Pros / Cons
  • I've used Deputy in multiple organisations in restaurants, events and education settings over many years and it has always been pretty reliable, though I don't think it developed as quickly as other similar software packages and started to lag behind a bit.
  • When employee enters a punch that overlaps with a time off request, the kiosk doesn't log the punch or notify the employee that there is an issue.

  • I'm using the trial of the business premium & love the geofencing/clock-in feature, however, I found that if you accidently clock out, you cannot edit the clock out or clock back in until your next shift.
  • Some automation features are lacking in the free version, and I sometimes have to spend additional time manually adjusting schedules for last-minute changes.
