Yes. Because Employment Hero is an all-in-one AI powered Employment OS, your shift scheduling software, time and attendance, and payroll are entirely unified. When a manager approves a timesheet, the data flows automatically into our CRA-compliant payroll system.

We give you two reliable options. Use GPS geofencing to verify locations when staff use their smartphones, or set up a dedicated on-premise tablet kiosk for physical clock-ins. Both options help provide accurate attendance records every time and eliminate time theft.
