If you do not know your true labour cost per project, you are estimating every bid.
Labour costs are not allocated to projects until month-end
Field timesheets are collected weekly and re-entered into payroll by cost code manually. By the time project managers see actual labour costs, the project is two weeks further along and over budget with no time to recover.
Safety tickets expire on job sites without warning
Fall protection, confined space, WHMIS, and equipment certifications expire on different schedules tracked in different files. One expired ticket on a Ministry of Labour site inspection is a stop-work order.
Prevailing wage and union reporting is calculated by hand
ICI construction union agreements and certified payroll requirements for public sector projects require detailed labour reporting by classification, hours, and wage rate. Assembling this from paper timesheets every pay period is a full-time job.
Our project managers used to wait until month-end to see where labour costs landed. By then we were already over budget and out of options. With Workzoom, field crews clock time against the project code on their phone. By Wednesday I know exactly where Tuesday's labour landed on every active site. We stopped losing money on projects we could have caught early.
One platform that connects scheduling, compliance, and payroll for Construction.
Credential tracking with automated expiry alerts
Every employee's licenses, certifications, and mandatory training tracked in one place. 30, 60, and 90-day email alerts. Scheduling blocks past expiry so credentialed gaps never reach the floor.
Union-aware payroll
CUPE and non-union premiums apply automatically when payroll runs. No manual calculation.
24/7 shift scheduling
Full-time, part-time, casual, and agency staff in one scheduling view. No separate systems per employment type.
Time flows directly into payroll
No re-entry. Approved timesheets calculate union overtime, stat premiums, and shift differentials automatically. Every pay run is clean from the start. No export, no import, no reconciliation step.
Four suites. One system. $4 per employee per suite.
Start with what you need. Add suites as you grow. No implementation fees, no contracts.

We were running three systems that did not talk to each other. Scheduling in one place, time in another, payroll in a third. Workzoom put it all together. Our managers spend their time on residents, not spreadsheets.

Project structure and certification configuration
Your project cost codes, union classification rules, and safety ticket types are configured before data migration. Crew records, trade certifications, and Red Seal designations are imported from your existing systems.
Field time tracking and payroll parallel run
Field crews use the Workzoom mobile app to clock time against project codes. Payroll runs in parallel for 2 to 3 pay periods, validating union premiums, prevailing wage calculations, and project cost allocations.
Project reporting and go-live
Project labour cost reports and certified payroll exports are configured before go-live. Site supervisors and project managers get role-specific training on the mobile app and cost reporting dashboards.

Calculate your priceEverything Construction teams ask before switching.
Field employees clock in and out against specific project codes from the Workzoom mobile app. Payroll allocation calculates automatically from approved time, assigning labour costs to each project. Project managers can see real-time labour cost reports without waiting for month-end reconciliation.
Yes. Each trade certification is configured with its issuing body, expiry period, and alert thresholds. Workzoom flags expiring tickets at 90, 60, and 30 days and alerts both the employee and their site supervisor. Scheduling can be blocked for employees with expired safety tickets.
Yes. ICI union agreement terms including classification-based wage rates, fringe benefit contributions, overtime structures, and travel allowances are configured in Workzoom and applied automatically. Certified payroll reports for public sector projects are generated in the required format.
Yes. Workzoom's scheduling module supports multi-site deployment with crew assignments by project, trade classification, and certification requirement. Site supervisors see only their site. Operations managers see the full crew deployment across all active projects.
Yes. Union and non-union employees are configured with separate pay rules and reporting requirements. Both appear in the same project scheduling and payroll costing view. Reports can filter by union status for certified payroll reporting.
Workzoom exports project labour cost data in formats compatible with most estimating and accounting platforms including Sage, Viewpoint, and Procore. Specific integration scopes are assessed during implementation.
Apprenticeship designations, trade levels, and sponsoring journeyman assignments are stored in each employee's profile. Workzoom can flag ratio imbalances when scheduling and tracks apprenticeship hour milestones for Red Seal progress reporting. This is particularly useful for ICI contractors managing multiple apprentice classifications across active sites.
Yes. Project completion bonuses, milestone bonuses, and productivity incentives are configured as payroll components in Workzoom and applied to individual employees or crews when approved by a project manager. They process through the regular payroll run with the appropriate tax treatment and appear on the employee's pay stub.
