Deputy

We use Deputy to track all of our retail store employee hours, and then import that over to Gusto for our payroll. It works really well, and we haven't had any software issues. We tried a phone app before Deputy. However, the problem we ran into was that after phone updates it didn't auto-launch, or an employee might forget their phone, etc. So, having Deputy run on a tablet that they can check into every shift was the far easier method. The ability for it to intergrade with Gusto was also a plus!

We use deputy for the following Creating employee schedules & shifts Employees clocking in & clocking out for shifts [management] of employee [time-off] requests Managing & approving employee timesheets Importing employee timesheets into our payroll system in order to process payroll[.]

Deputy allows us to have a concise scheduling program that flows between all areas of our brewery. Whether production or front of house it affords my employees to manage their time and see their schedules in advance. The ability to geotrack logins allows the management team to see that offsite events are being attended by the right people who have been scheduled.

We set up an off-shore team comprising our customer service team and other departments. We needed a platform to manage the scheduling (Workforce management) and leave balances of our entire off-shore team. We currently use a deputy to manage this. Our teams’ schedules change on a monthly basis and the deputy makes it easy for us to create rosters in advance and track who starts when, who is late, and who is on leave.

We use deputy to make rosters and record the working hours of our staff. We also use it for reporting purposes to assess out total labor costs for each month.

The main reason why we use Deputy is to track the hours our employees work to specific job sites. With this product, we can schedule employees and also have them manually enter timesheets. We also use Deputy to create different types of reports, and you can modify the reports for your needs. Deputy also makes it easy for us to onboard new employees online, which saves a lot of time for us and the employees.

I am working in an accounting firm and Palisade is one of our clients. Deputy is not directly used by our firm but by Palisade Hotel. I introduced and implemented Deputy to Palisade Hotel 4-5 years ago and since then Hotel start managing their staff very effectively and managers are top of the employees' timesheet and rostered hours. We can now, track their time very easy, estimate future weeks salary cost and prepare very accurate payroll reports.

Deputy is being used to track employee shift start and end times as well as breaks. It has conveniently been set up on a wall-mounted tablet, which also enables it to capture a picture when accessed. This prevents employees clocking in or out for other people. Managers are also able to easily publish schedules and access or edit timesheets and record time off.

We schedule our entire staff through Deputy and use the journals as a method for recording disciplinary actions and the news feed for company communication. We have different positions, responsibilities, and skills tagged by employees. Staff can request time off for approval by management, and their annual PTO balances are tracked.

I use Deputy to easily schedule, approve time sheets and post shifts. Deputy saves time with key features such as the ability to approve multiple time sheets with one click and the ability to copy and paste shifts from using previous weeks. The News Feed feature is also a great resource to provide updates to team members.

I use Deputy for rostering and timesheets. Previously employees had to write their times down on a hardcopy timesheet. Using Deputy allows staff to access roster and timesheet from anywhere and means I do not have to store hardcopy timesheets, etc.

I use Deputy for staff scheduling and staff communications of the DTC/Hospitality department here at the winery. We do not use it company-wide and we do not use it for timecard management.

Used for rostering, updates and timesheets. Eradicates double handling, easy and efficient to use

It is being used by the whole organisation for registering their start and end shifts and as well as applying for leaves, communication between employees and management and rostering. Deputy has allowed my business to cut out on all the manual paperwork and also it stores all the records for each individual employees. Each employees can have access to their roster and can make or apply for changes anywhere and anytime through their app. So the convenient and easily access to the app has been really helpful.

We utilize Deputy as our solution to a traditional time clock system. We had issues with our previous systems not providing a robust feature set. Deputy provides a traditional "punch clock" solution alongside "web clock" solutions for our customer service and off-site staff. The overall scheduling features have been impressive, allowing us to generate disparate schedules that we can cycle between according to the staffing needs for each day.

Deputy helps keep me organized when it comes to keeping track of my employees' time and location. Its ease of use makes making adjustments seamless and easy.

