AThe short answer

Workzoom construction HR software manages project payroll costing by cost code, Red Seal and safety ticket tracking, and multi-site crew scheduling for construction companies across Canada. Field crews clock time against project codes from the Workzoom mobile app, and labour costs appear in project reports the same day without waiting for month-end reconciliation. The platform handles configurable union classification wage rates, certified payroll reporting for public sector projects, and prevailing wage calculations automatically. Workzoom does not currently have a named construction customer in production; the engine has run continuously since 2000 across HR, payroll, workforce, and talent for named customers in Canada, the United States, and the Bahamas. Pricing is $4 per employee per month per suite.

01Modules

The modules that fire most in construction.

Timekeeping
Captures field crew clock-in against specific project codes from the mobile app, with labour cost reports available in real time so project managers know daily where costs are landing on every active site.
Pay Processing
Applies union agreement terms including classification-based wage rates, fringe benefit contributions, overtime structures, and travel allowances automatically, and generates certified payroll reports for public sector projects.
HR Administration
Tracks Red Seal designations, trade certifications, safety tickets, and apprenticeship designations with 90, 60, and 30-day expiry alerts so site supervisors are notified before a lapsed credential triggers a stop-work order.
Scheduling
Manages multi-site crew deployment by project, trade classification, and certification requirement, with site supervisors seeing only their site and operations managers seeing all active projects in one view.
Recruiting
Posts trade-specific roles to a careers page, tracks applicant certifications during screening, and manages digital onboarding for new site hires including safety orientation document completion.
Benefits
Administers union fringe benefit contributions alongside non-union benefit plans within the same payroll run, supporting union and open-shop employment configurations.

02How it works

How construction HR software runs on one record.

01
Project cost codes in field time, not month-end
Field crews assign hours to project codes at the point of clock-in using the Workzoom mobile app. Payroll allocation flows from approved time to project cost reports automatically, giving project managers same-day visibility into labour costs without waiting for a reconciliation cycle.
02
Safety ticket expiry blocks scheduling before a site inspection
Every trade certification is configured with its issuing body, expiry period, and alert thresholds in Workzoom. The scheduling module blocks site assignment for employees with expired fall protection, confined space, or WHMIS certifications, preventing the stop-work order before it happens.
03
Union and non-union in one payroll run
Union employees and open-shop employees are configured with separate pay rules and reporting requirements, but both process in a single payroll cycle. Certified payroll reports for public sector projects are generated in the required format without manual assembly from paper timesheets.

Questions from construction teams

How Workzoom handles the specific HR, payroll, and workforce realities of construction operations.

Field employees clock in and out against specific project codes from the Workzoom mobile app, with GPS geo-fenced job site punching.

Workzoom serves construction companies of 50 or more employees across active project sites.
Yes. Each trade certification is configured in Workzoom with its issuing body, expiry period, and alert thresholds. The platform flags expiring tickets at 90, 60, and 30 days and alerts both the employee and their site supervisor. Scheduling blocks site assignment for workers with expired fall protection, confined space, WHMIS, or working-at-heights tickets, preventing a stop-work order before it happens. This construction HR software gates site assignment on credential status. Workzoom serves construction companies of 50 or more employees managing trade certifications across crews.
Yes. Union agreement terms, including classification-based wage rates, fringe benefit contributions, overtime structures, and travel allowances, are configured in Workzoom and applied automatically each pay run.

Yes. Workzoom's scheduling module supports multi-site deployment with crew assignments by project, trade classification, and certification requirement.

Crews can move between sites without losing scheduling history or credential status. This construction workforce management software keeps multi-site crew deployment visible in one platform. Workzoom serves construction companies of 50 or more employees running concurrent project sites.
Yes. Union and non-union employees are configured with separate pay rules and reporting requirements in Workzoom, and both process in a single payroll cycle.

This construction payroll software handles milestone pay alongside standard wages. Workzoom serves construction companies of 50 or more employees running incentive-based compensation on projects.
