Frequently asked questions

What does Zeal's onboarding solution do for staffing companies, gig platforms, and workforce management?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal's onboarding solution built specifically to help staffing companies, on-demand labor marketplaces, EOR/PEOs, and workforce-management tools streamline worker onboarding. It gives you a unified, branded flow to collect worker documents, tax forms, certifications, remote-friendly I-9 with E-Verify, custom paperwork, and custom data. It's worker onboarding with automation and compliance built in. The outcome: faster time-to-productivity, a better worker experience, less manual work, and fewer compliance risks.

How quickly can a worker be onboarded with Zeal, and what makes it faster than traditional methods?

keyboard_arrow_down

With Zeal's fully digital onboarding you can onboard a worker in minutes. The web and mobile optimized onboarding flow drastically reduces manual steps: workers get a link to complete their onboarding (including e-signature, uploads, mobile I-9, etc.). That means no more paper forms, less back-and-forth, and less dependency on in-person document review. For staffing/gig operators this means you can get workers into shifts faster and with fewer errors.

Does Zeal support remote or mobile-first onboarding (especially for on-demand or distributed workforces)?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. Zeal’s onboarding supports remote and mobile workflows. You can use a white-labeled mobile app, or a mobile optimized web experience. The I-9 authorized representative flow supports remote reviews and text message invitations. Workers can complete the entire I-9 verification process remotely (with mobile camera, image-capture, location sharing) as well as tax forms and other paperwork. This is especially important for gig or home-healthcare environments where work-sites are distributed or workers are not coming into a central office.

What compliance features does Zeal’s onboarding include?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal builds compliance into onboarding. That includes: a fully branded remote I-9 workflow integrated with E-Verify, customizable forms for certifications, licensing, or labor posters, and ongoing data-collection triggers (for example when worker status changes). For staffing firms and EOR/PEOs, this means you’re mitigating risk of employment-eligibility or tax-jurisdiction errors before the first shift is worked.

How does onboarding connect into the rest of the my staffing operations workflows?

keyboard_arrow_down

Onboarding isn’t standalone, it feeds directly into payroll. Once workers are onboarded in Zeal, the same system can handle pay calculation, taxes, disbursement, and more. Zeal also has integrations that allow you to use Zeal's onboarding to capture worker information and that use that information in other tools you use in your operations.

I’m a staffing firm operating across multiple states — will Zeal’s onboarding handle multi-jurisdiction issues?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. Zeal’s platform is built with staffing-scale and multi-jurisdiction compliance in mind. In onboarding Zeal automatically and dynamically captures the right jurisdictional information based on the information provided by the worker (worker location, work-site state, tax withholding data) to ensure the downstream payroll/tax engine works correctly. For companies working across states or venues (e.g., home-healthcare, hospitality gig), the onboarding tool will alert you if the worker is working in a new location that requires new data to be collected, and you can simply send them the link to provide the new information. This helps you reduce the work it takes to stay compliant.

Can Zeal’s onboarding flow be branded and embedded in our worker-experience?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes. You can use the API to build a customized onboarding flow, or our white-label solutions that provide an optimized onboarding experience in your brand. Either way it feels like your own worker-experience (not a third-party portal). You can embed it or launch as a link, and workers will complete onboarding under your brand. That helps with worker trust and consistency across your platform or staffing brand.

What happens if a worker needs to update their information later?

keyboard_arrow_down

Zeal’s onboarding engine isn’t just for “day one.” You can reuse the same configurable flow and automation for ongoing updates. If a worker needs to update tax withholding, add a new license/certification, or upload new paperwork, you can trigger specific parts of the onboarding flow again. This helps sustain compliance and keeps your worker data clean without manual follow-up.

How does onboarding with Zeal impact worker retention and labor supply for staffing firms?

keyboard_arrow_down

A smooth, fast, mobile-friendly onboarding experience positively influences worker satisfaction, which in turn supports better retention and time-to-shift. Delays or friction in onboarding often lead workers to drop out. With Zeal’s streamlined workflow you reduce “drop-off” in the funnel, get workers on shift more quickly, and set the stage for faster pay, which supports retention and supply availability.

How does Zeal help staffing firms minimize manual overhead and risk during onboarding?

keyboard_arrow_down

By automating document collection, data entry, e-signatures, image capture, ID verification, remote I-9/E-Verify, and more, Zeal replaces many manual tasks. That reduces error rates, reduces compliance risk (e.g., employment-eligibility fines or tax mis-filing), and practically elimites the resources required for onboarding. For staffing companies where volume is high and margins tight, this automation can mean significant efficiency gains.
