The
Long Service Leave (calculated)
feature, previously only introduced for AU Payroll customers in QLD, WA, NSW, VIC and SA, is now also supported for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), based on the Long Service Leave Act 1976.
This automates the following:
  • Prorated balances between 5-7 years of employment
  • Available balance of 6.0667 weeks after 7 years of continuous employment
  • Additional 1/5 months of leave for every completed year thereafter
  • Handling for periods of non-continuous service
  • Automatic payment upon termination
  • Ability to track liability prior to reaching 5 years of employment
  • Support in the Long Service Leave Liability report
Note that this feature
does not
support Portable LSL. Balances will be calculated using the employment start date set in the user's profile.
You can read more about the LSL (calculated) feature here.
You can now separate your sales data from Tevalis into your Item Types (e.g., Food, Beverage). A separate Data Stream will be created for each Item Type in each Location.
Configure this in your Tevalis integration under
Settings

The number of transactions is now also brought across to Tanda.
When approving leave that overlaps part of a rostered shift, you can choose to keep, vacate, or delete the existing schedule.
image
Previously,
vacating
or
deleting
would always apply to the entire shift, even if only part of it was covered by leave.
Now,
only the leave portion of the shift is affected
. The remaining worked hours stay on the roster.
For example, if a shift runs from 07:30–19:30 and leave is taken from 13:00-19:30, the shift will now split, keeping the worked portion (7:30-13:00) intact and only deleting or vacating the 13:00-19:30 period.
This also applies to leave taken in the middle of a shift, where the schedule will split around the leave period.
You can now access the new and improved dashboard, with full feature parity with the previous version, plus a range of performance and usability enhancements.
This update is being rolled out progressively.
What’s new?
  • Resizable widgets for a more flexible layout
  • Hidden widgets now persist between sessions
  • Embedded reports load automatically on page load
  • The ability to toggle labour costs on and off in Live Insights
  • Improved overall performance
Custom reporting, built in
You can now create a custom report directly from the dashboard and add it instantly to your dashboard. Any reports you create will also appear under
Reports > Custom Reports
for easy access.

You can now request enhanced DBS checks through Trust ID for both new starters and existing employees, directly within Workforce.
What does this mean?
Once a check is requested, employees complete their details via a secure link, and admins can review and submit the application. Status updates are tracked in-product, keeping both employers and employees informed throughout the process.
This helps streamline compliance checks and reduces manual admin when onboarding or managing staff.

Rostering

Breaks

New Look: Roster Day View

We're currently rolling out a refreshed version of the
Day View
in the roster. Both
Staff
and
Stacked
views are now more consistent with each other, making it simpler to use both.
When this update reaches your account, you shouldn't notice any big changes with how you roster staff, but you may notice some slight visual and functional updates, including:
  • Breaks can now be dragged and dropped
    to different times in the shift as a whole, rather than adjusting the start/end times. Hover over the break from the top of the shift and drag and drop it to a new location:Screenshot 2026-04-14 at 2
  • Viewing the daily schedule in
    Staff View
    now shows the
    whole shift card
    that you would see in the week or stacked view, flagging validation issues straight away, and bringing parity with how it is shown in other views.

The exact same functionality has been retained, it is just now located on the main staff page.

Recent Reporting Updates

We've recently made the following improvements to reports in Tanda:
  1. Activity Details: Leave Payment Types are now listed separately.
    Previously, the different leave payment types (taken, cashed out, paid on termination) were grouped in one leave column in the Activity Details report. These different types are now listed in separate columns.
  2. Employee Report: Onboarding Completed Date.
    You can now generate the date the employee completed their onboarding in the Employee Report.
  3. Costs By Employee: Separate rows by team.
    When this report uses header grouping (Age Group, Tenure, Employment Type or Classification) and "Teams worked in" is selected as a visible column, each header group is now broken into sub-rows for each team.
You can now export and download a CSV file of all recorded
Incidents
in your account.
Click the new
Download CSV
button on the
HR
>
Incidents
page. Both 'Submitted' and 'Not Submitted' records will be included.

In the Incident Export page, choose which fields to include in the file, then click

When hiring multiple candidates for the same role in Tanda Hire, you previously had to onboard each candidate one by one, re-entering the same employment details every time.
The new
Bulk Hire
feature lets you select multiple candidates and hire them in one go.
Select the candidates you want to hire in the Applications page, then click
Bulk Actions
>
Bulk Hire
and step through:
  1. Employment details:
    set position, team, contracts, documents, training and qualifications once, applied to all selected candidates
  2. Pay conditions:
    award template, employment type, classification, pay rates and contracted hours
  3. Pay Checks:
    automatic pay checks flag any blocking errors or warnings before anyone gets hired, and allow you to deselect any profiles from the process
  4. Contract review:
    preview unsigned contracts and fill any blank dynamic fields
  5. Summary:
    final review of all candidate data before committing
  6. Onboarding invitations (and any associated forms/emails) are sent to all selected staff, and all profiles are marked as Hired.
You can also abandon and resume a bulk hire instance at anytime
