Connect scheduling directly to payroll

Hours tracked in Rise flow straight into pay runs. No re-keying from one system to another, no reconciling spreadsheets at the end of the week. Instructors, therapists, and front-desk staff get paid accurately based on the shifts they actually worked.

Run every location from one platform

Two yoga studios and a physio clinic in another province? Rise handles separate locations, pay groups, and provincial rules in one place. Set up each site once, then run payroll for all of them together.

Give your team a self-serve experience on their phone

Your staff aren't at desks. With Rise, employees check schedules, punch in, swap shifts, request time off, and view pay stubs from their phone. Managers spend less time fielding texts and more time running the business.

Get stat pay and overtime right automatically

Provincial rules for overtime, stat holidays, and breaks are built into Rise. The platform does the math so you're not second-guessing rates before every long weekend or scrambling to fix errors after the fact.

Offer benefits that help you compete for talent

Attracting good trainers, practitioners, and support staff means offering more than just a paycheque. Rise Health makes it easy to set up and manage group benefits, giving your team coverage they actually value — with an enrolment experience that doesn't feel like it's from 2005.

Rise didn’t just give me software; they gave me a team. For any small business owner who’s nervous about doing this for the first time, stop overthinking it and go with Rise. You’ll wonder why you ever stressed about it.”

Rise blew my mind because I wasn’t used to anything like that. Everything is laid out so perfectly and you can customize things to suit your preferences. I also like how open Rise is to making things better, from hearing suggestions to updating features. And how you can log into the website and chat with support right away.”
