From 1pm today, we will be releasing an update making it so that
on-cost configurations that include the explicit wording of either 'Super' or 'Superannuation' with rates that were previously less than 12% will be automatically increased to 12%
, aligning with the recent Super Guarantee Rate Increase.Should you meet the criteria outlined above, these changes will automatically apply and will be accurate as of 01 July 2025.
We have recently facilitated managed templates containing minimum paid hours rules. Put simply, this feature allows us to ensure users are paid the difference between their contracted weekly hours and their total ordinary hours worked for the period.
These rules will be ignored and turned off by default, so, if you would like to enable this feature, you will need to navigate to:
Time and Attendance -> Compliance -> Award Template -> Manage -> Manage Award Conditions -> Edit.
You will then see the following:

If this template supports minimum paid hours (not every template does), you will see the option here. To enable this feature, ensure the toggle
is set to the off/disabled position and click save to update your changes.
You may also want to enable the setting 'Use Overtime Averaging Period for Minimum Paid Hours calculations', accessible by navigating to
Settings > Timesheet Settings > Show Advanced Settings.

NOTE:
Some users may be used to turning on the 'enable exporting timesheet alterations' setting to get this feature working for custom award rules.
Please be aware that this setting has no bearing
on the managed template version of this feature.
For example, Bob has 40 contracted weekly hours and is on an award with this feature turned on. He works 37 ordinary hours that week. His timesheet will now contain a timesheet alteration, being paid at the regular hourly rate times two. You can see how this would be displayed on a timesheet view under the Alterations section in this example:

Multiple Reporting Updates
We have released several recent reporting updates, including:
- A new Real Wage Cost report is now live, accessible via Reports > Costs > Real Wage Cost Report.

- We have released a new 'Overtime Report', accessible via Reports > Costs > Overtime Report.

- In addition to our recently released Stats Report, we have also just added a new 'Single Stat by Time' report, accessible via Reports > Costs > Single Stat by Time.

- We have added two new filters to the Shift Acceptance Audit Report: 'Teams actually worked in' and 'Award tags'.

We have recently released several improvements and updates to our Tanda Hire feature, as we continue to strive to make the feature as user-friendly as possible.
For instance, you can now email multiple applicants in bulk. To do so, simply tick multiple applicants and use the 'Email applicants' button on the Bulk Actions menu.

We have also renamed the 'Candidates' page to 'Talent Pool' and added the ability to configure/disable the notification email that is sent when a new candidate applies for a job. On this page, we have also made the columns sortable and added archive/unarchive buttons for candidates.

Finally, we have added two new reports, the Job Analytics Report and the Job View Details Report, allowing users to track which page views lead to an application, so you can connect a job applicant (or even a hired employee) back to how they found the job ad. These reports are accessible by navigating to
Reports > HR > Hiring & Recruitment.
Many of these improvements were made as a direct response to feedback we received via Canny. You can submit your own feedback here.

New 'Stats Report'
We have just released a new 'multidimensional' Stats Report, accessible by navigating to
Reports > Costs > Stats Report.

This is a workforce management report that contains stats regarding rosters and costs, with flexible options around time and secondary grouping. By calling it a 'multidimensional' report, we mean that you can create 25 different combinations of the grouping parameters below to customise the data in your report to a more granular level.
Essentially, this means you can configure the report to return data for any of the following permutations, giving users more flexibility and control over their data:

To learn more, see our Managing Reports help guide.
Tanda HR users now have the ability to bulk upload HR notes & files to a Staff Profile.
To do so, navigate to a user's Staff Profile, then select
HR > Notes & Files > + BULK UPLOAD.

You will see the following screen, where you can select whether the employee, manager, both, or neither can view the files once they have been uploaded using the check boxes and then upload the necessary files in bulk.

