What's new

Reporting that shows the trend

HSEQ portfolio rollups, combined monthly reporting, and improved location and Business Unit views make performance easier to read and easier to act on.

What it does:

• HSEQ portfolio rollups — review portfolio performance in one place, so a trend is easier to see
• Combined monthly reporting — look at the month together, instead of reconstructing it from separate views
• Location and Business Unit views — see how performance sits by location and by Business Unit

Who benefits: Project managers, HSEQ leads, and finance teams who need to spot a trend and decide what to do next.

Pay and job costing that stay on the same page

Job costing and payroll stay closer together, with better support for worker roles, equipment, materials, dry-hire charges, and the Schedule of Rates.

What it does:

• Worker roles — the role on the job is supported more accurately in pay and costing
• Equipment and materials — those costs stay aligned with the job
• Dry-hire charges — dry-hire is supported more accurately in job costing
• Schedule of Rates — the rate document and the job cost stay aligned

Who benefits: Payroll admins and project managers who need the cost on the job to match what payroll will pay, and finance teams closing a job against the Schedule of Rates.

Scheduler totals, remembered orders, and clearer hire lines

Planning and resource review take fewer extra steps. The scheduler shows totals, remembers the order view you were using, and presents hire line items more clearly.

What it does:

• Scheduler totals — see the totals while you plan the work
• Remembered order views — return to an order and pick up the view you last used
• Clearer hire line items — read hire lines with less friction when you review resources

Who benefits: Schedulers and coordinators building the plan, and project managers reviewing plant, hire, and crew against an order.

Forms that follow the shift

Workers can see the forms required for each shift. Teams also have more flexibility around form access, submitter permissions, and requirements linked to a client.

What it does:

• Required forms on the shift — a worker can see which forms that shift needs
• Form access — more flexibility in who can open a form
• Submitter permissions — more flexibility in who can submit
• Client-linked requirements — a requirement can follow the client on the work

Who benefits: Foremen and field crews completing the forms a shift actually needs, and project administrators who set who may open or submit a form for a client.

Rate item groups that are easier to scan

Rate item groups now include visual dividers, so a long group is easier to read at a glance.

What it does:

• Visual dividers between items — groups separate on the page instead of running together
• Faster scanning — find the rate line you need with less re-reading
• Fewer mis-reads in a rate review — the break between items is visible while you check the group

Who benefits: Estimators, payroll admins, and project managers reviewing a Schedule of Rates or a pay rate group.

Competency dates you can select faster

Competency dates are quicker to select, with improved date navigation.

What it does:

• Improved date navigation — move to the date you need with fewer steps
• Quicker selection — set a competency date without hunting through the calendar
• Less time on the date field — the record is updated and you can move on

Who benefits: Administrators maintaining worker competencies, and project teams checking that a ticket or competency date is current before someone is assigned.

Unscheduled check-ins land on the right timesheet

Unscheduled check-ins are matched more reliably to the correct timesheet.

What it does:

• More reliable matching — an unscheduled check-in is attached to the timesheet it belongs to
• Fewer corrections after the shift — payroll and the foreman spend less time moving a check-in that landed on the wrong sheet
• A timesheet that matches the day on site — the record the office reviews is closer to the shift that was worked

Who benefits: Field workers checking in outside a scheduled shift, foremen reviewing the day, and payroll admins who need the hours on the right timesheet.

Discard a blank draft you abandoned

Abandoned blank drafts can be safely discarded, so a workspace stays tidy.

What it does:

• Discard a blank draft that was started and left behind
• A safer discard — the draft can be removed without putting finished work at risk
• A cleaner workspace — the list you work from shows the drafts that still matter

Who benefits: Anyone who starts a draft and leaves it blank, and administrators who review a list that had filled up with empty drafts.

Exports that keep dates, quotes, and line breaks

Report exports, invoice files, and CSV downloads now preserve important formatting, including dates, quotes, and line breaks.

What it does:

• Dates stay dates — a date in the export keeps its formatting
• Quotes stay intact — quoted text is preserved in the file
• Line breaks stay in place — a note that was written on more than one line still reads that way
• Less repair after download — the file you send or open is closer to the record on screen

Who benefits: Finance teams sending an invoice file, project managers exporting a report, and anyone opening a CSV in a spreadsheet.

Download order documents in a batch

Batch order document downloads make it faster to collect and share project records.

What it does:

• Download order documents together — collect the records for an order in one batch
• Faster sharing — send the project file without saving each document on its own
• Less time assembling a pack — the documents leave Assignar Pay as a set

Who benefits: Project administrators pulling records for a client or a claim, and project managers who need the order's documents in one pass.

QR downloads that carry your logo and title

QR downloads include the logo and title you display, so the code you hand out looks like your organisation.

