Explaining Terminations in Zenefits

Zenefits' termination process allows admins and managers to request terminations, enter the details for the termination, and manage some post-termination details such as COBRA.

Zenefits does not:

  • Advise on termination matters outside of what is handled within the Zenefits platform.
  • Handle or determine final paychecks for terminated workers, except for those in Zenefits Payroll.
  • Handle or administer enrollment or claims for unemployment insurance.
