Pros

“The platform provides a comprehensive and efficient solution for managing schedules, tracking employee hours, and maintaining clear communication within a team.”

Yasmin M.

“Its user-friendly design reduces the learning curve and allows both managers and employees to navigate the system with ease. Despite some minor technical limitations, Deputy consistently delivers on its core functionalities and contributes to a more organized and productive workflow.”

Yasmin M.

“Deputy creates pay rules- it sends the pay rules to MYOB to tell it how much to calculate the base rate by.”

Rafaela S.

Business Developemnt manager

“Love the event layout and the ability to move people to different events easily.”

Graham H.

Director of Finance and Human Resources

Cons

“This can be frustrating when, for example, an employee returns early from a doctor's appointment, thinks they have punched in, but their supervisor finds out when approving timesheets that the punch was not logged.”

Amy E.

Vice President

“For Australian Users - this product is NOT COMPLIANT to pay in accordance with the awards.”

Nicole D.

Manager

“Some crashes occur that prevent the full active schedule from being displayed at once, it may require reloading the page more than once to resolve the issue.”

Moran G.

Mobile Marketing Lead

Cons

“We cannot communicate 2 way with staff and cannot create a group chats with the team per event. Since we are here, also a section where you can have documents to give team.”

Pablo M.

Director

“Not allowing workers to Opt to share their calendars across multiple employers means that employee calendars are not always up to date.”

Jonathan R.

Director of Operations

“Sometimes can be glitchy but it could be internet access”
