What's New

Recent changes and new features rolled out to Mployr. Newest first.

August 2026

New: Automations

A new Automations module: when something happens, run the steps that always follow. Pick a trigger from almost any module, add conditions, and chain actions - send an email or SMS, create an activity or task, approve a timesheet, raise an invoice, update a lead's stage, or wait a while and then act. Rules live in folders, every run is recorded, and duplicate rules are blocked. See the Automations guide.

New: Email

Email is now its own module. Connect your own accounts (Microsoft 365 OAuth or SMTP), verify your sending domains, wrap campaigns in reusable layouts, and build static or dynamic lists. Everything Mployr sends for you - payslips, invoices, campaigns - goes out through your own accounts rather than a shared sender, with logs, suppressions and unsubscribes to match. See the Email guide.

New: Work Health & Safety

Hazards with risk assessment and the hierarchy of control, incidents from report through investigation to closure, scheduled inspections, corrective actions tracked to verification, and workers' compensation claims with benefits, medical certificates, assessments, appeals and staged return-to-work plans. See the Work Health & Safety guide.

Payroll: Payday Super, STP Phase 2 pre-flight, and award accuracy

Payday Super - super is now due shortly after each payday. Every contribution carries its own due date, and the maximum contribution base is assessed annually ($270,830 for 2026-27)

Stapled fund lookup - request a new starter's stapled fund from the ATO; the fund it returns is recorded automatically. See the new Superannuation guide

STP Phase 2 pre-flight - the pay run is checked for anything that would be rejected on lodgement, before you submit

Tax file declarations drive withholding - Medicare exemptions select the right scale, family reductions apply, and withholding variations are honoured. Changing a declaration recalculates an open pay run

Meal-break penalties, daily overtime caps, time-of-day penalty bands and public-holiday rules now follow each award's own terms

RDOs accrue from award rules and pay the day off from banked hours; banked TOIL is paid out on termination

1 July 2026 National Minimum Wage increase to $26.44/hr ($1,004.90/wk), with award minimums rolled forward to the FWC decision

Payroll: payslips

Email payslips straight from a finalised pay run - to everyone or a selection, with recipient, subject and message overrides - download them all at once, or give an employee a secure link to view theirs without signing in. Payslips now show a daily breakdown attributing pay to the day it was earned, leave taken this period, and each super contribution's due date.

Time & Attendance: missed clock-outs and live rosters

A shift left open nudges the employee, then auto-closes - and auto-closed time is never paid as recorded, holding the employee out of the pay run until it's corrected. Leaving the geofence while clocked in is detected too. Rosters show who's on the clock now and actual against rostered times. Roster patterns can rotate per day, and auto-generated shifts can be silenced.

Time & Attendance: leave that matches reality

Leave requests take per-day times and break windows. A request longer than the balance is split rather than refused - the covered part paid, the remainder as annual leave or unpaid, with the tail editable by the approver. Projections count days off the roster pattern rather than a weekday rule, and balances carry across the year boundary.

Accounting: full BAS worksheet, year-end close, fixed assets

The G1-G20 BAS worksheet built from your own data, with a per-business GST basis you can change until the BAS is finalised, capital purchases feeding G10, and expense-claim GST included

Year-end close rolls profit or loss into retained earnings

Fixed assets run book and ATO tax depreciation side by side, with disposals calculating gain or loss

Bank reconciliation suggests a best match per transaction, reconciles atomically, de-duplicates imports, and reports both current and reconciled balances

Recurring invoices and bills support 4-weekly cadence, a draft / approve / send generation mode, and ask what to do about past periods rather than guessing

Xero data is held separately from yours and applied only when you accept the diff, and you always choose the organisation explicitly

CRM: quotes and orders

The pipeline runs through to the money: lead → quote → order. Quotes are built from your catalogue, emailed, and convert automatically on acceptance. Orders carry billing status, effective-dated variations and archiving. Lead assignees now count as co-owners for access.

Projects: folders, favourites, archiving and real templates

Projects group into folders, can be starred, and archive off the working list. Templates now carry full task detail - assignees by role, status, budget and dependencies - and can be edited inline. Task statuses belong to a project rather than the whole business, and assignees can act on their own tasks without wider permissions.

Access: roles you can actually edit

The role manager lets you edit Mployr's built-in roles - the first change takes a private copy for your business - and set each role's data scope. Where one person needs something slightly different, per-profile permission overrides avoid a role with one member. Permissions are enforced on every request, and lists return only the records you're entitled to.

July 2026

AI across the product

Jak, the AI help assistant, answers from your actual navigation and permissions rather than guessing at screens you may not have

My Day on My Profile plans your day from tasks, calendar, shifts and approvals - and tells you what it couldn't see instead of claiming a clear day

Document templates can be generated from a description, streaming in as they're drafted

Documents: file storage

A general file store with folders, direct uploads and version history. Files attach to records across Mployr without being copied, and access to a file follows access to whatever it's attached to.

