Using this guide:

This article will cover the below aspects of the Hair and Beauty Managed Template:

Firstly you will need to enable the Hair and Beauty Managed Template in your account. To do this go to Compliance > Award Template > Apply Template.

Select the relevant payroll system. Scroll down the page to Apply an Award then click Enable on the award template you would like to apply to your account.

Once the award template has been enabled you have the option 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 add an employee’s classification and pay grade, go to Workforce > Staff > (Employee Name) > Payroll. Under ‘Industry Award’, select the Award applicable to the employee, as below:

A series of tags have been created to suit each employee. These are:

You will also need a pay grade for each staff member, to be selected under ‘Classification/Level’.

These classifications correspond to those stipulated within the Award. Please see the below list:

Adults and Juniors:

Apprentices:

NOTE: Each time an apprentice progresses into the next stage of their career you will need to update their employment tag within their profile in Tanda. This is because Tanda does not automatically increase wages based on time periods.

For example, an apprentice that started on the 'Adult Beauty Therapy Apprentice 1st Year (Before 1 Jan 14)' pay classification in their first year of work will need to be changed to the 'Adult Beauty Therapy Apprentice 2nd Year (Before 1 Jan 14)' pay classification when they commence their second year of their apprenticeship.

Please see the below example of an employee configured to be Full Time paid at the Level 4 rate:

Please note that the above base hourly rate is based on the 2020/21 financial year rates.

For further information on configuring salaried staff specifically please see the Salaried Staff article.

📜 10.3 At the time of engaging a part-time employee, the employer and the employee must agree in writing on a regular pattern of work. That agreement must include at least all of the following:

(a) the number of ordinary hours to be worked each day; and

(b) the days of the week on which the employee will work; and

(c) the times at which the employee will start and finish work each day; and

(d) when meal breaks may be taken and their duration;

(e) that the daily engagement is a minimum of 3 consecutive hours; and

(f) that any variation will be in writing, including by any electronic means of communication.

Regular Pattern of Work

To record a Part Time employee's regular pattern of work in Tanda navigate to Workforce > Staff > (Employee Name) > Payroll > Regular Hours > Click 'Edit regular hours' button. Enter the applicable hours in the below and then select 'Save'.

A variation to a part time employee's regular pattern of work under Clause 10.3(f) can be recorded in Tanda.

Please refer to the 'Accepted Shift Variation' shift tag in the Award Tags of this article in order to implement this variation.

The regular hours of work for part time employees can also be bulk uploaded into Tanda via CSV. Please see the Configure employee contract hours (regular hours of work) article for more information.

Part Time Fixed Hours

If a Part Time employee has agreed to a total number of hours to be worked each week this total can be recorded in Tanda.

This can be set up by going to Workforce > Staff > (Employee Name) > Payroll > Scroll to the Part Time Fixed Hours field and enter the applicable number of hours in the section indicated below:

Minimum Base Hours

An employee's minimum hours can be set in the Employee Profile in Tanda to assist in reminding managers when rostering of the obligations to provide minimum hours. To do this navigate to Workforce > Staff > (Employee Name) > Payroll > Regular Hours > Click 'Edit regular hours' button and enter the applicable hours in the Minimum Base Hours field:

NOTE : The minimum hours functionality considers a weekly time period, but may still be useful as a reminder when using a roster period longer than a week.

Managers are then alerted on the roster if the guaranteed hours are not met:

For more information on setting up regular hours of work for Part Time employees please see Configure employee contract hours (regular hours of work).

For information on varying the contract hours for Part Time employees please see Have employees mutually agree to variations from their contract hours.

For information on unavailability in Tanda please see Get Started: Submit or Action Time off.

📜 11.2 An employer must pay a casual employee for each ordinary hour worked between 7.00 am and 9.00 pm Monday to Friday:

(a) the minimum hourly rate in clause 17—Minimum rates or clause 18— Apprentice, trainee and graduate rates, as applicable, for the classification in which they are employed; plus

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

Under the Hair and Beauty Award casuals are entitled to a loaded rate at the multiplier of 1.25x between 7.00am to 9,00pm Monday to Friday.

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 above 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 employees 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:

Pro Tip!

Ensure you hit the ‘Update Employee Details’ button at bottom left hand corner of the screen once the above details are entered to save the information.

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 Full Time employee as per below:

In the above image you can see that the hours have been classified as ordinary in the Timesheet Export Summary section.

The Timesheet Export Summary section will also indicate when time worked is overtime and what multipliers are associated with the managed template rules that are applying in the timesheet.

The same will occur if an overtime or penalty rate applies. For example, the below shows that when over 38+ hours are worked in a week or roster period a rate of 1.50x for the first three hours of overtime and a rate of 2.00x thereafter.

For further details on how to set up the overtime averaging period in your account please see Overtime Averaging.

This shift tag relates to the travelling time reimbursement under the Award and is applicable when an employee is to be paid for their travelling time when they are required to work from their usual place of work.

Before the application of the shift tag:

Ordinary hours are pulling through for all three shifts. All these ordinary hours will contribute to weekly overtime totals:

After the application of the shift tag:

And the below shows what the timesheet looks like once the shift tag has applied. The ordinary hours before and after the ordinary working hours are now marked as Travel Time which is considered non-ordinary hours:

Make sure the correct option is applied to the appropriate shift.

Accepted Shift Variation (Part Time Only)

The regular pattern of work for a Part Time employee can be varied by agreement per the below clauses of the Hair and Beauty Award:

📜 10.3(f) that any variation will be in writing, including by any electronic means of communication.

📜 10.4 The employer and the employee may vary an agreement made under clause 10.3. Any variation must be recorded in writing before the variation occurs.

📜 10.5 The employer must keep a copy of any agreement under clause 10.3, and any variation under clause 10.4, and give a copy to the employee.

When this shift tag is selected, an employee’s ordinary hours will pull through. This is to be used when there is a variation in a Part Time employee’s worked hours, and the employee agrees to this change.

If the employee does not agree to this change, do not select this tag. An overtime condition for ‘Outside Regular Hours’ will automatically apply.

Before the application of the shift tag:

The employee's regular hours of work on Tuesday are 8.00am to 4.00pm. The employee in this scenario has been asked to stay back to 5.30pm:

After the application of the shift tag:

Alternatively, the record of the agreement including the time it was agreed to can be captured in either of the below:

To use this feature please see Have employee mutually agree to variations from their contract hours which is an article that details how the shift acceptance feature can be enabled.

Allowances pursuant to the Hair and Beauty Award have been built into the Tanda system. These are divided into two key types - Automatic Allowances and Manual Allowances.

An automatic allowance will apply to the timesheet without any manual application. The automatic allowances available are:

In order for this allowance to automatically apply to an employee’s timesheet you will need to add this to their ‘Profile’.

To do this, go to Workforce > Staff > (Employee Name) > Payroll. Under ‘Additional tags’ search for the applicable allowance, for example the ‘Managers Allowance’ and then add this to the employee’s profile. Then click ‘Update Employee Details’.

The allowance will then automatically apply to the employee’s timesheet when applicable.

Please see the below example:

Some allowances will not apply unless specifically added onto the day’s timesheet.

These allowances are set up to manual as Tanda as it is not predictable when these allowances would be applicable. The manual allowances under the award are:

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.
