Salsa Finops
FinOps view of Salsa embedded payroll spend for a platform partner. Salsa bills partners under a sales-quoted contract, typically per-active-paid-worker per month (PEPM) plus a platform base fee, rather than per-API-call. The unit cost driver is the count of active paid workers across the partner's employers each pay cycle, so cost scales with the partner's payroll volume, not with API request throughput. Money-movement (employer funding and worker disbursement) is a pass-through of the actual payroll dollars and is separate from Salsa platform fees.
