Tanda ships a dense cluster of payroll accuracy and reporting improvements aimed at Australian compliance depth.

◆Current state
Tanda is an Australian-market workforce management platform covering scheduling, timesheets, payroll, and recruiting (Tanda Hire). The product ships at high cadence with a strong compliance focus — AU award management, contractor tax details, Fair Work Commission alignment — alongside UX polish for payroll teams and line managers. Recent releases cluster around payroll data accuracy, reporting flexibility, and white-labeling for B2B use cases.
◆Where it's heading
Tanda is filling out its existing surface rather than making directional moves. The Hire module is expanding (talent pools, multi-SEEK integrations) in parallel with core payroll depth, suggesting a push toward a complete HR stack for Australian SMBs rather than a best-of-breed point solution. No AI or agentic features are visible in recent releases; the investment is in compliance breadth and data accuracy at the edges of the payroll process.
◆Prediction
The most likely next move is continued Australian award compliance automation — more managed templates tracking the Fair Work Commission's multi-year phase-in decisions — and further Hire module buildout to reduce recruiter reliance on a separate ATS.

◆Recent moves

  1. 1d ago

    Contractor tax columns, onboarding data, and new shift report filters

    Three targeted reporting additions: onboarding questions in the employee report, new contractor tax columns for AU (ABN, GST status, superannuation), and location/award tag filters in shift reports. Each fills a specific data gap for Australian payroll teams rather than broadening the platform's scope, consistent with Tanda's pattern of incremental compliance reporting depth.

    Timesheet Export Warnings in Pay Runs

    Warnings previously only surfacing during timesheet export are now surfaced on the pay run itself, and visible even when automatic pay run actions fire without user intervention. This closes an accuracy gap where automated payroll could proceed with warnings no one ever saw — a meaningful change for teams running hands-off payroll cycles.

    Custom Email Branding

    Tanda now supports custom logos and brand colors on all outgoing emails, with the same config extending to the Tanda Hire careers page. This is primarily a white-label feature for partners and agencies reselling Tanda — not a change to core functionality but a meaningful capability for B2B distribution.

    Pay Check Warnings on Onboarding Completion Emails

    Onboarding completion emails now include pay check warnings, surfacing missing or incorrect pay data at the exact moment a new hire finishes their setup. Catching payroll errors at onboarding is cheaper than fixing them in the first pay run — this shifts error detection earlier in the employee lifecycle.

    Pay Run Notes

    Pay runs now support freeform notes with author attribution and edit/delete controls. Useful for teams handing off between payroll processors, but a minor collaboration addition with no workflow impact.

    Payroll Tax Report: Compare to Previous Period

    The AU Payroll Tax Calculator report gains a period comparison toggle, showing prior-period totals alongside current ones and computing variance automatically. For payroll teams doing period-over-period reconciliation, this removes a manual step — consistent with Tanda's incremental push toward reducing calculation work inside the payroll review cycle.
