Folks HR Partners With WorkEasy Software to Deliver a Complete Workforce Solution for Canadian Businesses
We’re excited to announce a new partnership between Folks HR and WorkEasy Software, giving Canadian businesses a complete path from the time clock to the pay stub: core HR, recruitment, and payroll purpose-built for Canadian regulations from Folks, paired with verified time and attendance from WorkEasy.
Why This Partnership Makes Sense
The best partnerships aren’t about bolting two products together. They’re about two companies that serve the same customers, understand the same problems, and fill in exactly what the other doesn’t do.
That’s what we found in WorkEasy.
Folks and WorkEasy serve the same kinds of businesses: manufacturers running multiple shifts across the plant floor, construction companies tracking crews across job sites, and professional services firms billing hours by project. We’ve built for these realities for years — accident management, certification renewal reminders, and project timesheets are part of our platform because our customers need them. So is verified, real-time time tracking, which is exactly what WorkEasy has spent its history perfecting.
When two companies share the same ideal customer, the customer wins!
What WorkEasy Brings to Folks Customers
Folks customers gain access to accurate, verified time and attendance that holds up in demanding environments.
WorkEasy delivers biometric time clocks built for industrial settings, plus mobile, kiosk, and web clocking for distributed teams. Every punch is verified in real time, which means the hours flowing into your payroll are hours you can trust. Add advanced scheduling, overtime controls, job costing, and time-off automation, and Folks customers get workforce data that’s accurate at the source.
What Folks Brings to WorkEasy Customers in Canada
Many WorkEasy customers have asked the same question: “You’ve solved time and attendance for us. What should we use for the rest of HR?”
Now there’s a confident answer. Folks offers:
- Core HR that centralizes employee data, onboarding, absence management, performance reviews, training and certification tracking, and HR reporting in one place
- An applicant tracking system (ATS) with automated job postings, resume parsing, AI-powered candidate matchmaking, and customizable career pages, built for SMB recruiting teams
- Canadian payroll that automates payroll runs in compliance with federal and provincial regulations, from Ontario to Quebec, with direct deposit and automatic pay stub delivery
Just as important is how Folks is built: designed around Canadian labour law, employee data stays on Canadian servers, and support is fully bilingual in English and French. More than 1,200 Canadian organizations already trust Folks with their HR — because you shouldn’t have to force a US-centric HR template onto your compliance reality.
Better Together
Here’s the practical version of what this partnership means:
- A connected experience: Employee data stays in sync between the two platforms, so teams spend less time on duplicate entry and more time on the work that matters.
- Coverage for the full employee lifecycle: Recruit and hire with Folks ATS, onboard and manage with Folks HR, track time and control labor costs with WorkEasy, and pay accurately with Folks Payroll.
“WorkEasy has spent years perfecting verified time and attendance for the exact industries we serve. Pairing their accurate, real-time workforce data with our HR, recruitment, and payroll platform gives Canadian SMBs something rare: a connected experience built by two teams that truly understand their reality.” — Jimmy Plante, CEO of Folks
“Our customers in manufacturing and construction have been asking us for a trusted HR and payroll answer in Canada, and Folks is exactly that. They serve the same industries we do, they’ve built for Canadian compliance from day one, and they care about their customers the way we care about ours. This partnership means our Canadian clients get a complete solution without compromising on either side.” — Sino, Co-founder and CEO of WorkEasy Software
