The Simplest Way to New Software — Now Smarter Than Ever

Upgrading from Darwin doesn’t have to be disruptive, risky, or all‑at‑once.

With Cohesion, you can move forward at your pace — and start gaining efficiency immediately.


🚀 A Better Way to Run Payroll

Imagine being able to run and monitor all payrolls, across all your companies — from one web‑based dashboard.

  • Action icons to review, edit, rerun, or manage payroll instantly

✅ Upgrade One Client at a Time

No “big switch.” Move clients to Cohesion individually, at your pace.

✅ Your Data Moves With You

All payroll and client data is automatically transferred — no re‑keying, no rebuilding.

And if needed, Darwin remains available, so you're never forced into a hard cutover.

  • No more payroll, client, or user locks

  • No more switching companies

  • All payrolls across all companies on one screen

Introducing Cohesion Release 1.3: Smarter Payroll, Cleaner Data, More Control

Cohesion Release 1.3 is here—and it brings a broad set of enhancements designed to make payroll processing smoother, reporting more reliable, and day‑to‑day administration more intuitive.

This release focuses on what matters most to payroll and HR teams: accuracy, visibility, and efficiency. From improved Auto‑Pay handling to better cockpit visibility and new reporting options, Release 1.3 continues to strengthen Cohesion as a modern, scalable payroll platform.

What’s New in Release 1.3

More Control Over Payroll Processing

Several updates in this release give administrators greater precision and flexibility when running payroll:

  • Enhanced Auto‑Pay for smoother and more reliable processing
  • Ability to view one‑time payroll options before submitting payroll
  • One‑time direct deposit bypass, giving flexibility for special pay scenarios
  • Support for paying terminated employees, simplifying off‑cycle and final payrolls
  • Employee Admin Fee enhancements for clearer setup and tracking

These improvements reduce manual work while giving teams better insight into exactly how payroll will process—before hitting submit.

Improved Visibility in the Cockpit

The Cohesion Cockpit continues to evolve with additions that help users quickly understand payroll status at a glance:

  • Highlight current payroll so the active payroll is always clear
  • Timesheet display in the Cockpit expansion area for faster reviews
  • Relate timesheets to payroll profiles, reducing confusion and improving accuracy

This means fewer clicks, less guesswork, and faster decision‑making during payroll runs.

Stronger Reporting and Search Capabilities

Release 1.3 expands both reporting and data lookup features to improve oversight and compliance:

  • Missed Payrolls Report to quickly identify gaps or issues
  • Termed Paid Employees Report for better tracking and auditing
  • SSN added as a searchable field, making it easier to locate records when permitted

These tools give payroll and HR professionals clearer insight into historical and active payroll activity—without extra manual reconciliation.

Enhancements Across the System

Additional updates round out this release with improvements at multiple levels of the platform:

  • Employer ID added at the Employee Federal Tax level
  • HR License added at the system level for clearer licensing management
  • General bug fixes and enhancements across System, Client, and Employee functionality

Together, these updates improve platform stability while refining everyday workflows.


Built for Accuracy. Designed for Efficiency.

Cohesion Release 1.3 reflects our continued commitment to delivering a payroll platform that’s modern, powerful, and practical. By improving visibility, reducing manual steps, and enhancing reporting, this release helps teams spend less time troubleshooting—and more time moving their business forward.
