Workday HCM charges companies on an quarterly or annual subscription basis. Workday HCM is often the most expensive HRIS option on the market. Workday's software fees can cost as much as $45-62 PEPM for companies at scale and there is typically a minimum annual cost of ~$275K which prevents many smaller customers from pursuing this option.
In addition to the software fees, implementing Workday HCM will require a one-time implementation fee. Workday HCM, or more commonly, their implementation partners, will charge ~125-150% of the annual software fees for their implementation fees (i.e., $625-750K implementation fee on a $500K annual purchase).
Most Workday HCM customers also have multiple full-time HRIS managers or continue to pay their implementation partner to help manage the system, so this is another cost to consider with Workday.
