Workday Benefits
Workday Benefits covers the benefits administration surface of Workday Human Capital Management: benefit plan definitions, enrollment events and offerings, employee elections, dependents and beneficiaries, retirement savings plans, ACA reporting data, rates and benefit providers. Workday publishes machine-readable contracts for this surface in two shapes - production REST services (benefitEnrollmentEventOfferings v1 and benefitPartner v1, OpenAPI 3.0.1 in the Workday REST API Explorer directory) and the Benefits_Administration Workday Web Service, a 47-operation SOAP contract published as a public WSDL at version v47.0. Access is tenant-scoped and OAuth 2.0 only; there is no public sandbox and no public pricing for the API surface.
Workday Benefits publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Benefit Enrollments API, Benefit Events API, Benefit Plans API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Benefits, Human Resources, HCM, Enterprise, and Payroll.
The Workday Benefits catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Workday Benefits’ developer surface includes authentication, getting-started guide, engineering blog, documentation, API reference, support, changelog, and 39 more developer resources.
