Assignar Pay Product Release – October 26, 2026

TL;DR

• Payroll with fewer corrections — Sunday cost-code changes, daily overtime bands, allowance exclusions, and public-holiday timesheets follow the right rules with less manual fix-up.
• Workers and timesheets you can filter by tag — weekly summaries flag roster and timesheet exceptions earlier.
• Tags on assets and other resources — find and manage the people and equipment connected to the work.
• Daily Records that forms and timesheets follow — scheduled and unscheduled workers land on the relevant record.
• Faster everyday screens, and stronger protection for payroll content — the scheduler, bulk equipment timesheets, cost codes, reports, and large lists are easier to move through.

Context

This note covers October 18–25, 2026. The week brought 93 improvements across payroll, workforce management, job costing, scheduling, and project operations.

Themes from the week

• More accurate payroll: Payroll now better supports Sunday cost-code changes, daily overtime bands, allowance exclusions, and public-holiday timesheets, so pay teams apply the right rules with less manual correction.
• Better workforce visibility: Filter worker profiles and imported timesheets by tags. Weekly summaries flag roster and timesheet exceptions earlier.
• Flexible resource management: Assets and other resources can now be organised with tags, so the people and equipment connected to the work are easier to find, filter, and manage.
• Smoother daily records: Worker forms and timesheets follow the relevant Daily Record more consistently, which improves data capture for scheduled and unscheduled workers.
• Stronger project and commercial workflows: Progress continued across hire-in registers, purchase requisitions, subcontractor claims, project approvals, licences and conditions, hazardous substances registers, item tracking, and HSEQ workflows. Commercial, compliance, and operational information stay connected in one place.
• Faster everyday performance: Scheduler loading, bulk equipment timesheet processing, cost-code management, reports, and large lists have been refined so common workflows feel faster and easier to navigate.
• Security and reliability: Protection for payroll-related content is stronger after a stored cross-site scripting issue was addressed. Audit tracking for financial fields is improved. API and public-holiday processing issues are corrected. PDF and quote content is more reliable.

These weekly summaries are indexed for the Assignar Pay Support Agent, so answers about recent product changes stay current.

What's new

Payroll that applies the right rules

Payroll now better supports Sunday cost-code changes, daily overtime bands, allowance exclusions, and public-holiday timesheets. Pay teams spend less time correcting a week by hand.

What it does:

• Sunday cost-code changes — a cost code that changes on Sunday is supported more accurately
• Daily overtime bands — daily overtime is applied with less manual correction
• Allowance exclusions — exclusions on allowances are supported more accurately
• Public-holiday timesheets — a timesheet on a public holiday follows the holiday treatment more reliably

Who benefits: Payroll admins closing the week, and project managers who need Sunday work, overtime, allowances, and public holidays on the right cost code and the right rule.

Filter workers and imported timesheets by tag

Worker profiles and imported timesheets can be filtered by tags. Weekly summaries flag roster and timesheet exceptions earlier, so a mismatch is visible before the week is processed.

What it does:

• Filter worker profiles by tags — narrow the worker list to the crew you need
• Filter imported timesheets by tags — find imported time for that tagged group
• Roster exceptions on the weekly summary — a roster exception is flagged earlier
• Timesheet exceptions on the weekly summary — a timesheet exception is flagged earlier

Who benefits: Payroll admins and foremen reviewing the week, and coordinators who organise crews by tag.

Tags on assets and other resources

Assets and other resources can now be organised with tags. The people and equipment connected to the work are easier to find, filter, and manage.

What it does:

• Tag an asset — group plant and equipment the way the job is organised
• Tag other resources — use the same tags beyond assets
• Find and filter by tag — locate the resource from its tag

Who benefits: Schedulers, project managers, and plant coordinators who need the right equipment and resources on the job.

Forms and timesheets that follow the Daily Record

Worker forms and timesheets now follow the relevant Daily Record more consistently. Data capture is more reliable for scheduled and unscheduled workers.

What it does:

• Forms follow the Daily Record — a worker form stays with the record it belongs to
• Timesheets follow the Daily Record — the timesheet stays with that same record
• Scheduled workers — the record matches the worker who was on the plan
• Unscheduled workers — a worker added on the day still lands on the relevant Daily Record

Who benefits: Foremen and supervisors capturing the day, and payroll and project admins who need the form and the timesheet on the same Daily Record.

Project, commercial, and compliance workflows

Progress continued across hire-in registers, purchase requisitions, subcontractor claims, project approvals, licences and conditions, hazardous substances registers, item tracking, and HSEQ workflows. Commercial, compliance, and operational information stay connected in one place.

What it does:

• Hire-in registers, purchase requisitions, and subcontractor claims — continued improvements to those commercial records
• Project approvals, licences, and conditions — continued improvements to those project records
• Hazardous substances registers, item tracking, and HSEQ — continued improvements, kept with the commercial and operational record

Who benefits: Project managers, commercial and finance teams, HSEQ leads, and supervisors who need the hire, the claim, the approval, and the compliance record together.

Faster scheduler, timesheets, cost codes, reports, and lists

Scheduler loading, bulk equipment timesheet processing, cost-code management, reports, and large lists have been refined. Common workflows feel faster and easier to navigate.

What it does:

• Scheduler loading — the scheduler opens with less waiting
• Bulk equipment timesheets — processing a batch of equipment timesheets is smoother
• Cost-code management — working through cost codes is easier
• Reports — reports are easier to move through
• Large lists — long lists are easier to navigate

Who benefits: Schedulers building the week, payroll teams processing equipment time in bulk, and anyone working through cost codes, reports, or a long list.

Security, audit, and more reliable documents

Protection for payroll-related content is stronger: a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been addressed. Audit tracking for financial fields is improved. API and public-holiday processing issues are corrected. PDF and quote content is more reliable.

What it does:

• Payroll content — a stored cross-site scripting issue in payroll-related content has been addressed
• Financial field audit — changes to financial fields are tracked more completely
• API — processing issues on the API are corrected
• Public-holiday processing — processing issues for public holidays are corrected
• PDFs — PDF content is more reliable
• Quotes — quote content is more reliable

Who benefits: Payroll and finance teams who rely on the audit trail, and anyone sending a quote or a PDF that has to match the record.

Why it matters for construction teams

• Sunday work and public holidays need less repair. Cost-code changes on Sunday, daily overtime bands, allowance exclusions, and public-holiday timesheets are supported more accurately, so the pay week needs less manual correction.
• A tagged crew is easier to review. Filtering worker profiles and imported timesheets by tag, and seeing roster and timesheet exceptions on the weekly summary earlier, helps a foreman and a payroll admin catch a mismatch before the week is closed.
• Plant and resources can be grouped the way the job is run. Tags on assets and other resources make the equipment and the people connected to the work easier to find.
• The Daily Record holds the form and the timesheet. Scheduled and unscheduled workers are captured more consistently, so the day on site and the time in payroll start from the same record.
• The commercial and compliance record stays together. Hire-in, purchase requisitions, subcontractor claims, project approvals, licences and conditions, hazardous substances, item tracking, and HSEQ stay connected, so the job is not split across separate lists.
• The screens used every morning move faster. Scheduler loading, bulk equipment timesheets, cost codes, reports, and large lists take friction out of planning and review.
• Payroll content and the documents you send are more dependable. A stored cross-site scripting issue in payroll content is addressed, financial fields have stronger audit tracking, API and public-holiday processing issues are corrected, and PDF and quote content is more reliable.
