Overall Satisfaction with Deputy
My company uses Deputy as our primary timeclock and scheduler interface. Since we implemented it, we have seen a vast improvement in timeclock accuracy amongst employees. Employees have online access to their schedule and any changes, and can review their own timesheets throughout the week. Making corrections to timesheets for payroll used to be a two hour process as the payroll administrator would have to track people down to fix missed punches. Now it works the other way around, with employees notifying the payroll admin of any issues, and payroll takes about 10 minutes. The report functionality of Deputy is also enormously valuable, as we are able to see a direct comparison between labor spending and sales with the POS integration. Before we would have had to export the necessary data to manually create our own report.
- Scheduling.
- Timesheets.
- Labor cost tracking.
- Sharing information with employees.
- Giving employees more control and responsibility.
- More HR integration.
- More user levels between Supervisor and Location Manager/Sys Admin.
- Less clunky user interface on the Kiosk screen.
- Time saved on creating schedule.
- Time saved on processing payroll.
- Time saved on reviewing reports to figure out labor cost.
- Greater accuracy on labor cost reporting.
- Real-time and forecasted leave balances.
For an equivalent cost, Deputy blows TimeClock Plus out of the water. I have never used a version of TimeClock Plus that didn't seem like a shiny holdover from Windows XP, and there were always so many limitations on how the program could be used between multiple users. Deputy feels like the TimeClock solution from this century.
