Manage Insurance Documents & Compliance Statuses for a Commitment

 General Availability in Select Markets (United States)
flag-us.png Procore Pay icon-external-link.png  is available in the United States. It is designed for General Contractors and Owner-Builders who act as their own General Contractors on a job. Procore Pay extends the Invoice Management icon-external-link.png functionality in the Procore web application to handle the payment process between general and specialty contractors.

Objective

To review and track insurance compliance for a commitment when using Procore Pay. 

Background

Procore Pay adds a 'Compliance' tab to a project's commitment contracts. The controls in this tab work with the 'Insurance Compliant' setting in the Payment Requirements tab of the Company level Payments tool. Together, they let your team review and track your downstream collaborator's insurance certificates to ensure that your payee's required insurance information is valid (i.e., not expired) before releasing invoice payments with Procore Pay.

 With Procore Pay, there are two (2) methods for managing insurance compliance for the 'Contract Company' associated with a commitment. Your team can choose to use one (1) of these methods:

  • Manage Insurance Compliance Status with the Commitments Tool. If you simply want to track whether a commitment is compliant with insurance requirements or not, users can manually update the insurance compliance status by clicking the Edit button and manually inputting an update in the Status and Description fields. With this method, the Insurance card's 'Compliance Status' options are Compliant, Not Compliant, and Not Required
    OR
  • Manage Insurance Documents and Compliance Statuses with the Directory Tool. If your company uses the Company and Project level Directory tools to add insurance information for your contractors, subcontractors, and vendors, Procore automatically manages the insurance compliance status of each document for you. With this method, users can simply click the Add Insurance button and choose the Company Insurance or Project Insurance option to add a new insurance record to the 'Contract Company' vendor record in the Company or Project level Directory tool. With this method, the Insurance card's statuses are limited to Compliant or Not Compliant.

Things to Consider

Prerequisites

Steps

The steps to follow depend on the management method your team decides to use:

Manage Insurance Compliance Status with the Commitments Tool

If your company simply wants to track whether a commitment is compliant with insurance requirements or not, users with the appropriate permissions can input the commitment's status directly in the Commitments tool. 

  1. Navigate to the Project level Commitments tool. 
  2. Under the Contracts tab, locate the commitment to work with.
  3. Click the Number link to open it. 
  4. Click the Compliance tab. 
  5. In the Insurance card, click the Edit button. 
     Note

    When managing insurance compliance status with the Commitments tool, you do not use the Add Insurance button. The add button is only used when managing insurance documents and compliance status with the Directory tool. See Manage Insurance Documents and Compliance Status with the Directory Tool.

  6. In the Compliance Status drop-down list, select one of the following statuses:
    • Compliant. If the commitment contract is in compliance with its insurance requirements, select this option. 
    • Not Compliant. If the commitment contract is NOT in compliance with its insurance requirements, select this option. 
    • Not Required. If tracking compliance status is not required for this commitment, select this option. Selecting this option has no effect on the commitment's overall insurance compliance status. 
  7. Enter any information about the insurance compliance status in the Description field.

  8. Click Save
    This saves the insurance compliance status and logs your entry in the commitment's Change History tab. You can change the status or description at any time using the Edit button. 
     Tip
    Want to switch from managing insurance compliance with the Commitments tool to managing insurance documents and compliance status with the Directory tools? If you initially manage insurance compliance status with the Commitments tool and later decide to manage insurance documents and compliance statuses with the Directory tools, any previous compliance status changes are saved in the commitment's Change History tab. See View the Change History of a Commitment. After you switch, insurance changes are logged in the Company or Project level Directory tool's Change History tab. 

Manage Insurance Documents and Compliance Statuses with the Directory Tools

If your company adds insurance documents for your contractors, subcontractors, and vendors in the Company and/or Project Directory tools, Procore automatically manages the insurance compliance status of each document for you.

  1. Navigate to the Project level Commitments tool. 
  2. Under the Contracts tab, locate the commitment to work with.
  3. Click the Number link to open it.
  4.  In the commitment, click the Compliance tab.
  5. Scroll to the Insurance card. 
  6. Choose from these options:
     Note
    When managing insurance information with the Directory tools, actions are always logged in the Change History tab of the corresponding Directory tool instead of the commitment's Change History tab. 

Add Insurance

To add new insurance information, choose the appropriate option:

 Note
The Add Insurance and Edit menu buttons are only visible and available to an invoice administrator who is also a designated Insurance Manager (see Designate an Insurance Manager for Your Procore Company) or who has 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Directory tool.

After you choose a menu option, Procore launches the Company or Project level Directory tool and opens the company profile of the 'Contract Company' to the Insurance tab. You can then follow the steps in:

View Insurance

If the 'Contract Company' on the commitment has any existing insurance information stored in the company profile of the Directory tools, that insurance information appears as rows in the table in the commitment's Insurance card.

Insurance Card

This table details the elements of the Insurance card in a commitment.

Element Type Description
Add Insurance or Edit Menu Buttons Users with the appropriate permissions can either click the Add Insurance button (if this is the first insurance entry) or the Edit button (if this is a subsequent insurance entry) and choose one (1) menu option:
 Note
The Add Insurance and Edit menu buttons are only visible and available to an invoice administrator who is also a designated Insurance Manager (see Designate an Insurance Manager for Your Procore Company) or granted 'Admin' level permissions on the Company level Directory tool. 
Compliance Status Status  Procore looks at the insurance information stored in the Directory tools to determine the commitment's status:
  • Compliant. Indicates all insurance information is in the 'Compliant' status. 
  • Not Compliant. Indicates that at least one (1) insurance entry is set to a status other than 'Compliant' in the Directory tools.
     Important
    • For this status to read 'Compliant', all listed insurance entries from the Directory tool(s) must also be in the 'Compliant' status. 
    • If the insurance information from the Directory tools is set to any other available status (including the 'Compliant - In Progress' status), the status in the Commitments tool shows 'Not Compliant' to ensure that all insurance information is fully compliant before your team releases an invoice payment. 
Name Field Shows the name from the Company or Project Directory. Typically, users enter the name of the insurance certificate, policy, or document in this field. 
Level Field Shows whether the insurance information was added to the Company or Project Directory. 
Effective Date Field Shows the effective date for the insurance information in the Company or Project Directory. 
Expiration Date Field Shows the expiration date from the Company or Project Directory. These icons also alert users when the insurance is nearing or past the expiration date:
