ZenPayroll only seems to handle a part of the overall HR equation. I wonder what ZenPayroll users do for the other parts like healthcare, 401K, etc? It is not completely clear to me either how well ZenPayroll handles things like unemploymen

It is strange that the wikipedia article describes the shaft passer as hypothetical. They are widely used in yachting harnesses - it allows your safety harness to be connected to the life-lines and can roll over the stanchions as you walk p
