Assignar Pay Product Release – October 19, 2026

TL;DR

Context

This note covers October 12–19, 2026. The week brought 96 improvements across payroll, reporting, HSEQ, scheduling, and workforce management.

Themes from the week

• Find the right bid: Bids include an Orders column and filtering options, so an opportunity is easier to connect with the work it may generate.
• Worker records that stay complete: Addresses and dates of birth can be kept in sync, which supports onboarding and day-to-day administration.
• Travel you can see: Operations reports include distance measures, so managers can read travel activity and plan resources.
• Time and materials from the Site Diary: Supervisors manage time-and-materials settings on the diary. Defaults and visual markers make chargeable records easier to identify before they flow into pricing and payroll.
• Payroll reviews with less friction: Summaries are easier to expand and review. Fixes improve rate-card accuracy, higher-duty settings, and automatic updates after Operations imports.
• Orders on a calendar: A calendar view for Orders gives scheduling teams a clearer way to see upcoming work, spot availability, and coordinate bookings.
• Reports you can reuse: Rolling date ranges, future-date support, project date filters, side-by-side measures, richer worker and role insights, and improved chart controls mean faster answers without rebuilding a report each time.
• HSEQ with a clearer next step: A personal work queue, a simpler path through incidents, actions that take fewer steps, clearer terminology, and first-run guidance help teams get started.
• Workforce administration in fewer passes: Assign a role to multiple workers, view competency status, and control which worker details are visible.
• Reliability and security: Everyday reliability is stronger across forms, payroll, procurement analytics, supplier submissions, invoicing, and reporting. A security update to a key image-processing component helps protect the platform against a newly identified vulnerability.
• Release notes that are easier to find: Release cards link directly to the changelog, and teams can browse past release notes.

These weekly summaries are indexed for the Assignar Pay Support Agent, so answers about recent product changes stay current.

What's new

An Orders column on Bids

Bids now include an Orders column and filtering options, so you can connect an opportunity with the work it may generate.

What it does:

• Orders column on Bids — see related orders from the bid list
• Filtering options — narrow the list to the opportunities you need
• A shorter path from the bid to the work — the opportunity and the order sit closer together

Who benefits: Estimators and project managers matching a bid to the job it may become, and coordinators looking through a long list of opportunities.

Worker addresses and dates of birth stay in sync

Worker addresses and dates of birth can now be kept in sync, so workforce records stay accurate for onboarding and administration.

What it does:

• Addresses stay in sync — the address on the worker record can be kept current
• Dates of birth stay in sync — the date of birth can be kept with the rest of the worker record
• Smoother onboarding — administration starts from a record that already holds these details

Who benefits: Payroll admins and workforce administrators maintaining worker files, and project teams onboarding a worker who needs an address and date of birth on the record.

Distance on Operations reports

Operations reports now include distance measures, so travel activity is visible when you plan resources.

What it does:

• Distance measures on Operations reports — travel distance is part of the report
• A clearer picture of travel — see how far the work is taking crews and plant
• More informed resource decisions — plan from the travel shown on the report

Who benefits: Operations managers and project managers planning crews, plant, and travel against the work.

Time and materials from the Site Diary

Supervisors can manage time-and-materials settings directly from the Site Diary. New defaults and visual markers make chargeable records easier to identify and review before they flow into pricing and payroll.

What it does:

• Time-and-materials settings on the Site Diary — supervisors set them where the day is recorded
• New defaults — chargeable records start from a default
• Visual markers — a chargeable record is easier to spot during review
• A cleaner handoff to pricing and payroll — the diary shows what should be charged before it moves on

Who benefits: Supervisors and foremen closing the Site Diary, and payroll and project administrators who price time and materials from that record.

Payroll summaries that are easier to review

Payroll summaries are easier to expand and review. Fixes improve rate-card accuracy, higher-duty settings, and automatic updates after Operations imports.

What it does:

• Expand a summary with less friction — open the detail you need while you review the pay run
• More accurate rate cards — the rate card in the review is more reliable
• Higher-duty settings — higher-duty settings are corrected
• Updates after an Operations import — payroll picks up automatic updates after an Operations import

Who benefits: Payroll admins reviewing a pay run, and project managers checking that imported Operations time landed on the right rates, including higher duty.

A calendar view for Orders

A calendar view for Orders gives scheduling teams a clearer way to see upcoming work, spot availability, and coordinate bookings.

