Crew Payroll Timesheet Systems

CSL is introducing WorkAxle as the new timesheet system and ADP as the new payroll system for Canadian seafarers, replacing Highline.

Together, these new tools will allow crew members to manage their pay-related activities directly, without needing to call or email the office. These activities include:

• Entry of worked hours & overtime
• Timesheet approval

• Tax Forms available in Self-Service
• Electronic paystub

Project Timeline

Depending on the time required to configure the systems, both solutions are planned to be deployed simultaneously in the fall of 2026. They will be made available to all crew members in Canada.

A Glimpse at ADP

How do WorkAxle and ADP Benefit CSL Seafarers?

Benefits for Timesheet Managers:

• Access to tax forms and pay stubs through ADP Self-Service instead of receiving them by mail.
• Enhance traceability and visibility of each crew’s timesheet

High efficiency gains for the payroll team in the office:

• Faster payroll processing
• Significant reduction of manual entries, hence reducing the risk
• Fewer employee pay errors requiring correction
• Improved integration with our current systems
• Enhance record-keeping, audit trail and controls​
