Simplicity!

  • Pushes schedules to employees calendars to remedy missed shift/s excuses.
  • Dashboard and tabs are seamless to learn and work with.
  • Exporting time sheets is simple and expedites payroll via Excel or CSV.
  • The App is really easy to use.
Cons
  • I would say that if timesheets exported to a Deputy driven format that did not require calculations/sums etc, no extra work, that would shave quite a bit of time off the process.
  • The Reports center is a format that is really complicated and unhelpful for data. Mainly the Report Builder.

Put Deputy in charge. Simple to use and allows visibility for the whole team.

  • Ease of use, very user friendly.
  • Templates make weekly rota's very quick.
  • Logging absence and keeping a record.
  • Clocking in and out is very easy for employees and they can clearly see their hours worked.
Cons
  • Leave balance is tricky sometimes, if my holiday year runs from 1st Feb to 31st Jan there could do with a way to set a date that the balance goes up to. For example you can see an amount of holidays you have left then any scheduled holidays and then a balance but if you add in leave for after the holiday year ends then it still comes off the balance and gives an inaccurate balance as days would reset before this and a new holiday year starts so if, in December, you book a few leave dates in for April it looks like you go into minus holidays but actually they reset on 1st Feb and so makes it hard, without calculating manually, how many days you have left of that particular holiday year.
  • Setting notifications could be made simpler, I have given up going into each location and setting the notifications as they confuse me.
  • The communications news feed board is quite good but more often than not the employees would not get a notification and miss a message.

  • Scheduling.
  • Timesheets.
  • Tracking staff logins.
Cons
  • Entering sales & forecasts manually if not using a supported POS.
  • Reporting is lacking it would be good to see total costs currently it split between salary & hourly also to be able to check on how much tax/super/leave is being spent each week.

Easy scheduling and time-tracking
