Last verified 2026-09-03. Re-fetched the vendor pricing page at https://wheniwork.com/pricing (via fetch-clean.mjs) on 2026-07-10. The page lists three self-serve plans with explicit USD per-user prices: Essentials $2.50/user/month, Pro $5/user/month, and Premium $8/user/month; Essentials is the lowest paid tier. The FAQ corroborates the figure verbatim on the same page: "When I Work pricing starts at just $2.50 per user per month for single-location teams, and $5 per user per month for multi-location businesses." Only a 14-day free trial is offered (no $0-forever plan), so freeTier is false; HIPAA and SOC 2 are not mentioned, so both remain null. Company address (Minneapolis, MN, U.S.A.) and $ pricing confirm USD. Rippling is named as the preferred payroll/HR integration partner. Re-verified 2026-09-03 against the live pricing page; published figures unchanged.
