Product updates

In Oregon, per the 2023 state requirement, Check will withhold the Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance tax (PFML) for all employees and for employers with 25+ employees. Please prompt all employers with workplaces in Oregon to answer additional OR PFML questions in Employer Onboard or in your product via API. Check will put the employer in a `needs attention` Onboarding state until the employer answers these questions. Employers will not be blocked from running payroll due to this change. 

If you have current employers affected by this change, you will receive a follow-up from Check with proposed communication to these employers alongside a list of impacted employers. For more information on this new PFML, see the Oregon agency website.

Please prompt all employers with workplaces in Colorado to answer additional CO PFML questions in Employer Onboard or in your product via API. Check will put the employer in a `needs attention` Onboarding state until the employer answers these questions. Employers will not be blocked from running payroll due to this change.

You now generate company-specific corrections templates in Console. When an employer needs to make a payroll correction, navigate to the company page, click the reports tab, and click the blue “Download Payroll Template” button. After completing all required information, submit the payroll correction template to Check Support via the support portal (ticket category “Correct Payroll”). Please download this template each time you need to make a correction, as the template may change over time with new taxes and earning codes. See a demo and learn more about Making a Payroll Correction in the Knowledge Base.
