02What you'll learn
What you'll take away from this session.
This recorded session is built for HR directors, payroll managers, and finance leaders at healthcare, long-term care, and community-services organizations with 50 to 5,000 employees in Canada and the Caribbean. It is practitioner-led, vendor-neutral in approach, and focused on the work that actually eats your week. Here is what you'll take away.
- Schedule once, pay from the same record How care-sector teams connect shift scheduling to time and pay so a built schedule flows straight into the pay run, instead of being re-entered by hand in a second system.
- Statutory compliance you don't chase Why keeping current with provincial employment standards, statutory holiday pay, and overtime rules matters most in 24/7 operations, and what to look for so those rules apply automatically rather than by manual lookup.
- Paying a mixed and seasonal workforce Practical ways to handle full-time, part-time, casual, and seasonal staff (and the different pay rules each can carry) without spinning up a separate process for every group.
- Cutting the manual rekeying Where the duplicate data entry usually hides between HR, scheduling, time, and payroll, and how community-services teams remove the rekeying that creates both errors and lost hours every pay cycle.
- What the move looked like at Silvera for Seniors Crystal Murray's first-hand account of running HR and payroll for roughly 400 staff across 36 Calgary buildings: what was hard, what changed, and what she would tell a peer evaluating their stack.
- Questions to bring to any vendor A short, neutral checklist for HR and finance leaders to pressure-test any HR and payroll platform against the realities of healthcare and community-services work before they commit.
About the speakers.
Crystal Murray
Silvera for Seniors
Crystal Murray leads this session from inside Silvera for Seniors, a Calgary-based seniors housing and community-services organization that runs HR and payroll for roughly 400 staff across 36 buildings. In the recording she walks through the day-to-day realities her team manages: shift-based care work, a mix of full-time and part-time staff, and the payroll and compliance load that comes with a 24/7 community-services operation. Her perspective is the practitioner's, not the vendor's: what actually broke, what they fixed, and how the team thinks about reducing manual work without losing accuracy.
