It was part of the Winter 2013 batch of start up accelerator Y Combinator, and officially launched on February 18, 2013. In October 2013, Zenefits, that had so far been operational only in California and New York, announced that it was rolling out to the other 48 states in the United States, albeit only for businesses with more than 20 employees. In January 2014, the company announced the addition of commuter spending, flexible spending, and 401(k) support in an attempt to replace the more mundane functions currently handled by companies' human resources departments. In July 2014, the company announced support for stock options in its cloud HR platform. In November 2014, Zenefits opened an office in Scottsdale, Arizona, where they plan to hire 1300 employees over the coming 3 years. In December 2014, David Sacks, founder of collaboration service Yammer that had been sold to Microsoft, joined Zenefits as the Chief Operating Officer. In January 2015, Zenefits announced that it had revenue of approximately in 2014, twenty times the corresponding figure in 2013, despite offering its platform to users for free and making all its money from commissions charged to insurers for being the insurance broker. In April 2015, the company announced that in March 2015, it had added more clients than it had added in its previous 15 months of operations.〔 Parker Conrad was both criticised and praised when he revoked an offer to an employee who posted a question on Quora to choose between Uber and Zenefits, pondering the question of which would help him land a job at Google in the future. In May 2015, payroll provider ADP blocked Zenefits from accessing payroll information on behalf of Zenefits customers. In a post on the company's blog, Zenefits alleged ADP was spreading "fear, uncertainty and doubt" about Zenefits data security due to worries about increased competition. In June 2015, ADP filed a lawsuit accusing Zenefits of defamation.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zenefits」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
