a 20,000-plus employee global enterprise needing deep multi-entity configuration and a large consultant programme.

    That is Workday and SAP SuccessFactors territory, and we are honest about it. Workzoom is built for the 50 to 5,000 range where fit, speed, and a real relationship beat raw configuration depth.

What Workzoom covers

Workzoom is a full platform for private Caribbean employers: live Bahamas payroll, shift scheduling with biometric and GPS clocking, and performance, learning, career, and succession planning on the same employee record as HR. MyHR+ is not an option for private businesses; it is the Government of Jamaica's internal public-sector system, so a private employer comparing options is choosing among commercial platforms, and Workzoom runs the full stack in one login.
Workzoom processes live Bahamas payroll natively (NIB contributions, the insurable earnings ceiling, C10 reporting, direct deposit) with statutory engines built to handle the wider Caribbean (NIS, NHT, PAYE, Health Surcharge), runs shift scheduling with biometric and GPS clocking, and runs performance, learning, career, and succession planning on the same employee record as HR. It is the full HR, payroll, workforce, and talent stack on one record, run in one login instead of stitching together a separate payroll provider, a scheduling tool, and a learning system.
Yes. Workzoom runs a single employee record with live payroll in Canada, the United States, and the Bahamas, and statutory engines built to handle the wider Caribbean (Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Antigua, Anguilla, the Cayman Islands) plus HR and Talent for the United Kingdom, so a group spanning islands or spanning the Caribbean and North America runs one record instead of a separate vendor per jurisdiction.
Yes, and more. Workzoom supports the Bahamas, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, and Anguilla, plus Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Live payroll today is Canada, the United States, and the Bahamas; the wider Caribbean runs on statutory engines built to handle each market's rules under the launch-partner program.

Proof and Caribbean track record

Cable Bahamas, a multi-brand Bahamian telecom operator, has run all four Workzoom suites on one employee record since December 2021 across 850 employees in Nassau and the Family Islands, cutting payroll processing from 5 days to 1.5. Island Luck, the Bahamas' largest licensed gaming and lottery operator, runs Workzoom across more than 60 locations for 850 employees, processing eight payroll cycles per week with Bahamian NIB rules applied automatically. Both are named, in-production references, not pilots.
Island Luck processes eight payroll cycles every week across several companies under one umbrella: weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and bonus runs, each with Bahamian National Insurance Board contributions calculated automatically. Facial recognition clocks deployed across all 60-plus sites feed hours straight into payroll, and overtime and holiday rules apply automatically across staffing groups. This is the multi-frequency, multi-site envelope a core-HR platform does not address.
Bahamian National Insurance Board contributions, the NIB insurable earnings ceiling, C10 reporting, and direct deposit are calculated inside every pay cycle. Workzoom does not file with the government on the client's behalf; it calculates and prepares the statutory output, and the client submits it. Cable Bahamas and Island Luck both run this NIB engine in production.

Switching and pricing

Workzoom is $4 per employee per month per suite. The full platform (HR, Payroll, Workforce, Talent) is $16 per employee per month, with no setup fees and no long-term contracts. The published rate is the rate in year one and year five. MyHR+ has no commercial pricing because it is a government system, not a product on the market.
Yes. Workzoom imports employee profiles, organizational hierarchy, leave balances, and document metadata from spreadsheet or system exports, and runs a parallel pay period for the payroll module so finance can validate gross-to-net before cutover. Standard Caribbean implementation runs 4 to 8 weeks depending on module count and pay-group complexity.
The same implementation team stays with the account after go-live, with support included in the per-employee price and no tiered support packages. Training is part of the implementation, not a separate add-on. Clients on Workzoom continue working with the people who configured their statutory rules and pay groups, which is the operating model that wins consolidation deals against larger Caribbean-adjacent vendors.
Most Caribbean migrations run 4 to 8 weeks depending on module count and pay-group complexity. Existing HR and payroll data imports cleanly into Workzoom's unified employee record, and the payroll module runs a parallel pay cycle so finance can validate before full cutover. Workzoom's implementation team has built its Caribbean migration playbook on real rollouts including Cable Bahamas and Island Luck.
