Deputy: your complete staff management toolkit

Deputy has helped more than 70,000 businesses across the globe improve their operations. Created by people who know shift work, Deputy allows business owners or management to create and edit rosters easily, notifying employees at the click of a button. Integrate your Deputy and Xero accounts to save you time and provide all your insights in one place. Carbon can help with this!

Integrations

Remove the guesswork from staff scheduling! Integrate your POS systems to identify peaks and troughs of foot traffic to create your schedule accordingly.

Find and replace

Avoid having to do the ring around to fill in an available shift. Offer the shift to your employees with one tap. You can also allow employees to swap shifts.

Fatigue and overtime management

Do your staff have varying scheduling needs like minimum hours per day or per week or only available on certain days? Deputy has you covered.

Training

Need to assign a certain skill set to a shift? Whether it’s first aid, food preparation or heavy machinery, allocate employees according to their skills and qualifications.

Costing

Stay within budget by syncing your employees’ pay rates straight from your payroll software, and review the cost of your schedule before publishing.

Mobile and time attendance

The beauty of cloud-based software is that you can clock on and off your shifts from anywhere, anytime, using any device.

Time billing

Generate invoices based on hours worked per customer, task or activity straight into your accounting software.

Export to payroll

Integrate with online accounting software such as Xero for time-saving payroll procedures.

Custom pay rates

Deputy calculates overtime, penalty rates, loadings and salary costing with every shift according to your local laws.

Stop time theft

With Deputy Mobile geolocation capability, you can track your employees’ locations to make sure they are onsite.

Create messages and add comments

Create posts for your whole company or specific individuals to see and give them access to comment.

Attach documents

Ensure all employees are receiving the same information, at the same time by easily uploading PDFs and images to the message board.

Send messages

Deputy encourages communication between employees by alerting them of new messages via email or notifications.

Multiple locations

Manage communication with your employees across multiple areas and locations.

Create tasks

Once a task has been created and assigned to an employee, they will receive a notification to log in and view all the details.

Monitor performance

Easily recognise top performers and make notes of employee performance based on their completed tasks.

We used to spend roughly two days a week doing payroll and
half a day a week doing rosters. We now do payroll in a day
and rosters one day per month.

Deputy helps you have the right people in the right place, at the right time

Improve your workplace communication, scheduling and task management with cloud-based software, Deputy. Integrate Deputy with your online accounting software, like Xero, to streamline your payroll needs. Get in touch with Carbon for seamless integration between Deputy and Xero!
