WorkAxle — HR & Recruiting

What is WorkAxle?

WorkAxle is a workforce management (WFM) platform designed for complex, unionized, multi-site operations. It covers demand forecasting, scheduling, time and attendance, leave, and compliance in one system, running between your HR suite and payroll. It enforces labor rules, union agreements, and certifications as you schedule, with each rule surfaced as a warning so you decide.

Who is it for?

WorkAxle is built for frontline operations in security & guarding, airport operations, public sector, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, construction, and port operations. It solves the problem of managing workforce rules that vary by location, jurisdiction, or collective bargaining agreement—where spreadsheets and manual processes become a liability.

Real use cases

For example, a security company uses WorkAxle to forecast demand for each site, generate compliant shifts, capture clock-ins, and export pre-classified payroll data. A hospital uses the leave module to manage vacation and sick time with blackout periods, while the rule engine flags potential compliance issues before they happen.

WorkAxle integrates with Workday (Innovation Partner) and SAP (PartnerEdge), holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications, and is a Gartner Representative Vendor in WFM.
