We’ve significantly enhanced the Australian onboarding experience to simplify the superannuation setup process, ensuring compliance and reducing the administrative burden for both managers and new team members. This overhaul addresses the complexity and manual effort historically involved in superannuation (Super) choice and tax file number declaration (TFND).

With a guided, staged experience, new employees can confidently select their Super fund and complete all necessary declarations, making them PayDay Compliant faster, leading to a faster employee Time-to-Start, and reduced admin effort.

What’s New ✨

• Guided, Staged Onboarding: New team members must complete one section before moving to the next, ensuring no critical information is missed.
• Multi-ABN Selection: Customers who have added multiple ABNs can now choose the relevant ABN during the onboarding process for the new team member.
• Instant TFND Creation: The necessary Tax File Number Declaration (TFND) is now created within the flow.
• Flexible Super Fund Choice: New team members have clear options to choose from an existing fund, instantly join a new fund, join their employer’s nominated fund, or utilise a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF).

How does it work?

1. When a new team member is added, they begin the enhanced onboarding process.
2. If the business operates under multiple ABNs, the manager or new team member is prompted to choose which ABN the onboarding relates to.
3. The team member is guided through staged onboarding, ensuring they complete essential sections like personal details before moving on to Superannuation.
4. In the Superannuation step, the team member is presented with clear choices: selecting an existing fund, joining a new fund instantly, joining the employer's default fund, or using a SMSF.
5. The process now includes the creation of the TFND (Tax File Number Declaration).

When will it be available?

This improvement is now available to all Deputy customers using the AU Onboarding flow who have added an ABN.
Enterprise businesses' rollout will commence in January. 

We've released a powerful upgrade that lets you automate data uploads directly via SFTP to ensure your data is processed accurately and securely.

• Processed files automatically sorted into folders processing, sent_successful, and sent_failed folders, plus successful/error email notification and a magic-link interface for fixing errors
• Add and manage up to 10 public keys per tenant for separate access for automation systems and multiple users

We plan to deprecate the legacy Add Shift Modal in Schedule Web by the end of 2025.

If you still see this screen when adding or editing a roster from the web, note that it will be replaced by the new Add Shift Popover starting from 30th October 2025.

Why

• Up-to-date technology stacks for better reliability.
• Improved user experience — cleaner, and more intuitive, designed to feel familiar like other modern calendar tools (e.g., Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook).
• Full feature parity with the legacy modal — everything you could do before, you can still do now.
• A foundation for Micro-scheduling with Single Pay Rate, enabling smoother operations when managing multiple schedules for a single employee in a day.

• Many of our upcoming scheduling improvements are built on top ofof Add Shift Popover,  eg.

  • Multi-select with Bulk Update/Delete
    
  • Shift patterns
  • Revamped Shift History
  • And more are coming

We've just launched a major improvement to payslip access experience giving both employers and employees more power and flexibility as to how they access their payslips.

Web Access for All - Employees can now view and download their payslips directly on the Deputy web platform—a perfect alternative for those who prefer desktop or don't have a smartphone.

Instant Email Notifications - Right at the end of a pay run, employers can send out email notifications to let everyone know their payslip is ready. (For high security, we send a secure link, not the PDF)

Always in control! - Need to notify a specific location, employment type, or just a single person about a payslip? Our filtering options make that easy.

How does it work?

When you complete and lock a payrun in Deputy Payroll now, a new option will appear allowing you to send payslip notifications to your employees.

Clicking Send Payslips will then open a dialog allowing you to select which employees to notify.

You can choose to email every employee, or you can filter based on options such as:

- Locations

- Employment type (Full Time, Casual etc)

Once you have selected who you want to email payslip notifications to, click Email Payslips and the notifications will be sent to employees. Allowing them to login to Deputy and view and download their payslips on the web application.

Availability

This is now available for all customers with Deputy Payroll in the Australia region.
