Fast, efficient scheduling

Schedule teams for profitability and social distancing

Build rotas that meet demand, reduce health risks, and help your teams work effectively — with confidence in their safety.

  • Plan shifts to match demand with clear forecasts of your labour requirements

  • Schedule available staff with simple drag and drop tools — and send out shift details instantly

  • Avoid overcrowding by staggering employee arrival and finish times, and ensure a safe amount of staff are scheduled across different roles or locations

  • Reduce the risk of illness spreading by splitting your staff into independent squads — use templates to easily rotate squads between different days or weeks

  • Stay on budget with real-time visibility over wage costs and labour percentages

Live reporting on attendance, wellness, and performance

Manage teams remotely with real-time visibility across locations

Receive an alert if staff show worrying symptoms, see who’s arrived on site and who’s running late, and track job progress.

  • See who’s currently on shift, on break, or late with real-time attendance updates

  • Protect your business with automated pre-shift health checks, which prevent staff from starting their shift if they pose a health risk to their team or customers

  • If an employee comes down with a virus, instantly trace all the coworkers they’ve had contact with, notify them directly, and adjust rotas as needed

  • See when important tasks and hygiene procedures have been completed

Shift changes and communication

Communicate changes to the rota and important safety updates

Handle last-minute changes to the rota and make sure staff are across the latest workplace updates.

  • Adjust your team’s rota from web or mobile and publish updates instantly

  • If staff can’t work their shift, find a replacement with one tap in the Deputy app — or simply allow staff to swap with suitable team members

  • Share new workplace policies or hygiene procedures and receive an update when they’re reviewed

  • Communicate with your whole team from a central noticeboard or reach out to staff individually, keep employee details in one place, and stay organised under pressure

  • Staff can record their exact time on shift via our touch-free time clock — reducing surface contact

  • Managers can verify, review, and export digital timesheets to payroll in minutes

  • Protect your business with automated pre-shift health checks, which prevent staff from clocking in if they’re a health risk to their colleagues or your customers

  • When staff begin or end their shift, remind them of important tasks or hygiene protocols they need to complete
