Assignar Pay Product Release – November 02, 2026

TL;DR

• Invoices and PDFs in one journey — go from preparing an invoice to a document you can share, in fewer steps.
• Paper dockets in a batch — upload several paper docket files at once, and capture images from Ops directly in Pay.
• Suppliers with less chase-up — the supplier portal and the path from purchase order to invoice make submissions easier and cut manual follow-up.
• Hours that match the day — place a hand-added break inside worked hours, and move a whole shift when the schedule changes.
• A clearer pay week and a clearer plan — multi-week payroll summaries, pay-class legends, scheduler grouping, demand and fill rates, and bulk edits for roles, equipment, and other workforce records.

Context

This note covers October 25 – November 1, 2026. The week brought 77 updates across payroll, scheduling, dockets, forms, and supplier workflows.

Themes from the week

• Invoices ready to share: The new invoice creation-to-PDF workflow takes a team from preparing an invoice to a document they can share, with fewer steps.
• Field paper into payroll and billing: Upload multiple paper docket files at once, and capture images from Ops directly in Pay, so field records are easier to bring into payroll and billing.
• Suppliers in the same flow: Supplier portal and purchase-order-to-invoice journeys continue to improve. Suppliers can submit information more easily, and office teams spend less time on manual follow-up.
• Time that stays accurate when the day changes: A hand-added break can sit directly inside worked hours. A whole shift can be moved more easily when the schedule changes. Timesheets stay cleaner, and pay calculations stay more accurate.
• Payroll with more context: Multi-week payroll summaries, clearer pay-class legends, and improved pay-rate management give payroll teams more context when they review costs and prepare pay runs.
• Scheduling you can read: Group workers and assets, see demand and fill rates, and work with shared order files.
• Less repetitive setup: Bulk create and edit resources such as roles, equipment, and other workforce records.
• Safer, more reliable Pay: Security updates, stronger access controls, and cleaner records for the information teams use every day.

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

What's new

Create invoices and PDFs in one journey

The new invoice creation-to-PDF workflow takes a team from invoice preparation to a ready-to-share document with fewer steps.

What it does:

• One path — prepare the invoice and produce the PDF without a separate handoff
• Fewer steps — less back-and-forth between the invoice and the file you send
• A document you can share — the PDF comes out of that same workflow

Where it lives: Invoices.

Who benefits: Project managers and finance teams who bill the job and need a PDF the client can receive.

Faster paper docket processing

Upload multiple paper docket files at once, and capture images from Ops directly in Pay. Field records are easier to bring into payroll and billing.

What it does:

• Several files in one upload — send a batch of paper dockets instead of one file at a time
• Images from Ops — capture a docket image in Ops and bring it into Pay
• Payroll and billing — the field record is easier to use when the week is paid and billed

Where it lives: Paper dockets, including images captured in Ops.

Who benefits: Foremen sending the day's paper in, and payroll and billing admins who turn those dockets into time and charges.

Smoother supplier collaboration

The supplier portal and purchase-order-to-invoice journeys continue to improve. Suppliers can submit information more easily. Office teams spend less time on manual follow-up.

What it does:

• Supplier portal — suppliers submit what the office needs with less back-and-forth
• Purchase order to invoice — the path from the order to the invoice is smoother
• Less manual follow-up — the office chases fewer missing submissions

Where it lives: The supplier portal, and purchase orders through to invoices.

Who benefits: Suppliers submitting against an order, and office and finance teams who used to chase the same details.

More accurate worked hours

A hand-added break can be placed directly inside worked hours. A whole shift can be moved more easily when the schedule changes. Timesheets stay cleaner, and pay calculations stay more accurate.

What it does:

• Breaks inside worked hours — a break added by hand sits in the hours that were worked
• Move a whole shift — when the plan changes, the shift moves with it
• Cleaner timesheets — the hours on the timesheet match the day
• More accurate pay — pay is calculated from those hours

Where it lives: Timesheets and the schedule.

Who benefits: Foremen adjusting a day on site, schedulers moving a shift, and payroll admins who need the timesheet to match what was worked.

