We’ve recently made updates in Tanda Payroll to ensure allowances report their tax-free portions correctly to STP. In doing so, you may have noticed differences when comparing Tanda pay run data with the ATO portal.

This difference stems from the tax-free portion of allowances like Laundry Allowances, which is now reported alongside the taxed portions.

To make it easier to reconcile these amounts, we've added a new in pay runs, showing the taxable earnings plus any tax-free allowance amounts that have been reported to STP.

Additionally, we've added an to the Activity Details Report.

Expanding on the recent parental consent update in Tanda Hire, we are now introducing parental consent when new employees as well.

When inviting an employee through paperless onboarding, if they are below the configured age threshold, they will be prompted to provide a parent or guardian’s details. An email will then be sent requesting a digital signature to confirm consent for employment.

Onboarding cannot be completed until the consent form has been signed.

You can configure the minimum age threshold for parental consent in onboarding under each (Workforce > Teams > Location > Advanced Options).

Salaried employees now have their leave , without needing to export timesheets.

When you create an in-cycle pay run from the Pay Runs page, approved leave requests will now automatically be included alongside their Salary Template, streamlining the payroll process when timesheets aren't normally used.

Note that exporting timesheets with leave will still work as before and won’t result in duplicate leave entries on salaried payslips.

You can now log phone calls directly on a candidate’s application in Tanda Hire. A new tab is available on their profile.

When adding a call record, you can set:

Each call entry shows the recruiter, timestamp, status, and any notes. Calls can only be edited or deleted by the person who logged them.

You can now teams in Tanda instead of permanently deleting or renaming them.

Note that archiving a team will still unassign it from any rostered shifts.

This will make it easier to keep your team list organised without losing access to historical data.

We've just begun rolling out our improvements to pay runs and super batches to help streamline the transition to Payday Super in Tanda Payroll.

Previously, payslip lines only showed the final calculated amount. With this update, you can click the blue page icon to see an itemised view of how it was calculated, making it easier to reconcile totals, understand adjustments, and spot discrepancies.

You’ll also see warnings on shifts if they have been changed in a way that no longer matches the payslip, helping highlight potential issues earlier.
