Product updates

You can now run payroll for employees with child support garnishments in Utah, as well as 21 other US states. For Check to remit the payment, you will need to enter the garnishment into Check and mark managed = true.

For partners who want to see which other states are supported, see our State Coverage Tracker in the Knowledge Base.

You can now use Period Amounts to set monthly benefit contribution amounts for employers and employees. Check will calculate the appropriate deductions across payrolls based on pay frequency. Previously, you could only set a flat contribution amount or a percentage of wages amount, both of which were directly applied to every payroll.

To learn more, check out our Period Benefits guide here.

You can now override the contribution amount for a benefit without affecting future contributions. Benefit overrides can be added to a payroll item on payroll creation and updates as well as payroll item updates.

You can now set a termination date for an employee or contractor. Termination dates are available as a new field on Create and Update requests. Termination dates will only display the latest termination date of an employee or contractor.
