Introducing Netchex One-Screen Payroll
No more guesswork. No more scrambling. Every payroll run with confidence.
OneScreen Payroll brings every critical payroll task into a single, intelligent dashboard, including PTO, timecard approvals, missed punch corrections, benefit and deduction updates, onboarding completions, workflow approvals, compliance checks, and exception resolution.
Real-time readiness tracking shows exactly what’s left before payroll runs, surfacing alerts and outstanding items that could impact accuracy. Admins can take action right from the dashboard, approving multiple timecards, resolving discrepancies, and starting payroll runs without switching screens or juggling reports.
Secure Act 2.0
Federal regulations don’t always show up in the latest headlines, but this one deserves some attention. SECURE 2.0 Act is a sweeping federal law designed to improve retirement security for workers and expand access to employer-sponsored plans.
We’ve invested in system updates, reporting improvements, and workflow enhancements so clients can transition smoothly as each provision takes effect.
- New “Secure Act 2.0” Section on the Compensation Page
- Payroll Dashboard: Outstanding Items Alert
- Enhanced Payroll Processing Alerts (when eligible employees still have pre-tax catch-up contributions)
One Big Beautiful Bill
The IRS has issued new guidance for the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) and expectations around how tips and overtime must be reported. Businesses will need to prepare for updated withholding systems.
Netchex is committed to supporting customers through this transition by including the FLSA Overtime Premium calculations in W-2 Box 14 in 2025 and 2026.
