Tanda Payroll now supports Confirmation of Payee checks when bank account details are entered. This works the same way many banks verify account names during transfers.

When bank details are added for an employee, Tanda will check if the entered account name appears to match the name connected to the BSB and account number. You can see this by hovering over the bank account in the employee's profile.

You can now automatically cash out leave in Tanda Payroll when an employee moves from a (e.g. Full Time or Part Time) to a (e.g. Casual). Previously, leave would only be automatically cashed out on termination.

If an employee’s Pay Conditions change to a non-accruing type during a pay cycle, a button will appear on their payslip.

This will automatically add the employee's leave balance to the section of the payslip. Only leave types with the "" setting enabled will be cashed out.

See which balances can/can’t be paid out upon employment change.

: Leave paid out due to an employment type change automatically uses the hourly rate from the employee’s previous employment conditions.
