Parental Consent Re-Release & Improvements

We're releasing a new and improved version of
Parental Consent forms
in Tanda.
image
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.
image
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.
We've just launched a new POS integration with
Shopify
, letting you automatically import your sales data from Shopify into Tanda.

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

Award Templates

Managed Template Wage Increases

All wage increases for the new 2026-27 financial year are
now live
across
all Tanda-managed award templates
. The new rates take effect from the first full pay period on or after 1 July.
If you have future rosters built before this update, recost them to apply the new rates.
You can learn more about the wage increases in Tanda here.
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
image
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)
image
3:
If an end date is set, enter the
reason
for the change
4:
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.
image
There will also be the option to adjust the days in bulk to quickly block out time.
We've introduced a new overtime roster validation condition to flag when an employee has
not received enough consecutive days off
in a week or fortnight and is triggering the associated overtime rule.
This is especially useful for users under the
General Retail Industry Award
per clause 15.7 (d), and under the
Pharmacy Industry Award
per clause 14.1(a).
Configure this validation under

From
1 July 2026
, the tax rate on income between $18,201 and $45,000 drops from 16% to 15%. Tanda Payroll now applies the updated tax tables automatically for any pay runs with a payment date on or after 1 July 2026.
We've introduced a new page dedicated to managing and editing your
Roster Patterns
. Find this under
Rosters
>
Roster Planning
>
Roster Patterns
or through the new banner on the existing Roster Patterns modal from the sidebar.
image
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.
