Running payroll in The Bahamas comes with its own challenges. Between collecting employee details, handling National Insurance Board (NIB) contributions, managing vacation and banked time, and processing deductions for lenders or benefits, it can quickly become overwhelming when you are using separate systems.
Workzoom helps Bahamian organizations simplify all of this by bringing payroll, timekeeping, scheduling, and HR together in one secure platform. It gives your team a single place to manage everything from pay information to leave balances, creating a smooth experience for both administrators and employees.
In The Bahamas, every employer must ensure NIB contributions are correctly deducted and submitted. Workzoom makes this easy by automatically calculating contributions, creating C10 forms, and storing employee details such as NIB numbers and pay classes in one place. Once set up, the system applies the right contribution rates and deadlines automatically, helping you stay compliant and confident.
Workzoom makes it easy to collect the information you need for accurate and compliant payroll. During onboarding, you can gather bank deposit details, NIB numbers, and other required pay information directly in the employee profile. Everything you collect at hire flows automatically into payroll, eliminating manual entry and reducing errors.
You can also manage third-party deductions directly in Workzoom. If your employees have loans or payments to lenders, such as mortgages or car payments, these can be processed automatically through payroll as a service to your team.
Workzoom allows employees to be grouped into what are called “worker classes.” This means your organization can easily support different pay frequencies for various roles. Salaried staff, hourly staff, and shift workers can all be paid weekly, biweekly, or monthly depending on your needs. Each group’s settings and calculations are managed seamlessly within the same system, keeping everything consistent and accurate.
One of the biggest advantages of using Workzoom is that payroll, timekeeping, and scheduling are all connected. When your employees clock in, submit timesheets, or follow schedules, that data flows directly into payroll. There is no need for manual transfers or importing files from other systems. Whether your staff are salaried, clocking in on-site, or submitting timesheets remotely, it all works together automatically.
Vacation and banked time are also managed in the same platform. Employees can view their vacation balances, submit requests, and see approvals all in one place. When vacation or banked time is taken, it is reflected automatically in payroll.
Employees today expect access to their pay information without having to ask HR for help. With Workzoom, they can log in to the same secure portal they already use for scheduling and timekeeping to view pay stubs, tax information, and NIB details.
There is no need for a separate payroll portal or to reset forgotten email passwords. It is one login, one password, and everything they need is there. This makes payroll more transparent and keeps employees informed without adding extra work for your HR or finance team.
Because Workzoom keeps everything connected, you never have to worry about missing important deadlines or making manual mistakes. The system helps generate NIB reports automatically, including C10 forms, and tracks contribution amounts for each employee. You can export or print your NIB forms as needed, with complete confidence that every figure is accurate.
Workzoom was designed to adapt to the unique needs of Caribbean and Bahamian employers. Many local organizations operate in industries like hospitality, tourism, and construction, where staff schedules change frequently and seasonal workers are common. Workzoom makes it easy to handle all of these scenarios with built-in support for shift management, variable hours, and multiple pay types.
Whether you have ten employees or a few hundred, Workzoom gives you control, visibility, and automation to keep your payroll running smoothly.
Workzoom is more than just payroll software. It is a complete HR, talent, and workforce management solution that unites people data, scheduling, time, and pay in one system.
