Finalise timesheets in Tanda
At the end of each pay cycle, ensure all timesheets for the period are finalised. This includes:
Approving timesheets
Approving or declining leave requests
Ensuring all staff have bank and superannuation details submitted
Once timesheets have been finalised, navigate to the Timesheets tab and click the Preview Export button.
Review any export errors or warnings, confirm total hours and wages, and click the Create Payrun button.
Once successful, you’ll see a confirmation screen, and can navigate to Tanda Payroll.
Post a pay run
Navigate to Payroll > Run Payroll to view your exported timesheets. The summary will include:
Period
Payment Date
# Employees in pay run
Pay Group
Earnings
Tax
Superannuation
Net Pay
Payrun Status
STP Submission Status
To post a pay run:
Select the relevant pay run
Review details of the pay run including earnings, taxes, and superannuation
Correct any errors that may display (e.g. missing bank details)
If paying staff for the first time, ensure leave balances and deductions are configured
Click the Post Pay Run button once finalised
Once the pay run is posted, an ABA file will become available for upload to your financial institution. See the ABA File guide for more information on this process.
File STP
Once a pay run has been posted, the option to File (STP) will become available. You'll be prompted to confirm that payroll and tax details are ready to report, and clicking Confirm will share the information with the ATO. Learn more about STP in the full guide.
Email payslips
The ATO requires payslips to be distributed to employees within 1 working day of payroll being run.
Once a pay run has been posted, the option to Email Payslips will become available. Clicking this button will send an electronic copy of an employee's payslip to the email listed on their profile in Tanda.
Once payslips have been sent, a confirmation message will appear at the top of the pay run, where the status of individual employees' payslip emails will show under the Payslip sent? column:
Revert a pay run to a draft
If changes need to be made to a pay run, convert the pay run to a draft. This will also reverse any leave and unpaid super accruals.
Note: A pay run can only be reverted if Single Touch Payroll (STP) has not been submitted yet. Once STP has been submitted, create an out-of-cycle pay run to handle adjustments.
To do this:
Navigate to the Pay Runs tab
Open the relevant period’s pay run
Click Actions
Click the Revert to draft option
Click REVERT on the confirmation message
