Workday apps for the work Canadian HR still does in spreadsheets.
Ristretto Labs builds small, strong apps that run inside Workday. We're starting with the rules Canada added this year.

How we build
Inside Workday, under your security
Our apps run in your tenant and act as the person using them. People see only what Workday already lets them see, and every change leaves an audit record.
Ready for every tenant
No values copied from one tenant into the code, and no hidden setup. Each app ships with a checklist of what your tenant needs, so it works the same in sandbox and production.
Tested on every change
Automated checks run before anything is deployed, and a test suite runs after. Workday releases twice a year, and our apps keep up.
Help shape the first release
Pilot customers get early access, a say in what we build, and founder-level support. We're starting with employers in BC and Ontario.
