Note
A closed compound pluralizes like any simple noun: the -s goes on the end, after place, never on work. Each workplace is one site where someone works, so the plural counts separate offices, factories or shops rather than kinds of work. Marketplaces and fireplaces follow the same pattern, and the plural keeps the solid spelling, with no hyphen or space.
