What's new in Greenshades

• Product area: Payroll

  Treasury tipped occupation codes now stored on positions

  Positions in Settings > Company Structure now include an optional Treasury tipped occupation code (TTOC), the value the 2026 W-2 reports in Box 14B for tipped employees. Each code is checked against the Treasury list when you save a position, import it, or send it through the API.

  For users with tipped employees and for integration partners using the positions endpoints.

  Next step: Add a TTOC to each tipped position in Company Structure.

  Overtime premium calculation follows earning code configuration

  The overtime premium calculation in year end close now checks each earning code’s Contributes to Regular Rate of Pay setting when it runs. 2026 amounts can differ from 2025 for the same employees; sick pay, for example, no longer counts.

  Next step: Review the Contributes to Regular Rate of Pay setting on your earning codes before year-end close.

• Product area: HR

  Employee list loads faster for large workspaces

  The admin employee list was making a duplicate call that loaded it twice. Removing the extra call cuts load time for large employee counts by roughly half.

• Product area: Time & attendance

  Timesheet import entries refresh faster

  The refresh now filters by workspace, so timesheet import entries update faster.

• Product area: Platform & API, Time & attendance

  New time-off endpoints in the public API

  Developers can now assign time-off codes to an employee, update an existing assignment, and update a workspace-level time-off code definition through the API.

  For integration partners and developers.

• Product area: Taxes & compliance, Payroll

  NY MCTMT now reports by zone

  Totals now split into Zone 1 (the five NYC boroughs) and Zone 2 (Dutchess, Nassau, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Suffolk, and Westchester counties), so what you file matches how Payroll tracks the tax. Zone rates are set and assigned in Payroll.

  For clients reporting NY MCTMT through Greenshades Payroll Tax Service.

• Product area: Payroll

  Full-year pay run results in a single request

  Clients with very large pay run volumes can now pull a full year of pay run results in one request, including for the Pay Run Summary report, without splitting it into smaller reports.

• Product area: Payroll

  Payroll settings page now open to clients

  Payroll settings that used to be managed by Greenshades now live under Settings > Payroll > General Settings, so you can update them without opening a request. Settings that cannot be changed after activation show a warning first.

• Product area: Payroll

  Start date for combined ACH batching

  A start date hides ACH files created before it from the available-to-batch page, so clients with years of ACH history no longer scroll through thousands of old files.

• Product area: Taxes & compliance, Payroll

  Colorado Occupational Privilege Tax now covers the employer portion

  Payroll now calculates the employer portion of Colorado OPT, in addition to the employee portion.

• Product area: Payroll

  Fewer timeouts in Pay History, the payroll wizard, and workspace pages

  Pay History reports now load without timing out under heavy use, the payroll wizard Submit button no longer stays grayed out after a failed background calculation, and workspace settings and module counts load faster and more reliably.

• Product area: Taxes & compliance

  Tax engine updates across six states

  Rate changes, new local taxes, and calculation corrections for Oregon, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alaska, Kentucky, and Georgia are now in the tax engine, along with PFML calculation corrections and a new benefit type for Trump Accounts.

• Product area: Payroll

  More error alerts in the Pay Run Assistant

  The Pay Run Assistant for the Enterprise Payroll Wizard now flags four more issues before you submit: time-off pay hours above an employee's available balance, an earning added to meet minimum wage, a direct deposit change since the pay run started, and a missing primary work location, which blocks SUTA calculation. Each alert links to the affected record.

• Product area: Payroll

  Adjustment runs now match the rest of the wizard

  The Employees step on adjustment runs now shows exactly the employees you selected for the adjustment, and the Add Employees button is gone.

• Product area: Taxes & compliance

  Massachusetts PFML contributions tracked separately

  Greenshades now tracks Family-Employer, Family-Employee, Medical-Employer, and Medical-Employee contributions as four separate values, so the MA PFML e-file uses exact figures instead of an estimated split.

  For clients filing through Greenshades Payroll Tax Service.
