Employee time clock software

for accurate payroll

Buddy punching happens when one employee clocks in on behalf of another. Deputy's facial verification feature helps reduce this risk by requiring employees to verify their identity at the tablet kiosk before a clock-in is recorded.

The system uses liveness detection to help determine whether a real person is present at the device rather than a photo or video. Each verified clock-in is linked to an employee's attendance record, helping businesses maintain reliable time and attendance records.

Yes. Deputy lets you configure clock-in rules that help manage when staff can start recording time relative to their rostered shift. You can set clock-in buffers around shift start times, while managers retain the flexibility to approve exceptions when needed.

This helps businesses maintain greater control over labour costs while adapting to changing operational requirements.

Deputy's mobile time clock uses GPS geofencing to create a virtual boundary around a work location or client site. When an employee clocks in, the app compares their GPS location with the configured geofence and can flag or restrict clock-ins outside the approved area.

This creates a time-stamped attendance record that helps businesses maintain location-based records for mobile and field-based teams.

Deputy helps apply configured pay rules for Australian Modern Awards, including HIGA, GRIA, and SCHADS. The platform can support overtime, penalty rates, allowances, and EBA conditions based on your configured settings.

Deputy also tracks worked hours and recorded breaks, helping businesses maintain detailed records to support payroll processes and Fair Work record-keeping.

Deputy's time clock apps work on computers, phones, and tablets, giving businesses multiple options for recording employee work hours. The Deputy Kiosk app for iPad includes facial verification, while the mobile app for iOS and Android records a GPS location stamp. For Android tablets, the Deputy Time Clock app supports essential clock-in and break management features.
