Product updates

Today we are launching the Notifications and Communications Console / APIs Beta. This new feature lets you easily track key customer events and send white-labeled emails to both employers and workers based on those events. The Beta version includes options to send eight of the most critical customer communications.

If you’d like to read more about this feature, you can find an overview and links to each individual Communication available at this Help Center article. If you’d like to be included in the Beta, reach out to your account manager to get started.

Check remains the only embedded-payroll provider to offer comprehensive credit- and fraud-loss protection. As part of this commitment, Check automatically downgrades certain companies to standard processing based on their risk profile. We are now offering partners the flexibility to override these risk decisions at any time. This means that at onboarding or after a failed funding, partners can guarantee accelerated processing to key accounts and can override Check’s downgrade decisions. In exchange, partners accept risk for that company for a defined period. For more information, see our help center article.

We’ve launched a new API parameter that enables users to generate and launch an employee-specific view of the Company-Defined Attributes Component. This allows partners who work with very large employers to view this component for one employee at a time, which will be more performant and better suit the needs of an employer-focused workflow.

More documentation can be found here.

We’ve launched two exciting additions to the External Payroll API this week:

1. Partners can now upload historical payroll data from prior years using the External Payroll API! This feature should be especially helpful for partners that are migrating payroll businesses onto Check from in-house solutions or other embedded providers.

2. We’ve added two new fields to the External Payroll API: taxable_wages and gross_taxable_wages. This will enable customers who know the taxable wages for historical payrolls to upload those directly to Check via API during the setup process. It will also allow customers who want to see the taxable wages that Check has calculated on historical payrolls to view those via the API.
