What do you like best about ZayZoon?

As a hiring coordinator I don't like telling folks we have a biweekly pay cycle in an industry where weekly is the norm. I explain ZayZoon immediately after and it always helps. I don't personally use the service but I appreciate having it available to our employees because there are many people coming from the gig economy--daily pay to biweekly is *very* hard and I would lose a lot of good people without it.

Integrating with our ADP was easy, although it definitely took longer than the advertised 30 minutes--it was closer to a week, week and a half.

We have some regular users and so far I have heard nothing negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZayZoon?

I am not fond of the habits that ZayZoon can create in people--pulling money out of a paycheck early can become a negative self-feeding problem if misused. That said, ZayZoon does try to mitigate that with limits and fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZayZoon solving and how is that benefiting you?

We run the risk of losing good candidates in the hiring stage due to our longer-than-normal pay cycle in our industry. I present ZayZoon as a way to ease the budgetary transition from daily/weekly pay to our biweekly. It helps me capture people that would otherwise say no immediately.

What do you like best about ZayZoon?

The best part of ZayZoon is the ease with which it's implemented. After just one meeting with Morgan, my customer service rep, I knew exactly what to do with my ADP payroll to integrate ZayZoon into our payroll process. After a quick email to the staff, we had almost half of them sign up for the service. In addition, the service has so many additional features to help me and my staff make the most of payroll. I am actually going to suggest this program to all of our franchises (about 30 pubs right now). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZayZoon?

There is nothing that I dislike about ZayZoon. So far it has been nothing but a positive experience for myself and my employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZayZoon solving and how is that benefiting you?

ZayZoon is helping my employees improve their financial wellness by providing them access to their funds owed for work performed, before pay day. This can help them to put food on the table; to invest in something in order to take advantage of the time value of money. It helps my employees make ends meet and not be late on other financial obligations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZayZoon?

Implementing Zayzoon an Earned Wage Access (EWA) service has significantly benefited our small business by enhancing employee satisfaction and productivity. By providing employees with access to their earned wages before the traditional payday, we reduce their financial stress, leading to improved morale and focus at work. Additionally, EWA can make any business more attractive to potential hires, helping you attract and retain top talent in a competitive labor market. This service also reduces the need for employees to resort to high-interest loans or overdraft fees, fostering a more financially stable and committed workforce. The service gives employees choices in how they receive their funds and it was easy to implement. This is all at no cost to the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZayZoon?

Zayzoon does not have the ability to cut-off employee withdrawals to exactly match your payroll period dates. This could result in an employee receiving less than 50% of their earned pay for a payroll period. This may be a unique issue as we do not "officially" process payroll until a few days after the period closes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZayZoon?

I like the fact that there is a limit, so in case of an emergency you can access your funds prior to your paycheck hitting your bank account. Accessing wages early is something that has always been needed but never had the ability to do. Such a game changer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is so easy to do. There is no worry about paying it back, its done for you automatically. Fair price as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZayZoon?

It is too easy to do. Sorry that is a joke, but it really is way easier and more convenient than a payday loan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZayZoon solving and how is that benefiting you?

When money is needed before payday, it can be the difference in having to pay late fees to bill collectors or just pay the small fee associated with ZayZoon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZayZoon?

The support team and the account creation process are seamlessly simple. This is beneficial not only for me as an administrator but also for my caregivers. The system is linked to our payroll team, allowing them to access historical payroll data. Additionally, my caregivers can easily access funds in advance for small expenses, such as $20 for gas, helping to alleviate simple stressors. Let's not forget the free $ they can also get, everyone loves FREE!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZayZoon?

At this time, I cannot do a bulk employee upload. That is something that has to be done on the back end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZayZoon solving and how is that benefiting you?

Right now, my caregivers do not have to ask their employer directly for a loan. They can do this on their own terms privately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZayZoon?

It provides total employee control over their earned wages. They no longer need to go to the CFO to ask for a between pay period loan if their expenses warrent it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZayZoon?

I worry for our employees that early access to their wages simply 'pushes the can down the road' and they will not learn to budget better. Even though ZayZoon has features, guardrails, and products to deter abuse and teach about budgeting I don't expect many people will take advantage of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZayZoon solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do not use ZayZoon personally. I am the CFO at the business that offers ZayZoon as a benefit to the employees. From my office's perspective the problem that ZayZoon solves is that employees no longer need to come to me to request a paycheck loan. They can no manage their earned wages on their own.

What do you like best about ZayZoon?

ZayZoon sounded too good to be true...and they delivered better than promised. Setup took only a couple of emails to my payroll provider and we were up and running the next day. Our employees can now access their paychecks early without having to pay high fees for short term loans, whenever they need cash. ZayZoon fully integrates with UKG and runs seamlessly in the background. Our employees report that customer service is extremely helpful when contacted. Some employees use the product once a week or not at all and the best part is that it doesnt cost us anything to offer this benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZayZoon?

I wish I had found out about ZayZoon sooner. No more the barage of employees looking for their paychecks before payday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZayZoon solving and how is that benefiting you?

ZayZoon allows us to offer early pay to our employees at a very reasonable amount per transaction and is free for the employer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZayZoon?

This is a nice option for employees who need a little advance on their paycheck for essentials such as gas, household goods, etc. I like that there are several options with no fee. It was easy to set up and it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think it needs to be used with discretion and it is possible for employees to mishandle their finances if they are not careful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ZayZoon solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is really too soon to tell. We have only had one employee use it so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
