Big Fans of Zenefits
We have been a Zenefits customer for over 7 years now. When we started using Zenefits in 2014, we leveraged Zenefits as our primary HRIS system to send offer letters, onboard new employees, track time off, select benefits, and integrate with our payroll provider, QuickBooks Online Payroll.
As Zenefits launched its Zenefits Payroll product, we transitioned from QuickBooks Online Payroll to Zenefits at the beginning of 2020 to provide our employees with one powerful app to view their paystubs, request time off, view their benefits information, manage their pre-tax spending accounts, and look up contact information of their fellow team members. By having everything in one place for our employees in Zenefits (both online and in the mobile app), we were able to dramatically reduce the amount of questions from our employees and in turn improve our employee experience.
We’ve relied heavily on Zenefits to scale our business by helping us to be more effective and efficient in engaging and interacting with our employees. Since I joined Boomtown, we have increased our headcount by 5x – and thanks to Zenefits, we haven’t had to add any People Ops headcount to manage that growth.
- Payroll services in all 50 states, including payroll tax filings
- Integrations with tools like QuickBooks, Google Workspace, Slack, and Human Interest (401(k))
- Simple yet powerful mobile app for employees to access information including paystubs, benefits, and time off requests
- Streamlined admin portal for People Ops professionals
- Customer service response times are sometimes slow but are improving
- QuickBooks integration could be improved to include employee and department (class) level information
- Ability to clone templates in the Hiring section of the app

Zenefits is a small business must have!
I've been with Zenefits for a few years now and I feel like we've grown our businesses together. I use them for Onboarding New Hires, HR and Payroll. As a small business owner, I'm always tempted to just jump in and do things myself which inevitably leads to some sort of mess. Every time I've reached out to Customer Service, they've been able to get it resolved.
It might take awhile to get to an actual person, but that's because their support database is SO expansive, you can pretty much find anything you need, and then some. Once I had a representative on the line, they stayed with me until the entire situation was resolved. I never felt rushed off the phone or pushed aside.
Zenefits is a great investment for small businesses. I love the notifications and alerts pushed through email and to my phone as well.
- Great dashboard & user interface
- Easy to use templates & text suggestions
- Always developing & improving
- As an administrator & employee there's no way to switch between the 2 different user types
- It can be work to get to a live person
- The app is a little useless as an administrator

User- friendly HR Platform that works!
Zenefits is used as the HR platform for our company across the whole organization. It tracks each employee's time off, PTO, hours worked and our insurance benefits. The app is very user-friendly and easy to use especially when looking up our medical and dental insurance. It provides any additional information for those said insurance companies in one location. My favorite aspect of this app is the time clock function as it is all done remotely from the app on my phone.
- Time clock function-- easy to use and never lags
- The insurance portion has all of the pertinent information in one location
- Allows you to track your hours and is updated in real time
- I would like to be able to download our individual insurance card in the app
- Make adjustments to missed punches on the time clock feature
- Have to email HR manager to have time clocked changed.

Great value and service!!!
Zenefits makes it easy for my entire team to enter their hours into the portal and view their paystubs. On the management end, we were able to add an offer letter template, a handbook and also have the ability to pull reports from the portal. It is very easy to navigate and the cost is low compared to other payroll companies.
- offer letter template
- enter own hours for review each week
- ability to download payroll reports
- cost effective
- Wish list that costs would remain the same each year but I understand the nominal increases.

My Experience with Zenefits
It's being used across our entire company as our HR department and benefits management platform. We use it as a way to approve and track PTO, sick days, vacation, and other time off situations. We also, like to use it as our benefits platform, org chart, and performance management system.
- Our medical benefits are clear and easy to access.
- Vacation tracking and reporting comes in very handy.
- Managing the performance of the team is very simple.
- If PTO calendars were made to be editable, that would help in some situations.
