By Carsten Bjerregaard, Addcapacity.com

Zenegy is a Danish payroll and HR platform that combines payroll administration, employee data and reporting in one cloud-based solution. The system is developed with a focus on automation, user-friendliness and integration with other business systems. Zenegy is primarily used by small and medium-sized companies that want a modern payroll platform with strong digital support. The platform handles payroll, tax, pension, vacation and reporting, and provides HR with an overview of employee data. A freelance Zenegy specialist ensures correct setup, payroll structure and integration, so that the company achieves both compliance and efficient operation.

1. What are Zenegy’s basic functions and core purposes?

Zenegy’s core purpose is to ensure correct payroll processing through automated processes and centralized employee data. The system combines payroll processing with HR functions in one solution. The strength lies in simple setup and automation of reports. When wage types and absence rules are correctly configured, manual handling is significantly reduced.

A specific example: A company automates payroll processing for both salaried employees and hourly employees and significantly reduces administrative time.

2. What business value does Zenegy create?

Zenegy creates business value by streamlining payroll administration and ensuring compliance. For HR, this means less manual processing. For management, this means a better overview of payroll costs and absence.

Value-creating elements

In practice: A company gains better control over payroll development and can plan budgets more precisely.

3. How comprehensive is Zenegy – and who is the platform suitable for?

Zenegy is primarily suitable for small and medium-sized companies with a Danish payroll structure. The platform is less complex than enterprise solutions, but on the other hand is quick to implement and easy to use.

Typical organizations

• SMEs
• Service and consulting companies
• Production companies
• Organizations without an internal payroll department
• Growing companies

An example: A company with 35 employees implements Zenegy to combine payroll and HR in one solution.

4. What other systems are available in the same category?

Zenegy operates in the market for Danish payroll systems.

Alternative platforms

• Visma Løn
• Dataløn
• Danløn
• Salary (Visma)

In practice: Zenegy is often chosen when automation and a modern user interface are prioritized.

5. What role and tasks can a freelance Zenegy specialist perform?

A freelance Zenegy specialist works with implementation, setup and quality assurance. The focus is on correct configuration of wage types, pension and absence rules. The specialist can also act as a temporary payroll manager or advisor during integration.

Typical tasks

• Setting up a payroll structure
• Configuring employee data
• Implementing payroll processing
• Integrating with the financial system
• Reporting and control

A specific scenario: A freelancer optimizes payroll setup and reduces manual corrections before month-end closing.

6. What work-related and financial benefits can you achieve by using a freelance specialist?

Payroll administration requires precision and an up-to-date understanding of the law. An experienced freelancer can ensure correct setup and stable operation without permanent employment. The collaboration can be fixed monthly or project-based during implementation.

Advantages in practice

• Fast implementation
• Specialized payroll experience
• Flexible resource use
• Focus on compliance and structure

In practice: A company uses a freelancer during implementation and then continues the operation itself.

7. What are the advantages of using a freelancer rather than an agency or consultancy?

For Zenegy tasks, many companies choose freelancers rather than larger payroll agencies. The collaboration is closer and more flexible.

Hourly rates are often 30–40% lower, and efforts can be targeted precisely at the payroll processes that require attention.

Important differences

• 30–40% lower hourly rates
• Direct dialogue
• Quick start-up
• Less organizational overhead

A typical choice: The freelancer acts as an external payroll manager with monthly billing.
