Withholding SUI by Primary Workplace
Payrolls with a payday of 2025 and later are now calculating State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) and other related taxes (surcharges, paid family medical leave, worker’s compensation, etc.) based on the state of each employee’s primary workplace for all companies.
This change enables Check to better support employees who work across multiple states, as employees will now be able to only withhold these taxes in the state in which they would expect to claim benefits. Employees who only work in a single state will not be impacted by this change.
More information about how this updated logic works or how to use primary workplace can be found in this Help Center article.

Filing Checklist Component: Preparing Employers for Year End
What is Year End?
As the calendar winds down and folks prepare for the holiday season, another important milestone approaches: Year End. In the payroll world, Year End is our most critical time. Payroll providers file all annual tax filings for employers, generate W-2s and 1099s for employees and contractors, and ensure employers understand new tax rates and forms that go into effect in 2025.
Why does Year End matter to employers?
As we approach Year End, it is important that employers and employees verify their payroll data for accuracy before their payroll provider files that data with tax agencies. This means employers should double check their payroll records to ensure they’ve captured all payrolls, verify their team has updated their legal information, double check benefits, and more. Inaccurate information in filings can result in downstream penalties or amendments — a headache for everyone involved.
With this in mind, as we approached this Year End, Check built a product to guide employers through the steps of verifying data for accuracy: the Filing Checklist component.
The Filing Checklist component
The Filing Checklist Component guides employers through the most important steps to ensure payroll data accuracy ahead of year end:
1. Verify all company tax IDs and tax rates. With the Tax Setup component, employers can review and update their company tax information. Employers who are missing or have "applied for" tax IDs will see a more prominent call to attention for this checklist item.
2. Preview their team’s W-2 filings. The newly-launched Filing Preview component allows employers to preview their employees’ W-2s as either a PDF preview or CSV report.
3. Review other reminders, such as reviewing payroll history. This final step provides employer-friendly copy prompting employers to update their team’s information, add payrolls not yet reflected, add any missing benefit information and make any changes needed for 2025.
By embedding the Filing Checklist, partners can expect higher filing success rates and more accurate filings, which reduce the likelihood of corrections or amendments. Together, these benefits not only minimize operational work for partners, but also enable a better Year End customer experience for employers.
As we start 2025, we wish all of our partners and employers a happy and healthy New Year — and, with the Filing checklist ensuring accurate and successful tax filings, a stress-free Year End season.

Support for New Company Types
Today, we are releasing an updated set of setup parameters that will allow 501(c)(3) Non-profit Organizations (NPOs) and agriculture employers to be created and set up to run payroll in all 50 states! These include:
- Whether the employer is recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
- Whether the employer has elected to be a SUI reimbursable employer in each state in which they operate
- Whether the employer is an agriculture employer
- Whether the employer needs to file Form 941 or Form 943
- Whether each employee is an H-2A worker or agriculture worker
Existing live employers will be able to see these parameters in Tax Setup and in Tax Parameters API, but they will have values pre-populated and should not see any impact on their Onboard status.
More information about how to setup a 501(c)(3) NPO can be found in this Help Article. As a reminder, new 501(c)(3) NPOs and agriculture employers in currently unsupported states must have a start date of January 1st, 2025 or later.

Multiple bank accounts for Employers
Employers can now create multiple bank account per company, and then choose from a list of their bank accounts when they run payroll. This will be most useful for franchises or companies with multiple locations that run different payrolls out of different bank accounts. Multiple bank account functionality is available in setup components, run-payroll component, and in API.
