Deputy is a web-based workforce manager solution. Deputy is designed to help users simplify their scheduling, timesheets, tasking, employee communication and administrative tasks. It includes various apps and one click payroll integration that aim to make workforce management easier. The Deputy platform enables users to schedule in line with demand, prepare accurate payroll, and communicate more clearly. Deputy streamlines employee admin, so teams can focus on what…
Deputy's UI was much better than Tanda. We also loved the Award Integration of Deputy compared to Tanda. Xero integration is another plus for Deputy because Tanda's integration was slower and it did not push all necessary information. Integration was easier with Deputy. From …
Deputy surpasses expectations with its intuitive simplicity and outstanding value. It eliminates guesswork from the equation while delivering exceptional cost-effectiveness.
I can create shifts in Deputy and change on the timesheet before approving, without having to change the shift in scheduling. Often times our managers ask employees to start work earlier than scheduled, and we need the flexibility to approve it on employees' timesheet.
BrightHR was frustrating. One of my staff already uses BrightHR at another job of theirs and when they tried to log in to our business to check the roster they didn't have the ability to swap businesses. The only solution BrightHR came up with was for my staff to create another …
Too far back to remember other alternatives reviewed. But Deputy was the simplest and most user-friendly solution that accomplished exactly what we needed to do, and at a reasonable price.
I can't compare it to many other products, because we have been using Deputy for such a long while already. The product was chosen on it's price per user and options available, Deputy scored well on this compared to other products. Since the initial decision to use Deputy we …
7shifts was not able to provide the integration we needed for our payroll system and no support to integrate with our HR system. It also did not have the ability to create custom reports or create reports in a format that we could use for payroll. The user interface was a bit …
Deputy beats the rest in cost vs function. Deputy has great ease of use and is great for organization, keeping staff on task, and documenting progress. The dashboard is extremely effective too.
I didn't give a legitimate chance to Teams because I was so invested in Deputy. If I had a guess I would assume the Deputy interface to be a bit less clunky than Microsoft products tend to be. Deputy just works solidly and I've had no major issues in nearly 3 years so it's hard …
I tried ADP Time and Attendance and Therap for our company's scheduling, but neither was as easy to use as Deputy is for us. I appreciate Deputy for the ability I have to display locations in multiple ways and sort the view of my schedule to meet my needs.
I haven't used any other product except manual word documents. Obviously using Deputy has had a huge impact on the efficiency of my administrative tasks such as timesheets rosters and payroll.
Deputy is a lot cheaper and more convenient than TSheets, at least in my experience. I paid almost nothing for Deputy ($80/year), but Tsheets would have been $1000/year for my group. Functionally, they are very similar from what I could tell. I wouldn't go with Tsheets over …
Deputy is less clunky than Clockify and offers more advanced integration options. I also can't stress enough how nice it is to have something just mounted to the wall running Deputy that can be on 24/7 and after five years not have some sort of breakdown.
We started with a different service on the limited free version and quickly needed to add features to better track and manage payroll and scheduling. Deputy was more cost effective with more control and features that we could customize for our needs.
Feature and functionality wise they are very similar. I liked the UI for both platforms. The main reason we ended up choosing Deputy is because of their good pricing, Deputy was significantly less costly, thus we are getting more value. The other reason was that I liked the …
We only had When I Work for employees to enter their hours. The functions of Deputy is way better and all employees think that it is much easier to use. It is now a year since we changed to Deputy, so I don't know if the other app has improved, but at the time Deputy was …
[My own feeling on the subject is] that large teams will probably enjoy the features much more than a smaller team. [In my opinion] I would not have signed up with Deputy had it not been for the integration with my payroll provider. [From my point of view] the cost is not worth it for a small team. [I've found] it has a lot of features geared towards big teams and those are not things you can "opt-out" of from a cost/tier standpoint [as far as I'm concerned].
The basic functionality and overall efficiency it provides is enough to renew. I still would like to see improvements in reporting and leave management, but overall it is absolutely worth it to have the program. I especially like having remote access and supervisors scheduling and approving time sheets of employees
Deputy is user-friendly and easy to understand for users with basic to moderate computer knowledge. The Employee is simple and easy for employees to understand. Employees get push notifications when shifts are scheduled and can clock in and out easily directly from the phone or kiosk, or using the website. The only challenge we’ve had is the ability for management to assign leave to employees who have not yet requested time off.
Every time I have contacted support they have answered my question within the hour and solved every problem we have had. They follow up to make sure we are satisfied with our results which has been great when we are busy and get distracted
It took me a bit to get all my staff input from our previous scheduling software. However, once all the information was there, everything went smoothly and we were able to start implementing Deputy right away. It did not take long to train my staff and have them comfortable with using the system.
For years we used TimeTrax systems but they were hard to use and required manual downloads of punches, networked setups, and we needed separate setups for each location. When evaluating cloud-based solutions we first tried TSheets, but the higher cost and lack of features made us choose Deputy. Our main complaint about the actual TSheets system was the IPads did not store punches when it first launched so if you lost internet it couldn't store the punches. When we were evaluating the system they were building a police station next door that resulted in intermittent internet outages and the kiosk app basically became a brick until the internet came back on.
We have gone from using deputy simply to schedule a couple of members of staff on coffee shop shifts, to also scheduling staff in the retail unit part of our business, to now also scheduling team days and having remote working staff start on schedule shifts to track their working hours.
Hundreds of man-hours saved monthly that previously was spent on recording hours work.
Holiday management is very clear and support fair treatment of staff.
The 100% accuracy of timesheets is amazing. Once approved thousands of timesheets just land in our payroll system thanks to the export/import functions.
