As part of our ongoing commitment to privacy, we’ve refined Hire permissions. Managers will now only see job listings and candidates for the locations they’re assigned to—ensuring access is limited to what’s relevant, protecting confidential details, and making Hire simpler and easier to use.
Building on the success of Document Library in Deputy HR—and thanks to customer feedback—we’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature: the ability to upload, share, and track acknowledgements for MP4 videos.
This means you can go beyond documents and bring policies, training, and updates to life with video.

We’ve improved the shift dynamic changes experience in the Mobile app, making it easier for managers and employees to handle the updates on the go.
What’s new:
The whole dynamic changes workflow supports both Micro-scheduling shifts and normal single area shifts.
⚠️ Note: Currently, the whole workflow apply to the entire shift (including all sub-shifts in a Micro-scheduling shift). Partial swap/offer/replacement isn’t yet supported. As a workaround, managers can use the Link/Split Shift feature to divide shifts and reassign parts.
We've made it even easier to narrow down to the right group team members by adding the ability to filter your employee list by as many criteria as you need. We've added some much requested options such as:
just to name a few. This will be rolling out before the end of the year, but as a nice simple lightweight change, we are now opening this up to any customers who need greater flexibility when it comes to honing into specific sets of staff members and shifts when scheduling.
By comparing budgeted, scheduled, and actual hours in one view, managers can make more informed, data-driven scheduling decisions—without the need to toggle Areas on and off in the Stats Panel to check daily hours data.This feature also serves as a valuable add-on, offering a more tailored experience for managers to monitor Micro-scheduling hours by area.
Bulk Import Schedules from File is a powerful tool that streamlines the bulk setup of rosters—especially valuable during the implementation or easily migrating from excel/google sheet into Deputy digital solutions.
The new changes also support for Micro-scheduling schedules to be seamlessly imported into your Deputy account that will help you setup many rosters in a shorter period by significantly reducing the onboarding time and efforts.
Team members are now able to state when they prefer to work by adding when they are available, not just when they are unavailable.
The new ability for team members to add in their availability will tie in with all the same touch points for managers scheduling shifts meaning there will be no changes to how you schedule. Managers will still see a warning when someone is being scheduled for a shift that clashes with when a team member has indicated a preference to work or not.
Availability makes it easier for certain kinds of team members to keep their availability up to date, such as casual staff members or people who don’t work full time hours and it may be easier and faster to indicate when they are available vs unavailable.
Making this process easier for employees will mean you’ll have more data available when looking to find the best fit for a shift.
