Payoneer Workforce Management: Q2 & Q3 2026 Product Updates
Over the past two quarters, we've focused on giving you more control over how you expand globally, pay contractors, and reconcile payments, with less manual work at every step. Here's everything that shipped across Q2 and Q3 2026.
Self-serve country activation
Expanding into a new country? You can now activate hiring in a new country directly from the platform. No more waiting on internal teams to walk you through it. When you try to add a hire in a country that isn't yet active, you're guided through a structured activation flow before proceeding.
Key highlights
- Review employer obligations and employee entitlements before you commit
- Get a clear view of country activation costs upfront, no surprises later
- Preview and accept the Country Local Compliance Agreement (LCA) right in the same flow
- Country is marked as Active immediately upon completion
- Automatic Help Request generated in case of issues

What this means for you
Full visibility into compliance requirements and costs before you commit. You can start hiring in a new country the same day, without waiting for anyone.
Phase 1 is live in 10 countries: Belgium, Finland, Norway, New Zealand, Sweden, France, United Kingdom, Estonia, Czech Republic, and Romania.
Revamped Time Off module
The Time Off module has been redesigned to give you, HR teams, and workers a clearer way to manage leave. Policy creation, enrollment, balance visibility, approvals, and holiday calendars now live in one structured workspace.
Key highlights
- Centralized workspace with tabbed navigation across policies, enrollments, approvals, and holiday calendars
- Step-by-step policy creation covering leave type, allowance, accrual, proration, tenure-based entitlements, and carry-forward settings
- Flexible accrual options: annual, monthly, from employment date, or after a waiting period
- Tenure-based additional leave that increases entitlement as workers hit service milestones
- Carry-forward and expiry controls with clear visibility into when balances are credited and when they lapse
- Full policy preview before creation, with the option to modify any section before confirming
- Enrollment workspace separating enrolled and unenrolled workers, with bulk enrollment controls
- Safer policy modification with a clear choice between applying changes at the next cycle or immediately recalculating current balances

What this means for you
Country-specific leave rules can now be configured accurately in one place, with less manual effort and fewer balance errors.
