Deductions for any benefits managed by Zenefits are automatically added to Zenefits Payroll. To add deductions for benefits managed outside of Zenefits to a Zenefits Payroll account, see this guide to adding deductions and contributions to Zenefits Payroll.
Follow these instructions to add garnishments in Zenefits Payroll, and keep the following in mind:
In Zenefits Payroll, an employee's pay template determines the recurring earnings, deductions, and contributions that they'll have in each pay run. Changes made to a pay template are effective in the next run, and will show up in all future runs.
An employee's paystub lists the details for earnings, deductions, and contributions in a single run. Changes made to an employee's paystub will override their pay template and show up once, in the next run. After that, the employee's earnings, deductions and contributions will revert to the values in the pay template.
If you're an administrator for a company that uses Zenefits Payroll, you can view historical paystubs for each worker, and download each paystub as a PDF. Paystubs for both active and terminated individuals can be accessed the same way.
Workers can download their own paystubs in their Paystub app on their dashboard.
No more wondering if it's pay day-- Zenefits Payroll notifies you through the app when you're paid! If you have the Zenefits app on your mobile device, you'll get a push notification on your pay date. Tap on the push notification to be taken straight to your pay stub.
Absolutely. If you've turned notifications on in the past but would like to turn them off moving forward, you can follow the directions below. If you've previously disabled notifications, then you won't receive pay day notifications.
You can update the bank account used to fund your Zenefits Payroll pay runs in your Company Profile app.
Go to the Payroll Bank Account section of the Billing & Payments tab and click Change.
You will then see a pop-up message with more information about the processing time for the change.
Please start this process at least 7 business days prior to your next payroll processing date.
Run payroll reports by selecting from the following available reports:
Zenefits Payroll uses the same HR departments as the rest of Zenefits. Workers can be assigned to multiple departments.
Payroll reconciliation is the process of comparing your internal accounting records (such as a company bank statement) against your pay run(s) to ensure accuracy. Reconciling will help to identify possible account errors or mismatches caused by possible credit(s) applied to payrun(s) and/or the Level of Service of your Taxes.
To reconcile the amounts that Zenefits Payroll debited for the taxes and worker net pay (by Direct Deposit) in a particular payroll, run the All-in-One Report and enter the payroll's check date for the report's Start and End date.
The amount that Zenefits Payroll will debit from your company's payroll account will include:
Note: The debit amount excludes any net pay for workers who are paid by check, and all deductions or contributions for workers' benefits. Zenefits will also pull this amount in two separate debits: one for worker pay and one for all related payroll taxes.

You may also find more information about pay run reversals here.
Zenefits Payroll currently does not have functionality to automatically remove or add employees on leave of absence. In the meantime, you'll need to manually uncheck any employees on LOA in each run before you run payroll.
Here's how to prorate a salaried employee's paycheck. For hourly employees, just enter the number of hours worked.
Note that removing an employee from a run from doesn't affect future runs, so you'll need to do this each time you run payroll while the employee is still on LOA.
For more information on removing employees when running payroll, see this guide to running off-cycle payroll in Zenefits Payroll.
Before your company's account with Zenefits Payroll is terminated, you'll receive multiple messages regarding why and how the termination will take place. There are three reasons you may be terminated from Zenefits Payroll:

2. Your company has gone out of business.
If your company goes out of business, we will terminate your account.
3. You have decided to leave Zenefits Payroll.
If for any reason you choose to leave Zenefits Payroll, we will terminate your account.
