UZIO’s May 2026 Product Release Continues – Exciting New Features Now Live!

UZIO’s May 2026 Product Release Continues – Exciting New Features Now Live!

Great Falls, VA.

Following our May 2026 Product Release announcement, we’re pleased to share that two additional features previewed in “Coming Next” are now live on your UZIO platform — available on the Employer Portal as well as for TRC Team users who access UZIO via the Broker Portal.

Update from the last release:

New Home Page with Compliance & Risk Alerts and Action Center: As per our May 2026 Product updates announcement, this is now live for all Delivery Service Partner (DSP clients) across the program. For more details on the new home page, click here to view the help article. Please reach out to us at support@uzio.com for any feedback you may have.

Here’s a quick look at what’s new.

UZIO General Enhancements

Enhanced Sensitive Data Controls — A new role-based security enhancement giving Employer Administrators granular control over how sensitive employee information is displayed across the platform. Configure visibility per role for fields like SSN, Date of Birth, Compensation, and Banking details — with the choice to show, partially mask, or fully mask each one, independently for On-Screen views and Reports.

UZIO Reporting Enhancements

Custom Report Builder — A completely rebuilt reporting experience that combines HR, Payroll, Time Tracking, Time Off, and I-9/E-Verify data into a single template. Build a report once, schedule it to run on the cadence you need, and have notifications sent to your team’s inbox to log in to UZIO and download the results in Excel or CSV — no more manual rerun or rebuilding the same report every time.

A quick note on data availability: We’re currently migrating data to the new reporting framework. If you build a report now and find data is not available or showing up, please try again on and after May 30, 2026.

Important — Old Custom Reports retiring on July 15, 2026: After July 15, the old Custom Reports section will no longer be accessible and any templates saved there will be permanently deleted. There is no automatic migration — please rebuild any reports you rely on in the new Custom Report Builder before the deadline.

For TRC Team Users (Accessing UZIO via the Broker Portal)

Both features are now also live for TRC Team users. Sensitive fields are displayed with a default masking configuration applied consistently across the UI and Reports, and the Custom Report Builder is available with the same workflow as the employer side — plus the added ability to run a single report across multiple DSPs in one consolidated output.

A Quick Heads-Up About Sign-in

On June 10, 2026, UZIO will move to a stronger, more secure sign-in standard. Most users will not notice any change — if you and your team are using a modern, up-to-date browser and device, no action is needed. A small number of users on very old browsers, operating systems, or devices may be unable to sign in after this date and will benefit from updating their browser or switching to a newer device.

May 2026 release introduces enhancements across the Employer Portal, Payroll, Time Tracking, HRIS, Time Off, and our DSP Program — helping improve compliance visibility, streamline payroll review processes, and strengthen regulatory support.

What’s New in May

UZIO Employer Portal Enhancements

New Home Page with Compliance & Risk Alerts and Action Center — A redesigned Employer Home Dashboard featuring a live workforce banner, a prioritized action queue, and proactive compliance alerts across time tracking, HR, and employee data — giving you a single view of what needs your attention. This has been enabled for selective DSPs, with rollout to all remaining DSPs completing this week. If you’re a non-DSP partner and would like this enabled, please reach out to us at support@uzio.com.

UZIO Payroll Enhancements

Payroll Anomaly Detection —UZIO now automatically detects payroll anomalies and compliance risks, turning payroll sign-off into a proactive safeguard against costly errors and fraud.

  • Proactive detection: A scheduled background process surfaces anomalies anytime in the new Payroll Action Center on the Payroll Dashboard — grouping employee-level items (e.g., “SSN missing for 5 employees”) with inline actions and pay-group filtering.
  • Payroll-dependent detection: Before approval, the Payroll Health Check evaluates calculated payroll output and flags anomalies via a scan banner and slide-in cards on the Payroll Summary page.

UZIO Time Tracking Enhancements

Employee Time Entry Approval Workflow — Managers can now review, approve, or reject employee-submitted time entry changes before they impact payroll, with improved audit history and pending-approval visibility.

Time Entries Report — Now includes terminated employees with historical entries.

UZIO HRIS Enhancements

I-9 Section 2 Employer Job Title Capture —UZIO now captures the Employer’s Job Title in Form I-9 Section 2, supporting compliance with USCIS Form I-9 requirements.

Streamlined I-9 Reassignment with E-Verify —Reassigning Form I-9 for an employee with an existing E-Verify case is now handled through an integrated, self-serve workflow, reducing duplicate-case errors and manual support intervention.

