Tanda lets managers pick who can claim a vacant shift and adds bulk availability approvals.
Tanda's workforce and payroll platform ships rostering, HR and payroll controls in near-daily batches. On 11 and 12 November managers gained a choice of who can claim a vacant shift, bulk approval of availability requests, a roster publish menu that remembers settings, and skills ratings inside performance reviews. Payroll got team-level journal accounts for split autopay salaries, and the old wage comparison report was retired in favour of Wage Compare.
Leapsome publishes another batch of HR templates and software roundups.
The tracked feed for Leapsome is its marketing blog, not release notes. On November 13 it published five pieces within half an hour: payroll, offer letter and background check templates plus roundups of HR software for mid-sized firms and applicant tracking systems for small businesses. Earlier batches covered HR plans, leadership surveys and retention bonuses. None describes a product change.

After a 4 November HR Agent beta and SMS in Hire, the latest batch is about cutting manager clicks in scheduling and approvals. Several changes consolidate older tools, such as the retired wage report and the redesigned publish menu, which points to a cleanup of the rostering surface alongside new HR features.
The redesigned roster publish menu is due to go live this week, and more consolidation of older reports and menus is likely; the entries do not show the HR Agent beta's next step.

The content has shifted toward recruiting topics, but the feed still carries no product signal. Publish dates cluster in batches, so they say little about release activity.
The entries do not show the next product move; more batches of HR guides are the only visible pattern.
