Product updates

We’ve shipped two improvements to the Previous Provider Access Component, which directs employers participating in Embedded Setup on how to grant access to their prior payroll provider account. 

1. Previously, the component included a required step asking for the employer’s prior payroll provider. This step will now be skipped if the `previous_payroll_provider` field on the Enrollment Profile has been provided. This will make for a smoother experience in situations where prior provider information may have already been collected in a previous step.
2. The UI has been simplified to prioritize guided instructions upfront, and now includes a double confirmation for the employer to attest that they have both granted access and set the appropriate permissions level for the new account. 

For more details, see the Guide to the Previous Provider Access Component.

We have enhanced the Historical Payroll Audit Report, which provides an output of payroll data comparing calculated payroll results from a company's previous provider to calculated payroll results in Check. Namely, we’ve added variances to the report, which contain the differences between the payroll calculations on the historical payroll and Check’s payroll calculations for that payroll. We’ve also removed empty columns to streamline review of the report. Head to the FAQ in our Help Center to learn more.

Previously, in the event of a failed funding, employers would immediately be downgraded to 4-day processing. We’re rolling out an update so that now in the event of a failed funding, your employer will remain on 2-day processing unless they do not resolve the failed funding within 5 business days. Note that these failed fundings will still count towards the 6-failure limit before being de-platformed. This update will take effect Monday 3/4. Head to our FAQ in our Help Center to learn more.

Effective as of February 22, when Check requests bank statements as part of an employer diligence review or a processing upgrade request (i.e, from 4-day to 2-day processing), Check will require those bank statements to match the bank account that the employer provided to Check during onboarding. Check is making this change to ensure that the employer has sufficient funds in the correct account and to minimize fraud risk. If an employer wishes to change their bank account in Check’s system, you can generate an Onboard link for this purpose.