UZIO Time Off Enhancements

New York Prenatal Leave Support — Two new Time Off policy-setup capabilities now let clients model the New York State Prenatal Leave policy.

  • “First Usage Anniversary” reset: A per-employee 52-week cycle that opens on the employee’s first approved request.
  • “Hour Increment” control: Restricts leave requests to exact multiples of a set value (e.g., whole hours only).

Delivery Service Partner (DSP) Program Updates

Automatic Time Off Policy Setup for NY DSPs For NY-based DSP employers, UZIO now auto-provisions the required New York Prenatal Leave policy at employer setup, so the configuration is applied automatically rather than set up manually and is also assigned to the Delivery Associates.

Coming Next

New Version of Custom Report Builder A redesigned report builder coming next release, letting employers design custom templates across multiple data sets, apply filters, run or schedule reports on demand, and review run history.

Sensitive Data Redaction & Role-Based Visibility We’re extending sensitive-data masking to be platform-wide — covering SSN, bank account, routing number, email, phone, and home address — so these fields display redacted across both the UI and reports by default, with full values available only to authorized roles.

This release reflects our continued focus on compliance automation, mobile accessibility, and operational flexibility — especially for growing, hourly-based workforces.

What Cannabis Rescheduling Really Means for Payroll, Taxes, and HR — and What It Doesn’t

What Cannabis Rescheduling Really Means for Payroll, Taxes, and HR — and What It Doesn’t

Recent headlines around cannabis rescheduling (often referred to in the media as ‘reclassification’) have sparked optimism across the industry. With President Donald Trump signing an executive order to fast-track cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, many business owners are asking the same question:

Does this finally make things easier for cannabis employers?

The short answer: not yet.

Here’s what actually changed—and what cannabis businesses still need to manage carefully across payroll, taxes, and HR.

Schedule III Explained

Cannabis moving to Schedule III means the federal government now recognizes potential medical value and a lower risk profile compared to Schedule I substances.

What this enables:

  • Easier federal research
  • Broader medical studies led by the Food and Drug Administration
  • A shift in tone at the federal level

What it does not do:

  • It does not legalize cannabis federally
  • It does not override state laws
  • It does not change employer obligations overnight

Think of this as a research and regulatory signal, not a business license.

What Did Change for Cannabis Businesses

There are meaningful signals worth noting:

  • Federal acknowledgment that cannabis has medical applications
  • Fewer barriers to medical research and CBD studies
  • Long-term momentum toward standardized, pharmaceutical-style regulation

For the industry, this is a legitimacy milestone—but one that unfolds gradually, not instantly.

What Didn’t Change (Where Most Confusion Comes From)

Despite optimistic headlines, the fundamentals remain the same:

  • Cannabis is still illegal at the federal level
  • State employment, wage, and tax laws still govern operations
  • IRS 280E still applies
  • Banking, payroll processing, and compliance restrictions remain in place

If you’re running payroll or managing employees today, your obligations did not suddenly change.

Payroll Reality: Why Nothing Gets Simpler (Yet)

In fact, regulatory transitions often increase risk for employers.

Why:

  • Federal signals and state enforcement don’t move at the same speed
  • Multi-state operators still face different wage, overtime, and break rules
  • Payroll accuracy becomes more critical during regulatory scrutiny

This is not the moment for shortcuts or manual workarounds.

Key takeaway: Regulatory uncertainty raises payroll risk—it doesn’t reduce it.

Tax Reality Check: When Schedule III Does — and Doesn’t — Change 280E

One of the biggest questions around cannabis rescheduling is how it affects taxes— specifically IRS Section 280E.

Here’s the precise reality.

Today:
Because cannabis is still federally classified as a Schedule I substance, IRC §280E remains in force. This means cannabis businesses are currently barred from deducting ordinary and necessary business expenses (such as rent, wages, marketing, and office costs) and are generally limited to cost of goods sold (COGS).

What Changes Once Schedule III Is Officially Effective:
Most authoritative tax analyses agree that Section 280E applies only to Schedule I and Schedule II substances. Once cannabis is formally rescheduled to Schedule III—and the DEA’s final rule is published and takes legal effect—280E would no longer apply to cannabis businesses going forward. At that point, operators would be able to deduct ordinary business expenses like other U.S. companies under IRC §162.

Why Caution Still Matters Right Now:

  • The executive order directs expedited rescheduling, but the process is not yet complete
  • The DEA must still publish the final rule in the Federal Register
  • Until that rule is effective, 280E continues to govern federally
  • Most commentary expects the change to apply prospectively, not retroactively, unless IRS guidance states otherwise

Bottom line:
Schedule III has the potential to remove the long-standing 280E tax penalty—but only once rescheduling is legally finalized. Until then, cannabis businesses should continue operating under current tax rules and plan carefully for the transition period.

