What's new

Feature 1: Payroll — Process Leave Timesheets by Type

Process leave by category (Annual, Sick, Unpaid, etc.) for cleaner approvals and fewer manual fixes. This improvement streamlines leave management and reduces errors in payroll processing.

• What it does: Allows payroll administrators to process leave timesheets organized by leave type rather than as a single bulk group, giving you finer control over leave approvals and processing.
• Where it lives: Payroll module, Timesheets section.
• Who benefits: Payroll administrators, HR teams, and finance teams who manage leave accruals and need clean audit trails for different leave categories.
• Impact: Expect faster payroll runs, clearer audit trails, and fewer manual corrections when processing employee leave. Categorized leave processing reduces errors and improves compliance with employment agreements and regulations.

Feature 2: Optimized Permission Checks

Behind-the-scenes improvements to how permissions are validated across the platform. While you won't see visual changes, you'll experience faster page loads and more consistent access controls.

• What it does: Optimizes the technical infrastructure that checks user permissions and access rights throughout Assignar Pay, making these security checks faster without compromising safety.
• Where it lives: System-wide improvement affecting all modules and features.
• Who benefits: All users, especially teams with complex permission structures or large organizations where permission checks can impact performance.
• Impact: Quicker screen loads, snappier navigation between features, and consistent access controls—especially noticeable at scale when managing multiple projects and team members.

Why it matters for construction teams

• Streamline payroll cycles: Processing leave by type means faster approval workflows and less time spent manually categorizing or correcting leave entries. Your payroll team can process different leave types in batches that make sense for your business.
• Maintain accurate leave balances: Categorized leave processing improves tracking of different leave entitlements (annual, sick, unpaid, etc.), helping you stay compliant with employment agreements and EBAs that have different accrual rules per leave type.
• Improve audit readiness: Clear separation of leave types creates better documentation trails for audits, employment disputes, or compliance reviews. You can quickly report on specific leave categories without manual data cleanup.
• Better performance at scale: Optimized permissions mean the system stays responsive even as your team grows, you add more projects, or your permission structures become more complex. No more waiting for pages to load or permissions to validate.
