When requesting a payout, our system may prompt you to provide documentation of your continued employment or assignment. Your document must;

  • Have a visible date

  • Show your full name

  • Show the detail of work completed in your current pay period

If you are unsure of what dates to use, the easiest way to remember is to use the schedule that shows the current week (which would include the same date as the payout).

Acceptable Documents include:

Hourly Employees

  • Official Timesheet (paper or electronic) showing your completed work hours

  • Screenshot of electronic time submissions of completed work

  • Shift schedule showing completed dates of work

  • Photo of punchcard with completed dates of work

  • Photo of punch clock with clearly visible ID held next to it with completed dates of work

  • Photo of punch clock and punch card with completed dates of work

Independent Contractors

  • Recent Driver Settlement report showing your completed work

  • Photo of job manifest showing your completed work

  • Screenshot of jobs completed in the current period

Please go here for more details on how to upload your proof of work documents, including uploading more than one document.

Failure to meet the criteria presented above may result in the rejection of your request. Since ZayZoon provides access to your earned, but unpaid wages, this information will allow us to offer you access to funds.

Please note: Unacceptable Documents include;

  • Future dated documentation

  • Out-of-date documentation showing dates you have already been paid for

  • Paystubs or settlement details

  • Altered documents

  • Screenshots of the ZayZoon app

  • Selfies 

If you're unable to provide a document proving your continued employment or assignments, regrettably, we will not be able to approve payouts at this time and your ZayZoon account may become temporarily disabled if more than 3 consecutive failed attempts are made. If you need help gathering documentation, please check out this article.

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our Customer Care Team by Live Chat or Email.


**The process and criteria may be different for some employers or contracting companies. There are circumstances in which the above criteria does not apply and/or you may be asked to provide alternative documentation, for example, a paystub to confirm your previous pay period.
