We don't know the exact number ourselves, but I can say that we do get a lot of businesses who are switching from ADP/Paychex. Here's a quick Twitter search that might be useful for anecdotal data-points: https://twitter.com/search?q=zenpayroll%20paychex&src=typd https://twitter.com/search?q=zenpayroll%20paychex&src=typd The majority of small businesses still do payroll manually, so we get even more switching from doing it themselves.

  If you'd like to use the PEO structure checkout Justworks, we are a PEO and offer a lot of cool HRIS stuff besides just payroll and benefits administration. http://www.justworks.com http://www.justworks.com

  ZenPayroll is not a PEO, so we unfortunately cannot accept any company that want to operate under the PEO model. As I'm sure you know, a PEO technically hires a client company's employees, thus becoming their employer of record for tax purposes. Our model (like most payroll companies) requires companies to hire their employees under their own EIN for maximum flexibility and cost efficiency.

    Thanks for your response Ed. I appreciate that you're willing to respond here. It is my company that wanted to operate as a PEO i.e. we would be the employer of record for the employees of our client companies. We then hoped to use ZenPayroll to process our payroll. I was told that you all like to work with companies that have 10 employees or fewer, which is fine, but it doesn't sound like if companies grow past 10 employees you kick them off your platform. I think you all are a great company, and your colleagues have been both friendly and responsive in our dealings so my questioning isn't meant to detract from that. Thanks.

Yeah I dont doubt it. Using ADP has to be one of the most miserable experiences ever. Not to mention their web page that looks like its from 1982 I'd toss them in a hot second if it was my decision. ZenPayroll worked great at the previous company ...
