Migrate your Worknice data
People operations platform for mid-to-large organizations that consolidates onboarding, performance reviews, and leave management into a single Australian-hosted HR hub.
In its favor
Why people choose Worknice
The signal that keeps Worknice on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Organizations over 50 employees choose Worknice because it replaces multiple disconnected tools with a consolidated employee data hub that covers onboarding through performance reviews.
Schools and mid-market teams cite the easy onboarding process as a key differentiator — new staff are onboarded in one platform without navigating separate HRIS and document tools.
The simplified, intuitive interface reduces the learning curve for HR generalists who find enterprise HR platforms like Workday overwhelming to configure and maintain.
Australian-headquartered organizations appreciate that Worknice is designed for local compliance needs and integrates natively with payroll tools common in the ANZ market.
Teams on annual agreements report that the lower overall cost versus enterprise all-in-one platforms justifies the feature trade-offs for their size.
Some customers outgrow Worknice as they scale beyond 200 employees and require more granular role-based access controls across departments and legal entities.
Users requesting stronger mobile app functionality have cited limited mobile UX as a friction point when HR tasks need to be completed on the go.
Organizations needing deep payroll engine capabilities rather than payroll integrations find the platform's reliance on third-party payroll connections limiting.
Some teams report that advanced workflow automation features available in enterprise HR platforms are more limited in Worknice's tiered offering.

What gets migrated
Worknice object support
Object-by-object support for Worknice migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
People
Fully supportedPeople is the core entity in Worknice — employees, contractors, managers, and account owners are all stored as People records with role, position, pay details, and integration connections. We extract all standard fields and preserve role assignments during migration.
Positions
Fully supportedPositions define job titles and hierarchies. We map position names and reporting relationships where the destination HRMS supports org structure. Position bundles assign templates and access rules to new hires.
Documents / Paperwork
Mapping requiredWorknice stores compliance documents, contracts, and onboarding paperwork per person. We export documents as binary blobs and recreate the attachment relationship in the destination, but file naming conventions and folder hierarchy are flattened during export.
Leave balances
Mapping requiredLeave entitlements and accrual balances are tied to People and position start dates. We export leave type, balance, and accrual method as separate fields and map them to the destination's leave object, which may use different leave type taxonomies.
Performance Reviews
Mapping requiredWorknice supports 360 reviews, customizable review forms, and review status tracking. We extract reviewer relationships, form question responses, and completion status. Custom form fields require field mapping to the destination's review schema.
Goals and OKRs
Mapping requiredCompany-level OKRs and employee goals with alignment hierarchies are supported. We export goal titles, descriptions, progress, and parent-child goal relationships. The destination's goal object naming and alignment model may differ.
Time tracking entries
Mapping requiredTime tracking is available on the Essential plan. We export time entry records per person including hours, dates, and time category where this data exists. Not all destinations have a native time tracking object.
Roles
Fully supportedWorknice assigns roles at the person level (Employee, Manager, Account owner, Contractor). We preserve role assignments as direct fields in the destination Employee record.
Integration connections
Not in this platformWorknice maps per-person connections to external systems (ATS, payroll, timesheet integrations) via its Connections feature. These integration links are external references with no migration value to a new HRMS — we exclude them and flag that re-connection to the destination payroll and ATS must be reconfigured manually.
Bundles and templates
Mapping requiredBundles group templates (documents, onboarding tasks, review forms) assigned to positions or people. We export bundle names and template associations as structured metadata. The destination may not have an equivalent bundle concept.
Surveys and feedback
Mapping requiredWorknice supports continuous feedback collection and engagement surveys. We export survey responses and feedback records per person where they exist. Survey design and question structures require reconfiguration in the destination platform.
