While the web browser, iOS and Android Deputy apps look slightly different, the layout is similar. Deputy is made to be easy to navigate for every user with the same menu options however you log in.
Me
The Me tab is the first thing you’ll see when you log in.
This is an information hub that will give you a seven-day overview of your shifts, the number of hours you’re scheduled for in the week and (depending on your workplace settings) will show you who you are working with. You can also apply for leave and add unavailabilities here, which will be explained later.
From this screen, you can start and end your shift by clicking the Start Shift or End Shift button. You will also be notified if you are late for your scheduled shift.
News Feed
The News Feed is a central communications hub accessible for everyone. While it can be used for announcements, you can also send News Feed posts to individual team members. Announcements will also be sent via email.
To create a post, click the blue Create Post button in the top right corner.
Your employer can make posts that require you to confirm that you have seen them. When this occurs, the post will look like the following:
You just need to click the I Confirm button, which will notify your manager that you’ve read the News Feed post. You can add comments here too and your manager will see them.
Tasks
The Tasks page lists all of your assigned tasks. Tasks can be assigned by managers, or you can assign yourself a task as a reminder.
To mark the task as Completed, just click the checkbox next to the task.
Locations
The Locations page provides a list of the places you are employed in, along with the address of the business. It will list all the locations if you work at multiple locations, provided it’s been entered as such by the managers.
If you click on the Location Address, a pop-up will appear with the location of the business marked by a pin on Google Maps. You can also see which team members are currently working at that location (if your workplace has enabled that setting).
Schedule
On the Schedule page, you can see the published schedule for the location(s) you work at. The date and view selector allow you to change the way this information is presented.
From the Deputy mobile app you can also select the date and location at the top of the screen on the Schedule tab to view your team members working at that location.
