Setting up multi-entity payroll

Updated over 4 months ago

If you employ staff across multiple businesses, you can use separate Tanda accounts, or combine all the businesses into a single Tanda account.

Option A - Two separate Tanda accounts. This option is the best if employees and managers aren't shared between businesses.

Option B - Multiple businesses within the same Tanda account. This option is best if employees and managers often work across multiple businesses.

Option A - Separate Tanda Organisations for each business

This method creates complete separation between each businesses Tanda account. Staff employed across multiple businesses can switch between each Tanda account from one login, however their employments remain completely separate.

For example, if an employee exists in two Tanda organisations, the leave requests of each organisation will not appear in the other - they are completely distinct Tanda environments.

On the mobile app, employees have an option to view their shifts from each business and when they apply for leave they will have the option to select which businesses they are applying for leave at.

The image below shows an employee who works for two separate businesses, clicking on passcode reveals the passcodes at each location (these can be made exactly the same if required).


Option B - Single Tanda Organisation with multiple payroll integrations

The second method is to have multiple businesses in the same Tanda account each as separate locations. This option means managers can see if staff have already been rostered at another location, and centralises all leave requests in one Tanda Organisation.

The first thing you will need to do is set up payroll integrations for each business and set the default location as the correct location for the business.

The 'default location' links employees to the correct payroll file, by the 'default payroll location' field on the employee profile.

The default payroll team on the employee profile determines which payroll integration the employee's payslips will export to:


Important note: Staff timesheets are exported to the payroll integration that matches their default location regardless of how many shifts they work in each. Timesheets will not be split up and exported separately (3 shifts to one and 3 shifts to another), they will only ever export in full to the payroll file allocated to their default location.

Example

  • Ben works across Gold Coast and Brisbane but his default location is Brisbane.

  • He works 4 shifts in Brisbane and 1 at Gold Coast

  • When his timesheet exports it will be sent to the payroll file associated to his default location - Brisbane

If employees hold more than one instance of employment and are paid from multiple businesses each period, this will require the employee to have a profile in Tanda for each instance of employment to ensure that their entitlements are calculated separately, and ensure that each instance of employment is truly distinct.
