Deputy

I use deputy as an employee in order to clock in and out of classes that I teach. It is what our manager uses to schedule us. We can offer shifts up and or put in vacation requests. It keeps us all on the same page and helps our manager with pay roll!

We use Deputy for rostering our administrative and nursing staff, and specialists.

Deputy is used by 3 key managers. Allows the managers to create shifts and view employees attendance, punctuality, and run reports to analyze paid time off. Unlike ADP's time keeping module, we do not enter pay rates in Deputy in order for these managers to use the system without having access to certain confidential information.

Deputy runs our weekly schedule and day-to-day tasks for us. I create the rosters usually a month in advance and staff can confirm each shift. Staff can enter in their own unavailability which helps with my scheduling and it's easy for them to find their own replacement if they're unable to make a shift.

We use Deputy to simplify timesheet management. Started using it about two years ago when I first needed to hire people. I spent a few weeks evaluating other solutions and found Deputy to be the easiest to implement and use. It integrates with Xero, has self-service features, and doesn't cost too much. There are occasional bugs with shifts left open and syncing data to Xero, but the support has been responsive.

We use it by 24 employees for scheduling in our cafe/restaurant business. Allows us to record time & attendance accurately and easily. We then use it for reporting on our wage costs and integrate this with Xero.

We use Deputy to plan the shifts for our 3 locations. It helps us to use 1 simple software product to send out the shifts to all of our employees. No need to change programs or accounts, we can see all locations in 1 screen. The employees can pick up open shifts and request leaves on their own. While on shift, the employees use Deputy to clock in and clock out. Most employees use the app on their smartphone, which makes it easy for them to use most of the features. It helps that they don't have to ask questions to us about scheduling anymore. We also use the message board inside Deputy to send out messages to specific teams. While this option is a bit limited, it is a good way to send messages from time to time. At the end of the month we make a simple export of all the hours worked and send it to our administration. We can adjust hours and breaks inside Deputy in a few clicks, so we are always sure all the hours arre correct. This saves a lot of time for us.

We use deputy to staff all of our staff for several different locations throughout the city.

I use Deputy to manage schedules, leave requests, and sick time for a team of 6. There is only 1 location and no departments. This scheduler allowed me to automate the scheduling process for staffing a public library. Previously I used an excel file and printed sheets to share the schedule, I wanted an app-based solution that would sync with a calendar.

It is being used across 3 organizations we have. It addresses time clock management and where employees are clocking in.

Before Deputy, we used paper timesheets. This was a cumbersome process as our employees would forget to fill them in or hand in their timesheets altogether. We started using Deputy to streamline our timesheet process as well as reduce paper waste and we haven't looked back. Our employees downloaded the app onto their smartphones and are able to record their times with the information available to me immediately. Deputy integrates seamlessly with Xero and the payroll process time has reduced significantly with the use of Deputy. Deputy has many features. We don't use them all as we are a small business but can see how they can benefit businesses of any size in any industry.

Our organization uses Deputy to track hours and scheduling. It is a convenient way to track hours. Our managers have a simple time approving pay sheets. previously, we were using pay to track hours and it was an absolute nightmare. This is far and above better than what we did previously.

Deputy is used across all of our organization, and it is managed by about half of it. It helps us track and verify employee times effortlessly and makes prepping for payroll much easier. It takes the hassle out of ensuring accurate pay to employees while giving us peace of mind that our employees are able to be held accountable.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

I use Deputy for weekly rosters and the use of daily timesheets, also have log-out questions to find out if there are any incidents that need to be reported. Timesheets are then [exported] to our payroll. I also use the reports to work out my HR cost to stick with my budget. I use the message board to communicate important documents and it allows me to confirm my staff [has] read them. I can also update rosters and approve timesheets from the app on my phone.

We started using Deputy in a single location retail environment and expanded it to a second location after a merger. Prior to Deputy, we used a mix of Excel and paper-based systems to schedule employees, track time-off requests and shift changes. Our business has seasonal fluctuations in employment levels so paper-based is easier when your headcount is low. During the busy season when employment was up, scheduling-related headaches also went up. Deputy was a good way to bring some sanity back to our scheduling.

Used for scheduling and time cards for employees. Schedules are posted weekly, pay periods end on the 15th and EOM. Each crew member can work various jobs at multiple locations. I need to see what hours the employee is working across all locations. Need it easy for employees to put in requested time off, see their schedule and break times, and log in and out at the location. Deputy is OK for most of this but is weak/fails on various tasks.

We use Deputy to manage multi-location teams to record hours and locations worked. We also use Deputy to schedule shifts for self-employed teams where each individual's pay is linked to multiple areas they work at. The exports of timesheets are then used to import monthly payment amounts into a payroll system. The whole process is error-free and it takes minutes to process every month.

I provide first aid for special events so the number of staff I need varies greatly. I used to do my scheduling by email and keep track of the shifts in a spreadsheet but was constantly making mistakes when my number of events per day volume increased. I love the fact that I can have people request shifts and then I can assign who I want to work each shift. This was the main selling point for me. I also really like that I only get charged for the shifts I schedule. There are several weeks (and even months in the winter) where I don't have any events and so to have to pay other sites just have my staff in their database when I have no income was not an option for me.

We use Deputy for shift scheduling, PTO tracking, Leave Management, and Timesheet Approval for Payroll.
