New Zealand (NZ)

Automated IRD Filing (NZ)

The NZ IRD integration is now live for all New Zealand customers!
You’ll now see two new actions in your Pay Runs:
File Employee Details
and
File Pay Details
, allowing you to submit information directly to the IRD via the IRD Gateway.

Before submitting, you’ll need to connect to the IRD for each company under the IRD Supplier Setup page. Once connected, you can:
  • Submit employee information, including tax codes, addresses, and personal details.
  • Submit pay run information, including earnings, tax, and KiwiSaver amounts.
For more details, see the full guide here.
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.
Some organisations will now have access to these changes, with a gradual release to all remaining accounts.
These updates include:
  • Autocreating Super Batches
  • Split Batches Containing First-Time SMSF Payments
  • Better Submission Status Tracking
  • Batch Status Tracking on Payruns
  • Better Tracking Notifications
  • Reporting Improvements
You can learn more about Payday Super and the changes made within Tanda Here.

Sleepover, On-call & RDO Improvements

We've made some improvements to sleepover, On Call and RDO schedules in Tanda:
  • You can now add
    Sleepover
    and
    On Call shifts
    to
    Regular Hours of Work
    in employee Pay Conditions.
  • Additionally, the Sleepovers and On Call schedules in RHW will be built in the roster when auto-building from Regular Hours.
  • Sleepovers, On Calls and RDOs can now also be dragged, dropped, copied and pasted in rosters, bringing them in line with regular shifts in the roster.
  • Teams
    can now be added to RDOs, Sleepovers and On Call shifts in Regular Hours of Work.
  • Sleepovers and On call shifts in rosters, and RDOs, Sleepovers and On Calls in RHW are now included in our API endpoints.

Payslip Detail Breakdowns

Some accounts will now be able to see a
detailed breakdown of where each payslip value came from
, linking them back to the specific shifts or salary that generated them.
image
This feature is being rolled out gradually to all customers.
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.
image
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.
image
You can now create
custom validations for Job Ads
in your organisation using plain language, which are automatically converted into rules that the system can understand and apply.
These validations include checks against fields like the Description, Pay Rate, Additional Questions, etc.
To create these validations, navigate to your
job ad
>
Settings
>
Job Rules
and write the rule in plain English. This is converted using AI into a rule that the system can apply.
image
Once set up, a warning will appear on the job ad if violated: image
These rules can be configured org-wide or per location.
We've recently made the following two improvements to the Long Service Leave (calculated) feature in Tanda:
1.
Automated Termination Payments for New South Wales and South Australia:
When paying out an employee's LSL upon termination for NSW and SA, the available
and prorated
balances are now calculated and paid automatically.
This calculation looks at the employee's Cessation Code, as well as the employment start date and other information in the Long Service Leave tab in their profile, to determine if the prorated balance should be paid out based on state legislation.
2.
Auto-populate the Long Service Leave tab in employee profiles:
To make the process of setting up
Long Service Leave (calculated)
faster and easier, you can now automatically populate certain LSL-related fields.
If you already use
LSL (calculated)
, find this button under
Payroll
>
Payroll Settings
>
Leave Types
:
image
Otherwise, this process will be done when adding
LSL (calculated)
to your account for the first time by clicking '
New: Try out Improved Long Service Leave
' in the same spot.
Doing so will fill out two of the fields in the employee's Long Service Leave tab using information gathered from the employee profile:
  • The employee's
    state
    will be filled using the location set in their Default Team.
  • The '
    Yes - Always Full Time
    '/'
    No - part-time or casual hours varied
    ' status will be selected based on the employee's historic Pay Conditions.
This calculates and creates a
LSL (calculated)
balance for all employees.