What it does:

• Your displayed logo — the download includes the logo shown in Assignar Pay
• Your displayed title — the title on the download matches what you display
• A more professional handoff — the QR you print or send is ready to share

Who benefits: Project teams printing a QR for site, and anyone sharing a code with a client, a worker, or a visitor.

The right information for the right people

Role-aware access is stronger across worker information, browser features, logos, and financial exception reviews. Safeguards around customer data exports, portal visibility, and system access help teams share the right information with the right people.

Everyday workflows also stay more dependable, with fewer unnecessary reloads.

What it does:

• Worker information follows the role — people see the worker details their role allows
• Browser features and logos follow the role — what the browser offers, and which logos appear, stays aligned with access
• Financial exception reviews follow the role — exception review stays with the people who should see it
• Safer customer data exports — exports of customer data are more tightly safeguarded
• Clearer portal visibility — the customer portal shows what that audience should see
• Stronger system access controls — access to the system is more carefully limited
• Fewer unnecessary reloads — a screen you are working in stays put

Who benefits: Account owners and admins setting who can see worker, financial, and customer information, and every team that needs a workflow to stay available through the day.

Demo videos and a walkthrough of client financial controls

Customer documentation now includes demo videos and a walkthrough of client financial controls, so a team can learn a capability and start using it.

What it does:

• Demo videos — watch a capability instead of reading every step first
• Client financial controls walkthrough — follow how those controls work
• Faster onboarding for a new control — the help sits with the feature your team is turning on

Who benefits: Payroll admins, finance, and project managers learning client financial controls, and anyone who would rather see a short demo than reconstruct the steps.

Why it matters for construction teams

• A portfolio review can start from the rollup. HSEQ portfolio rollups, a combined monthly report, and clearer location and Business Unit views help a project manager or HSEQ lead see the trend and act on it.
• The job cost and the pay run tell the same story. Support for worker roles, equipment, materials, dry-hire charges, and the Schedule of Rates keeps what the job cost and what payroll calculated closer together.
• The plan is easier to finish. Scheduler totals, an order view that comes back, and hire lines you can read reduce the back-and-forth while resources are being set for the day.
• The crew sees the forms the shift needs. Required forms on the shift, plus flexibility on access, submitter permissions, and client-linked requirements, mean a foreman spends less time chasing a form that should already be on the job.
• Rate reviews go faster. Visual dividers in a rate item group make a long Schedule of Rates easier to scan in a pricing or payroll meeting.
• Competency dates take less of the morning. Quicker date navigation means a ticket or competency date is updated and the worker can be considered for the shift.
• An unscheduled check-in stays with the right timesheet. Reliable matching means payroll is less likely to move hours off the wrong sheet before the week is processed.
• Blank drafts stop crowding the list. Discarding an abandoned blank draft keeps the workspace on the work that is still open.
• An export can go out as it looks. Dates, quotes, and line breaks that survive a report, an invoice file, or a CSV mean fewer fixes before a file is sent to a client or opened in a spreadsheet.
• Project records leave in a batch. Downloading order documents together shortens the time it takes to assemble a pack for a claim, a client, or a close-out.
• A QR looks like your business. A download that includes the logo and title you display is ready to put on a site board or send to a crew.
• Access matches the role. Stronger role-aware access, and tighter safeguards on customer exports, the portal, and system access, help the office share financial exceptions and worker information with the people who should see them.

Getting started

• Reporting: Review HSEQ portfolio rollups, the combined monthly report, and your location and Business Unit views.
• Pay and costing: Open a job that includes worker roles, equipment, materials, dry-hire charges, or a Schedule of Rates, and confirm job costing and payroll still agree.
• Scheduling: Open the scheduler and check the totals. Return to an order and confirm the view you last used is remembered. Review the hire line items.
• Forms: Open a shift and confirm the required forms are visible. Review form access, who can submit, and any requirement linked to the client.
• Rate item groups: Open a rate item group and confirm visual dividers make the items easier to scan.
• Competencies: Open a competency date and use the improved date navigation.
• Check-ins: Complete an unscheduled check-in and confirm it matches the correct timesheet.
• Drafts: Discard an abandoned blank draft you no longer need.
• Exports: Export a report, an invoice file, or a CSV, and confirm dates, quotes, and line breaks are preserved.
• Order documents: Download the documents on an order in a batch, then share the set.
• QR codes: Download a QR code and confirm it includes the logo and title you display.
• Access: Confirm worker information, browser features, logos, and financial exception reviews follow the person's role. Review who can export customer data, what the customer portal shows, and who can access the system.
• Help: Open the customer documentation for the demo videos and the walkthrough of client financial controls.
