  There is no public sandbox for the Workday compensation API. No test keys, no anonymous test
  tenant, no published magic identifiers, no test clock. Everything runs against a real Workday
  tenant the caller's employer already pays for. What Workday DOES publish is a per-operation
  "try it" flag in its own REST directory index, and it is enabled for READS ONLY.

    note: >-
      6 of 14 operations are callable from the console. Every write — including the one that
      submits a real compensation business process — is not. An integrator cannot rehearse a
      compensation write anywhere Workday publishes.

  note: >-
    Workday's non-production environments are customer tenants provisioned under a subscription,
    not a self-serve developer sandbox. Workday publishes implementation guidance for them; it
    does not publish a way to obtain one without a contract.
