Product updates

Many states and the IRS have released updated withholding forms for 2024. Employees who are newly onboarding or updating their withholding elections will now complete the 2024 Federal W-4 and employees in 8 states will complete their new 2024 state withholding forms (Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Kentucky, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, and South Carolina). Note that there are 3 more withholding form updates currently in flight, and we expect to see a few more 2024 forms which we will implement as they are released.

Faster payout speed has been a top request from partners and employers, and we’re excited to start offering Morning Next Day Pay, our new payroll processing flow, as of today. It allows employees to have funds settled into their accounts by 8:30 am local time, and employers to initiate their payroll just one day before, by 8pm ET. No additional development work is required to enable Morning Next Day Pay, and it’ll be default for any company set to the ‘one_day’ processing period starting January 1st. Please note that Morning Next Day Pay has a different pricing structure than the current Next Day Pay offering. If you’d like to get started using Morning Next Day Pay now, please get in touch.

Previously, if there was an issue when calculating the payroll audit, we showed a generic message indicating that something in the calculation went wrong. Now, when a payroll audit calculation error is due to a missing or incorrectly configured withholding value, we will show details about which withholding value is incorrect, allowing you to better identify and fix the issue.

Check enables developers to return paper checks through our API so your customers can use them to print on their own purchased check stock. In the past, we recommended customers purchase DLT 104 check stock, but we’re updating this recommendation to DLT 159 check stock, provided by Deluxe, a leading check printer for top payroll providers. This new check stock better matches our design so you can expect better feedback from your customers. We’ve also added the residence address of the payee to the check so now these checks can fit in #9 Double Windowed Envelopes and be seamlessly mailed. We’re rolling this change out first under a new query parameter `dlt159` on all paper check endpoints, so you can test with your customers before fully rolling out. We plan to migrate all paper check endpoints to the new DLT159 style by 1/31/2024. Note, DLT159 is backwards compatible with DLT104. To see our updated API guidance head here and for FAQs head here.
