Active-employee pricing
Active-employee pricing charges software fees only for employees who used the system in a billing period, rather than for everyone on the roster. Seasonal and inactive staff do not add to the bill.

01 / Explained
Why it matters
Per-seat pricing charges for every employee on the roster, which penalizes companies with turnover, seasonal staff or large pools of occasional workers.
With active pricing, the definition of active matters, so it should be spelled out in the vendor's pricing terms.

How InstaNotified handles it
An employee counts as active when they have activity in the billing period, such as a scheduled shift, a clock-in, an inspection, an incident report or a notification. Inactive employees are not billed. Plan prices are on the pricing page.
