Product updates

We’re thrilled to announce that we have increased the number of payees supported per payroll run through a new version of the Check API, which enables the ability to preview payrolls asynchronously.

With the Async Payroll API, payrolls with up to 1,500 payroll items and contractor payments can be created, previewed, and approved. This is an increase from our previous limit of 500 payroll items and contractor payments.

Check out the new Payroll Preview and Approval guide for more information and examples about how to integrate with async preview, and our API changelog for a full list of changes that were included in this new API version.

Check now supports payroll for non-profit employers in all 50 states. We released an updated set of setup parameters that will allow 501(c)(3) Non-profit Organizations (NPOs) employers to be created and set up to run payroll. This expansion includes employers that are recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and employers that have elected to be an SUI reimbursable employer in each state in which they operate.

Existing live employers will be able to see these parameters in Tax Setup and in Tax Parameters API, but they will have values pre-populated and should not see any impact on their Onboard status.

Partners can find more information about how to setup a 501(c)(3) NPO in this Help Article.

At Check, we believe that over the coming years and decades businesses of all shapes and sizes will continue to migrate to all-in-one technology solutions that allow them to do everything they need to run their business within one product.

We’re proud to provide Embedded Payroll infrastructure to entrepreneurs who are building the all-in-one platforms of the future, serving everyone from restaurant owners, to plumbers and electricians, technology startup founders, construction workers, and more.

And while Embedded Payroll is a crucial unlock to becoming an all-in-one solution, an arguably equally important unlock is accounting. Before a business even hires its first employees, it needs to balance its books.

We’re excited that the team at Layer shares our vision for the future, and are approaching it through Embedded Accounting. The same platforms that are becoming the all-in-one solutions for their industry by embedding payroll with Check are increasingly expanding their horizons to include powerful accounting functionality in their products — and they’re using Layer’s APIs and native components to help them do this.

Why This Partnership Matters

By integrating Check’s Embedded Payroll infrastructure with Layer’s Embedded Accounting platform, we’re making it simple for any Check customer to embed full-featured accounting functionality into their platforms, which will automatically sync payroll data in the backend.

Every payroll run initiated by an employer using Check is automatically synced to Layer. All payroll details — like wages, contractor payments, benefits, and taxes — flow seamlessly into Layer’s embedded accounting platform and can immediately be viewed in accounting reports such as the profit & loss statement. Payroll runs are also automatically matched with corresponding activity in the employer’s bank accounts connected to Layer.

With this partnership, we’re taking a significant step forward in redefining what platforms can offer their customers through embedding financial operations. Integrated payroll and accounting functionality that might have previously taken years to build can now be launched in a matter of weeks on top of Check and Layer.

We’re thrilled about the opportunities this partnership brings — not only for our partners, but for the hundreds of thousands of employers our partners support.
