Deputy Software

Pros

Easy to access on any device, tracks employee time and geo tracks. The new feed is very helpful for notifying employees across a large territory.

Cons

Nothing I can think of overall. Deputy was the best choice for use based on interface and useability of the product.

It saves me time and effort and precisely tracks my employees' time on the clock.

Pros

It seamlessly and easily ties into my accounting software (Xero). Exporting timesheets is a breeze and ALWAYS works.

Cons

I can't manually add exact break start and stop times if an employee forgets to clock out for a break. I can only add chunks of time to the time on break.

Easy scheduling and time tracking for my small company where I wear many hats. I can take care of our schedule in a small amount of time and make changes or adjustments easily.

Pros

Deputy offers flexibility and accountability. I can handle all the scheduling in minutes and the mobile app allows me to make quick check ins or adjustments.

Cons

Publishing copied shifts is a tad cumbersome but does prevent errors. I've learned to work wiith it.

Pros

The ease of covering shifts amongst staff members and being able to copy and paste a whole week to the next.

Cons

It doesn't display as well as i would like for the schedule. I would like it to be more of a spreadsheet on my mobile

Pros

I love that it's super easy to use! I love that the people you make the scheduled can put in certain times they're unavailable it makes working with their schedules so easy!

Cons

The only complaint I have is that it doesn't work well on an iPad or tablet. The software is awesome for computers and laptops but wish it was designed so that it was easy to us on an iPad

Pros

This software is soooo easy to use. I have never even had to walk am employee through using the the software.

Cons

I'd love for breaks to not auto fill for employees. This can cause inadvertent errors that I think could be avoided.

Pros

ease of matching staff and their qualifications to areas of work. Deputy will tell me if the wrong person has been selected for a particular task

Cons

there is nothing that i dont like about this software. its easy to use and makes rostering a whole lot easier to manage

Pros

How easy it is! And the Great customer support! My staff loves it. It has given them a way to take more ownership of what we do.

Cons

I haven't found anything to dislike! I am a huge fan!! The only thing I would like to see added would be a calendar of events, appointments, birthdays etc.

Pros

You can clock in and send notifications with all staff easily as well as assigning tasks to check off.

Cons

Adjusting for in correct GPS when clocking in or out. No other issues with the app.

Pros

We manage there different veterinary clinics with Deputy. Love the payroll projections for the work week. We use the journal options to keep track of items for review during our performance reviews. Love love love the integration with Quickbooks and Intuit Payroll, makes life super easy!!

Cons

We have not encountered any shortcomings. We have only experience difficulty clocking in with our employees once which was a system wide issue and was resolved quickly.

Helping our small business to stay organized and allow for better communication with our scheduling.

Pros

I like that it sends a text to the employees with their schedules. I also like that they can use it as a timeclock.

Cons

I can't think of anything...maybe that you can't fully customize adding a new employee on the app like you can on the computer.

Pros

ease of moving shifts around, ease of editing hours employees worked, ease of copy and pasting schedules for following weeks, the spreadsheet that gets downloaded for payroll is very clear and easy to ready.

Cons

if you want to delete an employee, you have to go through and delete every single shift of theres before removing them. small headache but still annoying every time.

Saves me time and hassle. Employees know how to use it quickly with little/no training.

Pros

Inexpensive, feature rich, and easy for me to export timesheets to our payroll provider, Gusto. It was easy to add our existing employees when we made the switch. Employees have no complaints using it for time off requests, unavailability or integrating with their calendar so they know when they're scheduled.

Cons

The manager side of the mobile app is lacking full access to make it easy to approve time off requests. Depending how I pull up the request from my phone sometimes it also shows the date as Christmas Eve from years in the past (like 2015). Hasn't been a big enough pain for me personally to be mad enough to contact them, though I should so they can tell me I'm dumb and using it wrong or fix it.

Pros

I like the ability to be able to reach personnel in timely manner. It provides contact number and the ability text and email. Scheduling shifts is easy. The clone feature is a time saver.

Cons

We had to adjust the way we built shifts. At first it would not provide a map of the location but now that feature has been added.

Pros

The ease of scheduling, building a schedule and sending it out easily. Employees receiving real time updates via mobile phones and emails.

Cons

Haven¿t found anything yet. If I had to pick one thing is text alerts when people put in leave requests.

Able to have all my employees sign in , sign out , and break time when they work. Pull out time sheets to do our payroll efficiently now.

Pros

Easy to use. User friendly interface. A lot of features available, however we don't use all of what Deputy has to offer.

Cons

The employee can change their login time without manager's approval. I always have to check the history to change the time back to what they signed in at.

Pros

I is nice that employees can be grouped by department, or class. When its time to do payroll, the calculations are already there.

Cons

I have noticed that when someone does not sign out for their break, the calculated hours show that they did. This has caused some frustration with employees who expect to be paid for the break they did not take.

Pros

The best feature is when the software alerts other employees of an open shift. Other features that are good include the schedule copy over and porting the hours over to quick books.

Cons

I have has some issues with porting over the payroll hours to quickbooks. It sometimes does not work.

Ease for scheduling!

Pros

The communication between managers and staff is great! I like how we can use this when we are on the go for off-site events!

Cons

No complaints! I have had no difficulties with the program and would recommend it to anyone that asked me!

Pros

Employees can manage their own schedules, and they get text messages with schedule updates. It is easy to create different departments. We also like how it exports to our accounting software.

Cons

No cons. There is really nothing I'd change. We've been very pleased with the app. It is much better than trying to do everything on google calender like before.
