Deputy Reviews & Product Details

I like how simple the interface is for not only the admin / managers but also for the users, the employees. Not only are the employees able to put their time-off requests in Deputy, but they're also able to view their weekly timecards as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Given the amount of employees that we have nationwide, it would've been great if the system was able to recognize the different states that the employees were in and that we would be able to assign managers per employees rather than create locations. We have over 20 locations in our system because we have managers that oversee different timezones, one that has every timezone, so he has multiple locations that he has to view. Because the Gusto integration seem to have issues though, we have to manually set-up accounts which is preferred as previously, it would automatically send invitations to personal emails that were in Gusto even when they haven't fully started. The downside also is that employees aren't able to see their time-off request balance and so they often put in requests when they have 0 hours pending for usage.

I use Deputy to see my upcoming shifts, monitor my pay, and check my timesheets. I appreciate the accessibility because I can view my work-related information whenever and wherever I like. I like that I can be signed up to many businesses and employers in the one app. The layout is very clear! I am employed by multiple businesses and Deputy allows me to seamlessly view upcoming shifts and work-related information without having multiple apps downloaded. The app layout is clear and easy to navigate with no issues. The initial setup was seamless. My boss sent me a link and I created the account by entering my details and then signed my contract. I love that everything is in the one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe when signing in and out of a shift to have a function from the iPhone Lock Screen instead of opening the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deputy is very easy to use and makes workforce management much more efficient. Scheduling, shift management, and attendance tracking are straightforward, which saves a lot of manual effort. The real-time updates and notifications help keep everyone aligned, and the overall interface is clean and intuitive. It has significantly reduced scheduling errors and improved team coordination.

Some advanced features and reports could be more customizable, especially for larger or more complex teams. Occasionally, the mobile app can feel a bit slow, and certain integrations could be smoother. Pricing can also feel slightly high as the team size grows, but the functionality generally justifies the cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Deputy pretty simple and straightforward to set up, which made my initial experience quite hassle-free. I appreciate that all they required was basic information like my email and password setup, which allowed me to access it via my mobile device conveniently, making it much easier to manage my shifts on the go without needing to log in from a laptop. Additionally, I think Deputy's functionality of ensuring that I'm within the building when clocking in and out is beneficial. I also find the review feature particularly helpful, as it allows me to share my feelings after a shift, providing managers with valuable insights into the team's morale and workload. Overall, I've found it quite easy to use with minimal issues, which enhances its efficiency in fulfilling its role for my needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike the issue with forgetting to clock out after my shift when far away from the building , which forces me to ask a colleague to log in during their night shift to correct it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deputy has provided an outstanding experience from day one. The interface is clean, intuitive, and extremely easy to learn, which made the transition seamless. I love having access to scheduling, shift swaps, timesheets, availability, and messaging all in one convenient place. Being able to manage everything from my phone — no matter where I am — has made the entire process faster and far more efficient.

What stands out most is how well all the features work together. Notifications are instant, updates are clear, and I always know exactly what’s happening with my schedule. It saves me time, eliminates miscommunication, and keeps everyone on the same page. I’m genuinely impressed with this app and would highly recommend Deputy to any business or organization looking to simplify scheduling and improve team communication.

Some features take a little exploration to fully learn, especially for new users or teams that don’t use scheduling apps often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I appreciate most about Deputy is its simplicity. The platform is extremely intuitive, making it easy to navigate schedules, tasks, and updates without any confusion or wasted time.

I also value the regular updates and notifications, which keep me informed about any schedule changes, shift updates, or new assignments in real time. It’s reassuring to know I’m always up to date.

The organization of calendars and assigned staff is another standout feature. Everything is clearly laid out, who’s working, what shifts are covered, and what tasks are assigned, so there’s no guesswork. It keeps everyone on the same page and ensures smooth team coordination.

I love how task management is integrated directly into the platform. Whether it’s a shift-specific task or an ongoing responsibility, I can easily track what’s been completed and what still needs attention.

The time-off feature is incredibly simple to use. Requesting, viewing, and confirming time off is quick and seamless—something that saves a lot of hassle and back-and-forth communication - which is AMAZING!

Having used Dayforce for another job, there’s really no comparison in terms of ease and accessibility. Deputy is far more user-friendly, organized, and efficient.

Truly, hands down, Deputy is the preferred system, and I would highly recommend it to any team or organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No direct integration with payroll or HR systems, since Deputy doesn’t sync with Paycom, it requires extra steps to make sure hours and pay align — not a dealbreaker, just one added layer of work. To further explain my dislike of the dual-system inconvenience, it can be a little frustrating having to use both Paycom and Deputy since the two systems don’t sync. It would be ideal if time, scheduling, and payroll were all integrated in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way Deputy is organized and set up for work-related tasks. Its features stand out, particularly how you can easily clock in and clock out with no issues. I also appreciate having the chance to adjust the time if I mistakenly pass my break time. Additionally, their customer service is helpful in fixing issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that it malfunctions and slows down. When logging into the app, it seems slower compared to using the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has seamless integration with payroll platforms and other HR systems which promotes to great workflow automation thus reduces manual data entry which is error prone and time consuming.

It supports mobile phone application which helps employees self-service hence maintains a great workflow as they can access the tool on the go for scheduling and other services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is cloud based hence highly depends on sufficient internet which causes downtime in remote area where network is not sufficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deputy is easy to use for managing my clock in and clock out times as well as tracking all timesheets and helping me prepare for my day by listing who I will be working with and when. I love that I have access to it on my phone for quick use everyday, so I can get to work as soon as I walk in the door. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no complaints. Deputy makes it super easy and straightforward to navigate without being overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Deputy for work purposes. It's very simple to use and user-friendly, which makes it easy to keep track of my timesheets, clock in and clock out, and approve my staff's rosters, leave, and timesheets. The simple but elegant interface and ease of access are definitely strong points. I use the clock in and clock out feature the most, and the initial setup was very easy for me.

I would like to see a feature that allows me to add my hourly rate so I can track how much I earn per shift, both before and after tax. It would be useful to have a total figure to see if I exceed the government tax threshold. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
