Next Day Pay, the fastest payroll processing period in embedded payroll

At Check, we want to make paying people simple – even in the case of a missed deadline. That’s why we’re excited to announce Next Day Pay, the fastest payroll processing speed available in embedded payroll. 

What is Reciprocity? Managing multi-state tax complexity in payroll

Whether you want employees to opt in themselves, or build a completely custom flow – Check helps platforms manage reciprocity without the headache.

Accelerate time-to-market with the Run Payroll component

Our newest component includes everything employers need to create, edit, preview and run payroll, and can be white labeled to match the look and feel of your platform.

Payments flexibility improves payroll processing at your organization

We’re excited to announce a set of new functionality and improvements to our payroll processing flows. The release includes net pay splits, improvements to payment visibility, failed payment recovery, and bank account validation. 

Announcing Earning Rates

We’re excited to announce Check’s new Earning Rate API. As a developer, you now have the ability to store employee salary and hourly wages in Check as Earning Rates. This enables Check to then use that data to calculate the correct gross pay when running payroll.

Introducing Check Components: A faster way to build embedded payroll

Check Components are embeddable flows that you can add into your application with a few lines of code. Pick and choose from a variety of Components that allow you to easily onboard employees, run payroll, generate reports, and set up third-party integrations.

Announcing Check + Quickbooks Online

We’re excited to announce an integration with Quickbooks Online. Time wasted by businesses manually manipulating and importing payroll data into their accounting software builds up fast. Here at Check, we understand the importance of closing the loop on payroll data, and one of our goals is to make that process simpler than ever for local businesses.

Stepping up our support for contractors through Check Onboard

Traditionally, contractors have been an afterthought for payroll companies, despite the fact that well over 10% of all workers in the U.S. are independent contractors, a number that only continues to grow. That’s why Check has spent the last couple of months revamping our support of contractors, adding the ability to onboard contractors through Check Onboard.

Storing additional information in Check using metadata

At Check, fostering an excellent developer experience is always top of mind. We focus on building tools that give you the flexibility to create the payroll product that will best serve your customers. That’s why, starting today, you can use the metadata parameter on our supported resources to add auxiliary data to Check objects.

Providing platform transparency using webhooks

If you know anything about running payroll, you know that it can be a complex and cumbersome process. Check's goal is to streamline and abstract as much of that complexity as possible, so our software platform partners can focus on the most important task: building a tailored front-end for their customers.

Further simplifying payroll through automatic paper check rendering

While there are several reasons a business may need to deliver paper checks to workers, the process of writing paper checks by hand is time-consuming and often error-prone. That is why Check built a new API endpoint enabling white-label paper check rendering. Instead of manually writing a paper check, payroll teams have the option to print those checks directly from the system where payroll is being run.
