Workstream Announces Workstream Compensation 6.0

New Workstream Performance and Compensation Products Integrated to Create the Next Generation of Pay for Performance Solutions

Ottawa, ON. – May 08, 2006 - Workstream Inc™ (NASDAQ: WSTM), a provider of On-Demand Enterprise Workforce Management software, today announced the general availability of Workstream Compensation 6.0. Already recognized as one of the premier, web-based Compensation applications in the market today, the new 6.0 release dramatically extends the Company’s pay for performance solution capabilities.

Workstream Compensation 6.0 now allows HR administrators, managers and employees to track employee performance against organizational goals and link the results directly into compensation planning. This cross-application linkage provides a very efficient, integrated platform and items such as compensation adjustments that are required outside of the annual focal planning cycle can now be handled with relative ease. Workstream Compensation 6.0 is also a flexible solution that allows customers to easily configure and administer the systems themselves, without IT intervention.

“Seamless integration of performance and compensation data is a tremendous asset to users and critical to smooth pay for performance processing,” stated Michael Mullarkey, CEO and Chairman at Workstream. “The latest release of Workstream Compensation enhances this capability by offering out-of-the-box connectivity to our Workstream Performance solution. Users can manage changes in their compensation strategies, while simultaneously drilling-down into employee performance data. The efficient, on-demand delivery of these applications ensures that our customers have quick access to information that enables more informed pay-for-performance decision-making.”

Workstream Compensation 6.0 is accessible as a stand alone solution or in conjunction with other Workstream TalentCenter suite applications. When deployed with the Workstream Performance 6.0 solution, managers and administrators gain a consolidated, user-specific view of compensation and performance activities from a single jump page that can be configured to fit a company’s business model and branding.

Other Key Features of Workstream Compensation 6.0:

• Enhanced Reporting – Delivers cross-application reporting templates for flexible on-demand deployment, with a low cost footprint;
• Reporting Configuration – Supports ad-hoc configuration and sharing without technical expertise;
• Internationalization – Provides multi-language framework that extends existing multi-currency functionality;
• Plan Management – Offers year-round planning access and date-effective planning periods, as well as support for year-round transactions; and
• Year Round Support – Enables managers to utilize the product throughout the year to make off cycle pay adjustments, changes to their group hierarchy and budgets.

Workstream Compensation 6.0 can be efficiently integrated with other major ERP systems, including SAP and Oracle-PeopleSoft. Because it is complementary to these systems, Workstream Compensation 6.0 helps to extend their value, in a fraction of the time and expense of building out this functionality from the ground up. Workstream Compensation can support organizations of all sizes and complexities and is currently being used by organizations as diverse as Wells Fargo, Motorola, Visa, American Red Cross and IMS Health.

Workstream will be demonstrating Workstream Compensation 6.0 in booth # 209 at the WorldatWork Total Rewards Conference & Exhibition, May 7-10, 2006, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