What it does:

• See orders on a calendar — upcoming work is laid out by day
• Spot availability — open time is easier to see
• Coordinate bookings — place work against the days that are open

Who benefits: Schedulers and project coordinators planning orders, and project managers checking what is booked for the week.

Reporting you can adjust

Reporting now includes rolling date ranges, future-date support, project date filters, side-by-side measures, richer worker and role insights, and improved chart controls. Teams can get an answer without rebuilding the report each time.

What it does:

• Rolling date ranges — a report can follow a rolling window
• Future dates — a report can include dates that are still ahead
• Project date filters — narrow a report by the project's dates
• Side-by-side measures — compare measures in one view
• Worker and role insights — see more about who did the work and in which role
• Improved chart controls — adjust the chart on the report you already have

Who benefits: Project managers, finance, and operations leads who need a current answer from a report they already run.

HSEQ: your queue, incidents, and the next action

HSEQ updates make it easier to find your personal work queue, move through incidents, complete actions in fewer steps, and see what to do next. Clearer terminology and first-run guidance help a team get started.

What it does:

• Personal work queue — find the HSEQ work that is yours
• A clearer path through incidents — move through an incident with less searching
• Actions in fewer steps — complete an action in fewer passes
• What to do next — the next step is easier to see
• Clearer terminology — the words on the screen match the work
• First-run guidance — a team starting out gets direction on the first pass

Who benefits: HSEQ leads, supervisors, and anyone working an incident or an action who needs the next step in front of them.

Roles, competencies, and which worker details people see

Teams can assign roles to multiple workers more efficiently, view competency status, and control which worker details are visible.

What it does:

• Assign a role to multiple workers — apply the role across the people who need it
• Competency status — see the status of a worker's competency
• Visible worker details — control which worker details people can see

Who benefits: Workforce administrators and project managers assigning roles before a shift, and supervisors checking competency status.

Reliability across daily work, and a security update

Everyday reliability is stronger across forms, payroll, procurement analytics, supplier submissions, invoicing, and reporting. A security update to a key image-processing component helps protect the platform against a newly identified vulnerability. Broader quality work keeps these updates dependable.

What it does:

• Forms, payroll, and invoicing — those everyday flows are more reliable
• Procurement analytics and supplier submissions — those paths are more dependable
• Reporting — report flows are more resilient
• Image processing — a security update addresses a newly identified vulnerability in a key component

Who benefits: Teams that file a form, run payroll, review procurement, take a supplier submission, send an invoice, or open a report.

Release cards that open the changelog

Release cards now link directly to the changelog, and teams can browse past release notes.

What it does:

• A release card opens the changelog — the card links straight to the notes
• Past release notes stay available — earlier releases can be browsed
• Easier to share internally — a teammate can open the same notes

Who benefits: Project managers, payroll admins, and anyone who needs to see what changed and pass that on inside the business.

Why it matters for construction teams

• A bid is easier to tie to the job. The Orders column and filters on Bids help an estimator or project manager find the opportunity that belongs with the work.
• The worker file is more complete for onboarding. Synced addresses and dates of birth mean payroll and administration spend less time chasing those details.
• Travel shows up on the operations report. Distance measures help a manager plan crews and plant around how far the work is.
• Chargeable time and materials are marked on the diary. Supervisors set time-and-materials options in the Site Diary. Defaults and visual markers make a chargeable record easier to catch before it reaches pricing and payroll.
• The pay review opens the detail you need. Summaries that expand more easily, with more accurate rate cards, higher-duty settings, and updates after an Operations import, shorten the review before the week is processed.
• The order book reads on a calendar. Scheduling can see upcoming work, availability, and bookings together when coordinating the week.
• A report can answer the next question. Rolling ranges, future dates, project date filters, side-by-side measures, and worker and role insights give a faster answer from the report you already run.
• HSEQ work has a queue and a next step. Finding your own work, moving through an incident, and completing an action in fewer steps keeps a supervisor moving through the close-out.
• A role can go to several workers in one pass. Assigning a role across workers, checking competency status, and controlling which details are visible keeps workforce administration consistent before people are put on the job.
• Daily tools stay available. Stronger reliability across forms, payroll, procurement, supplier submissions, invoicing, and reporting, plus the image-processing security update, keeps those workflows protected.

Getting started

• Orders: Open the calendar view for Orders to see upcoming work, availability, and bookings.
• Reporting: Open a report and use a rolling date range, a future date, a project date filter, side-by-side measures, worker and role insights, and the chart controls.

• Workforce: Assign a role to multiple workers, view competency status, and confirm which worker details are visible.
