# Workforce.com review (2026): is it worth it? > Scheduling, HR and payroll for hourly, shift-based teams Checked Nov 12, 2026 ยท graded Nov 12, 2026 by ToolGPA. Workforce.com sells employee scheduling, HR and payroll for shift-based businesses, either as separate products or as an all-in-one bundle. Scheduling covers labor forecasting, communications and shift management, and the HR and payroll sides add onboarding, time and attendance and tax filing. Prices are given on request. - **Category:** Shift Scheduling - **Made by:** Workforce.com (since 2012) - **Website:** https://www.workforce.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a posted price, as every plan is a quote. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing Workforce.com's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Employee scheduling:** Builds schedules and manages shifts, with an employee app, communications and announcements to keep staff informed. - **Labor forecasting:** Staffing levels are guided by sales, foot traffic and similar data, and POS integrations such as Clover and Epos Now feed sales into schedules. - **Time and attendance:** Captures hours, breaks and time off on timesheets, with wage and hour automation to calculate pay rates for payroll. - **Payroll and benefits:** The Payroll product lists full-service payroll, tax filing and benefits management, with integrations to ADP and Gusto for teams that keep their payroll elsewhere. - **HR tools:** Onboarding and offboarding, an HRIS with self-service, performance management and applicant tracking. - **Compliance help:** The site lists Fair Workweek, California and Florida compliance pages, WOTC and an attendance points system. ## Good for - Hourly teams in hospitality, retail and care that want scheduling, HR and payroll in one system - Businesses subject to predictive-scheduling (Fair Workweek) rules - Teams that only need scheduling and want to buy that product alone ## Worth knowing - 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Workforce.com covers scheduling, time and attendance, payroll and HR, in four packages with separate US, Canada and UK sites. No price is published, and cost depends on headcount. - **Value for money: C.** No price is published. Every plan is a Request Pricing button, and the form asks for headcount, so nothing sits against the $5.65 middle. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial on record, so you pay before you use it. - **Features: C.** Scheduling, labour forecasting, time and attendance, payroll, HR and compliance help. The packages are sold apart, so you buy the parts you need. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Staff, rules and payroll have to be set up first. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with eight integrations listed. An employee app is mentioned but no store listing is named. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Workforce.com's own pages on 12 November 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among shift scheduling apps - Workforce.com's GPA of 1.8 is higher than 1 of the 23 other shift scheduling apps we grade, and level with 3. - It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 2 of 23) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0). The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/shift-scheduling ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Workforce.com you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 19 of the 23 other shift scheduling apps grade higher. - You could make: Employee records, applicant tracking and time off: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. - You could not: A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts. - You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when. - You could not: It plugs into other products, ADP, Gusto and Clover among them.
