Product updates

We have released a new Check Component which allows you to easily embed a Profile UI in your employee payroll experience. Through this Component, employees can view their payroll information including general demographics and details, payment methods and linked bank accounts, and workplaces they have been assigned to. Learn more about this component in our documentation.

Different payment types will now have unique transaction descriptions in employers’ bank statements, giving customers better visibility into their money movement. For example, employers will see the description "[Partner Payroll Name] TAX" as the description on their bank statements for upcoming Q2 variance collection and refund transactions. 

The full range of payment types and the associated descriptions is available in our Glossary. The Glossary will empower your Support teams to promptly address any inquiries from employers regarding payment types; additionally, we recommend sharing the glossary with your employers through another visible product surface for their convenience.

Stay tuned for additional enhancements as we make the payment experience at Check more simple and intuitive!

You can now remove the “X” button to close a component from the top-right of components, which can be confusing for components embedded directly in your product. To read more about this ability, check out our guide to customizing components.

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