Deputy is easy to use with a menu that makes sense. The support at Deputy has been very responsive. It was easy to implement. We are integrating with our payroll company and it's going very well. It has the features we are looking for. We have approximately 50 employees and we use and monitor the system daily.

I could not do Scheduling on a global level to limit clock in time without having to schedule each employee.

We previously used paper time cards that the employees would fill out days after the event. Deputy is giving us a much more accurate time record.

  ### 18. My business would not exist without Deputy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tom L. | Chief Operating Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 12, 2023

**What do you like best about Deputy?**

The Deputy platform is the transmission to the engine of my business.  I run a very intense and involved healthcare staffing agency with a lot of moving parts.  It is because of the detail and involvement of Deputy that my business is possible.  It is an exceptional platform...nothing else comes close.  The support is fantastic (VERY important), and the company welcomes suggestions.  I LOVE IT!

**What do you dislike about Deputy?**

To me, any company that values and takes into serious consideration any suggestions and feedback does not have cons.  This platform is customizable to my business, and the suggestions I have are minor detail. That platform works so beautifully, that I really have nothing to report.  They are an awesome organization!

**What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Deputy is solving the crucial factor of having oversight of a vast amount of employees working at different locations with a central point of communication.   Having the right person, and the right place, at the right time is essential.  And, to make sure there is no conflict (conflict management; over booking, overlap, etc.).  It also integrates nicely with our HR platform.

  ### 20. team loves to use it and saved me time & money

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** milli O. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 25, 2023

**What do you like best about Deputy?**

i wanted a system that could help me out with rostering, knowing team members were notified promptly (without having to send various emails) able to calculate staff costs for budgets,hours  and was easy to plug into cloud based systems such as Shopify etc. to get reports i had previously needed to curate on excel.

I wanted my team to have a user friendly system that clocked the hours and breaks, even reminded them of their shifts especially  if they were running late. and if there were anything they wanted to advise , could leave notes including rating their day.
best thing it's in an app which made things easier for the younger generation. 

even if you just require it for rostering, use it. it saves so much time and can notify team with one click of a button.

the small fee is worth every dollar!

**What do you dislike about Deputy?**

You require the internet for everything . so if the internet didn't work or couldn't upload properly it would be hard

**What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

money spent on rostering and budgets
ease of use for my team members especially the younger generation who don't use email frequently

Being able change or create shifts from the app while I am not near my work computer is also very easy and appreciated. The one time I reached out to customer service they assisted me quickly.

I have yet to find any downsides. Being able to delete shifts day of from the app would be a nice feature.

**What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I like the ease of use, I've never had a problem setting anything up. I also like the ability to track where employees punch in every day.

I dislike that as an administrator, im unable to effect the 'employee comment' field. For the way I use deputy, that would make things earier for job tracking.

Deputy allows me to accurately track where & when my employee's clock in. And it also allows me to track which jobs they are at and accurately track man hours per job. Which is very inportant for our payroll system.

Full control over rotas with the ability to create rules and regulations which allows for easier use. The customer support is second to none with round the clock help and remote access for the more difficult fixes. Deputy was easy to implement into the work place and replace our old out dates system, there is a large range of apps it can integrate with to further help the business. I regularly use Deputy and haven't had an issue that either I or customer support weren't able to fix promptly.

Makes rostering and budgeting hours a dream

Incorporating permanent staff into the roster could be easier

Customer support has been great anytime we had a problem. Staff use this app daily. we will be sticking with deputy.

I think for basic access like we are using shoul be priced differently. 
We would also like to be able to edit leave requests

Solving staff having to do paper based leave forms. allows them to view their roster anywhere, anytime.

Scheduling and viewing schedules are smooth and the ability for employees to swap shifts provides excellent flexibility for projects to run smoothly.

I would like the reports to be by employee number instead of names to match those in our accounting system because they are all by employee number.

Our non-profit organization uses Deputy to schedule our staff, reducing the administration time for this task. It also allows for multiple individuals to work on the schedule, reporting and payroll from different locations.

It could be a little more intuitive to use. You often have to search for what you are looking for.

There's somethings which are stronger on the phone/laptop. It would be better if they were the same.

It makes it clear to employees how much holiday they have accrued. It also takes human error out of the equation when calculating hours worked.

Can't think of any!  It has all the features we need

No more manually putting hours into payroll.  A honest way to keep track of employees clock in and out times (previously we just got them to write it down).  Being able to make templates for rostering and copy and pasting from different weeks.

**Reviewed by:** Thomas B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2023

**What do you like best about Deputy?**

The scheduling features are the best and the ability to send notes to everybody and be able to see your schedule in advance. It's so good.

**What do you dislike about Deputy?**

I don't see anything that is least helpful about this app. It does everything and it has been well thawed out and works well for our company.

I love that let me know where everybody is and I'm able to see who's working where and for how long and everyone's able to send notes to us so we know what issues may arise

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Janae B. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2023

**What do you like best about Deputy?**

I love all the capabilities Deputy has and the user interface. Most other scheduling platforms don't have nearly as many as the details and features that Deputy does. It's nice to be able to keep everything related to scheduling and payroll in the same platform and also be able to export and/or upload documents with little hassle if any.

**What do you dislike about Deputy?**

I've been using Deputy for years. The only downside is that they used to have a live customer support chat which the don't have anymore.

Scheduling, Payroll, and Time & Attendance.

I love how easy it is to schedule shifts and communicate with my team. I have no dislike.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Liz K. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2023

**What do you like best about Deputy?**

When we started using deputy we had very few employees. Deputy was cost effective, and easy to set up and use. Now our team has grown and we use a lot more of the features.

**What do you dislike about Deputy?**

I haven't found a great way to set up daily tasks associated to a certain position in deputy.

**What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It saves us a lot of time using Deputy to manage the schedule and have the employees clock in and out. It's also connected easily to our payroll provider.

  ### 45. I like the software but feel some things need to be added to Deputy

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Melissa O. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 01, 2024

**What do you like best about Deputy?**

The time keeping and the geofencing are great. Also the independece of scheduling for staff.

**What do you dislike about Deputy?**

The updates that took away the coping a open shift feature
I feel that there should be a manager signature page for staff to have someone sign their shifts out for the day.

**What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's taking away the need to be on the phone to schedule employees every day.  Post and go for employees to see. Also, it sort of replaces paper timesheets if there were a manager signature page for employees to have a manager to sign off on their time daily. 
It keeps track of time as well, but sometimes the geofencing doesn't work per area.
