Reviews of Deputy

allows for more accomplished work
Comments: It allows me to have order and coordination in all my work, using this platform I do not have to move to others causing confusion
Pros:
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
Cons:
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
Alternatives Considered:
A robust system with lots of features
Comments: I use Deputy for rostering staff, processing time sheets and payroll and messaging the team.
Pros:
Deputy is a robust rostering and payroll system with sections for tracking employee training and keeping documents safe.
Cons:
It's expensive, as you pay per active user and there is a base charge as well. It adds up quickly!
Cross it off your list of potential payroll providers
Comments: Woeful. Save yourself the time and trouble and pick something else - Keypay is a great option and probably the next option for us.
Pros:
Coloured locations and tracking code integration into Xero
Cons:
Customer service canned responses SCHADS Interpretation that is different to the award Errors in the software that are ignored - and then they start quoting the terms and conditions to me when I kick up about it So many inconsistencies in the product and they don't care
The best shift coordinator, guarantees many solutions to ensure the continuity of workflow
Pros:
Deputy, with its user-friendly interface, simplifies shift scheduling. I loved how it ensures that all team members adhere to the approved schedule, each member can easily view the active schedule and follow up on any urgent updates. Deputy ensures that workflow continues smoothly when rescheduling, allowing us to avoid tasks being affected, and find alternative solutions to achieve the required compliance.
Cons:
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.
Good for startups
Comments: it was great, but all that needs to change is the save feature
Pros:
Loved the group chat feature so we could communicate before adding shifts
Cons:
Very hard to create schedule without wiping the previous version
