We have just released two new reports that help users fulfil their Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) reporting obligations: the
WGEA Workforce Profile Report
and the
WGEA Workforce Profile Statistics Report
.
To begin using our WGEA reports, navigate to
Reports > Workforce > Employee Reports.

These reports can significantly reduce the time and effort required to gather all the necessary information to report to WGEA.
For a detailed breakdown of running and interpreting these reports and specific WGEA reporting requirements, please see our WGEA Reporting help guide.
We have just released our new Casual Conversion Report.
To access the new Casual Conversion Report, navigate to
Reports > Time & Attendance > Compliance Reports
. To get started, simply select an employee from the filter and click
generate
.
Reports-Tanda-02-27-2025_11_28_AM
This will be the first report to employ our new ‘Multi-Reports’ format, combining five distinct ‘sub-reports’ in one overarching report.
screencapture-staging-tanda-co-workforce-reports-casual-conversion-2025-02-27-13_52_51 (1)
These ‘sub-reports’ retain the basic functionality of the Casual Conversion Dashboard, including:
  • The employee’s overall pattern strength and tenure length
  • Is there a pattern based on shift length?
  • Is there a pattern based on shift length by day and week?
  • Is there a pattern of working on particular days and times?
  • Average and median values for each day of the week
This report will
replace our old Casual Conversion Dashboard
, which will
soon be deprecated
. For more details, please see our Managing Deprecated Reports help guide and this casual conversion resource from Fair Work Australia.
Following last week’s update, in which we announced we had redesigned our Qualifications edit page, we have now also
redesigned our Qualifications index page
for a cleaner, more intuitive user experience.
Screenshot 2025-02-27 at 10
Like other recent design updates, this change
does not impact the page’s functionality
. Instead, we have focussed on cosmetic and aesthetic upgrades, bringing it in line with the rest of the product.
To learn more, please consult our Qualifications help guide.
We have made several upgrades to the candidate review process when using Hire.
HR users will notice these changes when navigating to
Hire > Job Ads > View Applications.
Head-Chef-Tanda-02-26-2025_02_13_PM
Specifically, we have made the following improvements:
  • The page has been redesigned for a cleaner, more intuitive experience.
  • After clicking ‘View Applications’, you will be shown a list of candidates in a sidebar on the left of the page, with the selected candidate’s profile appearing on the right.
  • You can filter the list of candidates (e.g., ‘Shortlisted’, ‘Interviewed’ etc.).
  • Resumes and Cover Letters uploaded via PDF will now be embedded on the page rather than needing to be downloaded. If uploaded as a .docx file, they will still need to be downloaded.
  • You can quickly shortlist or reject a candidate with one click.
  • Instead of seeing a popup to confirm rejecting a candidate, they will be rejected immediately & sent a rejection email.
To learn more, please see our Review and Hire Applicants help guide.
We have added the ability to configure manual Allowances based on periods of time (i.e. hours and minutes).
To do so, navigate to
Time & Attendance > Compliance > Manage (Allowances) > + New Allowance.
The setting to configure Allowances to be based on periods of time is located under ‘Advanced options’ for the question ‘What rate is it paid at?’. Simply tick the ‘
Pay the rate based on a period of time
’ checkbox. You can also edit your existing Allowances and tick this box to apply the same functionality.
New-Allowance-Tanda-02-25-2025_02_24_PM
Once configured, you can apply your Allowance to Timesheets by inputting the appropriate period of time. For example:

We have made it easier to save break times on rosters.
Previously, break times didn't automatically save if you clicked outside the box when manually adding them to a roster (by selecting the three-dot menu > ‘Edit Breaks’).
Screenshot 2025-02-25 at 11
Following this update, break times will automatically save when you click outside the ‘Breaks’ box. This makes manually creating breaks more intuitive and user-friendly, reducing errors and incorrect/missing break times.
We have updated our ‘maximum hours’ roster validation for Qualifications.
Previously, you could only configure
weekly
maximum hours. We have updated this setting to allow users to configure
fortnightly maximum hours against Qualifications
, aligning with how Student Visa hours are calculated.
To do so, navigate to
Workforce > Qualifications
and click the pen icon to edit your Qualification. Then, enter the appropriate hours in the
Maximum Hours field
and select
Weekly
or
Fortnightly
, depending on your needs. Click
Save
to update the Qualification.
Screenshot 2025-02-25 at 9
From here, you will be warned on the roster if an employee is scheduled to work more than their maximum hours (provided you have enabled this validation via
Settings > Roster Validation > Qualification Invalid.
)

We have updated our “Consecutive Days Worked” Custom Award Rule parameters.
Previously, this rule only checked for consecutive days worked over the previous two weeks. Now, we have added more flexibility by introducing two new fields to the Custom Award Rule creation form (accessible via
Time & Attendance > Compliance > Custom Award Rules > Manage
).
Specifically, we have added a checkbox to ‘use the staff’s overtime averaging period for consecutive days worked.’ Additionally, we have added a field to nominate the minimum number of weeks an employee’s overtime averaging period must be for the rule to apply. For example:
FEAT-Extend-ConsecutiveDaysWorked-to-4-weeks-by-jake-the-dev-·-Pull-Request-35142-·-TandaHQ-payaus-02-21-2025_09_21_AM
To learn more, please consult our Overtime Averaging help guide.
We have just released our new Labour Budgets feature!

We have revamped our approach to Labour Budgets to give users more control over their data. Now, labour budgets link to rosters to provide clearer visual representations of budget statistics and progress. For example:

To get started, navigate to
Rosters > Tools > Edit Budgets.
Note that you may first need to disable our old Labour Budgets.
For a full explanation of our new Labour Budgets, please consult our Managing Labour Budgets help guide.
We have redesigned our main Qualifications page (
Workforce > Qualifications
) with a cleaner, more user-friendly layout.
Refactor-Rebuild-qualifications-edit-in-new-stack-by-MossJTanda-·-Pull-Request-35569-·-TandaHQ-payaus-02-19-2025_04_17_PM
This redesign mirrors our recent Timesheets and Staff List page redesigns, making the Qualifications page consistent with the rest of Tanda.
Note that the page's functionality remains unchanged, with the redesign focusing exclusively on its look, feel, and layout.
