Overview

Lead with accurate labour cost and complex payroll. This is an operational profitability integration, not just a timesheet export.

A $40/hour employee does not necessarily cost every job $40/hour.

Overtime, penalties and allowances can materially change the labour cost. Bringing that calculation back into WorkGuru gives managers a much better view of actual job profitability.

FAQs

Tanda questions

Where should staff enter their time?

In WorkGuru. That keeps the timesheet tied to the actual project or task before it is sent to Tanda for payroll processing.

Does Tanda send adjusted labour costs back to WorkGuru?

Yes. The integration is designed so payroll interpretation can update WorkGuru with the true cost of staff time.

Why use Tanda with WorkGuru instead of running payroll directly from job timesheets?

Tanda specialises in workforce management and award interpretation, while WorkGuru specialises in project and job costing. The integration lets each system do the part it is built for.

Capture time once. Pay people correctly. Cost the job properly.
