- Dollar amounts were displaying incorrectly on printed checks.
- A Pressure Seal printing issue has been resolved.

An issue preventing Payroll Relief exports to QuickBooks Online has been resolved.
Employee Portal
Document Upload Restored in Employee Portal Fix
Employees can upload Form W-4 and Form I-9 PDFs again to their employer's CloudCabinet folder from the Employee Portal. This had been previously unavailable.
