Block AFP Export for Outstanding Waivers

We understand how critical it can be to ensure all waivers and templates are completed before export back to your accounting package. That’s why we’ve introduced a very useful new feature to the platform: Block AFP Export for Outstanding Waivers.

As the name implies, this feature prevents integrated ERP users from exporting AFPs to their ERP system unless all associated lien waivers and templates are in an Accepted status, thus preventing premature export. It is easily activated in Project Settings.

For those of you who’ve adopted a digital signature-enabled workflow across some or all of your projects, this feature is a great failsafe to prevent overlooking lien waivers that were uploaded by a subcontractor rather than digitally signed.

How GCPay Audit Trails Help Manage Data Integrity

GCPay users may be aware of the audit trail feature which is visible on the main header for all projects, but let’s take a look at some popular use cases and deep dive into this feature to ensure everyone is getting the most of this impactful yet simple tool.

In February 2024, the following compliance-related events are now being logged on the project-level audit trail:

• File uploaded to compliance requirement
• Compliance requirement verified
• Compliance requirement rejected
• Change to compliance requirement expiration date

Additional layers of audit exist, for example:

GCPay users can track all changes made to SOV details, whether they are made from general contractor account users, subcontractor users, or GCPay support users.

In addition, AFP or pay app-specific audit trails exist for quick review of all changes, including by user with time stamp, about each pay app submission for each project.

In summary, the GCPay audit trail helps users track changes made at project, SOV, and AFP level detail and presents a time stamp, author, and from which entity (GCPay support, subcontractor, or general contractor user) the change occurred. This is an easy way to manage data and specific changes to data within the GCPay platform.

 GCPay Celebrates Women in Construction

Women in Construction Week is celebrated each year in March. GCPay supports an inclusive and diverse workforce where everyone’s contributions can make a difference. Moving forward toward a brighter future includes upholding and supporting every worker in the construction industry and their input. That’s why we’re proud to help draw attention to this important celebration in 2024.

Along those lines, here are some tips to help build a stronger, more inclusive future for the construction industry:

1. Promote Gender Diversity: Let's actively encourage women to explore careers in construction. Emphasize the richness that diverse perspectives bring to our field.

2. Highlight Female Role Models: Let's showcase the incredible women leading the charge in construction. Seeing successful female leaders can inspire the next generation.

3. Embrace Network and Mentorship Programs: Let's create spaces for women to connect, learn, and grow together. Mentorship programs offer invaluable support and guidance.

4. Address Stereotypes: It's time to challenge outdated stereotypes and make it clear that construction welcomes everyone. Let's ensure that women are valued and respected for their skills and expertise.

5. Engage in Educational Outreach: Let's work with schools and colleges to show young women the exciting opportunities available in construction. Encourage STEM education and offer support to aspiring female students.

6. Create a Supportive Work Environment: Let's foster a culture of inclusivity and support in our workplaces. Everyone should feel valued and respected for who they are and what they bring to the table.

7. Encourage Community Engagement: Let's reach out to local communities and showcase the diverse career paths in construction. Participation in events and workshops can help raise awareness and inspire interest.

8. Recommend Skill Development Initiatives: Let's provide targeted training and development opportunities tailored to women in construction. Mentorship, leadership training, and technical skills workshops can make a big difference.

9. Provide Recognition for Achievements: Let's celebrate the achievements of women in construction. Recognition not only honors their contributions but also encourages others to follow in their footsteps.

By coming together and implementing these tips, we can build a brighter and more inclusive future for the construction industry. So, let's roll up our sleeves, support one another, and unlock the doors to endless possibilities!
