Assignar Pay Product Release – June 28, 2026

TL;DR

• Color-code your tags: A custom colour picker lets you match your tag colours in seconds — consistent branding from the office to the site trailer.
• Cash flow at a glance: Reports now include an Invoice Status column and multi-select filters so finance teams spot stuck invoices and chase payment faster.
• Richer site capture: Forms get Draw on Image (full-screen mark-ups) and multiple responses on fields — better QA photos and more complete field data without extra apps.
• Payroll you can trust: Overtime split, night-shift premiums, RDO weekday rules, allowance logic, and shift-rule overlap fixes reduce pay-run exceptions before export.
• SoR V2 Beta moves faster: Fuzzy ranked search, charge-rules parity, day-context on rate rows, and HTML rate-sheet previews cut quoting and billing rework.

Context

What's new

Custom colour picker for Tags — match your company colours.

Make your tags feel like your business branding from the first login.

What it does:

• Pick your tag colours — pick any colour from the Colour Swatch component.

Invoice Status in reports — spot stuck invoices faster

See which invoices are holding up cash flow without exporting to a spreadsheet.

What it does:

• Invoice Status column — status visible directly in report output
• Multi-select filters — narrow to draft, sent, overdue, or paid in one view
• Faster AR follow-up — finance teams target the right invoices in minutes, not hours

Where you'll find it: Reporting for invoice and financial reports that include invoice data.

Who benefits: AR clerks chasing payment, project admins reconciling billed work, and finance leads closing month-end with fewer surprises.

Forms upgrade — Draw on Image and multiple responses

Capture what happened on site with mark-ups and richer field data — no third-party markup tools required.

What it does:

• Draw on Image (full-screen) — annotate photos for QA, defects, and as-built records directly in the form
• Multiple responses on fields — collect more than one answer where the job requires it (e.g. multiple readings or observations)
• Better site QA — foremen and HSE teams document issues with context crews and clients understand

Where you'll find it: Forms builder and field types when configuring or submitting site forms.

Who benefits: Foremen running tailgate inspections, HSE teams documenting hazards, and project managers reviewing photo evidence without email attachments.

Payroll accuracy and safeguards

Pay rules that match how crews actually work — with guards that stop costly mistakes before export.

What it does:

• Correct overtime split and rounding — OT hours divide and round the way your agreement expects
• Night-shift premiums stay in the right window — premiums no longer bleed past midnight into the wrong day
• RDO accrual supports weekday rules — accrual logic aligns with weekday-based EBA requirements
• Reliable pay-rate role selection — the role you pick is the role that applies
• Allowances respect leave types and normal-time rules on OT — loadings and allowances calculate consistently on leave and overtime
• Shift rule overlap detection fixed — conflicting rules surface instead of silently double-counting
• Unsaved-changes guard on pay-rate screens — navigate away without losing work mid-setup
• Streamlined Custom Activity Rule modal — faster configuration for activity-specific pay logic

Where you'll find it: Pay rates, Shift rules, Allowances, RDO settings, and Timesheet Summary before your next pay export.

Who benefits: Payroll admins closing weekly runs, union stewards validating EBA compliance, and finance teams reducing adjustment journals.

Schedule of Rates (V2 Beta) and quotes

Find rates faster, price splits fairly, and show clients transparent rate sheets.

What it does:

• Fuzzy, ranked search in the SoR editor — locate line items even when naming varies between jobs
• Charge-rules editor parity with auto-compile on the fly — fewer manual errors when building charge logic
• Day-context on rate rows — see which day a rate applies to when shifts span calendars
• Minimum charge applied once across splits — clearer, fairer pricing when work is divided across periods
• Rate-sheet preview as HTML — share readable previews with clients; notes marked as source-proofed for audit confidence
• Public holiday context icons — spot cost impacts from public holidays at a glance

Where you'll find it: Schedule of Rates (V2 Beta), charge-rules editor, and quote/rate-sheet preview flows.

Who benefits: SOR administrators maintaining rate schedules, estimators building quotes, and commercial managers defending pricing to clients.

Operations, orders, and workpacks

Plan ahead, standardise packs, and fix timesheet data without waiting on support.

What it does:

• Groundwork for resource demand planning in Orders — foundation for forecasting crews and gear against upcoming work
• Workpacks uplift for shared reuse — standardise packs across jobs and subcontractors
• Override timesheet roles — correct role assignments quickly when site data does not match the roster
• More reliable imports — regular polling and preserved bid-stage order, with manual start control when you need it

Where you'll find it: Orders, Workpacks, Timesheets, and Integrations import flows.

Who benefits: Operations leads planning crew and plant, project admins standardising job packages, and data admins running Assignar imports during busy bid periods.

UI/UX polish and reliability

Smoother day-to-day use on phones, in dark mode, and across languages.

What it does:

• Dialogs behave on small screens — modals usable on phones and tablets at the tailgate
• Calendar picker no longer jumps on month change — pick dates without losing your place
• Better dark-mode contrast on quotes — easier reading during late-night commercial reviews
• Navigation respects language/locale — translations cleaned up so you never see raw keys
• Supplier invoice comments render correctly — AP notes display as intended in review flows
• Faster transaction views — timeout issues resolved for snappier financial screens
• Fewer bulk import conflicts — heavy import weeks run more smoothly

Where you'll find it: Across Quotes, Supplier invoices, Transactions, and global navigation.

Who benefits: Site staff on mobile, bilingual teams working in English (US), English (AU), or Spanish, and AP clerks reviewing supplier notes.

Why it matters for construction teams

• Branded, professional client touchpoints: Custom colours and HTML rate-sheet previews mean quotes and portals look like your company — not a generic tool — when you present to clients and subs.
• Cash flow without the spreadsheet detour: Invoice Status filters let finance chase the right receivables before month-end, instead of exporting and pivoting in Excel.
• Site evidence that holds up: Full-screen image mark-ups and multiple field responses give PMs and HSE teams documentation that survives disputes and handover.
• Pay runs you can sign off on: OT split, night-shift windows, RDO weekday rules, and allowance fixes align calculations with EBA reality — and the unsaved-changes guard stops losing half-built pay-rate setups mid-week.
• Quoting and SoR billing with less rework: Fuzzy search, charge-rules parity, and minimum-charge-once logic reduce the back-and-forth between estimators and payroll when rates span days and splits.
• Ops ready for what's next: Resource demand planning groundwork and reusable workpacks set up teams to forecast crews and gear as job volume picks up.

Getting started

• Tag colours: Open Tags Menu and use the colour picker to set your tags palette.
• Invoice reports: Run an invoice report, enable the Invoice Status column, and apply multi-select filters to isolate overdue or draft invoices. Share the filtered view with your AR team.
• Forms mark-ups: In the Forms builder, add or edit an Image field and enable Draw on Image for full-screen mark-ups. Test a submission from a phone on site.
• Payroll rules: Review Pay rates, Shift rules, and Allowances before your next pay run — confirm night-shift windows, RDO weekday settings, and OT allowance behaviour. Use the unsaved-changes prompt when editing long pay-rate configurations.
• SoR V2 Beta: Open the Schedule of Rates editor and try fuzzy search on a long rate list. Preview a rate sheet as HTML before sending to a client. Check public holiday icons on rate rows that span holidays.
• Workpacks and timesheets: Browse Workpacks for packs you can reuse across jobs. Use Override timesheet roles when correcting a mis-assigned role before approval.
• Language and locale: Confirm your preferred locale under Settings — English (US), English (AU), and Spanish are supported with aligned translations.
