Product updates

When an enrolling company enters a FEIN that already exists in Check’s system, we will no longer block that FEIN from being entered altogether. Instead, the company will be allowed to use that FEIN and continue enrolling, enabling a more seamless customer experience. The company will still need to terminate with their prior provider before their first payroll, and instructions will be surfaced in Console in these cases.

We have introduced increased validation when a company submits EINs and account numbers. An employer will now be unable to submit a string containing a single repeated alphanumeric character into these fields, such as '11111' and 'aaaaa.' This validation helps to reduce failed tax filings due to invalid EINs and account numbers.

We have started automatically sending companies through the enrollment process in sandbox. When the /start_implementation endpoint is hit, or you “confirm and submit” in Console, assuming all other validations are complete, the company will automatically have their implementation status set to “complete." This change enables you to build automated testing and QA against our sandbox environment for the Enrollment process.

When you confirm and submit in Console, or hit the /start_implementation endpoint, we will now start requiring the company’s start date to be in the future of the current date. Read our docs for more information on validations around submitting to Check.
