It's great for keeping current employee information accurate and available. And I'm in the middle of deploying the payroll and time to track features, so I'm hopeful it'll be very well suited for those features too. The simplicity of exporting a calendar feed of everyone's PTO for my department makes for great visibility about our team schedules.

Zenefits might be good for a small company with a few employees. We did have issues with their customer service. We ended up leaving Zenefits because of it. Zenefits has refused to help us with a tax issue. Zenefits filed our taxes, and we got a letter stating there was a discrepancy. Today marks over 300 days since Zenefits acknowledged they received the letter from the IRS, but it is still unresolved. I haven't even been able to get a response from them. They do not have a phone number to call, and I have since sent emails weekly for 7 weeks, and no one will respond to my emails. This company is beyond frustrating.

As a nonprofit organization, we always have to be mindful of operating expenses. With Zenefits, it seemed like a big expense at first, but the amount of time I have saved on dealing with HR / onboarding and payroll processing has far outweighed the cost for our organization. It's also especially helpful at tax time when I have a bunch of contractors that I need to issue 1099s for. I think for small organizations of just a few people, it probably has more functionality than what you need, but once your payroll is over 10-15 people, and/or you have a lot of short-term staff, staff with irregular hours, etc. it is really helpful.

This software is good if everything always goes smoothly and you never need support. But if they mess up your taxes and you open a ticket I hope you have several months to get a response and it's not urgent in my opinion.

Background: Core-CSI is a small disadvantage business that support US Govt. customers. Back in 2021 we transitioned from then our payroll provider to Zenefits an online platform to do payroll and benefits management. Zenefits offered monthly and yearly plans and since the yearly plans carried additional discounts. We onboarding with Zenefits in 19th April, 2021 we realized that we were oversold by the tool does not have US based support nor the support we requested was timely. It took us next 3 months to get our account stable but being a Govt contractor we needed support to continue to stay compliance with regulations and made the determination to discontinue using the Zenefits by November, 21 and we transited to the new HR, Payroll Platform on January 1st, 2022. Current Status: On April 5th, 2022 (14 days prior to renewal) formally requested to cancel our subscription and on 04/21 the representative responses back that they will go ahead and process automatic payments because Core-CSI (we) did not provide them ample heads up, hence $1032.00 was charged on 04/19

The mobile app platform is user-friendly for sure. If you need to contact the support team - from my experience, you will wait and wait, and then you will not get a resolution until days later, if at all.

One example where Zenefits excels in is the Hiring portion. If an employer is using a recruiting platform, it integrates with Zenefits to hire the candidate seamlessly. It imports all the necessary data into the information boxes as needed to hire easily!

I am traveling a lot for work and it is very easy to clock in and out from my cell phone. I love finding all of my personal information in one place, I can find my time off requests, pay stubs, and insurance info all in one convenient spot. They always ask for some security feature to access which is very nice.

I was applying for a personal loan on a Saturday afternoon and had [forgotten] to get copies of previous years' taxes and previous paystubs. Luckily I was able to log into Zenefits and get all the documentation I needed and forwarded [it] to the necessary parties.

IT works very well for the everyday employee who wants to be able to keep track of all their payments and l their tax info. I really enjoyed the email updates the software sends that remind me it's payday! The software does a great job of showing all my financial information displayed on each pay stub.

It is an easy-to-use, one-stop app that embodies many different HR/Payroll components. It cuts down on unnecessary conversations with said departments because it gives employee's a transparent view of hours worked, PTO and insurance benefits.

Zenefits is a great platform that has many aspects of employee needs in one place. It makes it easy to see pay stubs, edit personal information, see tax information, and even request time off. It keeps the employees in mind, making this very useful for the workers. Has everything that is important to use in one place. Also, it being super easy to use, I would recommend this to any colleague.

It is very easy to get all your information when It comes to benefits and at my previous job It was not as easy and would always have to ask HR for information. Zenefits allows for me to look for all the information I need from my laptop or my cell phone.

We have used many different HR platforms at this company and it is nice that this is a one-stop app that consolidates all many aspects of HR into one. I can't think of a scenario where this would be less appropriate because this app is truly extremely user-friendly and requires zero to no training at all in order to have success using this app.

Zenefits has a great payroll and timeclock system. The approval process for submitting hours and editing is easy and leaves very little room for errors. Being able to track where our employees are logging in from during this pandemic has been a great help.

The system allows for all online onboarding allowing us to utilize the system for hiring during COVID. Employees are able to update their own information for banking, taxes, and addresses, which reduces paper and frees up human resources by reducing task-based functions.
