Payroll may live in one system. Scheduling in another. Finance teams often receive workforce data after the fact — making it harder to see labor costs clearly, track budgets in real time, or understand how staffing decisions affect financial planning. In organizations where people are the largest investment, that disconnect can create extra work for payroll teams, limited visibility for finance leaders, and frustration for employees trying to access their own information. This live session will demonstrate how Sparkrock Impact brings Finance and HRP together in one integrated platform, helping organizations simplify payroll processing, give employees easy access to their information, and provide finance teams with real-time insight into workforce costs. In this 60-minute live session, we’ll cover: - How employees submit time, expenses, and requests through a simple self-service portal - How payroll processing connects directly with Finance for accurate reporting and budget visibility - How managers and administrators review, approve, and manage employee information - How workforce data flows automatically into Finance to track labor costs, budgets, and compliance - How scheduling tools support shift bidding, manager-assigned shifts, and workforce coordination - A live demo showing how different users interact with the system — from employees to payroll admins to finance teams ### Save Your Spot for the Webinar ## One Connected System for Finance and HR Canadian health and community-based organizations operate in complex environments—from health units to disability care providers, long-term care homes, and developmental support organizations. Teams are responsible for managing payroll, union rules, scheduling needs, compliance requirements, and financial reporting — often while supporting services that run around the clock. At the same time, finance leaders need a clear picture of how staffing decisions affect budgets and program funding. When workforce and financial systems operate separately, it can create delays in reporting, duplicate data entry, and limited visibility into labor costs, which are often the largest operational expense. Connecting these systems helps organizations: - **Give employees** clear access to their time, schedules,** and payroll information** - **Reduce manual work for payroll and HR teams** - **Improve financial visibility into staffing costs** - **Support compliance and reporting requirements** - **Provide leaders with better insight for planning and decision-making** This session will show how organizations across Canada are approaching that shift. ## What You'll Learn This webinar is designed for **finance leaders, HR teams, and operations leaders** working in Canadian health and community organizations, including: - Community Health Organizations - Disability Care / Community Living - Long-Term Care - Mental Health Services - Health Units - Developmental Support Organizations Through a live walkthrough of the system, we’ll show how different roles interact with Sparkrock Impact throughout the workforce and financial cycle. **You’ll learn:** - **How employees enter time, submit expenses, and manage information through the **employee self-service portal - **How payroll administrators process payroll while maintaining** financial accuracy and reporting alignment - **How finance teams gain** real-time insight into workforce costs and budgets - **How managers **review and approve** time, schedules, and expenses** - **How scheduling tools support **shift coverage and workforce planning - **How integrated systems **reduce manual reconciliation between HR and Finance ## About Our Speakers - ![Rectangle 284](https://webinars.sparkrock.com/hubfs/Rectangle%20284.svg) ### Gary Servius ![Gary (2) (3)](https://webinars.sparkrock.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gary%20(2)%20(3).png?width=150&height=150&name=Gary%20(2)%20(3).png) **Account Executive at Sparkrock** Gary brings over 15 years of experience working with nonprofit and human services organizations, with deep expertise in ERP systems and digital transformation.
