Limits

Tenant-Inherited Throughput tenant
varies
governed by the parent Workday tenant; not publicly documented
Payroll web services share the tenant's API capacity envelope; per-tenant transactional and concurrency limits apply.

Policies

Tenant Inheritance
Payroll APIs share the underlying Workday tenant's API quotas; throttling, retries, and integration backoff follow tenant policies.
Payroll Run Windows
Pay calculations are run during scheduled payroll cycles; integration scheduling around those cycles is a customer-managed concern within the tenant's overall integration concurrency envelope.
Customer Center Documentation
Numeric thresholds for payroll integrations and Studio jobs are published to authenticated Workday customers in Workday Community.