We switched from OnTheClock to Deputy as we wanted deep integration with our payroll service and with our Identity Management System (Azure AD). The time-keeping features seemed good and the approval system looked good. It was all web-based which was a plus. It costs more, certainly, but if it saved me time on the payroll I was willing to pay for it. The onboarding process was fairly straightforward. You create an account as you would anywhere by filling in your company details. Deputy does have quite a few different pre-packaged locale-specific timekeeping/tracking rules. An example is the California overtime rules. I liked the break-tracking system where you can just have a checkbox where the employee attests they took their breaks as [opposed to] having to have everyone clock out for a few minutes [which] is silly and cumbersome [I think]. The approval system is cool but I [personally] don't like the fact it doesn't snap to the current pay period when you opened it. It takes you to where you were last from an approval standpoint [I've found]. There is a "next week/last week" slider but if we're using semi-monthly pay periods, as we are, then these do not align [ I believe]. [In my opinion], the software should snap to our defined pay periods when selecting next/back on the approval system. It does integrate [well] with OnPay [which is] our payroll system so there is that at least [I believe]. The hours are brought in with a click of the button. One core feature I wanted was [the ability] to use the SSO option with Azure AD, which Deputy [I believe] says it supports. I have [personally] spent months on this trying to get it to work. [The way I see it] Deputy's setup guides do not match their product's GUI [I have found] but I thought I would be able to get around it and figure out where things go. [From what I discovered] SSO would not work. I tried to get help from support and eventually I got escalated to someone [I believe] appeared to know what they were doing far more than the other people who were pretty useless [in my opinion]. [Speaking personally] I had to rope in Deputy's CEO before this happened though, via LinkedIn, as the normal channels for support were going nowhere [I believe]. Unfortunately, the issue was never resolved [to my satisfaction]. I have [personal experience with] setting up Azure AD SSO with numerous other apps we use and the process is always the same so [in my opinion] I don't feel I set it up wrong. [As far as I'm concerned] either the data provided is incorrect or Deputy's system is broken. I [personally] suspect it has to do with the fact that Deputy gives you regional servers to use and also a personalized FQDN you can use [which] I believe is related. In the end, to this day, I still do not have SSO working [to my satisfaction]. [The way I see it] Deputy loses a lot of points on my review for the way this whole experience relating to SSO not working [the way I see fit]. [As far as I'm concerned] it took way too much effort to get to someone knowledgeable [and] the issue was never resolved [to my satisfaction] even after hours of effort on my part working with support over something that normally takes about 5 minutes to set up with any other Azure AD SSO enabled app I've [used]. [In my opinion], the lack of ability to carry the ball to the finish line leaves me unhappy with what else will be left in a similar condition that might I run into payroll-wise. Overall [I found] the software itself seems capable and I think people with large teams will enjoy the scheduling elements that I don't really use. [In my experience] the costs can scale up quickly though so be careful there. [I believe] if you are someone who needs a lot of hand-holding, I would warn you that if a IT pro had this much trouble with Deputy's software then I fear you may fare far worse [in my opinion].

We use Deputy for scheduling and timesheets. Deputy integrates well with our payroll provider, OnPay. Deputy helps my team stay connected by using push notifications to notify my team members of updated shifts, complying with state labor laws by reminding employees to take their required breaks, and providing easy access for employees to clock in and out using the app on their phone.

We are an Amazon Delivery Service Partner. We use Deputy to schedule shifts for our 77 drivers and 6 dispatchers.

I use Deputy to schedule employees. They clock in using Deputy and you know their location when they clock in. They clock in using their smartphone, so there is no added expense for time clock equipment or updates. Employees are sent their schedule when the schedule is posted. The program notifies you when the employee is unavailable to work. It also alerts you when the employee is scheduled for too many hours. User friendly.

Myself and other hourly employees at our firm use Deputy to clock in and out. It also houses some basic personal information such as email, phone number, address, emergency contact person, etc. Deputy has an app for iPhone and Android users, which is convenient for those of us who like to clock in on our phones, rather than wait for our computers to turn on in the morning and navigate to the website. Deputy also has a handy little map of the office and shows you how far away you are, and how accurate the location details are. we are not currently using this feature, but I did notice that Deputy also gives you the option to request time off within their system, which is very convenient.

This [Deputy] is our daily scheduling tool. This is geared for more business use than general law enforcement but is enough for our needs. Law enforcement isn’t worried about an ROI. There are analytics present that are irrelevant for patrol scheduling. There is a chance that as a global tool for the entire organization, there is [a] benefit, but not for a smaller agency.

My business uses Deputy on a daily basis. It helps my employees to clock in, request time off, and keep track of their hours. I also write the weekly schedules on it and can check staffing expenses as I do it. I like that it allows me to input information on my staff such as contact information, pay, and job qualifications.

We use Deputy for rostering as well as [the] staffing cost analysis, as well as payroll integration into Xero[.]

We use Deputy mainly for rostering as we were manually creating rosters in excel, we found it difficult and [time-consuming] to continue this as our team grew. It has solved our onboarding process as well making it far easier to set up new staff within deputy and also directly [transfer] to Xero.
