About Deputy
Deputy is a workforce management platform covering employee scheduling, time and attendance tracking, wage and hour compliance, and an employee mobile app. Modules include auto-scheduling, demand forecasting, shift swapping, leave and availability management, break compliance, overtime management, and a pay rate builder. An HR add-on covers hiring, onboarding, document management, and performance tracking.
The vendor's site lists industries served including manufacturing and logistics, along with retail, hospitality, healthcare, and other sectors, and describes plans for single-location, multi-location, franchise, and enterprise businesses. The product is delivered through web, mobile, tablet, and desktop apps, indicating a cloud-hosted service, though the site does not describe any on-premise deployment option.
Pricing is published per user per month: Lite at $5, Core at $6.50, and Pro at $9, billed annually or monthly, with a stated minimum monthly spend per invoice. Add-ons such as HR, Messaging+, Analytics+, and a Payroll integration enabled by Paycor carry separate per-user fees plus, for payroll, a monthly base fee. Enterprise pricing requires contacting sales. The site does not detail how its payroll and POS integrations technically connect with other systems, nor does it specify on-premise or hybrid deployment options.
