Revenue model

1. Subscription-Based HCM Platform (SaaS): Empeon operates as a cloud-based SaaS HCM platform offering payroll, HR, time & attendance, scheduling, benefits administration, and ACA compliance as an integrated suite. Pricing is custom and based on workforce size, organizational structure, specific workflows, and selected modules. Payroll is required before adding other solutions. No flat pricing tiers are offered; instead, the company conducts a 30-minute personalized demo to determine pricing aligned to the customer's needs. The modular approach allows customers to start with Payroll and add HR Premium, Scheduling, or Benefits over time.