Support: tickets as a conversation

Raising a ticket sends a confirmation email with a link to follow it. You can reply, mark a ticket urgent, and reopen it if it was closed too early. Screenshots can be attached to tickets and feature requests, and you're emailed when a ticket is resolved or a feature request is implemented.

Notifications you can actually tune

Individual notification types can be switched on or off, not just whole categories. The bell is scoped to the business you're in, and notifications are only sent to people who can open the record behind them.

Reports

Relative date filters ("last 30 days", "this financial year") resolve each run, table reports can sort by fields on related records, filters on fields a data source doesn't have are rejected rather than silently returning nothing, and exports generate on request.

Onboarding

Guided setup keeps its steps in order, verifies each one, connects integrations first, and imports people from CSV or straight from Xero. Start with a pilot group before going live for everyone.

June 2026

A large release across most modules. Highlights below - see the linked guides for full detail.

New: Access control and permissions

Permissions have been rebuilt from the ground up. You now control exactly what each person can see and do, down to the individual record type and action.

Roles group a set of permissions together and are assigned to people. Mployr ships with sensible default roles (Admin, Manager, Employee, Contractor, Read-only) that you can use as-is or clone and tailor.

Permission matrix - for every module and sub-resource (e.g. People → Bank Accounts, Time → Rosters), choose whether a role can View, Create, Edit, or Delete. Many areas also distinguish "own" records from "all" records.

User groups let you grant the same access to a set of people at once, instead of role-by-role.

Module access turns whole modules on or off for a role, so people only see the parts of Mployr that are relevant to them.

Manage all of this under Admin → Roles, Permissions, and User Groups. See the Administration guide.

New: Learning Library

The Learning module now includes a full course library. Build courses with lessons, attach a quiz using the quiz builder, set a certification that's awarded on completion, and track enrolments and expiry dates across your team. See the Learning & Performance guide.

New: 360-degree feedback

Performance now supports 360 feedback - gather input from a person's manager, peers, and direct reports alongside their self-assessment, then review the aggregated results. Sits alongside review cycles, goals, and reviews.

New: Products, Services & Inventory

A new catalogue lets you define the products and services your business sells, organise them into a category tree, and manage stock and locations. See the Products, Services & Inventory guide.

New: Insurance & Workers' Compensation

Track insurance policies, certificates of currency, premium payments, and lodge and manage claims (including workers' compensation) from one register. See the Insurance guide.

New: Disputes & Grievances

Log and manage workplace grievances and disputes as cases, track them through to resolution, and escalate to the Fair Work Commission (FWC) where needed. See the Disputes & Grievances guide.

Expanded: Accounting

Accounting has grown well beyond invoicing:

Credit notes and purchase orders

Improved: Documents & e-signatures

Generate documents from templates, then compare versions side by side and collect digital signatures from employees, clients, witnesses, and guarantors. See the Documents & Signatures guide.

New: Messaging

Send direct and group messages to colleagues without leaving Mployr. See the Messaging guide.

New: Mobile app Help & Support

The Mployr mobile app now has a built-in Help & Support section under Profile, with quick answers for clocking on, timesheets, payslips, leave, rosters and shift swaps - plus a one-tap way to contact support.

April 2026

New: Remember selected filters

You can now have Mployr remember the filters you set on list pages - so the next time you open the same page, your search text, status picks, date range, assignee filter, and so on are restored automatically.

How to turn it on

Click your avatar in the top right

Open Settings → System Preferences

Scroll to the Interface card

Toggle Remember selected filters on

Click Save Changes

The preference is stored per user, so enabling it on one device applies everywhere you log in.

Where it works

Every list page with a toolbar, including:

CRM - Leads, Prospects, Contacts (people), Companies
Accounting - Invoices, Bills, Expenses, Recurring invoices, Recurring bills, Assets
Support - Tickets
Recruitment - Jobs, Candidates, Applications
Projects - Projects list, Board
People directory
Admin - Users, Roles
Payroll - Pay runs
Plus: Products, Services, Add-ons, Documents, Forms, Insurance, Automations, Marketing campaigns, Email campaigns

Clearing saved filters

Using the Clear all button on a list page resets the filters for that page in the same way it always did. Turning the preference off stops new filters from being saved - your existing saved filters remain in place until you change them.

New: Dashboard cards use your theme colours

Dashboard and Accounting dashboard cards now pull their accent colours from your active theme rather than a fixed palette. If you switch themes - light, dark, or a custom theme you've saved under Settings → Theme - the dashboard re-colours to match.

No setup needed; this happens automatically.

!Screenshot: Dashboard cards matching light and dark themes

New: Free tools on the Mployr website

A suite of free calculators is now available on the public Mployr website - no login required. Share them with your team, clients, or anyone who finds them useful.

Upgrades and fixes

Expense claim categories in Accounting Settings - fixed an issue where the error message on save was swallowed and showed a generic failure. The Save / Delete / Deactivate flows now surface the actual reason when something goes wrong.
