In the coming months, we will be removing several old reports from Tanda, with the aim of reducing reporting redundancies and providing an intuitive, user-friendly reporting suite.
We are removing these older reports as they have been made redundant by many of our newly released reports, which replicate and improve upon their functionality.
Removing these older reports will also pave the way for future upgrades and improvements.
For a full list of the reports we're planning to remove and details on how to configure replacement reports, please see our Managing Deprecated Reports help guide.
We’ve just released another new bulk payroll action: ‘Submit All Pay Runs to STP.’ This follows on from our recent update, which introduced bulk actions for pay runs.
Tanda Payroll customers can view these changes by navigating to
Payroll > Pay Runs.
Then, tick multiple pay runs to make the bulk actions menu
appear and select ‘Submit all Pay Runs to STP.’You will be prompted to confirm your selection. Note that this functionality will not work for draft pay runs. You can learn more in our Run Payroll help guide.

Training
Update: Assign Training In More Places
We have added the ability to assign training both during onboarding and directly to a position template.
To assign training during onboarding, navigate to
Workforce > Employee Onboarding.
Once you reach the ‘training’ step, select the training you want to assign from the dropdown menu. Once assigned, this training will appear as a mandatory step in the employee’s onboarding. Tanda HR customers can manage their active training modules via
HR > Training.
We have also added the ability to assign training and HR forms directly to a position template. That way, they will be applied to anyone working in that position during onboarding.
To do so, navigate to
Workforce > Positions > Position Templates
and either edit an existing template or create a new one. During step 4, tick either ‘Training’ or ‘HR Forms.’ Then, during step 6, select the training/forms you want to assign to that position template. Learn more in our Training Explained help guide.

Reports
New: Cost Reports Comparison Filter
We have added a new filter to many of our cost reports,
allowing you to generate a report for two date ranges and compare the results side-by-side.
When enabled, the new ‘Compare to previous’ filter lets you compare your selected date range with the previous one.
For example, if you set your date range to ‘This Week’ and enable this filter, it would compare with last week. Or, if set to ‘This Pay Period’, it would compare with the last pay period, and so on.
This change applies to the following reports:
- Costs by Location and Team
- Costs by Date
- Costs by Employee
- Costs by Location Team
- Costs by Partnered Organisation
See our Managing Reports help guide to learn more about reports.

Further Reporting Updates
We have just released several small reporting upgrades, including new columns and filters and general functionality improvements.
Specifically, changes include:
- We’ve added a ‘Missing Data’ filter to the Shift Report, allowing you to filter the report by missing start and finish times, missing clocked breaks, and more.
- We’ve also added a ‘Missing Data’ filter to the Employee Report, allowing you to filter the report by a missing contract, missing classification, and more. Additionally, we added four new columns: ‘Onboarding Status,’ ‘Latest employment contract,’ ‘Employment contract for current pay conditions,’ and ‘Has current regular hours?’
- We’ve added a new ‘Shift Tags’ filter to the Timesheet Report, along with a new ‘Worked Shifts’ column.
- We’ve added two new columns to the Shift Acceptance Audit Report: ‘Shift Clocked Start’ and ‘Shift Clocked Finish.’
Learn more about reports in our Managing Reports help guide.
We have introduced the ability for Tanda Payroll users to download all of an employee’s payslips in bulk.
To do so, navigate to an employee’s profile, then select
Payroll > Payslips.
Click ‘Download All’ to download all available payslips for that employee. We will continue to refine and improve this feature in future updates, including adding the ability to select specific payslips to download and adding a pagination filter.
We have
added the ability to schedule reports to be sent to others
. Previously, you could only schedule a report to be sent to yourself. This applies to any of our customisable reports. To determine whether a report is customisable, look for the Actions Menu.
To schedule a report to be sent to others, navigate to your desired report, then select
Actions > Save as custom report.
Then, name your custom report, provide an optional description, and select your desired email time and frequency.
Next, tick ‘Send this report to other employees’ and select which position titles and/or teams should receive it.
Once you are happy with these details, click Create Custom Report. It will be sent to your nominated recipients at the scheduled time. Learn more about saved reports in our help guide.
We have introduced the ability to save our Payroll Reports. This builds on our recent Saved Reports feature, which previously applied primarily to our Workforce Reports.
To access Payroll Reports, navigate to
Reports > Payroll.
Please note that this only applies to Tanda Payroll customers.Click on your desired report, then select
Actions > Save as custom report
. You will be prompted to name your custom report and provide an optional description. Your custom reports will appear at the top of the reports page for convenient access. The next time you navigate to it, your filters will automatically apply.
To learn more, see our Save Custom Reports help guide.

Award Rules
Further Sleepover Functionality Improvements
We have made two further improvements to our sleepover shift functionality, building on these recent updates:
- New Award Rule Functionality: Worked While On Sleepover
- New Allowance Types for On-Call and Sleepover Shifts
Specifically, we have added an
After hours worked during sleepover
field to the Worked While On Sleepover
award rule. This field stipulates that your award rule will only apply after X hours worked. For instance, if an employee works a sleepover shift from 12-4am and you enter 1 in this field, they will be paid at the stipulated rate from 1am onwards.
You can configure this by navigating to
Time & Attendance > Compliance
and either editing your current rule or creating a new one. Similarly, we have cleaned up how certain
minimum length
award rules interact with the Worked While On Sleepover rule
, leading to a clearer hierarchy of which rules should apply when and reducing contradictory rule clashes. The outcome is that to ensure all appropriate rules and automations apply,
we strongly advise you to roster separate shifts before, during, and after a sleepover shift.
You can learn more about creating and applying custom award rules here.

Reports
New: Location and Teams Report
We’ve just released another new report:
the Location and Teams report.
As the name indicates, this report will surface information about your locations and teams, such as the team managers, employees in that team, public holiday region, timezone, and more.
The most notable function of this report is the ‘Missing data’ filter. Use this to easily identify and correct any configuration issues with your teams and locations, like a missing address or missing managers.
For instance, in the example below, the filter is set to display teams with a missing timezone:
