Overall Satisfaction with Deputy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use deputy as an employee in order to clock in and out of classes that I teach. It is what our manager uses to schedule us. We can offer shifts up and or put in vacation requests. It keeps us all on the same page and helps our manager with pay roll!

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to use
Quick to learn
Plenty of reminders

Cons

You used to be able to quite easily go back in and change your time but now that does not work the same. If I miss a shift I have to clock a different one. I used to be able to start the shift I forgot to sign in for and then adjust the time
Reminders for longer than an hour in advance
an integration with apple calendar!

Return on Investment

People still forget or arrive late to work...this should solve that, but it doesn't lol
payroll is very accurate as you have exact times and shifts
assigning work to be done for the month is very easy with this

Usability

It's updated multiple times but it's so simple a monkey could learn it, so I've never had trouble using it as an employee. I can't speak from the manager's side of things when assigning hours, etc. Doesn't seem very hard to learn though

Implementation Rating

I was not involved in this!

Other Software Used

Slack

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for shift work and for scheduling employees who get paid by the hour. Not great for people who don't necessarily need to clock in, those who just need to get the work done.

Well suited for a small to moderate sized business. It takes time though so it should be an employee's job to take care of it, not someone higher up or the owner persay.
