Product updates

We have released two new attributes (` employee_w2_delivery_method` and `contractor_1099_delivery_method) on the Company object that can be used to configure W2 and 1099 delivery preferences. These attributes allow you to set overriding print-and-mail preferences, giving employers greater control in managing print-and-mail costs. These will be available in Sandbox tomorrow, 12/1, and in Production on 12/8. For more information about these attributes, please review the Company page on our API Reference.

To keep your employers compliant with form changes, we have released the latest version of the Indiana WH-4 form. The form adds an additional exemption for each qualifying dependent claimed for the first time. In addition, the agency has added a box which will allow an employee to indicate if the submission of the form is for a change to a local county that should be effective Jan 1 of the next year. In order for the box to be checked, the employee must first have a completed form for the current year.

We now send webhooks for Earning Rates and Pay Schedules. These are live in Sandbox, and will go live in Production on 12/7. We’ve introduced two new webhook topics for the associated webhooks, called earning_rate and pay_schedule. For more information about these webhooks, please review the Webhook Event Types page on our API Reference.

Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA) requires a Power-of-Attorney (POA) in order for third parties to file and pay taxes on employers' behalf. Employers will need to complete this form in order for Check to properly pay and file Massachusetts State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) taxes. For newly onboarded companies where MA SUI is applicable, this form must be completed before employers can run payroll unless the State Account ID is marked "Applied For.” This form can be completed by employers via Company Onboard under the Filing Authorization section.
