Vorteile
Easy to learn. As the person in charge I not only had to learn this product, but I had to train everyone else on this product. And not just train them, but sell them on why it was better than what we were using. Luckily, Deputy is so complete, it was easy. They haven't forgotten a single step.
Nachteile
I wish it synced with my Google calendar. Only thing missing.
Vorteile
We love the fact that it gives both the manager and the staff the flexibility to control their shifts and it gives the employees a sense of ownership - they are almost responsible for their own time management.
Not to mention all the flexibility it gives the management of building shift templates, managing leave and the especially the time sheets (now that paid breaks are a feature) it makes payroll preperation a breeze. (We haven't yet used the Xero payroll integration and the Xero payroll has not yet been rolled out in our country, but we are looking forward to it).
As a busy little cafe we have also used the task management feature to cover off all of our daily / weekly food safety requirements which makes it much easier for everyone to input their duties and the simple fact is - if its easier, it gets done.
Before moving to Deputy we tried a few other products but this one seemed to suit us best and one of the main reasons we moved is because we felt it offered the best value for money especially as our staff numbers change all the time.
We have recently expanded our operation to second location and without Deputy the shift management could have been hectic. Having this system already in place just meant that we had one less thing to worry about.
Deputy has become an integral part of our daily routine.
Nachteile
As mentioned earlier we are a busy little cafe so we spend most of our time on the shop floor, whilst Deputy has a fantastic mobile options and visibility, as managers it would be great if had more flexibility to "approve" more employees requests on the go like shift swaps and leave applications.
Also I found that the employees with Android phones seem to have a few bugs still hiding away in their app and they also don't yet have access to the task manager on their phones.
However, these are fairly small issues in the great scheme of things and based on the development rate and technical support I have received to date I have no doubt that these are already in the development pipeline. We look forward to the updates as they roll out.
Since implementing deputy towards the end of 2015 in our business, I have worked closely with Jake and Joseph on making the system work with ease and ensure we are using the system to its potential.
Our business has a high turnover of transient employees who work varied hours and days of work which makes it hard for our managers to roster efficiently.
The team at Deputy have worked with us to add custom features which can help with our daily struggles in turn saving us time and money by being able to roster effectively and ensure we are being compliant at each step.
As the Payroll officer for our Australian and New Zealand region, Deputy have allowed me to streamline the fortnightly payroll process. Removed the need for any manual inputting, in turn ensuring we have time for quality checks, within our limited time constraints on payroll day.
We are a fast paced business and this system works extremely well for our managers creating and publishing the rosters, as well as confirming timesheets.

Doesn't do 'Modern award' interpretation. Although we have now got the system to interpret the Award this was a lot of custom features we worked with the Development team on.
Probably one of the best scheduling/staffing apps out there organizing my company's staffing, scheduling and payroll.
Vorteile
The scheduling features, clocking in and out (especially with location services), communication with team capabilities, and overall polished interface are so well thought out and done. I researched several different software and apps, but this one really checked a lot of boxes for our small business. We have a core staff and many seasonal staff, so having a versatile staffing and scheduling app was very important. I love that I can copy weekly schedules, easily change staffing whenever I need to, communicate with the team about changes right through the app, and write notes about each shift with additional information. When it's time for payroll, the approval and tallying of hours is so quick and easy.
Nachteile
So far it is an indispensable part of my business. I (and my staff) absolutely love it. The only issue I still have with the app is its inability to have several different pay rates for each person. Our company offers several different "jobs" that people can claim, but each job has its specific pay rate. When it comes to payroll, it would be nice to be able to select which payrate that employee is being paid for each shift/or position. Once this is in place, then I will be able to benefit from the budget and exporting features of the app. Right now, I cannot, but I understand this may be a special set-up.
We have over 170 staff in 6 regions nationally. We are looking to expand this to our international teams.
We operate event merchandising at venues all around the country, however, we cannot install fixed hardware to have our team clock on and off for their shifts.
The Deputy experience for our team created greater transparency and opened up a more robust communication culture.
We operate under 3 awards across the business based on location and our team can work in multiple locations, so we needed to develop a script to understand how all the awards needed to interact with each other. Thanks to the thorough API library we were able to completely customize scripts and reports to cut our timesheet approval experience to less than 1 hour on a Monday and the payroll team was able to free up 2 entire days from their week.
Our rostering team has been able to reduce the time working on roster production to 2 days and maintenance of the rosters has become a much more simple task - this can often be done in the app!
Deputy has allowed our business to scale without increasing our scheduling workload. We have expanded our operations team to focus on our business practices and service delivery and because Deputy is part of our team now we have far greater visibility than ever before without additional time invested.

