[Enterprise] People Tab
Updated over a week ago
Overview
People are the heart of your organisation. In Deputy, people can be added, updated or archived as your organisation grows and changes. We recommend that you do this through the People tab. This guide will mention the main functions on this tab and how to change them to suit your business.
For more information on adding, updating, or archiving people, read our People FAQ.
Note: Your ability to view and edit people in Deputy is controlled by your Access Level, and is limited to who you manage. If you feel your access level is incorrect, or are unable to view the details of those who you manage, consult your Organization's System Administrator.

Pay Details - what pay rates a team member has. Click here for a deep dive on these. Note: Employees without pay details can still be rostered and their time approved but their timesheets cannot be exported.
Stress Profiles - Stress Profiles are guidelines for scheduling that help prevent over scheduling an employee based on applicable labor laws. More information on stress profiles.
[Advanced] Manage Areas - Permission permitting, this will allow the employee to schedule and approve time sheets for any worker who works in the selected areas.
[Advanced] Preferred Areas - Deputy uses preferred areas when auto scheduling employees to ensure the best employee is working in the right place.
Note: You can also set Preferred by starting with the Area in the Schedule Tab, and adding people to it, using the method detailed here, and is ideal if you need to add multiple people as preferred to one Area.
It is not recommended to use advanced functionality unless advised to by your consultant or account manager.
