This article details how to apply public holiday templates in your Tanda account, and how to add additional public holiday dates.
Tanda includes templates containing the dates of State and Federal public holidays. Public holidays that are determined by your local council government are not included in these templates - you can add your local show day holiday by following the steps below.
Select your public holiday region
As best practice, configure your account wide Public Holiday region as 'Australia (national holidays only)' by following the steps below:
Navigate to Settings > All Settings > General > Public holiday regions
Select your public holiday region from the list
On your location settings, configure your state specific Public Holiday region (eg. 'Queensland') by following the steps below;
Navigate to Workforce > Teams > Edit Location > Advanced Options > enter the Holiday region
Enter additional public holiday dates
If you have public holidays which are not included in the state or federal templates, such as a public holiday determined by your local council, enter the additional date by following the below steps.
Navigate to Workforce > Teams > Edit Location > Advanced Options > enter the additional date
Note: If a location does not have a public holiday region set, the holiday region from your account general settings will be used, however, if a public holiday region is specified in the location settings for a particular location, Tanda will refer to the location settings for all public holiday dates, including which additional dates are applicable.
How to identify public holidays in Tanda
To identify when a public holiday is applying in Tanda, check for the green icon on the rosters and timesheets. This is a good way to check that your public holiday settings are configured correctly.
FAQ
How do I make a public holiday apply to an employee?
If there is more than one location in your Tanda organisation, and each location has individual public holiday settings, the location of the employees default payroll team is used to determine which location's public holidays should apply to the employee.
Only the default payroll team's location public holiday dates will be applied to this employee, regardless of whether the public holiday shift was worked in another location.
