Deputy continue to move forward faster than any other scheduling company on the globe. Deputy are moving so fast the gap between Deputy and other products in the market is widening, no competitor is keeping pace.

What about these Xero integration gems….

1. Payslip export

Along with exporting to Xero timesheets, you can now export to Xero Pay Slips directly! This means you can skip the timesheet approval process in Xero and go straight to payroll. It’s perfect for when there are elements of pay that aren’t just “Hours”. Eg. distance travelled, allowances, tips etc. If you want to track wages across tracking categories, we recommend using Timesheet export.

2. Auto update

Exactly one year ago Deputy launched Xeroshare. This site allows Xero customers (even those not using Deputy) to utilise industry rates in their Xero account. Deputy can read the rates directly in Xero which allowed configuring overtime and allowances using our bracket notation. There was just one little annoyance, you had to keep syncing the employees in Deputy. Today we’ve introduced a minor update, now you don’t have come to Deputy to update/sync the rates again. Simply setup “Updated Employee” -> “Sync Pay Rates” integration under Location Settings -> Add-Ons -> Xero.

drum roll……..and now for the big one….

3. Xero payroll for the UK

After working closely with the Xero Payroll team Deputy are proud to be the first add-on partner to release an integration for Xero Payroll UK. This will enable Deputy customers to streamline business processes and further reduce their administrative burden. Deputy already enriched the payroll process for thousands of Aussie and US businesses. Now Deputy are delighted to do the same for our customers in the UK.

Deputy partners in the UK are notably excited about what this means for their clients, already Deputy are hearing statements such as “This integration helps us to improve the efficiency of businesses across the UK, it’s a real game-changer for business operations today.”

The Deputy team are outstanding, have insight beyond the next 20 scheduling companies combined globally. I remember sharing with a partner more than 10 years ago that cloud was the way to go but they insisted on staying with traditional time and attendance. The world has changed, the game has changed and employee scheduling has changed forever thanks to Deputy.

Deputy is now in more than 70 countries around the world.

I received this question recently…

I have already evaluated Deputy. According to my staff I am unable to run two rosters (one for Kitchen and one for Floor) in my restaurants without having two ipad time clock kiosks at each site. The alternative was to have the kitchen and floor rostering combined so that I can have just the one ipad kiosk on site. It is a strange restriction that your competitors have managed to avoid.

After speaking with the customer and getting a full understanding of the issue we discovered….That this was simply a misunderstanding as the software is more than capable of handling unlimited departments on a single iPad kiosk.

The most popular way for employees to sign in & out globally with Deputy scheduling software is to use existing smart devices. Most employees today either have an iPhone or an android phone, each employee can use their own phone, download the Deputy app and start signing in and signing out. Employees can also see their own schedule, apply for leave, or simply build in future availability so that the person completing the schedule is automatically notified of the employee’s intentions.

Perfect for uni students, casual staff, employees who work in multiple locations. You can even post where you are when you are unavailable as seen below letting your boss know you are a hard worker….

What about the ability to pick up extra shifts when you are available? How easy is this? see an open shift, take an open shift

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.

Regardless of how small your team is, a staff roster is crucial to the running operations of your business. Without rosters, confusion would arise as staff would constantly arrive and leave whenever they please, shifts would remain uncovered and there would be no indication of how long a staff member worked.

If you use a simple paper time sheet currently we all know the times written down are not the actual times. As soon as an employee is late when using paper time sheets they will write down the start time of the shift not the actual time. If the shift starts at 8:00 and the employee arrives at 8:06 they should write down 8:06 but we all know the majority of employees given the freedom will simply write 8:00

A roster puts your business in order, but instead of using an out-dated technique such as manual time sheets, there is now a simpler and faster way to prepare a staff schedule. Staff Rosters has discovered the web based rostering solution to solve the hundreds of problems Australian businesses encounter every day.

 Online rostering is a simple and straightforward web-application

Online rostering is effective, time-saving and beneficial to all involved. All changes can be emailed, sent via SMS or sent completely free with the free employee staff rosters app available on iPhone and Android to alert staff of any last minute changes or annual leave approval, and these rosters are environmentally friendly. If you have ever had to print out a new roster after every change you make, you will understand how much you will benefit from just a click of the button to change what you have originally written, saving you paper expenses and time.

Imagine the employees having the roster delivered to their own mobile phone, syncing automatically with their calendar taking into account availability.

Staff Rosters provides a roster template for all clients to revolutionise the way your business manages their staff roster. From comparing rosters against the previous week to easily viewing daily, weekly and monthly costings, there has never been a better way to schedule your staff’s time and attendance.
