Since Xero was released in 2006 they have been taking MYOB customers by the thousands. MYOB have tried to stem the flow but it has been difficult with Xero having a massive head start in the cloud. There are many reasons that Xero has been successful, hundreds of partners have all contributed to the movement of MYOB customers moving from MYOB to Xero.

One of those partners Deputy rostering and time and attendance software has had a direct integration into Xero for a number of years. Every week that customers sign up for the Deputy rostering and time and attendance software I am asked which payroll should I look at that will work well with Deputy. The answer has always been the same Xero is the best payroll fully integrated making the connection between both systems simple.

MYOB customers now have the opportunity to also directly integrate into Deputy rostering and time and attendance software with the release of the integration into MYOB AccountRight Live. I know that many MYOB customers will be happy with this release, some have waited a long time. Will this stem the flow of MYOB customers to Xero only time will tell. The good news the business is you can now take your rostering and payroll into the cloud fully integrated without too much effort.

full instructions are inside the Deputy rostering  time and attendance software to set up your integration into MYOB. Existing customers can call 1300 800 077 for any assistance.

Deputy is out of the blocks faster than any rostering company on the planet. The Deputy app is now available on your Apple watch. Apple say there are around 2 million orders for the Apple watch initially not as popular as iPhone but Apple do not get measured by how many Apple watchers are sold. The iPhone is still the number 1 hardware for Apple. Approximately 300,000 watchers are coming to Australia no doubt there will be some Deputy  rostering users amongst them.

Unlike most electronic devices you can’t just walk into an Apple Store and buy a watch and take it home with you to start playing, you  have to go into the Apple store to get fitted and then the watch is ordered online and delivered to your door.

Open shifts
Give yourself the power to relax, select open shifts and let the rostering system work for you. Once you set an open shift with a start and finish time the system will do the following for you….

• Automatically send an email to all employees elegible based on the location, department, day, start and finish time taking into consideration leave and existing organised days off
• Keen employees will accept the shift electronically, automatically updating your data base while you are working on another project.
• Job done

Employee availability

Stop worrying about what employees can work and when, stop running spreadsheets spending hours on the phone making sure everyone is ok to work the shifts you allocated…what the rostering system can do for you….

• Let employees advise availability into the future electronically before rosters are even built, employees can access from the free app on their smartphone or login through the web.
• Employee calls in sick, no problem replace them quickly from your mobile phone even when you are not in the office.

Drag and drop functionality

Rostering should be as easy as drag and drop, move employees into the department you need on the day you need with simple drag and drop functionality.  Control C and control V to easily copy and paste one day to the next.

No double ups

How many times have you screwed up the spreadsheet and ended up with to many people on shift, what about the classic, rostering an employee to work in 2 different places at the same time, anyone who has run a spreadsheet for rostering knows about this issue.

No Double ups means you cannot double up an employee into 2 locations at the same time, the system simply will not let you roster one employee into 2 different locations/departments

Employee app

With the take up of smart phones globally you would be crazy to implement traditional employee time clocks. This year I assisted a customer with 55 locations and over 500 staff, they were looking at over $75,000 just to install and configure employee fingerprint time clocks all over Australia with several locations overseas.  The customer never selected the fingerprint hardware costing $75,000 and went with our rostering solution with time and attendance configured for payroll.

A clever employee app included in the software at no additional cost will allow employees not only to sign in and sign out completely removing the cost of hardware to your business the app will also allow employees to advise availability, receive company and individual messages and tasks.

Rostering systems over the past 3-4 years have really evolved with access to the internet now in the hands of nearly every working employee. Smart phone sales have rocketed over the past 7 years around the world.

Inline with smart phone sales has been the massive growth of apps. You can find an app for just about anything you can think of. The cleverest of apps for employee scheduling includes the ability not only for the employee to start and stop a shift. Employee scheduling apps have come a long way now giving the ability to put the employee roster directly onto the employee phone weeks in advance. Employees can now sync their smart device calendar to receive their schedule automatically populating the employee calendar with the shifts they need to work over the coming period.

This type of clever technology would have really helped Starbucks recently where it became clear over 130,000 employees were mostly kept in the dark about upcoming schedules. Starbucks have this week made an announcement that they will post the employee schedule at least one week in advance…….wow would you be happy with this, so for ever Starbucks have been making it very difficult for employees to know what they are doing next week.

With the busy lives we all lead today, millions of casual workers who in many cases may have more than 1 casual job need visibility about the workload they have. Being casual is tough, you don’t even know if you are working tomorrow sometimes and in many cases have no idea if you are working next week.

Don’t let your company become main news across websites around the world.
