Hello Speakeasy Group Staff Members!

I hope you are all well, keeping warm, and keeping the winter blues at bay!

After our shift to Tanda we have taken on feedback from both our finance and venue teams and have decided that the best move for everyone is to move to a weekly pay cycle across the group. This is to commence next week to be in line with the new financial year. 

What this means for you? 

Melbourne staff will be paid on Tuesday 2nd July and weekly there after. Sydney staff will be paid on Wednesday 3rd July and weekly thereafter. 

The pay cycle will run from Monday to Sunday. This means it is now more important than ever to ensure that every shift you work is recorded correctly in Tanda.

Please make sure to sign in and out at the beginning of your shift and for all breaks. Managers, we ask that you approve all shifts daily to ensure that Monday payroll is a quick and smooth process for you and your team.

As we roll into a new financial year, there are a few other changes to be aware of:

Superannuation

As of July 1, 2024, the superannuation guarantee will increase from the current rate of 11.0% to 11.5%.

Rate of Pay

The minimum wage review for the 2023-24 decision has been published by the FWC, confirming a minimum wage increase of 3.75%. Over the coming weeks, the FWC will also publish draft determinations and orders on how the increase impacts each modern award. The FWC will then update those that are paid an hourly rate accordingly. This will be an automatic update within Tanda and will come into effect for the first pay period after July 1.

Finally, while I have your attention, thank you for all of your hard work across the group, we appreciate everything you do!

As always, please feel free to reach out to myself or Ian with any queries.

Kindest regards,

Tracy

Hi Team,

I hope all is well with you!

With the recent changes to our time and attendance software, we are also adapting to new software, including an automated Right to Work Check software (vSure) that will help us verify the work rights of our employees across the company and our venues.

Previously, with Employment Hero only those who were not citizens or permanent residents of Australia were required to upload the data however with this new software and to bring us in line with the Right to Work Check all staff are required to complete it.

With that being said, once we have added your details on vSure, you will receive an email and a text message instruction requesting permission to check your Right To Work in Australia.

For questions and concerns feel free to reach out to me or Tracy.

Thank you!

Hello All,

I hope you are all well and keeping warm! 

As some of the Melbourne staff have experienced, we have encountered a few glitches while transitioning to the new payroll software, Tanda.

We have found that some issues stem from staff not signing in and out correctly for shifts and breaks. To ensure everyone is paid correctly and on time, please make sure to check and confirm your sign-ins and sign-outs at the end of each shift.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,

Tracy
