Assignar Pay Product Release – May 11, 2026

TL;DR

• Bill ad‑hoc work faster -- invoices no longer require a project.
• Payroll you can trust -- corrected leave rules by employment type and rounded timesheet summaries for cleaner totals.
• Smoother partner onboarding -- Supplier Portal access is granted automatically when an account is linked.
• Tighter cost controls -- cost code type locks when created from related entities to prevent mismatches.
• Stronger, faster app -- multiple releases this week plus refreshed AI models for smarter automation.

What's new

Invoice ad‑hoc work without forcing a project

You can now raise invoices that aren't tied to a specific project. For work that doesn't fit neatly into a project record -- callouts, retainers, miscellaneous billables -- billing finally gets out of the way.

What it does:

• Removes the project requirement when creating an invoice
• Keeps existing project-linked invoices unchanged
• Speeds up billing for ad‑hoc, recurring, and miscellaneous work

Where you'll find it: Anywhere you create or edit invoices in Assignar Pay.

Who benefits: Finance and admin teams handling non-project billables, plus anyone billing for work that crosses project boundaries.

Supplier Portal access is automatic on account linking

When a supplier account is linked, Supplier Portal access is now provisioned automatically -- no separate manual access step required.

What it does:

• Grants Supplier Portal access at the moment of linking
• Removes a manual hand-off between operations and partner onboarding
• Gets suppliers transacting faster

Who benefits: Procurement, operations, and supplier admins responsible for onboarding partners.

Cost code type locking from related entities

When a cost code is created from a related entity, its type is now locked to prevent mismatches downstream.

What it does:

• Locks the cost code type at creation time when sourced from a related entity
• Prevents accidental type changes that produce inconsistent cost data
• Keeps reporting and reconciliation clean

Who benefits: Finance, project controls, and anyone relying on consistent cost coding across jobs.

Improvements

Timesheets, payroll, and billing polish

• Timesheet roles resolve automatically -- accurate permissions and smoother approvals without manual role assignment.
• Timesheet summaries round values -- cleaner totals on payroll review and exports.
• Weekly OT2 payroll logic cleaned up -- clearer, more reliable second weekly overtime handling.
• Billing localization and pluralization refined -- clearer, country-friendly wording across the billing experience.

Who benefits: Payroll administrators, finance reviewers, foremen approving timesheets, and any team operating across regions.

Behind-the-scenes engineering quality

• Engineering best practices enabled -- internal guardrails to deliver features faster and safer.

Bug fixes

• Role imports no longer hang -- faster, reliable sync when bringing roles in from connected systems.
• Payroll leave rules use the correct employment type -- accurate entitlements for every worker classification.

Who benefits: Payroll administrators relying on correct leave entitlements, and admins running role imports from connected systems.

Smarter automation

• Refreshed AI models -- updated models power better suggestions and automation across Assignar Pay.

Security & reliability

Multiple releases shipped this week, bringing performance, stability, and security improvements that keep Assignar Pay running fast and safe. Dependency upgrades patched known vulnerabilities and tightened security across the platform.

No action needed. Updates are rolled out automatically.

Why it matters for construction teams

For finance and billing admins: Removing the project requirement on invoices unblocks ad‑hoc billing -- callouts, retainers, and cross-project work get invoiced without workarounds. Combined with refined billing localization, country-specific wording and pluralization read naturally for every region you bill into.

For payroll administrators: Leave rules now reflect the correct employment type, removing a quiet source of entitlement errors. Rounded timesheet summaries and the OT2 cleanup mean payroll reviews look cleaner and reconcile faster. Auto-resolved timesheet roles also cut friction during approvals.

For procurement and operations: Supplier Portal access provisioned on account linking removes a manual onboarding step -- suppliers can transact from day one. Locked cost code types from related entities keep your cost coding consistent across jobs.

For everyone: Multiple platform releases this week and refreshed AI models keep things fast, secure, and smart, with no setup required.

Real-world impact:

• Faster invoicing: Bill ad‑hoc work immediately -- no forced project linkage.
• Truer payroll: Correct leave entitlements by employment type and cleaner timesheet totals.
• Faster supplier onboarding: Portal access granted the moment an account is linked.
• Consistent cost data: Cost code types locked at creation when sourced from related entities.
• Smarter suggestions: Refreshed AI models power better automation across the app.
