Assisted Deductions Processing Delays Due to Elevated Demand
Identified

We have made significant progress on the backlog of Assisted Deduction requests created prior to Wed 1/7. We are updating our target to have the backlog fully cleared by end of day Mon 1/19.

Note that requests initiated on or after Wed 1/7 are not impacted by these delays.

As before, please note that while Assisted Deduction work is being completed in payroll systems within our standard 2-business-day SLA for requests created on or after 1/7, you may notice a delay in when a “200 Success” status is reflected in the Finch API or Dashboard. During this period of elevated volume, Finch is operating under an enhanced QA protocol to ensure data accuracy. We expect all system statuses to be fully caught up to completion rates by end of day Fri 1/23.
