## Overview

### Key benefits of Folks HR

One platform for HRIS, recruiting, and payroll
Folks HR replaces disconnected HR tools and spreadsheets with a single system. Manage employee records, post to job boards, track candidates, run onboarding, and process CRA-compliant payroll — all from one dashboard. Data flows between modules automatically, eliminating double entry.

Built for Canadian compliance.
Unlike US-designed platforms adapted for Canada, Folks handles CRA remittances, T4/RL-1 generation, ROE filing, CPP/QPP/CPP2, EI, multi-province tax calculations, WSIB/WCB, and Ontario EHT natively. Configurable for provincial employment standards across all provinces and territories.

Your data stays in Canada.
All employee data is hosted exclusively on Canadian servers, governed by PIPEDA and Quebec's Law 25 — outside US CLOUD Act jurisdiction. SOC 2 Type 2 certified since November 2024 with encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and strict need-to-know protocols.

Fully bilingual (English/French).
The entire platform — interface, employee self-service portal, pay stubs, and customer support — operates in both official languages. Essential for organizations with Quebec operations or French-speaking employees.
Recruit faster with AI-powered ATS
Post to Indeed, LinkedIn, Jobillico, Isarta, Talent.com, and CareerBeacon from one place. AI-powered resume parsing and candidate matching identify top talent faster. New hires flow directly into HRIS onboarding — no re-entering data.

Proven results for Canadian SMBs.
1,200+ Canadian organizations save an average of $175,000/year and one full day per week on HR admin. 98% customer support satisfaction. Trusted across manufacturing, construction, healthcare, non-profit, logistics, and professional services.
