AThe short answer

Workzoom time and attendance software captures hours worked, applies pay rules automatically, and feeds approved time to payroll. It is exception based: it compares actual punches against the approved schedule and flags only discrepancies, so managers typically spend under 60 seconds a day on approvals instead of hours at period-end. Overtime, shift premiums, meal break deductions, and job costing calculate automatically, and because time and attendance software is built into the HRIS with payroll integration, approved time cards flow straight into payroll with no export, supporting compliance for shift management. Workzoom time and attendance software fits employers with 50 to 5,000 employees.

The real problem

Where time and attendance breaks down today

03 pain points

Most of the review is confirming time that matched the schedule. The exceptions that actually need attention are buried in the noise.

The Workzoom answer

Workzoom Timekeeping uses exception-based approval. Actual punches compare to the approved schedule automatically and managers only handle the discrepancies, in about 60 seconds a day.

Workforce Suite

Period-end takes sixty seconds a day, not hours.

Every Workzoom suite runs on one employee record, so timekeeping stays current with payroll, HR, workforce, and talent without an export or an integration to maintain.

Benefits

Why Timekeeping?

No Overtime Surprises in Payroll

Timekeeping rules apply in real time as hours accumulate, and actual hours compare to the schedule automatically. Managers see variances and overtime risk as it develops, not after the pay run has already processed the cost.

Every Team Has a Clocking Method That Works

With 7 built-in methods including biometric, mobile GPS, web, and kiosk, every workforce from field crews to office staff to shop floor workers can clock in accurately. Free mobile options are included so there are no additional costs for remote employees.

Approved Hours Reach Payroll Without a Handoff

Timesheets approved by supervisors flow directly to payroll with overtime and premiums pre-calculated through one pipeline. There are no CSV exports, no middleware, and no manual reconciliation between time and pay data after every pay period.

How it works

How time and attendance software runs in production.

01 TIME RULES ENGINE

Apply daily, weekly, and premium time rules automatically

Workzoom applies overtime, shift premium, and period-based accounting rules automatically to every hour captured. Every timesheet is compared to the scheduled shift in real time so variances are flagged before they reach payroll, not discovered after the pay run closes.

  • Daily, weekly, and period-based accounting rules applied automatically
  • Shift premium calculations for afternoon, night, and custom differentials
  • Actual hours compared to scheduled shifts in real time
  • Variances flagged before timesheets reach payroll for review

02 7 CLOCKING METHODS

Capture time accurately for every team and every work environment

Workzoom supports 7 built-in clocking methods including biometric fingerprint and facial recognition, mobile GPS, web punch, kiosk mode, and proximity cards. Free mobile options are included with every plan so field teams clock in from any device without extra cost.

  • Mobile app for iOS and Android with GPS geo-fencing
  • Biometric fingerprint and facial recognition terminals
  • Web clock through any browser and kiosk mode for shared devices
  • All 7 methods feed into the same timesheet and payroll pipeline

03 TIMESHEET MANAGEMENT

Timesheets populate automatically from punches, schedules, or approved leaves

Workzoom supports multiple timesheet layouts by time type, project, job, or task and populates them automatically from clock punches, staff schedules, or approved leaves. Supervisors review and approve before anything reaches payroll, with geo-fenced mobile clocking confirming location.

  • Multiple timesheet layouts: by time type, project, job, task, or start and end times
  • Geo-fenced mobile clocking for location-verified punches
  • Supervisor review and approval required before time reaches payroll
  • Timesheets route to the right supervisor automatically based on org structure

04 PAYROLL CONNECTION

Approved time flows to payroll with rules already applied

Workzoom connects timekeeping and payroll through one shared pipeline. Approved timesheets flow directly to payroll with no CSV export, no integration middleware, and no manual data entry. Time rules including overtime and premiums are applied before the timesheet reaches payroll so pay calculations use clean data.

  • Approved hours feed directly to payroll with no CSV or middleware
  • Overtime and shift premiums calculated before time reaches payroll
  • Department transfers mid-period update payroll allocation automatically
  • No reconciliation between separate time and payroll systems

05 CLOCK PUNCH RULES

Handle rounding, thresholds, and early arrival automatically

Workzoom lets you define how clock punches are handled, including rounding intervals, early and late thresholds, minimum time between punches, and what qualifies as clocking in early versus starting a new shift. These rules apply automatically so raw punch data is clean before it reaches the timesheet.

  • Configurable rounding intervals for clock-in and clock-out punches
  • Early and late thresholds that distinguish early arrivals from new shifts
  • Minimum interval rules between consecutive punches
  • Consistent time accounting enforced automatically across the organization

08Frequently asked

What teams ask before turning on Timekeeping.

Specifics on how Workzoom timekeeping works, what it costs, and how it connects to the rest of the platform.

Yes to both. Punches from the time clock flow directly into Workzoom payroll through one shared pipeline. There is no CSV export, no integration middleware, and no manual reconciliation. Overtime is calculated automatically against the rules configured for each employee's work location. Workzoom's rules engine supports daily, weekly, and period-based thresholds plus overtime averaging: set the rule once for each Canadian province, US state, or the Bahamas your team operates in, then every approved punch runs through the right calculation without manual entry. Shift premiums, meal deductions, statutory holiday pay, and double-time premiums layer in by the same rule.
Workzoom's timekeeping software captures, manages, and processes work hours for payroll. It replaces paper timesheets and manual calculations with automated time collection through clock punches, electronic timesheets, or a combination of both. Because timekeeping is built into the HRIS, captured time is automatically compared to the schedule, run through daily, weekly, and premium rules, and fed to payroll without exports or manual reconciliation.
Workzoom timesheets flow directly to payroll processing once approved. There is no CSV export, no integration middleware, and no manual data entry. Time rules including overtime, premiums, and daily accounting are applied before the timesheet reaches payroll so pay calculations are based on clean, rule-processed hours.
Workzoom supports 7 clocking methods: mobile app for iOS and Android, biometric fingerprint and facial recognition terminals, GPS geo-fencing for location-verified punches, kiosk mode for shared devices, web clock through the browser, proximity cards, and manual timesheet entry. Free mobile options are included with every plan and all methods feed into the same timesheet and payroll pipeline.
Workzoom supports daily accounting rules, weekly overtime calculations, and period-based rules. You can define shift premium rules based on time of day, such as afternoon or night shift differentials. Rules are applied automatically to timesheets so supervisors manage exceptions rather than reviewing every line.
Workzoom compares actual hours worked against the planned schedule in real time because scheduling and timekeeping live in the same system. Variances are flagged automatically so managers can see who came in early, left late, missed a shift, or worked unscheduled overtime. Standalone time trackers cannot do this because they have no scheduling module to compare against.
Workzoom offers multiple timesheet layouts including by time type, by project, by job or task, and by start and end time or total hours. Timesheets can be populated automatically from clock punches, from staff schedules, or from approved leaves. Employees submit timesheets on a set frequency and they are routed to supervisors for review and approval before reaching payroll.
Workzoom's timekeeping is built into the HRIS so every captured hour has full context. The system knows who the employee is, what they were scheduled for, which rules apply to their role and location, and where the approved time should go in payroll. There is no integration to maintain, no data to export, and no reconciliation between separate systems.
Workzoom lets you define rules for how clock punches are handled, including rounding intervals, early and late thresholds, minimum time between punches, and what qualifies as clocking in early versus starting a new shift. These rules are applied automatically so raw punch data is cleaned and standardized before it reaches the timesheet, eliminating manual punch corrections.
