May I know the correct statement, I think it is at some temperature instead of zero K.

Work function is the minimum energy required by an electron to escape from a metal surface at 0 temperature or at a given temperature electron escapes at work function equal to applied energy plus equivalent energy of temperature.

I think at 0 k temperature most of electrons free to move, so Work function is the minimum energy required to escape the electrons.
