  PLEASANTON, CA, May 18 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Workday, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class SaaS-based Human Resources
(HR) and Financial solutions, today announced that McKee Foods, a leading
provider of snack foods including Little Debbie(R) Snack Cakes, is using
Workday to manage HR and Payroll for its 6,500 U.S.-based employees.

    What's New

    -- McKee Foods is now live on Workday's Human Capital Management (HCM)
and Payroll solutions.

    - Workday replaced an aging on-premise HR and Payroll system that no
longer met the company's needs and had become increasingly expensive due
to growing hardware, upgrade and maintenance costs.

    -- McKee Foods is achieving significant cost savings from its Workday
solution through

    - Elimination of much of the IT infrastructure required to support
on-premise HCM and Payroll;

    - Shifting operations toward more paperless business processes, while
still enabling employees to access pay slips online or via shop-floor
kiosks;

    - Streamlining processes and delivering easy-to-use manager and employee
self-service.

    -- Workday has published a case study outlining McKee Foods' selection of
its HCM and Payroll solutions.

    -- McKee Foods recently participated in a webinar titled "Workday
Payroll, Built for the Enterprise."
