Product updates

You can now support payroll for employees who require to be paid at a fixed piece rate for piecework (ie. each unit produced, mileage driven, or times an action is performed), rather than the hours spent completing the work. We’ve added piece rate specific earning types such as `piece`, `rest_and_recovery`, and `non_productive`, which will allow you to compliantly support piece rate pay in your payroll build.

You can now allow companies to import data from their previous payroll provider in Company Onboard. This feature allows you to easily import data like the company’s legal name and EIN, employee demographic data, and year-to-date pay statements and more. This feature is currently in a beta stage — please reach out if you’re interested in learning more!

You can now enable users to adjust payroll deductions when a payroll is created or run via our API. This enables you to provide more flexibility around how users manage their own deductions. Learn more about how to override post-tax deductions for a single payroll here.

The Tax Setup API allows you to support better validation of all tax parameters, effective date tax rates, view historically effective-dated tax rates, and see more detailed labels and descriptions of each tax parameter. With this API, you’ll not only be able to collect and update this information but also display this information accurately to your employers and employees.
