Product updates

Check will now validate Employer SUI rates submitted via Check Console and the Tax Setup API to reduce the number of incorrect submissions. Tax values submitted without an effective date will be validated using the current date of submission. For example, if a tax value is submitted without an effective date on 2022-07-18, then validation will be performed by assuming the value is effective on 2022-07-18. To learn more about specific validation constraints use the GET endpoint to ‘list a company's tax parameters’ and refer to the ‘definitions’ field.

Check will now remit payments to the child support agency in Mississippi and Oklahoma. For Check to remit the payment, you will need to add the garnishment via the post-tax deduction object and mark ‘managed = true’. To see which other states are supported, see our State Coverage Tracker.

Check now supports effective dating for the company defined attributes API. When an `effective_start` is not defined, if the attribute has not yet been initialized, it will be set to 1900-01-01. Otherwise, Check will set the `effective_start` to the current date by default. To learn more about company defined attributes, see our guide here.

You can now update processing periods from 2-day to 1-day via API. This change makes it possible to edit ‘processing_period’ for a payroll object in a draft state, making it easy to switch payrolls from 2-day to 1-day (and vice versa) programmatically. Please note, there is additional cost associated with moving to 1-day processing, so reach out to the Check team before upgrading. Learn more about processing periods in our knowledge base.
