Does Rosterly do award interpretation like Tanda?

No. Rosterly records rostered and actual hours, removes unpaid breaks and exports approved hours as a CSV. Awards, penalty rates, overtime and STP stay with your payroll provider. If you need award interpretation in your rostering tool, Tanda is the better fit.

What is a simpler alternative to Tanda?

If your payroll provider already handles awards and STP, a simpler rostering tool may be enough. Rosterly covers rosters, time clock, leave and team updates for a flat A$29, A$59 or A$119 a month by team size, with a self-serve free trial.

Is Rosterly cheaper than Tanda?

For rostering alone, usually yes: 25 staff on Tanda’s published bundle is 25 × A$12.80 = A$320.00 a month plus GST, which includes payroll and HR. Rosterly’s Team plan is A$59 a month including GST for up to 25 staff, without payroll or HR.

Can I switch from Tanda to Rosterly?

Yes. Create a workspace, add your locations, invite staff by email and rebuild a typical week. Keep a payroll provider for award calculations and STP, and send it Rosterly’s export of approved hours each pay period.

What Tanda does well

Award interpretation

Tanda describes its award interpretation as industry-leading, with Modern Award Templates for base rates and complex conditions. Rosterly doesn’t calculate awards, penalty rates or overtime; that stays with your payroll provider.

Payroll with STP

Tanda’s payroll module can file Single Touch Payroll directly from your Tanda account. Rosterly exports approved hours as a CSV for the payroll tool you already use.

HR in the same place

Onboarding, contracts and documents, and qualification and licence records sit next to the roster. Rosterly has documents and policies with acknowledgements, not full HR records.

Demand-based rostering

Tanda uses sales data for demand-based and predictive rostering. Rosterly doesn’t read sales or forecasts; managers set the roster themselves.
