What's new

Payroll bulk actions — clean up mistakes fast

Correct individual entries or reset in bulk when payroll data needs a fresh start — no more one-by-one cleanup before export.

What it does:

Who benefits: Payroll admins cleaning up exceptions before pay run, finance teams reducing export errors, and ops leads fixing bulk import mistakes without starting over.

Bulk SoR from dockets — field paperwork to billable rates

Turn field dockets into Schedule of Rates line items in one go instead of re-keying site data into billing.

What it does:

• Bulk SoR creation from dockets — convert field docket data into billable SoR entries in a single action
• Less re-keying — commercial teams bill from site records without manual transcription
• Faster billing cycles — project admins move from docket sign-off to invoice-ready rates sooner

Where you'll find it: Schedule of Rates and docket processing flows.

Who benefits: Project admins converting site dockets to billable work, commercial managers matching field output to contract rates, and AR teams billing against verified site records.

New pay cycles — Monthly and twice-a-month

Configure pay cycles that match how your business actually pays — not just weekly or fortnightly.

What it does:

• Monthly pay cycles — support for organisations that pay once a month
• Twice-a-month cycles — align with semi-monthly payroll schedules common in commercial construction
• Flexible payroll configuration — payroll admins set the cycle that matches contracts and cash flow

Where you'll find it: Payroll pay cycle configuration.

Who benefits: Payroll admins managing monthly or semi-monthly crews, finance teams aligning pay runs with cash flow, and HR leads matching employment agreements.

Paid break rules — flexible, compliant configurations

Model paid breaks the way your EBAs and awards require — with rules that match real site conditions.

• Faster review — payroll admins scan the week and spot exceptions before export

Where you'll find it: Payroll calendar view.

Who benefits: Payroll admins reviewing weekly pay before export, foremen checking crew activity types, and finance teams reconciling pay against project records.

Live schedule updates — allocations stay in sync

When job times change in the scheduler, allocations update automatically — no manual re-alignment across the roster.

What it does:

• Automatic allocation updates — when job start or end times change, linked allocations adjust to match
• Fewer scheduling drift errors — ops leads trust that the roster reflects the latest job times
• Less rework for foremen — crews see accurate shift times without a separate update step

Where you'll find it: Scheduler when editing job times on allocated orders.

Who benefits: Ops leads managing shifting job times, foremen checking crew allocations before Monday stand-up, and project managers keeping labour plans aligned with site reality.

Smart timesheets — prefilled from allocations

Activities and equipment times prefill from scheduler allocations so crews spend less time re-entering what was already planned.

What it does:

• Activity times prefilled — labour activities carry over from allocations into timesheets
• Equipment times prefilled — equipment entries match what was scheduled without double entry
• Faster timesheet completion — foremen and field staff submit accurate times with fewer taps

Where you'll find it: Timesheets when creating entries linked to scheduler allocations.

Who benefits: Foremen logging crew hours on site, plant coordinators tracking equipment utilisation, and payroll admins receiving timesheets that match the plan.

My Shifts speed boost — pre-seeded default times

Default times are ready when crews open My Shifts — less tapping, faster capture at the start and end of shift.

What it does:

• Pre-seeded default times — shift start and end times are populated automatically based on allocation data
• Faster field capture — workers confirm or adjust rather than entering from scratch
• Fewer missed submissions — quicker flow means crews are more likely to submit on time

Where you'll find it: My Shifts on mobile and web.

Who benefits: Field workers submitting shift times on site, foremen chasing timely timesheet submissions, and payroll admins receiving complete data before pay run.

Quicker Scheduler navigation — back after create/edit

Return to the Scheduler immediately after creating or editing an allocation — no detours through intermediate screens.

What it does:

• Return to Scheduler after create/edit — land back on the planning board when you're done
• Faster roster building — ops leads add and adjust allocations without losing their place

Where you'll find it: Scheduler allocation create and edit flows.

Who benefits: Ops leads building weekly rosters, dispatchers making last-minute allocation changes, and project admins managing multi-site labour plans.

Scheduling housekeeping — health checks and drift cleanup

Background health checks and drift cleanup keep schedules accurate without manual audits.

What it does:

• Health checks — the system identifies scheduling inconsistencies before they cause downstream issues
• Drift cleanup — orphaned or stale allocation data is cleaned up automatically
• More reliable rosters — ops leads trust the scheduler reflects the current plan

Where you'll find it: Scheduler (background maintenance).

Who benefits: Ops leads managing complex multi-site rosters, project admins relying on accurate allocation data for timesheets, and payroll admins who need scheduler data to match pay records.

Actionable My Shifts reminders — straight to what's next

The My Shifts "To Do" banner now takes you directly to the action you need — no hunting through menus.

What it does:

• Actionable "To Do" banner — tap the reminder and land on the exact task waiting for you
• Faster field workflows — workers complete pending actions without navigating away from My Shifts

Where you'll find it: My Shifts "To Do" banner.

Who benefits: Field workers with pending shift actions, foremen ensuring crews complete required submissions, and ops leads reducing incomplete timesheet follow-ups.

Send from shared mailboxes — quotes and invoices

Email quotes and invoices from a shared company address so clients see a consistent sender — not individual user inboxes.

