News Feeds need to work better

Scheduling, payroll and communication. I need the news feeds to be sent out as a text message. The app and push notification is not working well with the staff. I need 100% of them reading it.
  • Scheduling.
Cons
  • News feed.
[In my opinion], news feeds are not as effective as they should be. I have about 80 employees and on average 40 of them confirm they've seen messages from Deputy. I have repeatedly asked Deputy to use push notifications and stay on top of the app. They still haven't done this. Everyone sees a text message. Deputy has the technology because the schedule comes out via text. It would be great if Deputy could change this...

We use Deputy for scheduling, looking at the trends in our Business needs, and confirming payroll.
  • Creating schedules
  • Effective clock in by geo-location
  • User friendly and easy to navigate
Cons
  • Improve location information to provide addresses of the locations
  • Allow downloads of the people with their information on a spreadsheet
  • Instead of push notifications have proper notifications that start in the app, reminders to clock in, etc
Deputy makes schedule creation easier and allows for easier communication with the team. It is just friendly which has enabled our staff to learn about the available shifts and assign themselves for them.

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.
  • Time tracking
  • Scheduling
  • Mobile app
  • Labor law compliance
Cons
  • Not easy for management to assign PTO hours without first having employees request time off
Deputy [is] well suited for time tracking in a small business. If you are a small and growing business that wants software that can scale with your business, then Deputy is a great solution to use. Deputy works well within the fitness industry, where employees can be classified based on job role, location, and pay grade. If you are a solo entrepreneur without employees, then Deputy might not be suited for you.

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.
  • Scheduling employees in different areas
  • Mobile app for employee communication
  • Time tracker
Cons
  • Allow for more HR content to be managed at onboarding
  • Notifications are spotty, don't always get push notifications on my phone
Deputy is perfect for a part-time workforce when managing younger employees. The mobile app is extremely user-friendly and allows for staff to communicate with each other and develop a sense of community without being bombarded with messages that may not be relevant to them. Scheduling is very easy with templates and auto-fill as long as you have your employee training and availability up to date.

We use Deputy to manage all our coaches, rosters. and payroll. Deputy helps me plan months into the future, and with the added benefits of shift push notifications, I know that our coaches will always have a friendly reminder that they have a shift coming up soon.
  • Payroll integration.
  • Future roster planning.
  • Department/area roster planning.
Cons
  • The ability to auto approve shifts even when our coaches don't "Check In."
Deputy is an integral part of our business. We have been using Deputy for several years without fail. Deputy allows me to easily plan and schedule our coaches' rosters across many different areas of our business. Integrating Deputy with Xero makes payroll crazy easy. I normally do our payroll each week in about 10mins.

I would definitely recommend Deputy to others. It's awesome especially for small businesses like ours.
