Does Auris integrate with ZayZoon?
Yes. Auris is an integrated payroll partner with ZayZoon, an Earned Wage Access and employee financial wellness platform. The embedded integration synchronizes employee shift hours and wage calculations between Auris and ZayZoon. Eligible employees can access a portion of their already-earned wages prior to payday via the ZayZoon app, and advance payouts are automatically reconciled as a paycheck deduction during regular Auris pay runs — with zero administrative lift, zero cost, and zero cash-flow risk for employers.

What Is Earned Wage Access (EWA)?
Earned Wage Access (also known as on-demand pay) transforms traditional rigid pay cycles. Instead of waiting weeks between paydays, employees can access money they have already earned for shift hours worked.
Understanding What EWA Is — and What It Is Not
What EWA Is:
- A voluntary employee financial wellness benefit
- Early access strictly to money already earned
- A way to prevent bank overdraft penalties and late fees
- Automated paycheck reconciliation through regular payroll
What EWA Is NOT:
- Not a payday loan or consumer credit product
- Not a cash advance from employer funds
- Not subject to compound interest rates or finance charges
- Not a replacement for gross-to-net payroll processing
How Auris + ZayZoon Work Together
The embedded integration automates data transfer and paycheck deduction, making on-demand pay effortless for both employers and employees.
Employee Works Shift
Employees clock shift hours as usual through Auris Time & Attendance or connected POS/timekeeping systems.
Earned Wages Calculated
Auris securely communicates shift data to ZayZoon, calculating available earned net earnings (up to 50% threshold).
Voluntary Transfer Request
The employee requests a transfer via the ZayZoon mobile app, choosing an instant debit card, fee-free gift card, or prepaid card option.
ZayZoon Disburses Funds
ZayZoon funds the payout instantly out of its own reserves — zero funds leave the employer's payroll account.
Payroll Paycheck Reconciliation
ZayZoon transfers the deduction detail to Auris, which automatically offsets the advance on the employee's regular paystub.