HR & Employment Compliance: The Quiet Risk Area

Payroll gets attention—but HR compliance is where many cannabis businesses are exposed.

Areas to watch closely:

  • Proper worker classification (W-2 vs contractor)
  • I-9 and E-Verify documentation
  • Drug-free workplace and accommodation policies
  • PTO, leave laws, and termination compliance

These issues don’t show up immediately—but they compound over time.

Why Federal Signals Increase Employer Responsibility

As cannabis moves closer to mainstream regulation, expectations rise:

  • Cleaner records
  • More standardized audits
  • Less tolerance for informal processes

Industries like alcohol and pharmaceuticals followed this same path: legitimacy brought scrutiny, not leniency.

How Cannabis SMBs Should Prepare (Without Overreacting)

You don’t need to predict the future—but you do need to be ready for it.

Practical steps:

  • Keep payroll and HR systems audit-ready
  • Centralize employee records and time tracking
  • Document policies clearly
  • Avoid assumptions based on headlines

Preparation beats speculation.

Final Word: Stability Beats Speculation

Cannabis rescheduling is an important step—but it’s not a shortcut.

For employers, the smartest move is to:

  • Ignore political noise
  • Focus on compliance fundamentals
  • Build systems that hold up even when regulations evolve

The businesses that win long-term won’t be the ones chasing headlines—they’ll be the ones running clean, compliant, and resilient operations.

Below is a look back at the milestones that defined 2025—and how they translate into value for your business.

1. A Landmark Milestone: UZIO Signs National DSP Agreement

This September, UZIO entered a major partnership to power workforce management for thousands of Delivery Service Providers (DSPs) across the country—representing over 200,000 drivers handling last-mile logistics for one of the world’s largest networks.

This wasn’t just another deal.

It was a validation of our long-term AI-first vision and the work of every team across UZIO. Over six months, our product, engineering, and tech ops teams delivered functionality that would typically take a year—proving what UZIO can accomplish with a clear mission and relentless collaboration.

  • Unlimited PTO policies, PTO payout automation, and prevention of retro accruals
  • Enhanced year-end workflows and mobile performance

This year’s releases solidified UZIO as one of the most compliant, accurate, and operationally efficient platforms for SMBs and DSPs.

4. Customer-Driven Recognition: A Year of Awards

2025–26 brought significant recognition from the market—fueled entirely by customer reviews.

UZIO earned:

  • 2026 Buyer’s Choice Award (TrustRadius)
  • 2025 Tech Cares Award (TrustRadius)
  • G2 “Users Love Us” Badge — 4.4/5 rating from 80+ reviews

These awards reflect our commitment to capabilities, value, and exceptional customer relationships—something we’re deeply proud of.

5. CEO’s Perspective: A Year of Acceleration

Throughout 2025, CEO Sanjay Singh used the monthly CEO Corner to share insights, challenges, and direction. A few themes stood out:

1. AI as a Practical Advantage

“AI at UZIO is not hype—it’s real work being done by digital workers so your HR and payroll teams don’t have to.”

2. Helping Businesses Do More With Less

“In a shifting economic environment, our goal is to help you operate leaner while staying compliant and accurate.”

3. Supporting Hourly Workforces at Scale

“From break compliance to scheduling to geofencing, we’re building for the businesses that run America’s frontline workforce.”

4. Year-End Confidence

“Our December enhancements aim to make year-end processing smoother, faster, and stress-free for your teams.”

This leadership narrative shaped the company’s focus all year—and continues to guide our vision for 2026.

6. What This Big Year Means for You

Whether you’re an SMB, a DSP, a cannabis company, or a growing mid-market organization:

UZIO helps you:

  • Reduce manual HR & payroll work
  • Improve compliance with AI-powered oversight
  • Manage hourly, distributed workforces with ease
  • Deliver better experiences through mobile, kiosk, and geofencing tools
  • Run payroll accurately—even at scale

2025 wasn’t just a year of new features—it was a year of transformation.

7. Looking Ahead to 2026

Next year, expect:

  • New AI agents that automate full workflows
  • Even deeper investments in mobile and analytics
  • Expanded capabilities for DSPs, logistics, healthcare, and cannabis
  • Enhanced compliance engines powered by machine intelligence
  • More tools that let you run your business—not paperwork

Thank you for trusting us throughout this landmark year.

Here’s to an even more impactful 2026.
