ADP has hired Kroll, the risk consultants, to assess the technical issues at the heart of the Zenefits dispute and will push ahead with two motions filed in federal court.
ADP continues to make the same arguments without providing any new evidence. The facts are that Zenefits uses the same secure connection to ADP that accountants, bookkeepers and HR services firms use for their clients, and ADP decided to limit small business choice in response to the popularity of Zenefits. Once we brought this to light, ADP sued us for defamation. This is a transparent attempt to intimidate and silence a smaller, more innovative. Zenefits will continue to speak out in favor of small businesses and their right to choose how they run their companies. We call upon ADP to do what’s right for their customers, stop clogging up courts with frivolous litigation, and compete fairly in the marketplace.