Better payroll visibility

Multi-week payroll summaries, clearer pay-class legends, and improved pay-rate management give payroll teams more context when they review costs and prepare a pay run.

What it does:

• Multi-week summaries — review pay across more than one week
• Pay-class legends — the legend makes each pay class easier to read
• Pay-rate management — rates are easier to manage while the run is prepared

Where it lives: Payroll.

Who benefits: Payroll admins and finance teams reviewing labour cost before the pay run goes out.

Scheduling and utilisation

Scheduler updates make it easier to group workers and assets, understand demand and fill rates, and work with shared order files.

What it does:

• Group workers and assets — see the crew and the plant together
• Demand and fill rates — see how much of the demand is filled
• Shared order files — work from order files that are shared

Where it lives: The scheduler.

Who benefits: Schedulers and project managers planning who and what is on the job.

Easier bulk administration

Teams can bulk create and edit resources such as roles, equipment, and other workforce records, which cuts repetitive setup.

What it does:

• Bulk create — add many roles, equipment items, or other workforce records together
• Bulk edit — change those records together instead of one at a time
• Less repetitive setup — the same change does not have to be typed once per record

Where it lives: Roles, equipment, and other workforce records.

Who benefits: Office admins setting up a crew or a job, and anyone maintaining role and equipment lists.

Reliability, security, and cleaner records

Payroll preparation handles leave rules, allowances, cost codes, CSV imports, and payroll synchronisation in a way that helps reduce errors. Supporting packages were upgraded, including fixes related to system information handling, redirects, and data validation. Dockets, contacts, project codes, fatigue records, and worker credentials are easier to find and maintain. Access checks and permission handling were refined so teams see the right information, while sensitive data stays protected.

What it does:

• Leave, allowances, cost codes, CSV imports, and payroll sync — fewer errors while a pay run is prepared
• Security updates — package upgrades covering system information handling, redirects, and data validation
• Cleaner records — dockets, contacts, project codes, fatigue records, and worker credentials are easier to find and keep current
• Access — teams see the information they should, and sensitive data stays protected

Where it lives: Payroll, and the records for dockets, contacts, project codes, fatigue, and worker credentials.

Who benefits: Payroll admins closing the week, project admins keeping the job record current, and anyone who depends on the right people seeing the right information.

Why it matters for construction teams

• The invoice leaves the office faster. Preparing the invoice and producing the PDF in one workflow means fewer steps before a client document is ready to share.
• Paper from site reaches payroll and billing together. A batch of paper dockets, including images captured in Ops, is easier to turn into time and charges.
• Suppliers stop the chase. A smoother supplier portal and purchase-order-to-invoice path means less manual follow-up for the office.
• A changed day does not break the timesheet. A hand-added break sits inside worked hours, and a whole shift can move when the schedule changes, so pay is calculated from the hours that were worked.
• The pay run has more than one week of context. Multi-week summaries, pay-class legends, and pay-rate management help a payroll admin review cost before the run is prepared. Leave rules, allowances, cost codes, CSV imports, and payroll sync reduce errors in that same preparation.
• The plan shows who is filled in. Grouping workers and assets, and reading demand and fill rates, helps a scheduler see the gap before the day starts. Shared order files keep that plan on the same order.
• Setup is not one record at a time. Bulk create and edit for roles, equipment, and other workforce records cuts repetitive administration.
• The record and the access stay trustworthy. Cleaner dockets, contacts, project codes, fatigue records, and credentials, plus refined access checks, keep the right information in front of the right people.

Getting started

• Invoices: Create an invoice and produce its PDF in the same workflow.
• Paper dockets: Upload more than one paper docket file, or capture a docket image from Ops into Pay.
• Suppliers: Open the supplier portal, and follow a purchase order through to the invoice.
• Timesheets: Add a break by hand and place it inside worked hours.
• Schedule: Move a whole shift when the plan changes. Group workers and assets, review demand and fill rates, and open a shared order file.
• Payroll: Open a multi-week payroll summary, read the pay-class legend, and review pay rates before the pay run.
• Administration: Bulk create or bulk edit roles, equipment, or other workforce records.
• Records: Review dockets, contacts, project codes, fatigue records, and worker credentials.
