Overall Satisfaction with Deputy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for one arm of the organisation (our café), which has 5 employees. It helps with making sure employees are being paid the correct award rate, write comments for particular shifts and also convenience that each employee has the app on their phone so can clock on and off when they are on shift.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Timesheets.
Awards rates.
Scheduling.

Cons

Journaling - can't add journals to that particular timesheet once approved (though can add it to the employee's profile).
Reports - would be good to see who worked when hovering on the graph.

Return on Investment

Time saved - ability to sync well with other systems e.g. Xero.
Cost effective - affordable, especially for small businesses (from memory, we receive a discount too as a NFP).
Payroll accuracy - ability to sync with Xero and being able to talk to one another with hours, pay rates, etc.

Alternatives Considered

I haven't really explored other products. I read reviews on a chat forum who are in the same industry and there were many recommendations for Deputy so after doing some research and trialing Deputy I decided to go ahead with it and have been happy with it since!
