Breaks

Yes, Tanda’s employee roster app can automatically roster staff for compliant meal and rest breaks. Our online staff roster contains an automatic breaks feature which allows users to specify what breaks their staff have to take and when. This is based on how long their shifts on the online staff roster are and whether they are paid or unpaid shifts on the employee roster app. Instead of manually adding breaks to each shift on the online staff roster, for each employee, for each week, Tanda will add them automatically to your staff roster app and timesheets.

Building upon automatic breaks, you can also use the online staff roster to specify when a break must be taken in each shift to remain compliant with your award’s specifications. For example, clause 16.2 of the Hospitality Industry General Award specifies that unpaid meal breaks must be taken after the first 2 hours of a shift on the roster schedule app, but within the first 6 hours – both of which are configurable in Tanda’s rostering software programs app.

Our employee rostering software also allows you to name the breaks you’ve configured in the online staff roster (roster schedule app), and allow staff to select which break they’re taking to ensure the correct breaks are being recorded in the online staff roster (roster schedule app). Many hospitality or quick service restaurants distinguish between meal breaks and drinks breaks – apply these names to reduce the risk of staff clocking the wrong break.

At the same time, you can also use our online staff roster (roster schedule app) to set minimum break durations to prevent staff from clocking back into their shifts too early on the online rostering system. Many industry awards specify the minimum length of a break on the staff roster app, and staff clocking back in on the staff roster app even one minute early can lead to non-compliance. Tanda’s employee rostering software solution prevents staff from clocking off their break on our online staff roster until the minimum length has surpassed.

Tanda’s rostering and scheduling software / employee scheduling software Australia uses an industry leading award interpreter to analyse staff working hours and pay employees their correct pay and entitlements. Our industry leading award interpretation engine can automate your wage calculations, whether you’re on one of our built-in award templates or have a custom EBA. From here, our employee scheduling software Australia (staff rostering software) exports data from the online rostering software to a payroll provider of your choice, which pays your staff.

All shifts created on rostering software programs (automated rostering software) need to be compliant with Fair Work rules. These staff rostering app shifts vary between different awards and enterprise agreements, although Tanda’s rostering and scheduling software (automated rostering software) can handle these complexities. Typically, restrictions on the roster schedule app include things like a minimum number of hours between two shifts, maximum shift lengths, or how late junior staff can work, all of which are built into our rostering and scheduling software. Some awards also contain other rules for using staff roster software (staff roster app) salaried staff, such as outer limits and maximum penalty hours in a week. Familiarise yourself with these staff roster app rules and check out Tanda’s written article detailing many of these restrictions.
