Shift Pulse gives managers valuable insights into employee well-being, reducing churn. Our HR product streamlines onboarding, ensuring a 5-star experience for new hires from day one. 

  • Powerful reporting, to surface the data you need to drive your business forward.  Leverage Deputy's pre-built reports for insights into commonly used metrics like wages, timesheets, and sales, or create custom reports to analyze specific aspects of your business performance. 

  • Streamlined payroll, taking your pay run time from days down to minutes. With approved timesheets seamlessly sent to Xero, eliminate double data entry and reduce errors, completing payroll in just a few clicks.

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.
