Reduce wage costs

Simplify award compliance
Deputy can calculate employee overtime, penalty rates, loadings, and salary costs with every shift. It’s easy to set up according to modern awards.
Roster by qualifications
Always have the right person for the job. Roster staff according to their skills and training, whether it’s first aid, food preparation, or heavy machinery qualifications.
Cover leave & unavailability
Make it simple to manage leave and staff availability. Your team can independently request time off, while managers get clarity leave balances and who’s available to work.
Monitor attendance & breaks
See when staff arrive on site, take breaks, and leave for the day. Missed or unscheduled breaks are flagged so you can proactively manage compliance risks.
