Tanda starts encoding state statute into the roster itself, not just the pay run.

◆Current state
Tanda ships several short, specific notes a week across Australian rostering, payroll and HR. The current window adds automated child employment law validation in rosters, a rebuilt child support deduction flow that moves reference numbers from employee profiles to the company file, a per-question training response report, and a toggle to hide the graph and table in Roster Day View. Two of the four are regulatory mechanics; the compliance work is where the substance sits.
◆Where it's heading
The direction is compliance moving upstream — out of payroll reconciliation and into the moment a manager builds a roster. Child employment rules are not calculated after the fact but checked at publish time, with a new School Details record on under-18 profiles supplying the inputs and a configurable warn-or-block setting deciding how hard the rule bites. The child support change follows the same logic from the other end: strip per-employee configuration that was error-prone and move the single source of truth to the company file.
◆Prediction
Expect the same treatment applied to further award and state-level rules — statutory constraints turned into roster validations with a warn/block switch — and continued consolidation of settings that currently live on individual employee profiles.

    New: Training Response Report (HR)

    A Training Response Report exposes each question and answer in every assigned training, with answer type and correctness as columns. It fills an obvious gap in Tanda HR's training module — completion was visible, the actual responses were not — and fits the run of reporting additions this product ships steadily.

    Australian Child Employment Rules in Rosters

    ⚡ SPARK

    Tanda now applies each Australian state's child employment laws as roster validations, backed by a new School Details tab on under-18 profiles and a rules reference page per location. This is the compliance work moving from payroll calculation into roster construction — the first time a whole statutory domain is enforced before a shift is published rather than reconciled after it.

    Hide Graph & Table in Roster Day View

    A dropdown option to hide the graph and table in Roster Day View. Display housekeeping for users who don't need either panel, with no change to what the roster does.

    Changes to Child Support Deductions (AU Payroll)

    Child support deductions now use a single employer reference number from Services Australia in the company file, and per-employee payment reference numbers become read-only. It removes a recurring source of clashing references in ABA files, and matches the wider pattern of pulling configuration off individual employee profiles onto the company record.

    Super Stapling Reminder During Onboarding

    Onboarding invitations now flag when super stapling has not been configured for the payroll company behind the new employee's default team. Consistent with Tanda's habit of surfacing a setup gap at the moment it causes downstream payroll work rather than leaving it to be discovered later.

    Written Signatures for Documents

    Documents can require a hand-drawn signature placed at a chosen position, captured in the mobile app and written onto the stored file. It moves Tanda's document flow from acknowledgement to signature capture, which matters for the HR paperwork that needs an actual mark rather than a click.
