Frequently asked questions

  • What is Healthcare staff rota software?

    Healthcare staff rota software manages the rotas of hourly employees at medical facilities including hospitals, clinics, private practice, front office staff, lab technicians, and nurses. Our rota software helps automate schedules, record holidays and sick leave, track overtime, and generate timesheets for compensation.

  • How simple is it to implement Deputy at my Clinic?

    Deputy is best known for its ease of set up and ease of use — just check out our customer reviews. We’ve made it simple for healthcare clinics to get started with employee rota software. It’s as easy as starting a free trial, setting up your locations, and inviting your staff.

  • How do I capture timesheets for my practice?

    Using Deputy's time tracking software, staff can either record their hours from a tablet device at a fixed point in your business or from their own phones. You can then verify and approve timesheets, ensure they’re correct, and seamlessly sync them with payroll software like Xero.

  • Why do clinic owners love Deputy?

    According to our reviews, Deputy wins over clinics and medical practices because it’s extremely easy to set up and easy to use. It’s simple to onboard your staff, manage your team from one app, and free up more time for the things that matter.

  • What are the most important medical staff scheduling software features?

    When you’re choosing healthcare software, it’s vital to ensure that the technology includes all the features you need to do your rota planning tasks. At the very least, it should: provide a way to schedule all workers, wherever they are; record employee hours worked; track wages and costs; and allow staff to make holiday and shift change requests.

    Beyond these essential capabilities, look for value added features too. For example, Deputy allows you to onboard and attract new staff, allocate individual shift tasks, check in on morale and engagement, and monitor staff wellness – and much more. 

  • Will Deputy work with other systems?

    Yes! Our rota app has been built to function seamlessly with all sorts of accounting, HR, and point of sale software including Xero, Vend, and iPayroll. For a full list of integrations, click here.

  • Can employees schedule time off at my practice?

    Absolutely! You can manage leave requests in Deputy. Employees can request time off via the app, and it’s simple for managers to approve time off and see when staff will be away on the schedule.
