Product updates

You can now find California 2022 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave as a type under the earnings object. This is in response to California SB 114, which requires employers with 26 or more employees to provide up to 80 hours of COVID-19 Supplemental Paid Sick Leave (SPSL) to employees who are unable to work or telework due to certain reasons related to COVID-19. Check will display additional information on some employee paystubs to maintain compliance with California SB 114.

For partners interested in learning more about California SB 114 and why we made this change, see our Knowledge Base article.

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.
