First Nations governance has HR needs that generic platforms were not designed for.
Federal ISC reporting is assembled by hand every year
Indigenous Services Canada requires workforce data that most HR systems cannot produce without manual extraction. Band employment preference tracking, program funding allocations, and community employment counts are assembled from spreadsheets each reporting cycle.
Employees work across multiple communities in the same Nation
A health worker might serve three communities across the territory. A cultural program coordinator might be based in one location and travel to two others. Standard scheduling systems assume one employee works in one place.
Band-specific employment terms are not in any standard HR system
Employment terms for Band employees often differ from provincial standards in areas like housing allowances, seasonal program staffing, and community benefit requirements. Configuring these in a generic platform requires workarounds that break at audit time.
Every year ISC reporting was a three-week project pulling data from payroll, a separate HR file, and a spreadsheet we maintained ourselves. Workzoom tracks Band member employment preference and program allocations as part of the normal payroll run. Our last ISC submission took two days instead of three weeks.
One platform that connects scheduling, compliance, and payroll for Indigenous Government.
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.

Calculate your priceEverything Indigenous Government teams ask before switching.
Yes. Workzoom is configurable to reflect Band employment agreement terms including housing allowances, community benefit requirements, seasonal program staffing rules, and overtime structures that differ from provincial employment standards. Each Band agreement is configured separately.
Yes. Workzoom tracks Band member employment preference by position, program funding allocations, and community employment counts, the data required for Indigenous Services Canada annual labour market reporting. Report templates are configured to match ISC submission formats.
Yes. Workzoom supports employees scheduled across multiple communities within the same organization. Travel assignments, community-specific scheduling, and split-location time tracking are all supported. Managers at each community see only their location; Nation administration sees the whole workforce.
Seasonal and program-funded employees are activated and deactivated by cycle. You pay $4 per active employee per month per suite only while they are active. When a seasonal program ends, those employees are deactivated and stop counting in billing. They are reactivated with their records intact for the next cycle.
Yes. Employees can be coded to specific funding sources at the individual or position level. Payroll allocation reports show costs by program fund and funding source, essential for reconciling contribution agreement expenditures with ISC.
Yes. Workzoom supports bilingual English/French operation for employee-facing modules. Language preference is set at the individual employee level.
