Hire
Automatic Job Ad Expiry
Job ads in Tanda Hire can now
automatically expire
after a set number of days. This helps keep your job board up to date and prevents candidates from applying to roles that are no longer active.Organisations can set a default expiry period in ATS settings, and each job can also have its own customised expiry date. Once a job expires, it automatically stops accepting applications.
How to Configure
1. Go to ATS Settings and set your organisation's default job expiry period

2. When creating new jobs, the expiry date will be auto-populated. You can adjust individual job expiry dates as needed in the job ad editor

Payroll
Create Out-of-Cycle Pay Runs for Automatic Back Pays
Tanda Payroll now lets you create out-of-cycle pay runs when automatically back paying timesheets. Previously, this was always added to the next in-cycle pay run. With this update, selecting
Backpay Timesheet
now gives you two options:- Add to next pay run: Follows the normal pay group schedule, using or creating a draft pay run for the next pay period.
- Create out-of-cycle pay run: Creates a standalone pay run using the dates in the payrun, with the payment date set to today. If an out-of-cycle draft already exists for that payroll file, Tanda will enter the backpay into that pay run.

This provides greater flexibility for when a payment needs to be processed immediately, instead of waiting for the next scheduled pay run.

HR
Forms
Multi-Stage Approval for Forms
Tanda HR now supports
multi-stage approval workflows
for forms! Previously, forms were limited to a single approval stage, requiring only one round of approval. Now you can create multi-stage workflows where approval progresses through sequential stages.
Key Features
- Stage-by-stage progression: Approvals move through stages in sequence. For example, Stage 1 might require team manager approval, then Stage 2 requires department manager approval.
- Prevent duplicate approvals: Users can only approve once per stage.
- Declining: If any approver declines at any stage, the form is immediately marked as declined without progressing further.
- Mobile app: All approval and decline functionality works in the mobile app.
- Audit trail: View a complete history of all approvals and declines, showing who approved at each stage, when they approved, and any comments they provided.
You can learn more about setting this up in This Article.

NZ Payroll Deductions: Individual Bank Accounts & IRD Codes
NZ Tanda Payroll deductions now support bank details at both the deduction type level
and the individual employee level
, giving you more flexibility when managing payments such as IRD deductions or union fees.How it works:
1. Setting up the deduction type
- Navigate to Payroll → Settings → Deduction Types
- Create or edit a deduction type
- Enable "Use Individual Bank Details"
- Add IRD code if applicable
2. Adding to the employee profile
- Go to the employee's payroll tab in their profile
- Add the deduction template
- For IRD deductions:Details auto-populate based on the employee's IRD number
- For non-IRD deductions:Manually enter bank details per employee

This update also adds support for
IRD Payment Codes on deduction types
, which flow through to each employee's deduction template and are included in bank files. This removes the need to create separate deduction types for individual employees to handle IRD-specific data.new

Employee Summary Report Conversion
We’ve just moved the Employee Summary Report from the payroll reporting structure into the
Workforce Management (WFM) framework
. The information this report pulls remains the same, however, you may notice some changes such as the addition of the 'Generate' button and a few additional filters.
This is part of our ongoing work to transition payroll reports to the WFM structure for improved performance and reliability, particularly for larger cohorts. You can see the other reports that have already been converted Here.

Leave
Leave Request Editing
We’ve improved how leave is edited in Tanda. The old single-page form has been replaced with the same multi-step modal used for creating leave, giving you one consistent UI for both creating and editing leave on desktop and mobile.
An Edit button now appears in the top right of the leave request, next to Approve and Decline, which will open the familiar leave modal in Edit mode.

Hire: New Job Ads Report
Following the recent release of the New Hires report, we’ve added a new
Job Ads report
to help you track your job postings in Tanda Hire.The report brings all your job ads into a single view, showing where each job is posted, how many applications it has received, and how many candidates have been hired or rejected.

You can filter by job status, employment type, position, location, or date range to narrow down the listings.
This report also highlights how long each job has been open and when it was last updated, helping you identify which ads may need attention.

Categorisation of User Files

Notes & Files
on an employee profile. This includes categories such as Warnings, Contracts, Documents, Performance Reviews, Training, Forms, and File Notes.

+ New
under the Notes & Files tab on a user profile and select the Document Type
before uploading a fileCategorised files will appear in the relevant sections of an employee profile, as well as in department-wide indexes. Uploaded files also show an

Time Clock
Time Clock and Shift Question Interface Updates
We’re refreshing the
Timeclocks
and Shift Questions
pages with a new look and small functional improvements.What’s new
- UI improvements:The layout has been redesigned with our new interface to match newer pages and other recently revamped pages. The ‘New Time Clock’ button is also now the ‘Activate New Time Clock’ button, which makes setup clearer.

- Filtering time clocks:Quickly identify devices that are offline using the Time clock status filter.
- Shift Questions and Clock In restrictions:Shift questions that block clock-ins are now managed separately under a new section calledClock In Restrictions.
Clock In Restrictions
Previously, blocking clock-ins required configuring a Shift Question. These have now been split into two tabs:
- Shift Questions:For creating optional or informational questions at clock-in/out.
- Clock In Restrictions:For setting up conditions that prevent clock-ins or clock-outs when requirements aren’t met.

This is currently live for a few organisations, and will be rolled out to all users soon.
