What is Folks?

Most HR software is built for the US market and adapted for Canada as an afterthought — missing native payroll compliance, storing data on American servers, and offering no French-language support. Folks is different. A Canadian-owned platform designed from day one for the way Canadian businesses actually run. Folks handles CRA-compliant payroll natively: automatic T4 and RL-1 generation, ROE filing to Service Canada, CPP/QPP/CPP2 and EI deductions, multi-province tax calculations, WSIB/WCB, Ontario EHT, and direct deposit — no third-party payroll provider needed. The platform also covers HRIS, applicant tracking with AI-powered candidate matching and integrations with Indeed, LinkedIn, Jobillico, and Talent.com, plus performance management with 360° evaluations. SOC 2 Type 2 certified, with all data hosted exclusively in Canada — governed by PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws, not the US CLOUD Act. Fully bilingual in English and French. Plans start at $6/employee/month. 1,200+ Canadian SMBs across manufacturing, construction, healthcare, non-profit, and professional services already made the switch.

Users can keep track of employee absences, manage documents electronically with e-signatures, and conduct payroll in compliance with CRA regulations (including T4, RL-1, ROE, CPP/QPP, EI) without needing an external provider. The platform is SOC 2 Type 2 certified and ensures that all data is securely stored in Canada, adhering to PIPEDA and Law 25, in contrast to the US CLOUD Act. It is available in both English and French, making it accessible to a diverse range of users.

Payroll

Folks Payroll is designed exclusively for Canadian payroll regulations, rather than a US system modified for Canadian use. It streamlines processes such as CRA remittances, T4 and RL-1 slip creation, ROE submissions to Service Canada, as well as deductions for CPP/QPP/CPP2 and EI, multi-province income tax calculations, WSIB/WCB, Ontario EHT, and direct deposit services. Employee information, hours worked, and absences integrate seamlessly from Folks HRIS into the payroll system, reducing the need for duplicate data entry and minimizing errors with each payroll cycle. With SOC 2 Type 2 certification, all data is stored in Canada in compliance with PIPEDA and Law 25, ensuring it is not impacted by the US CLOUD Act. The platform supports both English and French, eliminating the requirement for any third-party payroll services.
