FICA Exemption Just Got Easier in PayDeck

You can now mark employees as FICA exempt directly in PayDeck.This update makes handling special employment statuses easier by allowing exemptions to be managed at the employee level without manual intervention from support.

Flexible Deduction Control

Choose to apply scheduled deductions on any check, regardless of division. This added flexibility helps companies manage more complex pay structures and ensures deductions occur even when employees work across different departments or locations.

Enhanced WC Classification

Assign WC codes to individual employees for greater accuracy.Previously limited to department-level setup, WC codes can now be customized per employee—leading to cleaner reporting, smoother audits, and more precise classification.

Employees can now clearly view how their paycheck will be split among their direct deposit accounts. The new layout also provides a cleaner, more user-friendly experience, showing precise amounts based on each account’s percentage allocation.

Selecting employees for payroll is now easier with Payroll Lists, which enables clients to select groups of employees based on pay frequency, department, or pay type, rather than choosing them individually.

Effortlessly switch between employer and employee accounts.

With one click, users can now seamlessly navigate between profiles, saving time and boosting efficiency.

By popular request, we’ve introduced a beta version of our PowerGrid feature! This tool makes it easier to manage multiple employees by allowing users to add employees by name, filter by department, select/deselect all employees, add payees, and highlight changes in color. The grid can also be exported as an Excel file for easier data access.
