Product updates

Effective as of February 22, when Check requests bank statements as part of an employer diligence review or a processing upgrade request (i.e, from 4-day to 2-day processing), Check will require those bank statements to match the bank account that the employer provided to Check during onboarding. Check is making this change to ensure that the employer has sufficient funds in the correct account and to minimize fraud risk. If an employer wishes to change their bank account in Check’s system, you can generate an Onboard link for this purpose.

Check enables developers to return paper checks through our API so your customers can use them to print on their own check stock. In December, we announced a new DLT 159 check stock, provided by Deluxe, as our primary recommended check stock moving forward. This was previously only available through a query parameter, but as of February 8th, this is now the only paper check stock we return from our endpoints. Partners should recommend their end employers purchase this check stock when needed to print paper checks. As a reminder, DLT159 is backwards compatible with DLT104, our prior recommendation, for employers who haven’t yet purchased this new stock. Have more questions? Head to the FAQ in our Help Center.

Net Pay Splits now fully support breaking out pay by percentages in the API, Components, and Console, alongside the amount-based splits that have always been supported. Due to a breaking change in the structure of the Net Pay Splits API needed to support this change, the percentage field is available on our latest API version. Please reach out to the Check team if you would like to enable the latest API version for your integration.

We have added the ability to preview pay calculation on a payroll item basis, vs having to preview the entire payroll at once. Passing in the ‘?item=’ query parameter to the Payroll Preview endpoint will trigger pay calculation for only the specified item(s), enabling more performant previews when viewing individual employee’s. Learn more in our Preview API documentation.
