Canadian HR software, built by Canadians.
Every HR tool we evaluated was built for the US payroll system — W-2s, not T4s; USD, not CAD; with no Canadian-region option for the primary database. So we built our own.
Why we built this
We needed HR software for a growing Canadian team. Every option we found was built for the US market — no Canadian-region option for the primary database, no CRA payroll, and pricing in USD.
We spent weeks evaluating tools and couldn't find one whose primary database lived in a Canadian region and whose payroll engine spoke T4 and CRA. The answer was basically: none of them.
So we built WalnutsHR — purpose-built for the Canadian market with provincial employment standards, a Canadian-region primary database, and pricing in CAD. Native Canadian payroll is on our 2026 roadmap; until it ships, WalnutsHR runs alongside your current payroll provider.
per employee/month — transparent, always
Our Values
These principles guide every feature we build and every decision we make.
People First
HR is about people, not paperwork. Everything we build starts with the question: does this make life better for employees and the teams that support them?
Simplicity
HR software shouldn't require a three-month implementation project. We obsess over making powerful features feel effortless.
Trust & Security
HR data is deeply personal. We treat every record with the care it deserves — multi-tenant isolation, encryption, and audit logs come standard.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees, no 'contact us for pricing', no surprise add-ons. You can see exactly what WalnutsHR costs before you ever talk to us.
Regional database hosting
Your primary HR database is provisioned in a Canadian region for Canadian customers and a US region for US customers. Subprocessors and cross-border processing are disclosed in our privacy policy.
Built for Growing Teams
We know what it's like to outgrow spreadsheets. WalnutsHR scales with you from 2 employees to 2,000, without forcing you onto enterprise plans.
