As part of an effort to make the Run Payroll Component easier to use for employers with many employees, we have introduced autocomplete search bars for all entity dropdowns. This will allow employers to search for the exact employees, workplaces, earning types and rates to ease payroll configuration. Read more about the Run Payroll Component here.

In the world of payroll, address validity is incredibly important to determine appropriate taxation. In the past, we only validated addresses upon creation of specific entities, like workplaces. We’ve now rolled out a dedicated address validation endpoint so you can check any address against the USPS database to ensure they are accurate and can be used in Check. If you created an address somewhere else in your platform, you can use this endpoint to determine if it will work in Check before creating a workplace, company, employee or contractor. Note that this feature is offered at no additional charge for now; Check may update the fee structure in the future. Read more about address validation in our guide here.

The Employee Setup step of Company Onboard has been added as a standalone component. Employers can view the onboarding state of each employee, and set company defined attributes for each employee, if applicable. Learn more about Check Components here.

When using Console to set taxes for companies or employees, you can now set one tax at a time, whereas you previously had to enter values for all applicable taxes at once. This enables you to enter taxes as you get them rather than wait for all of this information.
