Assign Contractors or Employees to Jobs

Learn how SimplySub helps subcontractors assign jobs to internal employees, contractor users, or entire contractor companies.

SimplySub makes it easy to assign the right people or subcontractors to each job. From any job record, you can create an assignment for an internal employee, an individual user at a contractor, or the contractor company itself.

What this Feature Spotlight covers

The video walks through the different ways job assignments can be created and managed in SimplySub.

  • Assign a job to an internal employee, team member, or crew member
  • Assign a job to an individual user who works for a contractor
  • Assign a job directly to a contractor company without selecting an individual
  • Choose whether assigned users receive text, email, and in-app notifications
  • Add optional trade or contractor scopes such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC
  • Customize available contractor scopes from the admin area

Why it matters

Clear job assignments help subcontractors keep field teams and outside contractors aligned on who is responsible for each job. When an individual is assigned, SimplySub can notify them by text message, email, and in-app notification so they have visibility into the work assigned to them.

Contractor access also stays focused. Contractors only see jobs that have been explicitly assigned to them rather than your entire company schedule.

Built to stay simple

Assignments are created directly from the job record, so there is no separate scheduling workflow to manage. You can use as much or as little detail as your team needs, including optional trade scopes and configurable notifications.
