  title: Zeal Companies Employee Check API
  description: 'Zeal is an embedded payroll-as-a-service platform. This representative OpenAPI describes the core surfaces of the Zeal API used to build payroll products: onboarding companies, employees, and contractors; running pay runs (employee checks) and contractor payments; managing pay schedules, tax parameters, reports, funding, and webhooks. All requests are authenticated with a Bearer API key and scoped by a companyID. Use a test API key against Test Mode (no money moves) before switching to a live key.'
