Deputy Reviews

It is a platform with multiple very nice functions for my work that benefit me in monitoring and planning, its system is very easy to use and that has allowed me to have a more professional development in my area by presenting projects in the estimated times with on-time monitoring real where I can have control of the evolution and update. and also helps me with the coordination of schedules, shifts and total hours worked

It has been completely to my liking and there are no bad dislikes or bad flaws, I like everything and I feel happy using it

Deputy makes communication, scheduling, payroll budgeting, and so much more wicked easy! The mobile app and website allow for there to be no communication, and everyone has access anytime they need or want.
Leave management is also a lot easier!

Sometimes the leave accrual can be a little difficult to set up properly, requiring some reconciliation between our payroll provider and it's figures. I wish they had a working integration with Paychex that didn't require paying Paychex.
Some staff have difficulty receiving push notifications, but there are also texts and email notification, and the interface can be a little confusing for first time users.
The automations for scheduling are difficult to set up and usually don't work with complex scheduling requirements.

The news feed feature in deputy is very helpful and this is an innovative idea for a time tracking app.

There are a lot of bugs in the app.
1. In the ‘people’ section, not everyone in the organisation shows up. There is no filter there, just randomly some of the staff doesn’t show up in the list.
2. It some times calculates the time of the shift incorrectly.

I recently had a problem and deputy staff assisted until the problem was solved.

I felt the problem should have been easier to solve.
Additionally, I am on an annual plan and don’t think opening an archived employee to review history should could as an additional user for that month.

I find it a very useful platform where you can see the scheduled shifts and work schedules where you can have a perfect organization of time in the teams having the adequate control for the programming and assistance. The schedule can be viewed a month in advance and it also satisfies me to be able to organize myself in my other tasks and not cross times with my work

I like it and I find it useful, nothing has failed me since its installation

It's super easy to pick up shifts, offer shifts, an see who is working. Very intuitive and easy to use.

Honestly, nothing I don't like. Maybe a few minor features to add such as being able to message coworkers, but overall no complaints.

What I liked most about Deputy was the ability to clock in and out easily. It was also helpful that I was able to check my previous timesheets

What I liked least about Deputy was that it wouldn't let me clock into work anymore than 5 minutes before my shift.

you can chat, schedule, and company blast if you need to

when some people dont respond and or the app may just simply need to be updated for bugs

Time management for shift, news feed for internal communications and ease of shift set ups. Easy to use phone app for leaders and team members.

Integration with other tools , need to manually cancel shift to not accrue points

What I liked most about Deputy is the way that you were able to pick up shifts. It made it very easy to see what was available, and sign up!

There was nothing that stood out to me as excessively bad about Deputy.

Easy to use and mobile friendly, great application for scheduling

Missing a help feature that is easy to navigate

SCHEDULING AND TIME TRACKING. REPORTS THAT INCLUDE LATE PUNCHES AND EARLY OUTS

THE CONFUSION OF UNAVAILABILITY VS LEAVE

There are different view options of the schedule, so can be switched according to one's needs. The exportable reports are a nice feature, as these need to be viewed and stored by other people with no access to the tool. Shifts are clearly separated, so that any gaps can be filled in.

No place in the person's shift itself to mark the night working hours.

All the steps look very straightforward and easily to handle.

Not much assistance after becoming a client

Staff scheduling is by far the hardest job in the company but deputy makes it a lot easier. The ability to copy weekly shifts, add and remove staff easily is great. Staff find it very easy to use, even those that aren't tech savvy.

There is no ability to set staff as sick from your mobile device. This is really frustrating when you are on-call and out and about.

Ease of use with a growing workforce, saves managers time and the business money

There is nothing really that we don't like. It is so easy and practical

In my view, Deputy has an easy-to-use interface that simplifies the process of creating and managing schedules, and I especially highlight the mobile app, which allows our employees to access their schedules and clock in easily. I think Deputy is a solid tool for workforce management, especially for companies that focus on scheduling and timekeeping.

Some users may find the pricing to be on the higher side, especially for larger teams or businesses with complex scheduling requirements.

The ease of use and the user friendly interface for start is good for a small business that has one person doing multiple roles. Having a mobile app that can be used across most mobile devices makes it a very efficient tool for communication with staff and also a perfect system for timesheet signing. The added bonus is the geolocator for enabling shift work at multiple destinations to only be able to clock in close to the designated place of work.

Timesheet approval function on the mobile app needs improvement

I have been using Deputy for about a year and half and it has made scheduling for my team so much easier! I used to have a huge issue with team members clocking in too early but I was able to use a feature that won't allow anyone to clock in more than 5 minutes before the start of their shift. I also love that it sync's with our payroll processing company.

The one feature that I wish could be added is that we have weeklong summer sessions where people are able to pick up the shifts of their choosing. I always have to remind my team that they need to pick up all 5 days of the shifts. I wish I was able to somehow link the shifts together and they only had to pick up the grouped shift as opposed to 5 individual shifts. But that's probably a feature that's specific to our company and I don't really see a lot of other companies needing a feature like that. Other than that, I really do love using Deputy.

Easy user friendly All record of leaves is avalible to choose from.Everything on one click

Use friendly Easy features tonunderstandReports generation

Tracking and planning Rotas at work to help plan ahead for the months and getting budgets under control

That once done a week you can’t go back and change anything

Big improvement on using a annual system

Sometimes it just doesn't work which may be updates happening. It is also a very simple tool which is both positive and negative

Ease of use and excellent scheduling and timeclock function

Extra cost for onboarding employees on top of license fee
