To utilise the Commercial Sales Managed Template in your account, you will first need to enable the Managed Template.

To do this navigate to Time & Attendance > Compliance > Award Template > Apply Template:

Select the relevant payroll system if you have not already enabled an integration:

Under Apply an Award navigate to Commercial Sales > click Enable:

Once the award template has been enabled you have the option to add staff to the award via the + Add Staff to Award button or via the below outlined process.

For further information on how to configure the settings in your account including automatic breaks and public holidays please see the article Configuring Settings.

To pay an employee under the Commercial Sales Managed Template, you will need to map the employee's Pay Conditions to the Managed Template.

To classify an employee under the Commercial Sales Managed Template, navigate to Workforce > Staff > (Employee Name) > Pay Conditions.

Under Industry Award, select Commercial Sales:

You will also need to configure their Employee Profile with an Employment Type and a Classification/ Level.

Please see the below example of the correct set up for a Part Time Merchandiser:

Once you have mapped the changes and selected Update Employee Details in the bottom left corner you will see that the Pay Rates table will populate with the applicable rates.

Casual Loading

📜 11.1 Casual loading

(a) For each ordinary hour worked, a casual employee must be paid:

(i) the minimum hourly rate for the classification in which they are employed; and

(ii) a loading of 25% of the minimum hourly rate.

Under the Commercial Sales Award Casuals are entitled to a loaded rate at the multiplier of 1.25%. Casual loading in Tanda is applied using the multiplier method.

In the Employee Profile in Tanda the casual rate is expressed in the Monday to Friday pay rate with the base hourly rate showing the rate without the loading added. This is demonstrated in the below image:

The base hourly rate is always expressed as 1.25x on the timesheet and, where applicable, penalty rates are expressed with the additional casual loading amount.

If employees are paid a base rate higher than the Award Rate, simply enter the employee's base rate in the highlighted field below.

This will override the rate in the system, and penalty rates and overtime will be calculated from this new rate.

For further information please see the Pay Above Template article.

When setting up the employee’s profile please ensure their date of birth has correctly been entered. Tanda will automatically pull this age and apply the correct rate.

For example, if an employee is 16 years of age Tanda will automatically apply the correct rate for the classification. Please see the below:

Employee's age has been set to 16 years

Base hourly rate will populate based on the age set in the profile

Once the employee classification has been set up, the rules applicable to that worker will now apply on the employee’s Timesheet when a shift is worked.

So, for example, an 9:00am to 5:00pm shift on a Monday will demonstrate the ordinary hours worked on this day for a Casual employee as per below:

The same will occur if an overtime or penalty rate applies. For example, the below shows that when a Part Time employee works over 10 hours in a day. A rate of 1.50x is paid for the overtime period.

📜 25.4 All travelling in connection with work by an employee at the request of the employer on a public holiday or a substitute day will be paid for at the rate of 150% of the minimum hourly rate with a minimum payment as for 3 hours’ travelling. Provided that instead of such payment, one and a half days’ leave with pay may be granted in respect of each holiday, at a time mutually agreed between the employer and the employee.

This shift tag is applicable when an employee is required to travel on a public holiday.

When the shift tag is applied to the timesheet it will pay the travel hours at a multiplier of 1.50x and will buffer the timesheet to 3 hours if the time travelled is less than this.

In order to ensure that the travel time multiplier is only applied to applicable time travelled, the time travelled and the time worked should be split on the timesheet.

Please see the below example.

Before the Application of the shift tag:

After the application of the shift tag:

When an employee has an agreement with their employer that overtime worked that would otherwise have been paid can be accrued as time off instead, they are agreeing to Time Off In Lieu (TOIL).

The Commercial Sales Managed Template contains TOIL conditions that can be applied instead of automatic overtime conditions per clause 19.3(a).

To categorise time worked as TOIL in Tanda, the shift must be tagged as TOIL so that time off can be accrued instead of overtime rates being paid. Per 19.3(d), time off will be accrued based on the overtime hours worked.

Once a shift has the TOIL tag applied, the overtime hours will no longer cost in the timesheet.

Please see the below example of the application of the TOIL shift tag when an employee has worked in excess of 10 hours in a day:

Before application of the TOIL shift tag:

After application of the TOIL shift tag:

To apply shift tags on the Timesheets, you must first have the Award Tag feature turned on. Turning on this feature will give you the drop-down box on timesheets from which shift tags can be selected.

To turn this feature on, navigate to Settings > Timesheets > Show Advanced Settings > select the box next to Show an extra dropdown to adjust a shift cost (Award Tag).

Once you have turned on the setting, you will see the additional shift tags drop down in the timesheet:

To use shift tags in an employee timesheet, you will first have to add the shift tag to the employee's profile.

To do this go to Time & Attendance > Staff > (Employee Name) > Pay Conditions > Edit Current Pay Conditions > under Additional Tags select the appropriate shift tag > click Confirm Changes.

Please see the below example where the TOIL tag is added to the employee profile.

For more information on apply award tags to several employees at once please see Bulk Categorised Staff.

Once you have saved the tags to the employee profile, they will become available to select from the shift tag drop-down in the timesheet:

To apply an allowance, go to the relevant employee’s timesheet and click on the blue ‘+ Add’ button under the start and finish times as shown below:

Then, from the dropdown, select the manual allowance you wish to apply.

Please note that any applicable automatic allowances will appear in the drop down however they cannot be edited.

Enter the number of units you wish to apply, then press the ‘Save Allowances’ button to apply it to the timesheet. Tanda will calculate the total cost of the allowance for you.

Once saved, the allowance will now apply to the day’s timesheet.

Repeat this process for each day and instance that a manual allowance is needed.
