Employment Hero vs Tanda

Questions to ask when comparing Employment Hero vs Tanda

Can Tanda handle your entire employment lifecycle?

Tanda is primarily a workforce management platform, with strong capabilities in rostering and time and attendance, plus payroll for Australian compliance (STP, superannuation and award interpretation). It works well for operational scheduling use cases, particularly in hospitality and retail where workforces often sit under standard award conditions.

Employment Hero is a complete Employment Operating System (EmploymentOS), designed to manage the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding, to HR, payroll, performance, learning, engagement and benefits, all in one native platform.

Instead of stitching together multiple tools to manage your workforce, Employment Hero provides a single source of truth for people data across your entire business, reducing admin, errors and context-switching between systems.

Can Tanda support complex awards and customised pay conditions?

Tanda offers 30+ award rate templates and supports custom award rules, which can work well for businesses operating under standard award conditions.

Employment Hero’s payroll platform includes 60+ modern awards pre-built, giving businesses broader award coverage out of the box. This reduces the need to manually build custom award interpretations and supports more complex pay environments, including layered conditions and customised rules.

For businesses with mixed workforces, varied award coverage, or more advanced compliance needs, broader pre-built award coverage combined with flexible rule configuration can help reduce setup effort and the risk of manual configuration errors.

Does Tanda offer true automation beyond rostering?

Tanda includes workflow automation across rostering, time and attendance and payroll processes, helping teams streamline operational workforce management.

Employment Hero extends automation across the entire HR lifecycle. The platform includes 70+ pre-built templates to automate tasks such as visa checks, probation reviews and offboarding workflows, alongside configurable workflows that trigger actions across HR, payroll and onboarding.

This broader workflow automation reduces manual admin across more parts of the employee lifecycle, not just scheduling and pay.

How does each platform support employee wellbeing?

Tanda focuses on workforce operations and scheduling, and does not provide embedded employee benefits or wellbeing tools within its platform.

Employment Hero helps employers strengthen their employee value proposition (EVP) by combining HR, payroll and employee experience tools in one platform. This includes access to employee benefits and discounts across thousands of retailers, alongside optional wellbeing services such as Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).

Together, these tools help businesses support retention, engagement and wellbeing as part of the everyday employee experience – not just manage rosters and wages.

Can you scale with Tanda?

Tanda is designed for Australian workforce management and payroll use cases.

Employment Hero includes a fully integrated Global Employer of Record (EOR) service, allowing businesses to hire, onboard and pay staff in over 100 countries without setting up local entities. This supports global expansion while Employment Hero manages compliance, tax and payroll locally in each market.
