That's pretty much how I saw it (Zenefits is similar to a contractor working on behalf of an ADP customer), but there are some issues with that point of view. It could be argued that Zenefits is not only profiting off of their own customers, but also profiting off of ADP's hard work. Basically, ADP is only seeing one revenue stream (the client) whereas Zenefits is using ADP's data to generate income via the insurance policies and other HR services Zenefits resells. Whether that's improper or just sly business sense is a matter for the courts, of course.

The downside no matter what is that the innocent clients are the ones ultimately losing access to both services in this brawl.
