About this file
This document is a Contract Amendment for the Time & Labor Solution Contract #180 between the State of North Dakota, acting through its Information Technology Department and State Procurement Office, and WorkForce Software, LLC. The amendment modifies the existing contract originally dated May 17, 2007, to allow for a WorkForce Software as a Service (SaaS) platform.
The amendment updates the contract's scope of services to include a SaaS platform, with pricing detailed in an attached SaaS Pricing Exhibit. The pricing model is based on per-employee-per-year (PEPY) rates that vary depending on the number of users, ranging from $68 per user for 1,000 users to $34.91 per user for 13,001-14,000 users. The pricing covers WFS Time, WFS Absence, and WFS Standard Scheduling products, includes standard support, and is valid for a three-year term. Premium support is available at an additional 7% of the total SaaS fee or $10,000 annually. The contract allows for entities to order SaaS products by executing a separate SaaS Services Schedule, with WorkForce reserving the right to update fees after the initial three-year period.
