Limits worth knowing in Workforce.com

  • No prices are published; every plan on the pricing page has a Request Pricing button.
  • The quote form asks for employee range, from 1-20 up to 500+, so cost depends on headcount.
  • Four packages are sold: All-in-One, Scheduling, Payroll and HR. The site has separate United States, Canada and UK versions.
  • The pages read mention an employee app but no iOS or Android store listing, so only the web version is listed.
