Parental Consent Re-Release & Improvements
We're releasing a new and improved version of
Parental Consent forms
in Tanda. 
This lets you handle the
full parental consent process digitally
when employing underage staff through Tanda Hire
or paperless onboarding
.Note: This feature is gradually rolling out to all accounts. If you would like to enable it in your account now, please reach out to the support team.
When an underage employee is invited to onboard or is part of the hiring process, attach a parental consent template to have them provide their parent or guardian's contact details. The parent is then sent a link to complete and sign the consent form.

Consent forms can be scoped to specific Australian
states
and age thresholds
so the right form is sent. Find them under Workforce
> Employee Onboarding
> Parental consent forms
.Learn more about the parental consent feature here.

Superannuation
Contractor Super from Payables Outside Tanda (AU Payroll)
Following on from the recent contractor updates, you can now
automatically calculate super from payables that originate outside of Tanda
.Note: These new contractor-based features are gradually rolling out to all accounts. If you would like to enable them in your account now, please reach out to the support team.
Enter the labour component of a contractor's invoice in the payslip, and Tanda derives the super automatically from this amount:

How it works:
- Configure a staff profile as 'Contractor'. Learn more here.
- Enter the amount being paid outside of Tanda in the new Super Contribution Base (Payables outside Tanda)field on the payslip. The appropriate amount of super will then be calculated and added to the payslip.
- The value entered in the above field will not be paid to the contractor through Tanda. This is only used to automatically calculate and apply super lines.
You can also set contribution bases in bulk via the payroll import/export settings.
We've introduced
new columns to show all YTD reportable balances
in detail when previewing your STP Finalisation. You can now also export these balances to CSV from the preview.Use the different tabs to see an itemised breakdown of reported earnings across
Balances, Allowances, Leave, Deductions, Super, Lump sums and Fringe & Termination payments

Availability Request Improvements
Following the introduction of the Availability feature in Tanda and the feedback we've received, we've made some changes to the form you use to adjust your availability.
These changes are not yet released, but will begin to roll out over the next few weeks.
Rather than having 3 separate forms (Ongoing Availability, Temporary Change to Availability, and Once-off Availability), you will now configure when you can and can't work through
one unified form
. See how this will work below:1:
Click Change Availability
(previously New Request
) to open the new availability form 
2:
Choose if this change to your availability has an end date or not
(i.e., if it is an ongoing
change, or a temporary
change) 
3:
If an end date is set, enter the reason
for the change4:
For each day of the request, choose whether you are available, available part of the day, or unavailable
. Each day will be prefilled with your existing ongoing availability for the chosen period.
There will also be the option to adjust the days in bulk to quickly block out time.

Company Trading Name in Payslips
Payslips sent using Tanda Payroll now also display the employer's
trading name
beneath the legal name in the Paid by section, so employees can more easily recognise the business they're being paid by. 

Previously, only the legal name was shown.
