Frequently asked questions

What does Zeal do for staffing companies, gig platforms, and workforce management?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal is a platform built specifically to help staffing companies, on-demand labor marketplaces, EOR/PEOs, and workforce-management tools streamline three key workflows: onboarding workers, paying workers, and billing clients. With Zeal you can automate worker onboarding (including e-signatures, I-9/E-Verify, tax forms, certifications), manage payroll (gross-to-net, multi-jurisdictional taxes, W-2/1099, paycards, digital wallets) and turn worker pay into client invoicing and billing. By tightly connecting those three pieces, staffing and workforce management businesses reduce manual work, improve worker experiences, and unlock new revenue streams.

How does Zeal’s onboarding engine work? How is it different from generic payroll software?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal’s onboarding engine is purpose-built for staffing and gig models: it supports fully digital onboarding including e-signatures, custom documents, remote I-9/E-Verify, certifications and worker data collection in a streamlined flow. Unlike generic payroll software that assumes “one employer, one location”, Zeal handles staffing realities: many workers, many locations, many shifts, many clients. Zeal connects onboarding directly into payroll workflows, so new hires can be verified and paid faster, reducing time to productivity and improving compliance.

Can Zeal handle both W-2 and 1099 workers. And does it scale for high-volume?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. Zeal was built to scale for staffing and on-demand marketplaces, meaning it fully supports both W-2 and 1099 work models. This includes deductions and garnishments for 1099 workers, and daily pay for W-2 workers. The platform supports high volume operations, multiple worker types, and complex workflows including unlimited workers per FEIN (employer) while other payroll providers cannot. So if you’re a staffing company or marketplace with thousands of workers, Zeal can serve your needs.

How does Zeal improve the worker experience. And why does that matter for staffing companies?

keyboard_arrow_down

Worker experience is a key differentiator in staffing and gig models. Faster onboarding and faster payments help retain workers, reduce churn, and keep your workforce engaged. Zeal offers a branded mobile app for workers, enabling them to onboard, view pay stubs, access tax documents, manage their profile and be paid quickly. Zeal’s focus on the worker experience, delivered through your brand, means your workers feel you value them.  

How does Zeal help with payroll, tax and compliance?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal provides payroll, tax and regulatory compliance purpose-built for staffing operations. It includes a native tax engine covering 11,000+ jurisdictions, handles wage calculations (including minimum wage, overtime, garnishments, unemployment, workers-comp), tax filings and withholdings, and supports faster payment options (paycards, Instant Pay, Same-Day ACH, etc). Because staffing and gig operations often cross state or city lines, Zeal’s compliance engine helps reduce risk and manual burden by handling overtime, minimum wage, and time off compliance. Additionally Zeal handles reporting new hires, paying taxes, garnishments, and other compliance responsibilities so you can just focus on winning clients and placing workers.

How does Zeal’s billing functionality work? How do I turn worker pay into client invoices?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal’s billing functionality allows you to automatically convert what you pay workers into accounts receivable and invoice your clients. It supports innovative routing and integrated capital so cash flow is managed more efficiently: you pay workers, bill clients, collect payment, and reduce operational friction between payroll and billing.

What kinds of integrations does Zeal support? Can it plug into my ATS, time-tracking, ERP or finance stack?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. Zeal provides native integrations and APIs so that you can connect the tools you already use (e.g., ATS, time & attendance, ERP, billing systems, client portals). The goal is to allow staffing operators to automate the workflow from onboarding → pay → bill without having to rip out your existing stack. Additionally we provide a MCP to enable AI and agentic workflow integrations. We integrate with the other tools you use to complete your workflows.

How quickly can I implement Zeal? Will it disrupt my current staffing operations?

keyboard_arrow_down

Implementation is designed to be fast and low-friction. Most companies transition in a few weeks. Zeal offers no-code or white-label mobile app launch options, as well as APIs for deeper customization. The Zeal team handles your data migration and setup so you can improve your onboarding, pay and bill workflows in days rather than months. This lets you scale operations without major disruption.

What kind of scale, reliability and security does Zeal provide for enterprise staffing operators?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal is built for scale, reliability, and enterprise-grade security. The platform supports large staffing operations, ensures high availability and response times, and provides SOC-2 compliance and other industry-grade protocols. You can trust it to run mission-critical onboarding, payroll, and billing operations with hundreds or thousands of workers and clients.

How does Zeal help with the unique workflows of on-demand labor marketplaces vs traditional staffing?

keyboard_arrow_down

On-demand labor marketplaces have unique demands: many short shifts, high turnover, rapid onboarding, multiple client engagements, variable pay schedules, fast payouts, and flexible worker types. Zeal is built to be flexible with these dynamics in mind: remote onboarding, fast payments, mobile apps, multi-jurisdiction tax support, paycards, wallet disbursements — all enabling you to integrate onboarding → pay → bill at speed and volume. That makes it highly suited for gig platforms, marketplaces, staffing firms and workforce-tech builders.

What support and services does Zeal provide during implementation and beyond?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal is more than just software, we are your partner in success. The Zeal implementation team handles data migration, project management, configuration, and helps you build improved operations and worker experiences. Post-launch, you get ongoing support, integration help, compliance updates and guidance so you can scale your staffing operations with confidence.
