Faster time logs, Smarter contractor management & more

#1 Faster time logs. Smarter submissions

Time is critical when managing distributed teams and tracking hours across projects. So, we’ve enhanced the Time Logs section in the Payoneer Workforce Management dashboard to reduce friction and give you better visibility and control over time submissions.

These updates improve speed, clarity, and accuracy for both managers and contractors.

What’s new:

• New Pending Submissions Tab
  All saved but not-submitted time logs now sit in a clearly labeled tab. Contractors can quickly review and submit in bulk, reducing missed entries and admin delays.
  
• New Dashboard Card for Time Logs
  A newly added card on the dashboard displays all pending submissions and unapproved entries at a glance, making it easier for managers to stay on top of time approvals.
  
• Auto-Submission for Timer Sessions
  Contractors who use the in-platform timer can now benefit from auto-submission, configured via the Settings tab. So, timed sessions will not be missed during submissions.
  

Why it matters:

• Reduces human error in time-logging
  
• Helps managers identify and resolve pending logs faster
• Minimizes payroll delays with better submission hygiene

#2 Client-initiated document signing for contractors

Contractor onboarding shouldn’t require juggling third-party tools and manual document tracking. That’s why we’re introducing a new Client-Initiated Document Signing Workflow, now available in beta on the Payoneer Workforce Management platform.

This feature streamlines agreement signing and accelerates onboarding, all within a single interface.

What’s new:

• Initiate signing from the contractor’s profile
  Navigate to a contractor’s record and start the signing flow.
  
• Platform-native experience
  No more DocuSign, PandaDoc, or other tools. You can simply get the documents signed, tracked, and stored centrally within the Payoneer Workforce Management platform.
  

 Why it matters:

• Reduces dependency on external tools
• Keeps all documentation secure and centralized
• Empowers HR teams to move faster during peak hiring seasons
  

We’re gathering feedback as part of this beta rollout. Try it today and help us make it even better.

#3 Leave policy experience, reimagined

Managing leave across global teams is often a messy mix of spreadsheets, miscommunication, and compliance headaches. We’ll help you streamline that. 

The new Leave Policy updates in the Payoneer Workforce Management offer a cleaner interface, smarter filters, and country-specific transparency so that every team member is covered correctly.

Whether you’re operating in one country or ten, this helps make your life easier.

What’s improved:

• Country-wise Policy Listing
  See policies at a glance, sorted by region.
  
• Clear Leave Categories
  Differentiate mandatory vs. custom leaves.
  
• Actionable Buttons
  View, edit, or add leave policies per country.
  
• Leave-Related Terms Card
  Understand concepts like accruals, proration, and carry-forward, right where you need them.
  
• “Learn More” on Each Policy
  Get detailed insights on accrual frequency, usage caps, and more.
  
• Manage Enrollment
  Self-serve enrollment management is now live.
  

Why it matters:

• Helps stay compliant with local leave laws
  
• Helps managers avoid human errors in leave planning and payouts
  
• Reduces dependency on HR support for basic queries
  
• Creates a transparent experience for employees

#4 Contractor management just got a power upgrade

Managing contractor payments isn’t just about hitting the “Pay” button. You need control over invoice cycles, payout timing, and FX responsibilities, especially when operating across currencies and countries.

We’ve introduced three powerful enhancements to help you streamline payments and align them with your internal finance operations.

Here’s what’s new:

1. Custom Invoice Cycles
   Define when the first invoice period ends. Supports monthly, weekly, and bi-weekly cycles.
   
2. Schedule Contractor Payouts
   Choose payout dates up to 60 days in advance. Contractors are notified of the exact payment date.
   
3. Decide FX Cost Bearer
   You can now decide who pays the foreign exchange cost, you or the contractor. This is configurable per contractor or by default rule.
   

Why it matters:

• Align payouts with your finance team’s budget flows
  
• Offer predictability to contractors
  
• Take better control over operational costs in cross-border payments