Previously, this was a manual, individual process, so this update should prove to be a significant time-saver for HR Teams.
Our Communications feature now supports the ability to schedule posts.
To do so, navigate to
Communications > Groups > New Post
and expand the advanced settings. Under the 'schedule post' setting, input the date and time at which you want your post to be published. 
To learn more, see our Communications help guide.
Following our recent Labour Budget Enhancements, we have also updated our Budget Importer templates. These can be located by navigating to our Labour Budgets (
Rosters > Tools > Edit Budgets
), then selecting 'Import Metric/Sales/Labour Budgets' (depending on your selected budget type). 
Essentially, following our recent updates, the default columns on our templates no longer matched the required import columns. The table below summarises the changes, with bolded text indicating a new column has been added to that template.

COMING SOON: Automated Outer Limits and Wage Compare Top-Up Payments
Shortly, we will be releasing a new feature to help users deal with automated outer limits and wage compare top-up payments. Select organisations may have already noticed this feature and the associated settings are live in their accounts on a trial basis, with plans for a full release over the coming weeks.
Once this feature is merged, outer limits and wage compare top-up payments will be able to be automatically added to timesheets. These features will calculate the payment amounts according to the employee's Wage Compare setup, which you can learn more about in our Wage Compare help guide.
Outer Limits:
Outer limits payments are governed by the employee's outer limit settings as configured in Wage Compare. To access these, navigate to Workforce > Staff > select an employee
> Payroll > Wage Compare > add/edit a Wage Comparison
> Outer Limit settings. See this help guide for more details on configuring outer limits settings.
Wage Compare:
These payments are made according to the "Wage Compare Reporting Period" (the effective from and effective to dates) as set in the employee's profile via Workforce > Staff > select an employee
> Payroll > Wage Compare > add/edit a Wage Comparison
. Before now, this period was only used for reporting purposes for the Wage Compare Progress Report. Once this feature is released, these payments will be automated onto the relevant timesheet covering the reporting date, matching the end of the period.To access these features, users will first need to enable the associated settings via
Settings > Timesheet Settings > Wage Compare.

Once enabled, payments will appear on relevant timesheets as follows:

Once the feature is live in all accounts, this will be communicated in a separate Changelog post, which will also contain a detailed Help Guide about configuring and using the feature. Currently, we anticipate a release over the coming weeks.

Budgets
Multiple Labour Budget Enhancements
We have released several recent enhancements to our Labour Budgets feature, aiming to make the feature more useful, informative, and intuitive.
Create Budgets by Team, Team Group, or Location:
Previously, users could only set budgets at a Team level. We have expanded this to include Team Group or Location-level budgets. This setting can be changed on the Labour Budget Settings page via the ‘Budget Grouping’ option.
Quick Fill Budgets:
Users can now 'quick-fill' their budgets for multiple teams/team groups simultaneously for an extended date range. Features include:- Select any date range.
- Choose multiple teams/team groups within a location.
- Set daily budget patterns (for each day of the week).
- Apply patterns across your entire date range with one click.
This feature can be accessed via the 'Bulk Fill Budgets' button on the Budget Planner pages.

Include On-costs in Rostered Employee Cost Budget Comparisons:
Users can now enable the new 'Include on-costs' setting to add superannuation, payroll tax, and other on-costs to rostered employee cost calculations. This provides more accurate cost comparisons when viewing the comparison statistics below within rosters:
- Rostered vs Budgeted Employee Costs
- Forecasted Wage as % of Revenue vs Budgeted Wage as % of Revenue.
Note:
If enabled, this setting applies organisation-wide.
Updated Roster Integration
Budget comparisons in our 'roster view' now work with the following new grouping options:
- Team Group Budgetswill compare against combined costs from all teams in the group.
- Location Budgetswill compare against combined costs from all teams at the location.
- On-cost integration:When enabled, roster comparisons automatically include on-costs.
Note that budget statistics will only appear when budgets have been set for the selected grouping level.
You may also notice some other minor UI updates, designed to make the feature more user-friendly overall.
