Hey DSPTCH users! 🎉 We've been working hard to bring you some fantastic improvements to make managing compliance and payroll even easier. This release packs a lot of powerful features that will streamline your workflows and give you better visibility into your projects. Let's dive in!

💰 Gusto Payroll Integration​

We're excited to announce our new Gusto payroll integration! If you're using Gusto for payroll processing, DSPTCH now automatically detects your Gusto connection through Finch and provides a specialized export format tailored specifically for Gusto's requirements.

What's New:​

  • Smart Export Detection: DSPTCH automatically detects when you're connected to Gusto via Finch
  • Optimized Format: Export time cards in the exact format Gusto expects
  • Seamless Integration: No manual configuration needed - it just works!
  • Backwards Compatible: Existing export workflows remain unchanged

This feature makes payroll processing with Gusto incredibly smooth - just export your time cards and import directly into Gusto without any formatting hassles!

📋 Smart Compliance Check Assignment​

Managing compliance just got a lot smarter! We've introduced automatic assignment of compliance checks to the right people on your team.

How It Works:​

  • Project Manager Auto-Assignment: Compliance checks for projects are automatically assigned to project managers
  • Smart Logic: The system identifies the most appropriate assignee based on project roles
  • Manual Override: You can still manually assign checks if needed
  • No More Lost Tasks: Every compliance check now has a clear owner from day one

This means compliance checks won't slip through the cracks anymore - they'll automatically land in the right person's task list!

🎯 Enhanced PWA Penalties Dashboard​

We've given the PWA penalties section a major upgrade with better organization, clearer information, and improved performance.

Performance Improvements:​

  • Faster Loading: PWA penalties pages now load significantly faster with smart lazy loading
  • Better Responsiveness: Reduced wait times when navigating penalty data

Clearer Penalty Information:​

  • Warning Indicators: Visual alerts when viewing employer-filtered penalty data
  • Advisory Tooltips: Clear explanations for advisory amounts vs. actual penalties
  • Improved Layout: Better organization of penalty cards for easier scanning
  • Color-Coded Amounts: Yellow for advisory amounts, red for actual penalties

✅ Better Compliance Check Management​

We've made several improvements to help you stay on top of compliance requirements more effectively.

Priority Visibility:​

  • Priority Badges: Compliance checks now display clear priority levels (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
  • Color-Coded System: Easy visual scanning to identify urgent items
  • Smart Filtering: Onboarding banners focus on high and critical priority items only
