Product Updates
Product Area | Type | Summary | Release Note |
---|---|---|---|
Forms | Improvement | Updated 2021 W-4 form | The W-4 form was updated for 2021. It includes changes for non-resident aliens. For any 2020 W-4s that were initiated but not completed, the final, saved copy will now include the 2021 format. This not only applies to employees selecting “Save Final,” but also to documents currently going through workflow. |
Forms | Issue | Fixed I-9 history display issue | The I-9 form history did not always display, especially if the form was uploaded instead of completing the E-form. |
Forms | Issue | Updated I-9 footers | Previously, the I-9 footer read, “Form I-9 Instructions 10/21/2019.” This has been updated to “Form I-9 10/21/2019.” |
Forms | Issue | Several I-9 formatting corrections | The I-9 form was reformatted to address issues with page 13 occasionally printing as a blank page and Section 3 wrapping to the next page and to expand the email field to display longer email addresses. |
Forms | Issue | Fixed display issue for I-9 Section 2 State field | After completing I-9 Section 2, the employer State field in Section 2 did not always display when viewing the form. This has been corrected. |
Reports | Improvement | Updated Assigned date display on Checklist Completion report | The Assigned date on the Checklist Completion report did not display the full year, which made it difficult when attempting to Force Complete documents that were assigned in the same month but different years. The full date and time now appear. |
