Can I finish Zenefits onboarding without a social security number?

If You're An Independent Contractor Without an SSN /EIN:


At this time, independent contractors can only finish onboarding if they have an SSN or EIN. No other forms of Taxpayer Identification Number will be accepted for independent contractors.


If You're An Employee Without an SSN:

Yes. If you don't have a Social Security Number (SSN), you can still complete onboarding. However, you cannot be added or paid via Zenefits Payroll until you have an SSN.
  1. Check the I am/will be applying for a social security number box under the SSN field.
  2. Enter (or choose) an estimated date for receipt of the SSN. This estimate must be within 60 days of the hire date.
