Employee Notifications for Direct Managers Only
If your organisation has an org chart configured, notifications about employee actions such as
leave requests
and shift swaps
will now be sent only to the employee’s direct manager
(this includes the Time Off daily summary emails).Previously, higher-level managers could receive notifications for employees who report to lower-level managers. This update ensures notifications go to the person most responsible for handling them.
Note that if all direct managers are unavailable or on leave, the notification will escalate one level up to their manager’s manager.
You can now
sync your Google Calendar to Tanda
, allowing interviews scheduled in Tanda Hire to automatically appear in your calendar.
When an interview is booked, updated, or cancelled in Tanda, the Google Calendar event updates automatically. Candidates and interviewers are added as attendees in the Google Calendar event, and
the candidate will also receive the calendar invite via email
.You can also choose to include a
Google Meet link
when configuring interviewer availability, allowing interviews to automatically include a video meeting link in the calendar. How to set it up
- Go to Settings > All Settings > Customise & Extend Tanda > Calendar Sync(alternatively, you will be prompted to connect your calendar from the Interviewer Availability page of a job ad).
- Click Connect Google Calendar
- Sign in with your Google account and grant calendar access

Once connected, upcoming interviews will sync automatically.

Time & Attendance > Compliance > Award Templates

The Wine Industry Award Managed Template contains:

Pieceworkers:
In addition to the above, award rules have also been configured for piecework. Since piecework employees are paid by the piece/unit, the award rules configured for the Piecework stream capture only the worker's start, finish, and break times. Ordinary hours of work do not cost. We recommend setting the pieceworker rates as allowances so the total piece/units can be easily entered at the end of each shift.
