Read on for more details on our second major release for 2026, including the scheduled maintenance window and links to Release Notes and Release Video.

Welcome to our second major release of the year! As we move rapidly towards the second half of 2026, we are prioritising your compliance and operational efficiency in this update. From meeting the latest ATO mandates to refining your daily accounts payable workflows, Version 2026.2.0 is designed to keep your business running smoothly and securely.

What’s New in This Release

  • Payday Super ATO STP Qualifying Earnings: We’ve implemented essential legislative updates to meet the Payday Super STP Qualifying Earnings requirements. These changes are live ahead of the July 1, 2026 deadline to ensure your payroll remains fully compliant.
  • AP & Workflow Enhancements: Enjoy a more streamlined experience in Payment Selections and Invoice Approvals, designed to reduce manual overhead and speed up your payment cycles.
  • Customer-Driven Innovation: Your voice matters. We are proud to share that one-third of the enhancements in this release come directly from your submissions to our Suggestion Box.
  • Subcontract Retention: We have introduced a new Retention Comments feature that provides greater clarity in your subcontract management.

Important Notices & Project Updates

Looking ahead, please note the following important notices and updates regarding ongoing projects.

  • Action Required: SSID Registration: To ensure a seamless transition for FY27, all customers must register their SSID with the ATO before their first STP submission in the new financial year. We recently sent an EDM with instructions to all customers regarding this ATO requirement for Employers, and we will update our in-product message with more information shortly.
  • PTRS & PTA Progress: We are currently in the QA phase for PTRS enhancements regarding consolidation & RCTI dates, as well as our final PTA enhancements required for QBCC certification.
  • Phased Release Technology: We have commenced testing for a new deployment model. This will soon allow you to choose between Phase 1 or Phase 2 of a release rollout—or utilise both if you maintain a dedicated testing environment.
  • TID Rollout reaches 90% complete: 90% of our customers have now successfully transitioned to Trimble ID, the next-generation authentication for all Trimble software solutions. One identity for all Trimble products.

The preliminary 2026.2.0 Release Notes are available at this link. We advise you to download a new copy of the notes immediately after the Release deployment in case there have been any changes. Additionally, a Release video is available at this link, where I walk through the Release notes in detail.

Deployment of Jobpac Connect 2026.2.0 will take place on Saturday, May 16th, between 6pm and 12am (AEST), during which time the system will be unavailable.

kind regards
