Pricing description
Workday's simplified subscription pricing model is based on the total number of workers in the enterprise over the term of the agreement. We first determine the number for FSE (Full Service Equivalent) workers based on the makeup of the workers at the company. Concessions are applied to part time, contingent, casual and volunteer or other type of workers who will access the system, providing a fair and simplified subscription model that is easy to manage.
