What to check before moving off BambooHR

Payroll and HR systems are unforgiving. If you are comparing Canadian replacements for BambooHR, make sure the boring back-office details work before you announce a cutover.

  • Export employee records, earnings history, deductions, balances, and compliance documents before migration.
  • Check Canadian payroll support for T4s, ROEs, provincial rules, benefits, and year-to-date carryover.
  • Test onboarding, approvals, time-off policies, and manager permissions with one real department first.
  • Avoid switching during year-end or an already messy payroll cycle unless you enjoy preventable chaos.
