Product updates

Check enables developers to return paper checks through our API so your customers can use them to print on their own purchased check stock. In the past, we recommended customers purchase DLT 104 check stock, but we’re updating this recommendation to DLT 159 check stock, provided by Deluxe, a leading check printer for top payroll providers. This new check stock better matches our design so you can expect better feedback from your customers. We’ve also added the residence address of the payee to the check so now these checks can fit in #9 Double Windowed Envelopes and be seamlessly mailed. We’re rolling this change out first under a new query parameter `dlt159` on all paper check endpoints, so you can test with your customers before fully rolling out. We plan to migrate all paper check endpoints to the new DLT159 style by 1/31/2024. Note, DLT159 is backwards compatible with DLT104. To see our updated API guidance head here and for FAQs head here.

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.
