Managing HR and payroll shouldn’t be a juggling act—especially when your business spans borders. BambooHR is one of the most trusted HR platforms for growing organizations, offering powerful tools to streamline employee management. But for businesses with Canadian employees, there’s a missing piece: compliant, in-country payroll processing. That’s where WorkLinks comes in.
As the only official Canadian payroll partner for BambooHR, WorkLinks fills the gap with seamless, secure, and compliant payroll services designed specifically for Canadian employers—or U.S. companies employing Canadians. If you’re looking to connect your HR and payroll data while staying on the right side of Canadian law, this integration is built for you.
Why Payroll Integration Matters
When HR and payroll systems don’t communicate, the result is often frustration: duplicate data entry, compliance risks, missed pay cycles, and unnecessary manual work. Integrated systems eliminate those risks by keeping everything connected. Employee changes made in BambooHR—like promotions, pay rate updates, or new hires—can automatically sync with your payroll system, ensuring up-to-date accuracy.
In short, integration saves time, reduces errors, and ensures your people get paid correctly and on time.
What BambooHR Brings to the Table
BambooHR is more than just an HRIS. It’s a fully connected HR ecosystem that includes:
- HR Data Management & Reporting
- Time & Attendance Tracking
- Applicant Tracking & Onboarding
- Performance Management
- Compensation Planning
- Employee Experience Tools
- Mobile Access & AI-Powered Insights
Built for businesses of all sizes, BambooHR offers an intuitive, unified interface, embedded AI tools, and a vast ecosystem of over 150 integrations. But when it comes to running Canadian payroll natively—issuing T4s, managing CRA remittances, or complying with provincial rules—it still requires a trusted local partner.
The Missing Piece: Canadian Payroll Compliance
Running payroll in Canada is not as simple as cutting cheques or sending direct deposits. Employers must navigate:
- Federal and provincial tax regulations
- Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI) deductions
- Source deductions and electronic remittances to CRA/Revenu Québec
- Issuing Records of Employment (ROEs), T4s, and RL-1s
- Payroll year-end reporting and reconciliation
Failure to comply can lead to costly penalties. That’s why having a Canadian in-country payroll provider is essential—even if your HR system is best-in-class.
