Terrible, don't do it

I subscribed to Deputy and after a month of using it and several hours with my accountant we couldn't get it to work properly with xero. SO many integration issues. Customer support is overseas and TERRIBLE. I organised a call with my accountant and they were an hour late and THEN spent an hour and a half trying to figure out my issues, in the end it wasn't resolved. I cancelled my subscription and then they CHARGED ME $1,800 for the remainder of the years subscription so I paid for 12 months of use when I had nothing but trouble. My accountant was seeing red by the end of the phone call and was incredibly frustrated by their incompetence. I had similar responses online prior to booking the phone call with my accountant and I kept repeating myself over and over and they still didn't understand the problem . Save yourself the trouble and go with urhere for $22 a month and excellent customer service.

NOT good. Integration with xero never worked

Integration with xero never worked. Waste of time and money. Very difficult to get help from phillipine customer service via email (until it becomes really serious and someone from Australia steps in). The overseas customer service people work at different time zone and send email replies in the evening/ night time. Not sure why everyone is positive about deputy. Deputy cannot do more than just a very simple roster and tracking. If your company is more complicated than just a 9-5 staff and you need smooth payroll integration, I recommend that you choose a software that is more advanced than deputy.

Serves the purpose

Deputy Services the purpose of timesheet and allocation of shifts, creating locations and managing. However, in some areas, deputy lacks customization. For a staff of 45-60 for 3 locations, it charges an average of $450.00 and extra charges on texting.
