Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Deputy for shift scheduling, PTO tracking, Leave Management, and Timesheet Approval for Payroll.

Pros and Cons

The scheduling module is well designed, allowing open and fill shifts with ease, and [the] option of approval for open shift pick up is great.
Leave management is a great feature. We can do PTO and Leave Management in one software now.

When it comes to timesheet export, the overtime rule is not flexible enough. We have to do [an] extra manual data process before [entering] it [into] our payroll software.

Return on Investment

Time save for scheduling, estimated to be 8 hrs per week

Alternatives Considered

I am not quite sure about this. I did not get to use when to work a lot.

Key Insights

Do you think Deputy delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Deputy's feature set?

Yes

Did Deputy live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Deputy go as expected?

Would you buy Deputy again?

Yes

Deputy does a very good job at scheduling functions, which is the most important function for my business. The added leave manage features [have] been constantly improved which is encouraging. I am hoping to see more flexibility or rules available for overtime calculation so it can further save me some time on payroll processing.

Implementation Rating

Yes, the overtime rules [are] very limited now. The 8-80 overtime rule is not available. Many [industries], especially healthcare, run on [a] 14-day pay period. [An] overtime rule based on [a] 14-day period is much needed.
