Pricing
Per-employee pricing (PEPM)
What is Per-employee pricing (PEPM)?
Per-employee-per-month (PEPM) pricing charges for HR software by headcount, so the bill rises every time you hire and add-on modules are often charged on top.
PEPM is the most common HR-software model. It is predictable per person but couples your HR cost to growth: the same tool costs more next year simply because you hired.
Watch for seat minimums - some vendors bill a minimum number of seats, so a small team pays for capacity it does not use.
