Laundry and Cents/KM allowances will now automatically configure their tax-free amounts in payroll when using Managed Award Templates in Tanda.

This is live across the most commonly used templates, with the remaining templates rolling out by next week.

Some customers may notice a small change in the calculated tax for employees receiving these allowances.

If you’ve been using a workaround with separate taxed and non-taxed allowances to achieve this outcome, this new automation does not account for those setups and may require adjustment.

We've made some more recent updates to various reports in Tanda:

Questions and answers are now shown in separate columns instead of being combined.

Available Balance column added for both AU and NZ to report leave balances when they differ from the Payroll Balance.

Employee Award Template filter added.

Employee Name & Payroll ID columns added.

Expected wage % revenue columns can now exclude leave.

Award Tags filter added.

This report has been converted from the payroll reporting structure into the Workforce Management (WFM) framework.

and reports now categorise employees using employment types better. Previously, only exact tag matches were included (e.g., 'Full Time'), but can now include varied employment types (e.g., 'Full Time - Shiftworker').

This column has been added to the Employee Qualification Report, the Missing or Expired Qualifications Report, and the Location and Teams Report.

We've improved the to now show when shifts were declined or swapped with another employee, making it easier to track roster changes.

We've just updated how deleting leave balances for employees works with Tanda Payroll. Previously, you could either delete a payroll leave balance entirely, or be unable to delete it at all if the employee had already accrued leave for that type.

Now, you can a leave balance at any time, including after the employee has already accrued that leave type. This removes it from the Active balances, and is only visible when adjusting the new leave dropdown to '':

Deactivating a leave balance works the same way as deleting it, but retains the 'deleted' balance for record-keeping purposes. Deactivated balances will not accrue any leave. They can be reactivated if needed by clicking .

We've recently updated the look of the page, continuing the work done on moving the older pages in Tanda over to the new look of the system.

All existing functionality remains the same, but we've introduced new filters and a toggle on/off for each column, letting you find specific award rules more easily.

Bringing parity with NZ deductions, you can now set bank details for AU employees' deductions directly in their profile, rather than in the Deduction Type.

To do so, tick '' on the Deduction Type in Payroll Settings:

Then, when adding a deduction to staff profiles, there is now the option to enter , rather than using bank details set in the Deduction Type.
