AThe short answer

Workzoom automotive dealership HR software manages flat-rate technician pay, commission-based sales payroll, and F&I compliance training tracking for dealer groups across North America. The platform imports flat-rate hours from your dealer management system via file-based import, calculates commission plans including chargeback adjustments, and tracks OEM compliance training completions by role and renewal deadline across all rooftops. Workzoom does not currently have a named automotive dealership customer in production; the engine has run continuously since 2000 across multi-location payroll, commission pay, and credential tracking for named customers in Canada, the United States, and the Bahamas. Pricing is $4 per employee per month per suite with no per-rooftop or per-location fees.

01Modules

The modules that fire most in automotive.

Pay Processing
Processes flat-rate, commission, salary, and hourly pay structures in a single payroll cycle, importing flat-rate hours from the dealer management system via file-based import and applying minimum wage top-up rules automatically where required by provincial employment standards.
HR Administration
Manages F&I compliance training records across all rooftops with configurable expiry alerts by role and OEM requirement, so the first time management knows a finance manager is lapsed is not during an audit.
Scheduling
Manages service, sales, and admin staff scheduling across multiple rooftops with location-level access controls, so store managers see only their location while group HR and controllers see the full organization.
Timekeeping
Captures clock-in and tracks hours for hourly and salaried staff, with flat-rate hours imported from the dealer management system via file-based import or entered by service advisors each pay period and multiplied by each technician's pay scale automatically.
Recruiting
Posts open roles to a careers page across all rooftops from a central HR function, managing onboarding documentation and OEM required training assignment before a new hire's first day on the floor.
Performance
Tracks training completions, expiry, and recertification schedules for F&I managers, sales consultants, and service advisors with alerts sent to the employee and their manager ahead of renewal deadlines.
