Product updates

You can now support payroll for employees who require to be paid at a fixed piece rate for piecework (ie. each unit produced, mileage driven, or times an action is performed), rather than the hours spent completing the work. We’ve added piece rate specific earning types such as `piece`, `rest_and_recovery`, and `non_productive`, which will allow you to compliantly support piece rate pay in your payroll build.

You can now include Taxable Wages as an additional column(s) in our Payroll Journal Report.  When the new query parameter ‘include_taxable_wages’ is set to true, we’ll include these new columns. Learn more about accessing the payroll journal via API here.

The Tax Setup API allows you to support better validation of all tax parameters, effective date tax rates, view historically effective-dated tax rates, and see more detailed labels and descriptions of each tax parameter. With this API, you’ll not only be able to collect and update this information but also display this information accurately to your employers and employees.

Check has enhanced its support of the New York Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Mobility Tax (MCTMT). In summary, rather than having a large collection at the end of the quarter, the Metro tax will be part of the payroll cash requirement and will be accrued on a payroll-by-payroll basis.
