We're using Zenefits to manage all our employee information from hiring, time off, payroll, through the process of termination. Zenefits integrates really well with our applicant tracking system too, so that makes for seamless processes of selection and recruiting. Zenefits solves several key issues of information available for our managers and forth the members of our team to connect with one another: contact info, PTO schedules, and approvals.

Zenefits still runs payroll with reasonable success and fluidity, but in my opinion, the company, on the whole, has gone downhill. The product is stagnant and still lacks key features like support for R&D tax credits. In my experience, the customer service has gotten horrible; we transitioned to Gusto, and multiple Zenefits employees assured us our Q3 taxes would be refunded (not sent to the government)... of course, they were wrong and misled us into double paying our taxes. I would NOT recommend the product at this point.

Zenefits is primarily used for payroll management and processing, issuing year-end tax documents to staff and contractors, HR and onboarding documents, and management / tracking of PTO. It is used for all staff (and, gradually, all contractors) across our whole organization. Previously, we used a 3rd party accounting firm for payroll, and streamlining it with Zenefits has saved time and reduced errors.

Getting support is nearly impossible I believe. We received a tax notice in March of 2022 and I am still emailing them once a week for an update on the case. It has not been resolved and all my emails go unanswered I've found. They make it impossible to call, chat or email a direct person so you just have to keep emailing the support email and wait 3 months for a response I've found. Any instance where we have needed support has been an absolute nightmare in my view.

We use (yes, I am a current customer) it as our all-encompassing HR platform. Their support team and turnaround time on issues are absolutely horrible in my opinion. HORRIBLE! If you are considering Zenefits, I would look at Gusto or another saas platform. I have had to sit on hold for 45 mins to up to an hour or more just to talk to a support human. If you send your question via email - in my experience, it could be up to a week before you get an answer and usually, they send you a help link. If I could attach print screens to show my hold time for support issues, I would! It is beyond frustrating!

Zenefits has been an excellent platform. We utlilize it for all onboarding, time off management, benefits management, and it syncs with our payroll platform. In most uses it has been extremely user friendly and a pleasure to work with. This year I did have a few challenges with setting up vacation rules and it was difficult to reach a live agent as you have to go through several screens to get to the point where they will connect you with an agent. At that point the agent was very helpful and assisted me with great professionalism!

We use Zenefits for Onboaring/offboarding, payroll, benefits, PTO, HR, etc. Every employee uses zenefits for their pay and PTO. Administrators and operations staff use it for all applications. Personally I use it most frequently for payroll. Having close to 300 employees can make it a challenging task, but the software is so user friendly that uploading it all is a breeze and then all deductions, contributions, taxes, etc. is taken care of from there.

We use Zenefits for payroll and insurance purposes. It works very very well for what we use it for. I clock in and out using the mobile app every day and love the convenience of it. Also, whenever I have any insurance or benefits questions I know I can find the resources I need and where I need to find them.

This is great! great! HR software.Coming from an employee user, it is so easy to see all my pay stubs and tax info. It's super user-friendly and I enjoyed using it. Being able to pull your financial reports from their app makes life much easier. They present the data in a easy to read way.<br><br>I highly recommend it to all HR departments.

Our entire company is using Zenefits for multiple functions. It has a wide variety of capabilities and is user-friendly for everyone. I also used this platform in my previous job and it's great to use every time. I'm not very tech-savvy in this new digital age. This gives me the peace of mind and tools to access all my needs within the workplace. Great platform!

It is used across the whole organization. It allows us to retrieve all of our benefits information very easily. Gives us information when It comes to our pay as well. We are able to access It via our cell phones if we are on the go and it is very responsive.

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.

Zenefits is an innovative tool for all of your HR needs. it is incredibly easy to use and intuitive, and everything you need as an employer or an employee is right at your fingertips. Updating your personal information is also extremely easy, and working for a mid-sized company, I have referred to the Organization Chart many times. Great software.

Common Fibers utilizes Zenefits for Payroll and Time Tracking. It is being used [by] our whole organization. It streamlines employee time tracking, PTO, and HR, and makes Payroll processing stress-free. As the owner of a small business, anything that can help reduce my time on any given task means I have more [opportunities] to grow the business. Zenefits is one of the single biggest improvements to our HR process.

The system is easy to use and offers an app for your phone. My employees are able to track their time correctly, do their time off, and see paycheck and benefits information directly on their phone. The application is great for onboarding and is user friendly so my employees have no problem updating their tax, address, and other vital information! I highly recommend Zenefits!
