Overall Satisfaction with Deputy

We use Deputy mainly for rostering as we were manually creating rosters in excel, we found it difficult and [time-consuming] to continue this as our team grew. It has solved our onboarding process as well making it far easier to set up new staff within deputy and also directly [transfer] to Xero.

  • Automation of pays

  • Time saved each week 3 hours[.]

Again need better interaction with Xero[.]
I was told that deputy and Xero would interact and that I could do automated payslips and that’s true but they don’t [separate weekdays] and weekends which attract different pay grades. When trying to troubleshoot there has never been a solution.
Fantastic for rostering and planning shifts. It is easy to save shift templates for different scenarios and this makes it so easy. It also puts [the] onus back on staff to manage their shifts instead of management. The onboarding process is really simple too, this has saved time making it automated instead of manually being triggered. One of the frustrations with [the] deputy is the timesheets interaction with Xero. We still have to manually create payslips in [Xero] because [the] deputy can’t [separate] different day/pay grades causing issues with net pays.
