Reversals to be included in Positive Pay files

Background: Reversals in Greenshades payroll are a new concept. As such, we are continuing to improve our support of reporting surrounding these reversed statements.

What’s new?

This item required some back end work in order for the reversed checks to appear in the file. We have also added some UI elements to make it easier for clients to distinguish their reversed checks.

Add employee profile links to ACH error messages

Background: Historically error messages on our ACH file generation were not very explanatory and led to many support tickets being created to resolve these issues. In an ongoing effort to allow self service of these types of issues we have been incrementally improving these error messages to be more informative and helpful.

What’s new?

Previously we added specific employee IDs to these messages, as well as a link to the Void Checks page. With this item we have made those employee IDs direct links to the employee’s Pay Settings page on their profile. With this a client can be instantly taken to the page where they can validate the employee’s pay information and make changes if necessary.  

Improve Pay History Employee Liability Report

Background: During implementation clients import pay history from their previous payroll systems and not all of this is synced to the payroll database. However, these clients still have a need to view their liability per employee from this imported pay history.

What’s new?

With this item we have added new columns to the pay history version of this report so that taxes can be broken out and shown individually rather than lumped together under a blank code. This has made the pay history version of this report comparable to the payroll version.

New State Tax Levy Garnishment Type

Background: Previously clients who had employee garnishments that were meant to be a percent of gross income, rather than a fixed amount or a percent of disposable income, had to use a work around to garnish their employees in this way.

What’s new?

With this item we have created a new State Tax Levy type of garnishment that will allow clients to use a percent of gross calculation. We have also added an exemption amount, this value will be entirely exempt from the garnishment and remain untouched. This garnishment type will have an option for each state, and retain other state specific options in garnishment setup.
