We now support an employer to have the same user as a W2 Employee as well as 1099 Contractor at the same time.

In order to maintain tax compliance, the employees will no longer be able to edit their work state through the white-label.

The tax fields - state_tax_numbers & state_sui_numbers will no longer be a part of the Company object. These fields will now be a part of the Tax Setup page.

We are adding these new required fields - mail_city, mail_address, mail_state, mail_zip for companies to be able to differentiate between their registered business address and the address they would like to receive correspondence. These fields will also appear in the white-label company onboarding. For all existing production companies without a mailing address, the mailing address fields will automatically be populated with the values provided in the business address fields

We have now deprecated the practice of rolling forward the check date to next valid business day incase an invalid check_date entry was made by the employer. In such instances, the employers will now be notified of an invalid check date and will be required to resubmit the check with a valid date.

The is_sandbox flag for companies will now update automatically based on the the API key used to create the company.

The FEIN number will now be read-only to ensure compliance in tax filings. It'll will no longer be editable through the white-label or API once the employer onboarding form has been submitted. In case of a change in the FEIN after submission, the partner will need to create a Zendesk Support ticket for Zeal.

When adding a new company through the white-label, a partner will be provided with an option to indicate whether the new company will need a payroll migration or not.

We have deprecated the use_bank_verification selection and will make it automatically required for all companies created with a Production Key.

We have renamed the Live Key to Production Key. The API key used to create a company will determine the Production or Test status of a company. In order to run payroll, the company needs to be created using a Production Key. Learn more about API keys here.
