Product updates

Previously, we required the tax setup for all jurisdictions to be completed before any filing authorization forms could be signed by companies in our company filing authorization component and Onboard step. Now, filing authorization forms are only blocked by the tax setup details needed by that form. For example, if you have a company in 2 states: CA and NY, you can sign the CA filing authorization forms as soon as you complete the CA tax setup and the NY filing authorization forms as soon as you complete the NY tax setup.

Contractor Payments now have their own pages in Console, similar to the ones that previously existed for Payroll Items. Accessible from a Payroll Journal, this page will allow you to observe Contractor Payments and their corresponding attempts as well as retry and refund failed payments.

The Check API now provides an earning type called `tip_credit_adjustment_to_minimum_wage` to allow you to enter in wages for tip credit workflows properly. Tip credit payroll items can be entered into the Check API using this new earning type and the accompanying `tip_credit_amount` field. Note that `cash_tip` and `paycheck_tip` should be used in conjunction with this earning type if an employee's cash_wage is below the state's typical minimum wage.

Check’s sandbox environment now provides a mechanism to incur and cause failed payments. Using designated company and employee names, you can simulate payrolls transitioning into a failed payment state. This will allow you to test NSFs, employee closed bank accounts, or a combination of both.
