Every shift covered.
Every rule enforced.
Every hour payroll-ready.
One platform for demand forecasting, scheduling, time, leave, and compliance. Built for frontline, unionized, multi-jurisdiction operations where the rules are the hard part.
The layer that runs everything between HR and payroll.
Your HR suite holds the people. Payroll pays them. WorkAxle runs everything in between: forecasting, scheduling, time, and the rules that govern all three. One source of truth, from the first forecast to the final export.

View module →Payroll Export
Clean, pre-classified data straight to payroll. No re-entry.
View module →Three ways complex operations get stuck.
You're managing a workforce on spreadsheets and manual processes.
Schedules built by hand. Compliance tracked in someone's head. Time logged on paper. One missed shift, one expired license, one payroll error, and the cost of "good enough" becomes very real.
Your WFM tool works, but it fights you every step.
It handles the basics. But every new location, regulation, or union rule means waiting on their dev team or filing support tickets. You adapted to the tool. It should've adapted to you.
You've duct-taped three tools together and called it a system.
One tool for scheduling. Another for time. A spreadsheet for compliance. Data doesn't match. Reports contradict each other. You spend more time managing the tools than managing the workforce.
You already know what the answer looks like: one system that covers everything.
Built for the rules your operation actually runs on.
Multiple collective agreements, one deployment.
Seniority order, bidding rights, premiums, rest rules: enforced as written, per agreement, side by side on the same platform.
Different laws, one system.
Provinces, states, and countries each carry their own labor rules. Rules are effective-dated, so a regulation change lands on the day it takes effect, never retroactively by accident.
Your team changes the rules without the vendor ticket.
Build rules from templates, simulate them, publish them. Set each one as a soft warning, so the engine matches how strictly your operation runs.
A defensible record of every decision.
Assignments, overrides, and call-out attempts are logged with timestamp and actor. When the grievance or the audit comes, the answer is already written down.
Keep your HCM. Add the operational layer.
WorkAxle sits alongside the systems you already run. Payroll, HRIS, and ERP connect through documented APIs and tested integration patterns.
Multi-tenant cloud or dedicated regional infrastructure for data residency. Procurement asks, the Security & Trust Center answers.

Eight questions about how your operation runs today. You get a readiness score, a breakdown by area, and the one gap to close first, with how an operation like yours closed it.
The gap to close first: compliance lives in spreadsheets and memory. Your score comes with the playbook a peer used to fix exactly this.
