Annual leave system is underdeveloped but at premium price I would echo what recent reviews are saying about Deputy support but my main gripe is about the annual leave management system. It's underdeveloped but comes at a premium cost. When things go wrong, and they have done frequently for us due to the merging of two Deputy accounts and the recent updates to the system, be prepared to spend days and days working out what's gone wrong and how to fix it. Deputy claims to save you time and streamline processes, and it has done that for scheduling, but far from it for annual leave. We'd be better off with pen and paper! Simple things can't be done, such as: 1) Exporting a CSV file showing total number of holiday days per employee per pay cycle (it displays on the custom report but doesn't export to CSV) 2) Employees being able to check how many days leave they have remaining on their mobile app (it's never accurate as leave approved for the following year will be deducted from the current year's balance) There was an issue with the last update where you had to mark annual leave timesheets as paid before they would deduct from the balance. We pay monthly, so this meant the balances were incorrect all month until that one day they got marked as paid. This has now been rectified by Deputy, but it left us out of pocket as we overpaid holiday to a number of people during that time. No compensation from Deputy for releasing an untested update to it's customers. As others have said, you can never speak to a Manager so in sheer desperation in Nov 2023, I reached out to one of the Customer Success Managers, Kat Doria on LinkedIn and she did arrange a video call with me. During the call she said she'd help with a few things, including sorting the problem we've been having for 12 months now regarding the duplication of shift offers... ...but she never got back to me. So disappointing!

I'm amazed they can charge for this.. I'm amazed they can charge for this... even more amazed after we were stupidly paying them for really crappy software that they would up the price so much on renewal.. Glad they did as we now use Sling, which is better software for a much more reasonable price (Free for scheduling) customer service on deputy is awful and the software is full of bugs that nobody has any idea how to resolve.

Deputy makes scheduling easy and… Deputy makes scheduling easy and affordable. We are a small caregiving company with not a lot of resources. Deputy allows us to ensure everyone has real time accurate schedules along with all the important details of each location.

Copy and paste glitches I like that I can copy and paste the shifts, this makes it a lot faster of a process. Deputy can have some glitches sometimes where you cannot paste shifts for backshift, as it pops up with an error stating it is a bad request: end should be greater than start. Usually, the next day deputy is back to normal.

Non existent support when you need it Regrettably, Deputy has provided the worst customer support I've ever encountered. A simple request was met with an astoundingly complex and outdated process. The support representative offered no direct assistance and simply forwarded our concern to another team. It's as if they were washing their hands off our issue rather than genuinely helping. This experience has been frustrating and has seriously tarnished Deputy's reputation for us. Frankly, it's made us reconsider our choice of software provider. Bottom line: If you're looking for reliable and efficient customer support, steer clear of Deputy.
