What is Deputy?

Deputy is a workforce management platform built for businesses with hourly employees, covering employee scheduling, time and attendance tracking, leave management, and team communication in one system. Managers can build shift schedules with drag-and-drop tools or use auto-scheduling and demand forecasting to match staffing levels to predicted workload, while employees clock in and out via mobile app, web browser, or a shared kiosk with PIN or facial recognition. The platform tracks breaks and overtime automatically and helps enforce labor law compliance around rest periods and overtime rules.

Deputy integrates with popular payroll and POS systems and can export timesheets directly for payroll processing, or use its own payroll add-on (powered by Paycor) in the US. It serves small businesses up through multi-location and franchise operations across industries such as hospitality, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing. Plans are priced per user per month with tiers that unlock progressively more advanced scheduling, compliance, and administrative features, plus optional add-ons for HR, messaging, and analytics.
