Why join early

Not a discount. A partnership.

Founding Partners aren't just early customers. You shape the product, get exclusive lifetime benefits, and gain a competitive edge in HR operations before the rest of the Philippines catches on.

Shape the product, not just use it

Quarterly calls with the WORKSPHR product team. Your real-world Filipino HR pain points directly influence our roadmap. Founding Partners have already shaped how we handle 13th month, multi-branch payroll, and night-differential.

Locked pricing forever

When WORKSPHR raises prices in 2027 (planned 15% increase), Founding Partners stay at the rate they signed up at, for the lifetime of their account. Annual renewals never trigger price escalation. Add headcount? Same per-employee rate.

Recognition + competitive edge

Founding Partner badge on your company profile (used in case studies + co-marketing). Access to features 30 days before public release means your HR team is always one quarter ahead of competitors using legacy HRIS.

The Full Package

Eight things you only get if you're early.

1

50% off implementation

Standard implementation runs ₱25,000 (Starter) to ₱100,000 (Scale). Founding Partners pay half, that's up to ₱50,000 saved. Free for Enterprise plans.

Who this is for.

Perfect Fit

  • Filipino business with 10+ employees (or growing fast)
  • Frustrated with spreadsheet payroll, foreign HRIS, or expensive legacy tools
  • Decision-maker buy-in, you can commit within 90 days
  • Open to giving real feedback, you want to shape the product
  • Strong PH compliance need (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, BIR TRAIN, DOLE)
  • Industry: BPO, retail, hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, F&B, tech, professional services

Not the right fit

  • Solo entrepreneurs or businesses under 10 employees
  • Just price-shopping with no plan to switch within 6 months
  • Companies operating purely outside the Philippines
  • Looking for free or unlimited-scope custom development
  • Unwilling to provide product feedback or join quarterly calls
  • Need pre-built integrations to specific legacy systems we don't yet support

Why only 37.

Most HR software companies treat early customers as guinea pigs. We're doing the opposite. Founding Partners get hands-on attention from our actual product team, and that's only sustainable for the first 37 businesses. After slot 37, the program closes permanently, and pricing reverts to standard rates.

“We're not building WORKSPHR for hypothetical Filipino HR teams, we're building it with real ones. Every Founding Partner gets a direct line to our team. If you're frustrated with how Filipino payroll software works today, this is your chance to fix it from the inside.”

The Founding Partner Program closes December 31, 2026 or when slot 37 fills, whichever comes first. We expect the program to close earlier given current pace.

  • Who qualifies to be a WORKSPHR Founding Partner?
    Filipino businesses with 10+ employees who can onboard within 90 days. We prioritise companies across the Philippines. Decision-maker buy-in is required because Founding Partners get monthly direct access to the WORKSPHR product team.
  • What does a Founding Partner get exactly?
    Eight exclusive benefits: (1) 50% off implementation (saving up to ₱50,000), (2) Three months of Starter plan completely free, (3) Lifetime locked pricing, your per-employee rate never increases, (4) Quarterly direct calls with the WORKSPHR product team, (5) Priority support response under 1 business hour, (6) Founding Partner badge on your company profile, (7) Early access to new features 30 days before general release, (8) 90-day satisfaction guarantee.
  • Why is WORKSPHR limiting it to 50 businesses?
    Quality over quantity. Founding Partners get monthly product team access, which is only sustainable at this scale. After the first 37 spots fill, we cannot accept new Founding Partners, pricing reverts to standard rates. This program ends when slot 37 is filled or December 31, 2026, whichever comes first.
  • Is there any catch or hidden cost?
    No catch. The only commitment is a 12-month Founding Partner term (after which you can continue at your locked-in rate or cancel). You pay regular monthly subscription after the 3-month free period. There are no hidden fees, no setup costs beyond the discounted implementation, and no requirement to provide testimonials or case studies (though we hope you'd want to share your experience).
  • How fast can I get onboarded as a Founding Partner?
    Founding Partners are prioritised in our implementation queue. Standard SME onboarding is 4-6 weeks; Founding Partners typically complete in 3-4 weeks. We assign a dedicated Customer Success Manager and accelerate your data migration with senior team members. See our implementation process →
  • Can I switch from Sprout, ZipHR, or another HRIS as a Founding Partner?
    Yes, and we make it painless. WORKSPHR provides free data migration assistance for Founding Partners regardless of your current system. We handle employee master data, payroll history, leave balances, and 201 file imports. Most migrations complete within 2 weeks of kick-off. See Sprout vs WORKSPHR comparison →
  • What if WORKSPHR doesn't fit my business after a few months?
    We offer a 90-day satisfaction guarantee for Founding Partners. If WORKSPHR doesn't deliver promised value within the first 90 days, we'll refund your implementation fee in full. After that, our Terms allow standard cancellation with end-of-billing-period notice. Your data exports in CSV / JSON for migration to any other system, no lock-in.
  • What about data privacy and security?
    WORKSPHR is fully compliant with RA 10173 (Data Privacy Act). AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, MFA on all admin actions, audit logs, daily encrypted backups. Hosted on AWS Asia Pacific. SOC 2 Type II in progress (target Q4 2026). See our full security page →
