Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Deputy across the whole business, both at our company premises and for staff doing work from home; we schedule staff for shifts, and it's handy that staff can add in their unavailability. [We also use it for] exporting to MYOB for ease of payroll administration. I can also use the newsfeed section and get staff to sign off to say they have read and understood new policies, notices, and procedures in our business.

Pros and Cons

Scheduling.
Payroll management.
Notifications to staff.

[It] would be handy to set up standard hours for particular employees, not just at the company level.

Return on Investment

It is so much quicker and [more] efficient than paper timesheets.
