Background:
For around the past 12 months prior to this release, Greenshades had shut off JEDD withholding on pay runs due to a fundamental gap in our ability to properly choose and assign Ohio JEDDs to the correct taxable work location of each Ohio working employee.
What’s new?
A new method for more accurately pinpointing exact addresses, and how they lie within taxable counties, has enabled the product to always properly assign the correct JEDD taxes to each EE based exactly on where the employee worked.

Background:
The Greenshades payroll engine will utilize reciprocity rules on active pay run withholdings where required. However, it had not yet accounted for reciprocity between Indiana and their partnered states.
What’s new?
The payroll engine will now accommodate all Indiana reciprocity agreements. If an employee lives in Indiana but works in KY, OH, MI, PA, or WI, and has the "Has nonresident certificate" marked in their tax parameters for their work state, all state income tax will be applied to Indiana and not the state where the work was performed. This will not impact employees without the nonresident checkbox marked or any other states not listed.

Background:
A host of areas were identified that could use some improvement on the language and appearance of the payroll codes settings as we received feedback that some certain settings and nomenclature was confusing to users.
What’s new?
A variety of UI bug fixes / enhancements were made that will improve the code setup experience. See the affected screens with their new UI in the images below.
1. Earnings Category Changed name changed from Other to Default.
2. Earnings code setup step changed from “Year End Forms” to “W-2 reporting” with new help text
3. Health Plan setup added additional information about how to setup the plans and what the codes will look like upon completion of the wizard.
4. Deduction / Benefit Arrears have new and more descriptive information added to further explain their operation.
5. There is a new process for Catch-up code selection. The option itself has been moved to one step earlier in the setup wizard. Moreover, once selected, the selectable Tax Types on the Employee Contribution Details step will be filtered to only those that can have a catch-up allowance.
6. The Deduction Tax Type option for “Apply before “Taxes” has been changed in both name and it’s description. The actual functionality remains unchanged.
7. Reworded text for Health Insurance Contribution Limits
8. Time off code setups had a few additions. There is new help text added to the Rollover dates that describe exactly how Rollover Dates and the employees tiers will interact. Moreover, additional changes to title headers and descriptions for accrual methods were added.
