Pay Checks
New: Individual Pay Check Report
You can now build custom pay check reports by selecting only the specific checks you need, rather than running a full category report. This makes it faster to generate reports when you only care about certain data points.
The report also includes quick-start templates that pre-fill pay checks for common scenarios. The available templates at the moment are:
- Time & Attendance: Checks for timesheet status, unapproved leave, and shift details.
- US Payroll Readiness(US only): Checks for I-9, SSN, federal/state withholding, ACH details, date of birth, and address

What you’ll see
- A daily breakdown of workforce costs and revenue for the selected week
- Comparison of scheduled roster costs vs actual timesheet costs
- Comparison of predicted revenue vs actual revenue
- Expected totals for the period combining past actuals with future predictions.

Payroll
Allowances
Tax-Free Allowance Amounts Automated for Managed Award Templates
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.
