How our client "Kinfolk" uses Deputy and Xero

How does Deputy increase staff efficiency?

Deputy's real-time performance review features allow employers to give feedback after every shift and increase employee morale by celebrating top performers and providing support to those who need more assistance. A performance record can also be maintained which can be used to identify trends in job performance and assist in the generation of reports. Employee satisfaction can also be tracked through the rating given by the staff member after completing their shift.

How does Deputy help with staff costing and budgeting?

Deputy shows staff costs while scheduling shifts based on the pay rates assigned to them. This helps in staff allocation based on the budgets for the week or month. Also, the "start shift" and "end shift" options along with 'start break' and 'end break' given to employees during their shifts allow for accurate wage payments based on the actual hours worked. The reports function in deputy helps in monitoring the sales v/s work schedule of employees for a particular week and gives a snapshot of the total costs incurred v/s revenue generated for the week. It also syncs revenue information from the POS system which helps with staff allocation.

How Deputy's award rate interpretation removes the guesswork?

Deputy has multiple award rates based on occupation and level of skills (for example, Chefs come under restaurant industry award (RIA) for level 1-2, and 3 and above). The system automatically calculates rates for weekends, public holidays, night shifts, etc which saves a lot of time.

How do Xero and Deputy sync and create efficiencies?

Deputy allows timesheets to be exported to Xero, and syncs the base pay rates and employee details from Xero. This simplifies the payroll process as updates can be done in one platform and can be synced to another in a short span of time.
