We have added several new ‘break’ columns to the Shift Report, allowing you to more easily view and report on employee break times.

We have also added a new column for shift comments (sometimes known as shift feedback).

Specifically, we have added the following new columns:

You can access this report by navigating to Report. Our Managing Deprecated Reports help guide provides more context on these new reporting columns.

Last November, we announced the release of a new Long Service Leave feature for employees based in Queensland. Now,

You can view and configure this by navigating to an employee’s profile () and selecting For this feature to work, an employee must have an Employment Start Date set in the .

Beyond this, the functionality should remain the same as outlined in our initial announcement post, though with Western Australia-specific Long Service Leave accrual rules and calculations.

For further details on using this feature, please see our help guide or our initial announcement post, linked above.

We plan to continue to roll this feature out to other Australian states and territories over the coming months, so stay tuned for further updates.

Over the coming weeks, we will be rolling out an updated Timesheets page with a cleaner, more user-friendly interface.

These changes mirror our recent Staff List update and primarily affect how Timesheets , . Now, the Staff List and Timesheets share the same layout for a more consistent, aligned user experience.

The biggest change is that the ‘Cost’ column received a makeover. Previously, this column showed three distinct pieces of information: timesheet costs, previous timesheet costs, and the percentage difference between these two figures.

Now, these are separated into two columns: ‘Cost’ and ‘Previous Cost.’ Where applicable, the percentage change is still shown in the ‘Cost’ column. Additionally, the toggle to hide costs has been removed. Instead, you can unselect the ‘Cost’ column via Columns to Display.

Other changes include:

We will begin rolling these changes out over the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

We have added a new ‘Group Dates’ filter to the Costs by Date Report.

This new filter gives you the option to group dates:

If you set your , the report would show you (i.e., showing sum totals for each week throughout the report). For example:

You can access this report by navigating to Our Managing Deprecated Reports help guide provides more context on these new reporting filters.

We have made a small security update. Users will now be prompted to enter their password before adding/editing a Tax Declaration on the Mobile App. This is simply the password you use to log in to Tanda.

After entering your password, you will have 15 minutes before your session expires and you’re prompted to re-enter it.

We already required users to enter their passwords to edit their bank details on the Mobile App. This update expands on that feature to further protect your personal information and meet ATO requirements.

We have added several new ‘leave’ columns to the Costs by Location and Team Report.

Specifically, we have added ‘Hours’ and ‘Cost’ columns for each leave type configured in your account, such as:

While we already had for each leave type, you could only filter by one leave type at a time. Adding columns allows you to compare multiple leave types simultaneously. For example:

You can access this report by navigating to

Workforce now offers which enables businesses to process payroll directly in Workforce. With Workforce , , and , you'll have all-in-one platform that empowers you to manage the entire employee lifecycle.

Workforce was built on the same code base as our and modules. This means you'll be able to seamlessly recruit, onboard, schedule, engage, pay, and offboard employees in Workforce—all without having to switch between platforms, transfer data across systems, or risk upsetting employees due to incorrect pay.

We have just released an updated version of the Attendance Report with more relevant, customisable filters. You can access this by navigating to

Please note that the old version of the Attendance Report still remains available, so you will see two ‘Attendance Reports.’ This is intentional to help minimise any teething issues with organisations transitioning to the new report.

The new version of the report includes several powerful features that the old report didn’t, including:

To differentiate between the two, consider pinning the new report or saving it as a custom report (via the actions menu).

Last week, we introduced a new leave autofill option: ‘Recent pattern of approved shifts.’

Now, we have slightly tweaked the functionality, adding two new configurable settings.

Previously, this leave autofill option was automatically set to review the 5 weeks before the requested leave date. You can now configure this. To do so, navigate to , and look for the settings titled: ‘Work Pattern Review Period (weeks)’ and ‘Work Pattern Threshold (weeks).’

Update these settings to set the review period for your . If you don't update these settings, the default figures will remain at 3 and 5 weeks.

We have added further roster validations when scheduling shifts on the Tanda mobile app.

Previously, if you scheduled an employee with roster validation errors for a shift and clicked publish, the system created the schedule but did not publish it. Instead, you were redirected to the schedule summary page to view and resolve the validation errors.

With this update, validation errors appear directly on the shift creation form That way, you can either resolve the errors or select a different employee to work that shift before hitting publish.

Otherwise, if there are any blocking validation errors (those that appear with the red exclamation point icon), the button at the bottom of the form will say "save draft" instead of "publish shift."
