We’ve just added a new Long Service Leave feature, available for
all employees working in Queensland.
You can view and configure this by navigating to an employee’s profile and selecting
Payroll > Long Service Leave.
For this feature to work, an employee must have an employment start date set under their Personal Details
tab. Since an employee's entire employment history isn’t necessarily recorded in Tanda, you can use this page to add additional hours worked outside Tanda or additional days of non-continuous service outside Tanda.
The first time an employee is about to be paid a payslip that is entitled to long service leave, a warning will appear, notifying you the employee is about to accrue long service leave.
This notification links to the employee’s
Long Service Leave
tab to ensure their details are accurate before posting the pay run. After 7 years of continuous service, an accrual for contingent long service leave will appear on an employee’s payslip. The contingent leave balance is unusable by default—it’s only used for a termination payment.
Then, after 10 years of continuous service, a usable long service leave balance will appear on the employee's account. From here, employees can treat this like any other leave type to request leave.
Long service leave is calculated based on the time an employee has worked over their employment. We determine this using pay conditions for full-time employees and timesheets for part-time and casual employees.
Important:
This feature is currently only available for employees working in Queensland
. We hope to roll it out for other states in the coming months, so stay tuned! new
Reports
We’ve Revamped the Shift Feedback Report
We’ve revamped the Shift Feedback Report with a fresh location and layout for a more streamlined user experience.
Previously, the Shift Feedback Report was located under
Reports > Time & Attendance > Anomaly Detection
. Now, it is located under Reports > Workforce > Employee Reports.
We’ve also updated the report with a more user-friendly layout to align with some of our other ‘Workforce’ reports. As part of this, we added a new ‘Shift Feedback Sentiment’ filter, allowing users to filter the report by positive or negative staff feedback.
Please note that to see this report, you must first enable shift feedback via
Settings > General > Shift Feedback.

Award Rules
New Award Rule Functionality: Worked While On Call
We’ve added a new award rule, 'Worked While On Call', to help accurately pay on-call shifts ☎️.
With this new functionality, you can create an
award
rule to automate hourly payments for employees who work while on call. This builds on our recent update, which added on-call allowances
. To configure this rule, navigate to
Time & Attendance > Compliance > Custom Award Rules > Manage > + New Award Rule.
From here, name your rule, select which staff it applies to, and choose whether it applies to ordinary or overtime hours. Then, under Step 3, ‘Conditions’, tick ‘After number of hours worked’ and select ‘Worked While On Call’.
Finally, select the rate at which the rule is paid, link it to your payroll system, and click ‘Create Rule’ ✅.
From here, it functions like most custom award rules. We check if an employee had an on-call schedule for the time they worked
(Rosters > + On Call Schedule)
and apply the rule if so 💰. new

Onboarding
Feature Update: Track Onboarding Progress
We’ve added a new feature to the onboarding process, making it easier to track and manage an employee’s onboarding status 🚀.
Previously, during employee onboarding, employers could only see if onboarding was ‘started’, ‘in progress’, or ‘completed’.
With this update, employers
can now see each individual step of the onboarding process, along with a status tracker showing whether that step is ‘completed’ or ‘incomplete’.
Employers can also click on each step to view more details. To view this, navigate to an employee's profile, then select
HR > Hire & Onboard.
This new view makes managing onboarding far simpler and more convenient, as you can now easily prompt employees to finish any incomplete onboarding tasks 🎉. Once an employee has completed all necessary onboarding steps, this view will revert to a one-line table showing the onboarding status as ‘completed’ and the date it was completed 🗓.
This feature update was prompted by valuable customer feedback on Canny. You can have your say and submit your feedback here.
HR subscribers can now add forms to the onboarding process to collect additional information from new hires 📋.
To make a form available during onboarding, navigate to
HR > Forms > Form Templates.
Click edit on the template you wish to add and navigate to the Settings tab. Then, tick ‘Available to be assigned when onboarding a new Employee.’
The selected form will now be available to send during onboarding. To send it, navigate to the Employee Onboarding tab and commence a new onboarding request. Next, during Step 1, under the ‘Employment Information’ section, select the forms you want to attach 📋.
The employee will then be prompted to fill out these forms during onboarding ✅.
