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.

OnTheClock
OnTheClock is simple, cloud-based employee time clock and payroll software for small businesses that need an easier way to manage hourly employees. The platform connects time tracking, employee scheduling, attendance, paid time off (PTO), and payroll, so employees, managers, and business owners can complete everyday tasks without complicated training or disconnected systems.
For employees, clocking in and out is easy using a smartphone, web browser, or shared time clock kiosk. Workers can review their hours, view schedules, and request time off. For managers, OnTheClock makes it straightforward to correct missed punches, approve timecards, monitor attendance, track overtime, and see hours worked by job or department. Administrators get accurate time records and a direct path from approved hours to paychecks.
Time clock capabilities include GPS location tracking, geofencing, fingerprint biometrics, and IP restrictions. Scheduling, PTO accrual management, and job costing give businesses greater visibility into staffing and labor costs.
With built-in payroll, OnTheClock lets employers pay hourly and salaried workers by direct deposit. It also calculates, files, and pays payroll taxes on their behalf. Businesses can instead keep their existing payroll provider and use integrations with QuickBooks, ADP, Gusto, Square, Thomson Reuters, Paychex, Sage, and Paylocity.
Founded in 2004, OnTheClock serves 16,000 businesses and approximately 160,000 employees, with access to real U.S.-based support by phone, chat, and email. It's designed for industries including construction, restaurants, retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and field services.