What it does:

• Shared mailbox sending — configure and send quotes and invoices from a shared email address
• Professional client communication — AR and estimating teams present a unified company identity
• Fewer reply-to mixups — clients respond to the right inbox every time

Where you'll find it: Quotes and Invoices email sending flows.

Who benefits: Estimators sending quotes to clients, AR clerks issuing invoices, and commercial managers maintaining brand consistency across outgoing documents.

Quote-to-order continuity — compatible line items

Order line items are quote-compatible so converting a won quote to an order doesn't mean re-keying every line.

What it does:

• Quote-compatible order line items — order structure matches quote line items for seamless handoff
• Less rework at conversion — project admins move from accepted quote to active order without data loss
• Cleaner estimating — only one base-bid variation per order is allowed, reducing duplicate bid confusion

Where you'll find it: Quotes, Orders, and Order Builder.

Who benefits: Estimators handing off won work to project teams, project admins creating orders from quotes, and commercial managers tracking bid-to-order conversion without gaps.

Inline supplier creation — fewer detours during AP processing

Create a supplier on the spot while processing supplier invoice documents — no switching to a separate setup screen.

What it does:

• Inline supplier creation — add a new supplier without leaving the supplier invoice document flow
• Faster AP processing — AP clerks match documents to suppliers without context switching
• Fewer stalled invoices — new suppliers are set up the moment they're needed

Where you'll find it: Supplier invoice document processing flows.

Who benefits: AP clerks processing incoming supplier invoices, finance teams onboarding new vendors, and project admins matching costs to the right supplier.

Faster times imports — batched queries

Timesheet imports run quicker with batched database queries — large imports finish sooner during busy onboarding or sync periods.

What it does:

• Batched query imports — times data imports process in optimised batches
• Shorter wait times — ops teams import large timesheet datasets without long delays

Where you'll find it: Times import flows.

Who benefits: Ops leads importing historical timesheet data, payroll admins syncing times from external systems, and project admins onboarding new job sites with existing time records.

Platform hardening — safer actions across core modules

Core modules now run on stronger, more predictable server actions — fewer unexpected errors and tighter safeguards when you save, update, or delete data.

What it does:

• Modernised server actions — Users, Scheduling, Assets, Timesheets, Reports, Orders, Projects, Quotes, SoR, and Workpacks all benefit from more reliable action handling
• Write-only form secrets — form secrets can be set without being revealed in the UI
• Primary-owner org logo protection — only primary account owners can update organisation logos
• Safer team member management — member management aligned to hierarchy access rules
• Clearer allocation naming — consistent naming keeps scheduling data tidy across the platform

Where you'll find it: Across Users, Scheduling, Assets, Timesheets, Reports, Orders, Projects, Quotes, Schedule of Rates, Workpacks, Forms, and Account settings.

Who benefits: Every team member who saves data in Assignar Pay — fewer failed actions, clearer permissions, and more consistent behaviour across modules.

Why it matters for construction teams

• Payroll that matches how you actually pay: Monthly and twice-a-month cycles, flexible paid break rules, and bulk cleanup actions mean payroll admins spend less time fighting the system and more time getting crews paid correctly — critical when EBA minimums and break rules vary by trade.
• From site docket to billable rate without re-keying: Bulk SoR from dockets closes the gap between what happened on site and what gets invoiced — project admins bill faster and commercial managers defend rates with field evidence.
• Scheduling and timesheets that stay aligned: Live allocation updates, prefilled timesheets, and pre-seeded My Shifts times cut the double entry that causes pay exceptions every Monday morning.
• Commercial workflows without detours: Shared mailbox sending, quote-to-order continuity, and inline supplier creation keep estimators, AP, and project admins moving through bid-to-bill cycles without context switching.
• A platform you can trust during busy weeks: Stronger server actions, write-only secrets, and hierarchy-aligned team management mean fewer failed saves and clearer permissions when multiple roles are working the same job.

Getting started

• Payroll bulk actions: Open Payroll, select entries that need correction, and use delete or reset — individually or in bulk — before your next export.
• Bulk SoR from dockets: In Schedule of Rates, select field dockets and run the bulk SoR creation flow to convert site records into billable rate lines.
• Pay cycles: Go to Payroll settings and configure Monthly or Twice-a-month pay cycles to match your payroll schedule.
• Paid break rules: In Payroll settings, configure paid break rules and enable minimum hours compliance where paid breaks should count toward minimums.
• Payroll calendar: Open the Payroll calendar and confirm activity types are visible on each entry for faster weekly review.
• Live schedule updates: Edit job times in the Scheduler and confirm linked allocations update automatically.
• Smart timesheets: Create a Timesheet from a scheduler allocation and verify activities and equipment times prefill correctly.
• My Shifts: Open My Shifts on mobile and confirm default times are pre-seeded; tap the To Do banner to jump straight to pending actions.
• Shared mailbox sending: Configure a shared mailbox in email settings, then send a Quote or Invoice from that address.
• Quote to order: Convert an accepted Quote to an Order and confirm line items carry over without re-keying.
• Inline supplier creation: While processing a supplier invoice document, use create supplier inline when a new vendor is needed.
