Does anyone know of a Zenefits like business that serves the UK?

I've not come across anything close and HR administration is just as big of pain in the UK as the US. I recognise the business model (commissions on health insurance) wouldn't work in the UK, but I'd be happy to pay. Our health insurance costs are so much lower anyway....

YOU'd be happy to pay, but maybe not the rest of the UK companies (or not that much, or not today, etc.). SO the growth of a UK-based Zenefits-clone will be much, much slower, and maybe never reach profitability. So I wouldn't count on that too much :/
