A new minor version number for a new significant feature addition! This patch introduces the Employer Action Queue, along with a swath of other core process–related improvements.

• Added a list of upcoming processes and required actions to the employer dashboard
• Improved multiple aspects of our core process to make contributions/matches run more smoothly and reach terminal states that require contacting support less frequently
• Added contribution change count to summary popup when uploading employee spreadsheet
• Added “no changes” button to eliminate the need to re-upload the same spreadsheet when your upcoming payroll is the same as the previous one
• Added ability for employees to edit a personal check disbursement method from the user settings screen
• Added the ability to link multiple ACH transfer accounts during signup
• Fixed refunds being counted as deposits in the Monthly Activity graph
• Replaced “employer name” with “company name” in email notifications
• Added help sections for the action queue and banking status, and moved the photo ID guidelines page from an in-app modal to a new help page on the website
• Improved our back-end application logging to assist us in debugging and finding potential problems before they happen

The only change introduced by this update was updating/migrating a piece of third-party software we use on our cloud environments to the newest version as pursuant to the results of an internal security audit.

This patch consists of lots of small bug fixes and a couple of minor quality-of-life UI additions for employers.

• Fixed auto-population of bank name sometimes not happening in disbursement settings
• Fixed user statements table hiding older statements & removed broken pagination controls
• Added a more descriptive tooltip for what to put in the “legal name” field
• Fixed a bug that prevented the re-uploading of ID documents after closing an unfinished registration session and coming back later
• Replaced certain hard-coded email addresses with the correct support email for each environment
• Made some text changes to improve clarity in the contribution/match transfer request emails sent to employers
• Fixed a problem with user permissions when communicating with our banking partner
• Adjusted the auto-logout timers to be more in line with industry standards & tested the auto-logout feature on more devices/browsers
• Removed incorrect “reserve account” label for some employer banking statements
• Fixed some element spacing issues on the “Plan” screen
• Fixed a rare problem arising around overlapping contribution & match SLA periods
• Updated the HR approver email field in employer signup to work the same as other email field validation throughout the rest of the application
• Added banking services status indicators to the employer dashboard

This patch includes a simple industry-standard feature we were lacking, as well a few miscellaneous bug fixes.

• Added automatic logout w/ a countdown when user is idle for a long period of time
• “Invalid ask zero” notifications are now CCed to our support email
• Fixed old/expired payrolls mistakenly being picked up by our time-based automatic process
• Defaulted apt/suite to “N/A” in check disbursement addresses
• Converted non-signup tooltips to inline help text on mobile
