For Justworks clients
Justworks raised the sticker 14 percent. The renewal letter is coming for the rest.
The PEO Plus admin fee moved from 109 to 124 dollars per employee per month in June 2026, and legacy accounts are being moved to the new model. Justworks renews November 1. Letters land August through October. Do the math on your calendar, then on your invoice.

Credit where due: Justworks publishes its pricing. Read this page anyway.
The honest read
Justworks is the friendliest front door in the industry.
It deserves its reputation below 50 employees. The problems are the fee curve, the support cliff when something breaks at payroll, and the ceiling: near 200 employees the platform runs out of road. If you are growing, the question is not whether you leave Justworks. It is whether you leave on your calendar or theirs.
What we check: the new fee model against your headcount curve, your health renewal against New York-priced pools, support-risk exposure for your payroll complexity, and your growth runway against the ceiling.
The November clock
By the time the letter lands you have weeks, not months.
Justworks' plan year turns November 1. Midsummer is when a Justworks client holds maximum leverage: enough runway to shop, enough time for a clean plan-boundary landing. That is not sales urgency. That is just the calendar.
We love the product.
Keep it, maybe. We benchmark the price, and sometimes the answer is stay and negotiate with the new fee model in hand. We make nothing on that outcome and give it to you anyway.
We're in construction or high-risk work.
Justworks declines whole industries. We place them weekly. That alone is worth the twenty minutes.
We're under 30 employees.
The math is thinner and we will say so. Sometimes the honest answer is that Justworks is your best deal right now. You will get it in writing.
One invoice, one census. Before the August letters.
Twenty minutes to your number and your date.
