We use Deputy for our field technicians to clock in and out. We were using paper time sheets, but they weren't always completed accurately. They were lost or forgotten. There are days that our techs don't return to our location at the end of the day, and Deputy gives them the ability to clock out in other locations while still giving us visibility as to where they clocked out for the day.
  • Data transfer to payroll program.
  • Ease of use.
Cons
  • Manually adding time sheets can be time consuming.
  • Editing employees.
I think Deputy is well suited for just about any business setting.

It mainly helps us to keep a track of all the hours of the employees, laws related to the rest and meal breaks. This is being used by the customer experience department of the company. Which we use a metric to know how many hours we took to actually use for completion [of] our fulfillment task.
  • Timesheet.
  • Laws.
  • Breaks.
Cons
  • Exporting Timesheet data weekly by itself.
It is well suited for a mid-size company. Too much manual work to schedule shifts sometimes if it has a lot of employees. Using all the features in one would help a company. As we use just the scheduling it does take a little more time than usual to understand. The app is [easier] to use.

We use Deputy in the Field Marketing Department to schedule field agents, clock them in and out of shifts and create time cards for payroll.
  • Ease of scheduling.
  • Calculating timesheets for payroll.
  • Time in /time out tracking of field agents.
Cons
  • Easier to copy/duplicate shifts.
Allows a small portion of a larger team to be able to schedule, track and calculate field time.

We use Deputy across the whole organisation. It has solved the issue of having to locate where contractors are working and reaching them.
  • Clocking in and out.
  • Schedule use on mobile.
  • Maintain staff contact details.
  • Maintain past employees.
  • Contact tracing.
Cons
  • Don't be all about the money, we have about 90 contractors so when we get told we have to pay a horrific amount to get the online schedule it's not good. This is why I keep my options open, we have 2 sites with 30 contractors on a different app as it doesn't cost us for the online schedule. That's 30 that Deputy doesn't get paid for. The schedule on the desktop should be free.
  • When someone accidentally creates an identical user we get charged 2 times. Should have a way to error if the name is identical rather than just the email.
Deputy for us is only good for mobile users and on one site we use a tablet. It's good in the basic tasks. The minute you need any additional module it's too expensive. For just clock in and out it's ok.

We're a independent restaurant & here's our review of using Deputy service since 2018 & currently use it

We use Deputy across our entire company. All employees receive their Deputy link as first step in employment orientation; and all employees use Deputy daily at work. The 2 main purposes we use Deputy is for clock-in and -out; and scheduling all shifts across each station (bartenders, customer service, fry cook, grill cook, prep cook, dish, bicycle delivery). For employees, having their schedule in real-time on their mobile with ability to message one another and swap shifts is a big help. As owner, the clock in and clock out function, and how we can export it directly into our ADP payroll processing is the biggest help for me. Most of my employees are students, have a second job, or child care needs. So the "unavailability" and "leave" function helps me keep up with each person's unique schedule needs so I can best accommodate.
  • Adding a new employee, via mobile or desktop, is simple and quick.
  • Publishing the schedule or schedule changes via desktop is very helpful. I like the notification options, copy to next weeks options, publish only changes or all shifts options, and bulk delete/update options.
  • The clock-in & -out details are very helpful. Requiring a photo or location (if using mobile clock-in) and the data logs of who approved a timesheet or edited it is all so helpful for our leadership team so we can keep always have transparency, accountability, and clarity in dealing with time worked for both employees and owners.
  • Real-time seeing who is clocked in (via mobile or desktop) is a great feature.
Cons
  • A calendar function please connected to the schedule! A functionality for folks to see if that day & the coming weeks includes a catering, ball game, event, graduation, show or other community event that will impact our business level and parking/traffic situation. That way, they'd understand why the schedule and staffing is setup as such and can prepare for the shift accordingly.
  • Please mobile functionality to delete a shift or edit the person working an upcoming shift.
  • Please a mobile functionality to direct message all those clocked-in at the time. And to message those that are upcoming scheduled that day.
  • Document holding area. We'd love to post PDFs of employee manual, training guides, and health department and licensing documents to a Deputy spot that employees can access anytime w/o having to filter through the News Feed.
We're a restaurant and recommend using Deputy for making the schedule, timesheet recorder, and connect to your payroll servicer. This allows for transparency, accountability, records, and clarity in time worked for both the employee and company. Employees can message one another, pick up shifts & swap shifts, and get their schedules in real-time using the app. Employees can submit their "leave" and "unavailability" so it helps the leadership team effectively manage and best accommodate all employees' schedule needs. The leadership team can see who is clocked-in in real-time and who is upcoming scheduled for the day. Push notifications for the news feed messages and schedule publication help us all stay current, which is so helpful for the day-to-day operations in a restaurant.
