May 2026 product updates from Greenshades

PSL rules differ by jurisdiction, and manually staying current with each one is a compliance risk waiting to happen. Greenshades now offers an Automated PSL mode that handles accrual configuration for you — values are populated automatically based on your highest employee count ruleset for each jurisdiction, so you're not relying on manual entry to stay within the rules.

Clients who prefer to manage their own settings can stay on Manual mode. Contact Support to switch.

Void workflows have always had more options than were immediately obvious — which led to teams choosing the wrong path and ending up with rounding discrepancies or unintended arrears. The updated workflow walks you through a guided decision tree based on whether repayment is required, so the right option surfaces without guesswork.

Reissued checks now copy totals directly from the original, eliminating the recalculation step that caused rounding differences. Clients also get a new Reverse and Reissue option that combines the benefits of both approaches in a single workflow.

The previous ACH workflow blurred the line between batching and approval, which left room for duplicate processing errors. The updated workflow separates these into two distinct steps — batch first, then approve or reject before anything downloads. Rejected batches return to the batching step for correction, and warnings appear if a previously downloaded batch is being accessed again.

The new workflow is available now by request. Contact Support for early access.

California's annual employee pay data report — required for private employers with 100 or more payroll employees, including at least one California employee — has a filing deadline of May 13, 2026 for Reporting Year 2025. Until now, generating a compliant file meant exporting raw payroll data and manually rebuilding it to match CRD specifications.

Greenshades now generates the report as a downloadable .xlsx file directly from your system data. Select a snapshot pay period, and the report handles the grouping, pay band calculations, and CRD field formatting. An Employee Detail tab shows the inputs behind every grouped row so you can review before filing.

A small number of fields not stored in Greenshades — including NAICS codes and observer-perception demographic groupings — will still need to be completed before uploading to the CRD portal.
