As part of an effort to make the Run Payroll Component easier to use for employers with many employees, we have introduced autocomplete search bars for all entity dropdowns. This will allow employers to search for the exact employees, workplaces, earning types and rates to ease payroll configuration. Read more about the Run Payroll Component here.

Check now offers the ability to input negative amounts and hours in payroll item earnings to reduce overstated wages within the quarter. Negative earnings offer a convenient way to make these corrections without the necessity of voiding and reissuing the entire paycheck. This flexibility allows for accurate adjustments to be made in a straightforward manner. Learn more about negative earnings here.

We have made changes to the Payroll API to make creating payrolls easier and more flexible. Previously, we prevented the creation of $0 and/or 0 hour earnings. We have now moved this validation to payroll preview and approval, allowing you to build payroll flows where you prefill default earnings, insert time & attendance data, or allow the employer to enter in base information and finish later. Read more about earning configuration here.

You can now create contractor objects with only a last_name; address is no longer required. This change allows employers to send contractors onboarding links to fill out their own addresses, rather than the employer needing to provide this information. Note that while these fields do not block contractor creation, they are necessary before paying a contractor and will cause a blocking onboard status. Read more about this process in the onboard status guide and the reference to create a contractor.
