Product updates

You can now update processing periods from 2-day to 1-day via API. This change makes it possible to edit ‘processing_period’ for a payroll object in a draft state, making it easy to switch payrolls from 2-day to 1-day (and vice versa) programmatically. Please note, there is additional cost associated with moving to 1-day processing, so reach out to the Check team before upgrading. Learn more about processing periods in our knowledge base.

Check now supports effective dating for the company defined attributes API. When an `effective_start` is not defined, if the attribute has not yet been initialized, it will be set to 1900-01-01. Otherwise, Check will set the `effective_start` to the current date by default. To learn more about company defined attributes, see our guide here.

Check will now remit payments to the child support agency in Mississippi and Oklahoma. For Check to remit the payment, you will need to add the garnishment via the post-tax deduction object and mark ‘managed = true’. To see which other states are supported, see our State Coverage Tracker.

The Tax Setup API will return a new ‘definitions’ field as part of the ‘tax parameter object’. This new field provides more information regarding the tax parameter setting values, including the minimum, maximum and any associated constraints. As of right now, the definitions are only available for SUI rate tax parameters. Learn more about tax parameter definitions here.
