Umana 2026: Benefits, Features & Pricing

Here in Shawinigan Quebec we have 50,000 residents and 600 employees who work for the city at some time during the year. Shawinigan searched for several years for a truly integrated unified system that was user-friendly and could give us the autonomy to create our own pay codes, benefits, and custom data extractions. When I finally saw a demo of Umana I knew it was the very tool we needed. At this point we have been using Umana for 3 years now and are extremely satisfied. Umana software is very easy for users to work with. We can take advantage of its full potential without needing technical expertise. At Shawinigan all employees enter their own timesheet without a problem, and managers approve them with a single click. Paule L'Ecuyer Payroll and Benefits Technician City of Shawinigan (Quebec)

The real benefit is a having modern fully integrated HR and payroll system which saves us time and applies our complex rules automatically. All the information is in one single place and we can put it in and get it out easily. Employees use it; managers use it; and our HR and payroll staff use it. With Umana we are able to pay our bus drivers (including route premiums, split schedule premiums, etc.), our maintenance worker (who get paid by job performed), and office workers and managers (who enter a timesheet), and even our elected directors without a hitch and applying all our rules. (And they are complex!) HR also uses Umana for hiring, termination, raises, and benefits. Seniority is by hours worked and by job group (for maintenance staff), and employees move to a new grade the day the reach the number of hours required. All this is handled automatically in Umana. Benefits are calculated automatically and flow through to the pay. Umana integrates with a number of in-house systems we had built prior to Umana, with both file imports and exports and web services. At RTL we have designed many custom reports and exports. Usually we can do them ourselves, but we know that the Umana team is always available to help us.

We choose Umana mostly because it was an easy-to-use software with a lot of flexibility and adaptability. We appreciate the fact that we can attach documents relative to each of the employees "movements" (salary increase letters, emails, pdf...)

Umana is by far the best product I have used in my career for several reasons: - the system is rule based and versatile - able to customize the program to meet our complex multi-layer collective agreement - handles our multi-payrolls for our salaried, unionized and director payrolls - easy to use and easy to understand modules (personal, employment, benefits, safety, skills, time & attendance information and history) - ease and speed of data entry - reporting provided is superior and can be easily manipulated to meet the company needs - can create my own customized reports in-house - benefit plans were customized to meet our changing benefit plans - system maintenance for legislative updates are timely and accurate - pay runs are accurate (gross, net, taxation, benefits, deductions, remittances) - reliable - support, support, support!!! Extremely fast, knowledgeable, friendly support. I can not stress enough how comforting and helpful the Umana team support has been for me. I would recommended Umana without hesitation. I
