Tanda

HR
Velocity5.0

Tanda grinds through award compliance, leave edge cases, and mobile parity with no directional shift.

◆Current state
Tanda is an Australian workforce management platform pushing a steady stream of compliance and ergonomic improvements rather than directional bets. The recent fortnight is dominated by award-rule configurability (majority hours, shift-length rounding), leave handling under classification changes, and payroll feature gaps (fixed-rate leave types, automatic salaried timesheets). Releases read like a backlog being methodically cleared.
◆Where it's heading
The center of gravity is regulatory fidelity — multiple updates respond directly to Fair Work Commission decisions and FWO pay guide changes. Around that, Tanda is closing parity gaps between web and mobile and adding automation where customers were doing manual work. Nothing here suggests a category shift; the moat is keeping pace with Australian industrial awards.
◆Prediction
The next SCHADS Award template update flagged in the May 14 release will likely ship within weeks. Beyond that, expect more configurable award-rule primitives — Tanda has been steadily expanding what each rule can attach to.

◆Recent moves

    Leave Requests to Action: Employee Classification Changes

    Surfaces future leave requests that became invalid when an employee shifted classification (e.g., Full-Time to Casual), with one-click conversion to Unpaid or rejection. Closes a real edge case that previously needed manual cleanup.

    Award Rule Configuration: Majority Hours Worked Between Times

    Extends award rules to apply by majority-hours-in-a-time-range — e.g., a shift mostly worked between midnight and 8am pays the shiftwork penalty. Joins the existing majority-of-hours-on-a-day option, continuing the pattern of making award rule primitives more composable.

    Automatic Timesheets for Salaried Staff

    Salaried timesheets can now be auto-generated from each employee's Regular Hours of Work, with two-party confirmation. A meaningful gap-filler — salaried timesheet tracking has historically been a manual workaround in Tanda.

    Projected Leave Balance Enhancements

    Leave request screens now show a Current / Projected / Already-Approved balance breakdown, with more accurate projected accrual maths. Visibility upgrade rather than a functional change — managers see whether future requests will still fit.

    Shift Replacement Costs Now Visible In-App

    Mobile parity fix — managers approving vacant shift claims now see wage cost and rostered-hours impact on mobile, matching the web view. Tanda is closing the web/mobile gap on manager-side decisions one screen at a time.

    Award Rule Configuration: Shift Length Rounding

    Award rules can now extend shift length to the nearest minute increment. Small composability addition to the same rule engine that got the majority-hours-between-times option in the same release window.
