Rewards & Recognition is absolutely free to access and you can send unlimited recognitions to your employees.

For rewards, you will be charged the gift card amount plus an additional (5%) transaction fee based on the gift card amount.

To view, react, or comment to a reward or recognition on the Recognition Feed, employees will need to have a ZayZoon account. Employees do not need to have a ZayZoon account to claim a reward (gift card), as this is sent to their email directly.

For a limited time, your employees will receive a $10 credit when they create a ZayZoon account through Rewards & Recognition - by either following the link in the Invitation email or the invitation in the Recognition Feed.

You can let employees know you’ve activated the R&R program by clicking Announce Rewards & Recognition on the main page after activation.

When you send a reward or recognition, your employee is automatically notified by email within minutes.

At the end of each week, they'll receive an automated email with a summary of public recognitions sent to anyone in your company during the week.

Once the reward or recognition has been submitted, the employee will receive the notification and gift card by email.

As many as you want! Recognitions are free and unlimited for you to appreciate your employees for a job well done, a great shift, or exhibiting your company’s core values.

Yes! You can set company core values in your Employer Connect account.

Navigate to the Rewards & Recognition tab and select Add a value under the Company Values section. You can then attach them to any recognition or reward.

Rewards & Recognition can only be sent by ZayZoon employer administrators to one employee at a time.

You can use our Rewards & Recognition to acknowledge whichever employees you choose, as long as they are set up with payroll. It's up to your discretion! R&R programs are typically offered to full-time & part-time employees. Otherwise, it may lead to employees feeling left out or excluded from appreciation.

Gift cards are considered cash equivalent items and must be reported as taxable income. They fall under the category of cash equivalent fringe benefits, which means their value must be included in an employee's wages and may be subject to withholding for Social Security and Medicare Tax.

Being synced with your payroll provider makes it easier for you to track these expenses alongside payroll, and from our engagement platform, you’ll be able to easily pull reports tracking your rewards spend.

Once you've set up your recognition message and set a reward amount, you'll be brought to a pre-authorization page to pre-authorize your gift card amount, along with the 5% transaction fee.

You will be prompted to enter your credit card information when you purchase any gift card.

Payment is processed through Stripe.

The minimum reward amount is $10 and the maximum gift card amount is $500 (that can be sent at a time).

Gift cards are non-refundable, non-exchangeable, and non-transferable.

Once the card has been purchased, it is automatically distributed. We do not currently support changes to gift cards or recipients after purchase.