Deputy automates the process of tracking time and attendance and scheduling employees for businesses of all sizes. The cloud-based time and attendance software is designed to facilitate communication between business owners, managers, and employees, helping busy professionals stay in touch even while on the go. Because it’s completely cloud-based, workers can access their timesheets and leave requests from home or while traveling, as well as in the office.
Instead of punching a timeclock or filling out paper-based timesheets and leave requests, businesses can centralize everything through Deputy. Businesses report significant savings on payroll costs using Deputy, apart from the additional savings they enjoy by reducing time and administrative costs.
Deputy promises to be an easy and powerful time reporting and scheduling app, allowing businesses to request time off and business owners to approve it. The social media-like interface encourages communication among all team members, avoiding the many issues that stem from miscommunication.
Many businesses find they can simply set up Deputy on a shared iPad, where employees can clock in and out to signal the beginning and end of shifts and breaks. Employees need only choose their name from a list and enter a pin to log their time. When an employee logs in at the kiosk, any pending communications can be read. The employees can also leave messages for supervisors.
Using Deputy’s Rostering feature, business owners can schedule shifts in advance, ensuring all work will be covered even if someone is on vacation. To create a shift, managers just double click on the designated date and choose a start and end time for the shift, as well as the break length. The system will then prompt the manager to choose from a list of available team members, who can be added with just one click.
Once a roster is finished, the manager can publish it on the app or print it out and hang it on the wall. The next week, last week’s roster can be copied and rearranged to meet that week’s changes. Rosters can also be emailed or text-messaged to employees to keep them from having to come into the office to check them.
To make payroll easier, Deputy integrates with some of the most popular payroll processing systems. Employee schedules will be connected directly to these applications to ensure pay is processed in a timely and efficient manner. This helps reduce errors while also removing paperwork from the process.
This payroll integration will also make things easier at tax time. Businesses can use the information gathered by Deputy to process payroll taxes, whether they handle them independently or utilize a tax preparation service. Deputy also integrates with several popular project billing apps to make client billing easier.
Wall-mounted timeclocks have become outdated, but they served an important purpose. For shift workers, an on-site device that allows for easy punching in and out is crucial. Instead of relying on each employee to use a personal smartphone or tablet, Deputy Kiosk for iPad resides on a dedicated device that can be set up in a shared area, accessible to all workers.
Deputy also solves the problem of employees clocking in for each other by allowing the use of photo capture to verify an employee is actually on site when the start time is logged. For employees who have their own smartphone, an app can be used to not only clock in, but also use geo location to log the exact location of the employee clocking in.
Deputy ensures business owners can easily communicate with all team members, with the ability to send updates to everyone at once. When tasks need to be assigned, they can be sent to team members directly within the app, which lets business owners communicate assignments as soon as they think of them. No more leaving Post-It notes on POS terminals or making last-minute phone calls. Once a task is complete, managers will receive a notification.
Through Deputy, managers can keep performance journals that consistently update staff of their performance. This consistent communication can help a business keep morale high, while also ensuring business owners are always aware of how a team is performing.
Thanks to Deputy’s reporting features, business owners can access information on what team members are doing, including the number of rostered employees and the number of employees on leave. Deputy also provides information on which employees are celebrating birthdays.
Using the Roster vs Timesheet vs Sales report, owners can see how scheduling is impacting sales, whether positively or negatively. This can show how unscheduled overtime or unworked but scheduled hours are impacting a business’s bottom line.
From payroll to point of sale, Deputy integrates with a variety of applications, allowing businesses to streamline operations to further save money. These integrations include payroll software like Xero, ZenPayroll, QuickBooks, project billing software like WorkflowMax, Wennsoft and POS software like Vend, Kounta and Shopify.
Deputy is also available in the Google Apps marketplace, which lets administrators install the software in a business’s apps domain. Once there, users can install Deputy with one click.
A starter plan is available for free, but most businesses will prefer to upgrade to a paid plan for full benefits. The premium plan is only $1 per employee per week and includes unlimited employees and locations and the ability to send rosters via SMS and email.

We had employees staying clocked on after shifts milking the clock. We didn't notice it until it was time to run payroll. Now this tells me whenever someone stays on more than 5 minutes past their shift. Or clocks in more than 5 minutes early. 6 stores, 3 shifts a day, it really adds up quickly!
