Product updates

We now send webhooks for Net Pay Splits and Integration Accesses. These are live in Sandbox, and will go live in Production on 4/25.  We’ve introduced two new webhook topics for the associated webhooks, called net_pay_split, and integration_access. For more information about these webhooks, please review the Webhook Event Types page on our API Reference.

We’ve updated our privacy policy, effective as of April 18, 2024, to reflect changes in applicable law. You can view the updated policy on our website.

When loading pay history during Embedded Setup, Check operators often find historical deductions that are not presently configured on  employees. Deductions that are only present historically will now be marked with an external flag set to True on their respective API responses. These deductions will not be editable and will be hidden from list responses by default, unless otherwise specified via the include_external query param. For more information, see our Benefit and Post-tax Deduction API references.  

Check will be updating the logic behind employee and contractor onboard status to more accurately reflect SSN validation in late April. Today, if an employee or contractor has a missing SSN, their onboard status is `blocking`. Through this change, a missing or invalid SSN (as represented by ssn_validation_status = `invalid`) will instead result in a `needs_attention` onboard status. This change will ensure these onboard statuses are more comprehensive, making it simpler for you to surface missing or invalid SSNs to end users along with any other missing payee information. Note that at tax filing, Check will continue to send all-zero SSN values for missing and invalid SSNs in certain outputs from Check’s system, such as W-2 filings, as recommended by the SSA.
