Leave hours as per roster
complete

complete
Hi everyone I have some great news today. We have just released the ability to automatically fill leave requests either from Regular Hours of Work or from Published or Unpublished rosters.
Even better you can set the order in which Tanda fills the leave request. For example you can set the first option as Regular Hours of Work, but if the employee doesn’t have any regular hours it can fill from Published Roster. This is the recommended setup as we extend the Regular Hours functionality to be useful for even more staff e.g. Full Time staff, or Fortnightly regular hours.
If you're filling from the roster you must check that the leave request only includes ordinary hours (e.g. does not include hours the employee would not have worked or that would have been overtime).
Head to General Settings > Time Off > Autofill Leave to set this up. The setup can also be different for different staff - just use Tanda tags.
We would love your feedback on this feature. I really encourage you to email me at jess@tanda.co with any questions, comments, or suggestions so we can make this feature work well for your businesses.

Jess Golding: if these leave hours are going to be populated from the rostered shifts, please make sure that the actual shift Times are still viewable. We need to see these in order to pay the correct loadings. Also please include to functionality of split shifts and night duty as part of this improvement. Currently we need to process extra leave requests to accomodate night duty staff (process as 2245-2359 then 0000-0715) so if they have consecutive days off as night duty addition requests are required. No way that the staff member can actually input this on the request. Same goes for split shift leave. Thanks.
Jess Golding
MYRIAM FREER: Hi Myriam, thanks very much for this information. I can confirm that we will show the shift times and be able to handle split shifts and overnight shifts.
The way this will work is employees will request the days off they want (e.g. Monday-Friday). In general settings you will decide how to fill the data for the leave request (e.g. first look at the roster, if a roster doesn't exist for this time period look at Regular Hours of Work), Tanda will automatically input the data, then the manager will check and approve.
Would you be interested in beta testing this feature when it's ready?

Jess Golding: Hi Jess, yes I would be interested in testing - thank you. Can I also query - why Monday-Friday? Our staff also work and take leave on weekends. The other issue for us is that the Regular Hours of Work is not feasible as our Regular Hours are on a fortnightly basis so week 1 and week 2 are generally different. This is another point I have already raised as an improved and I guess is now more important with the new leave function.
Jess Golding
MYRIAM FREER: Hi Myriam, thanks I will reach out when we have something to test
Monday-Friday was just an example :) If your staff work weekends the functionality will cover this
Yes allowing fortnightly Regular Hours of Work is on our radar for upcoming work - we agree, with this leave functionality coming out it's becoming even more important

Leave hours as per regular hours as set in the employees profile would suit better for some or as per roster could work too. We have different working hours for Salaried vs Full Time vs Part Time

This is a wonderful suggestion. We have people on 8 hours, 7.6 hours and 7.5 hours depending on award and package. This would save an huge amount of time especially with the public holiday at Christmas time.

Yea, I too would like to see it automated, so when staff apply for leave, sick or other on a particular day, it corrosponds with the rostered hours automatically.

We would love this option too, in fact, it would be great to set salaried staff working hours in their card so it defaults because some of our staff work hours 8 hr days and others only 7.6 depending on their location.

Hi, I would like this feature too. Also I would like it if staff members got a warning or error when they planned Leave for more than their Agreed\Preferred weekly hours.

Jess Golding: Any chance this can get bumped up the improvements list? This is seriously painful having to manually change each staffs rostered hrs when approving their leave. Thanks
Jess Golding
Nicole Ewers: Hi Nic, apologies for the delay in getting this one done. The good news is I can't bump it any further up the list; it's next up :-)
The team is finishing off a project on helping manage part time staff, then will begin this work. We are expecting it to be complete by the end of Q1. Mind if I reach out to you for Beta testing when the time comes?

Jess Golding: Hi Jess - Thankyou for your reply . Yes happy anytime to Beta test
Jess Golding
Nicole Ewers: Thanks Nic, I will email you
