Applying to Use Zenefits Payroll

Note that the Payroll setup process includes filling out an in-product  application.  Zenefits Payroll considers a number of factors when making a decision on a company's application, including the company's credit, legal, and financial history and its industry type. Credit verification is a standard industry practice that helps payroll providers manage risk.

 

Note that companies who were declined can apply again once they've built up sufficient financial and credit history.
