Why can't I archive a team member?

Sometimes you will be unable to archive an employee, usually, the main cause of this is because the team member still has shifts or timesheets outstanding.

To archive an employee you first need to remove all their shifts from the schedule and ensure they are not currently on shift. Once all their shifts have been deleted or reassigned you will be able to archive the employee.

You will also need to approve or discard all timesheets for this team member before you can archive them.
If you are still facing problems archiving an employee please contact our helpful 24/7 support team.

All Deputy accounts have the ability to assign the access permissions of System Administrator, Location Manager, Supervisor, Employee or Advisor to their team.

However, only customers on our Enterprise plans are able to customise these roles for their team. 

If Location Managers or System Administrators need to update a team member's email address after they have already accepted an invite to Deputy they can do this via the Manage login issues button in the team member's profile. This will allow them to reset the login details and send a reset link to the team member's new email address. 

Why can't I change my team member's mobile phone number in Deputy?

A team member with access level assigned as employee will not have access to other team members contact details but can contact other team members at their location via the news feed posts feature.

A team member that is assigned as a Supervisor or Location Manager will be able to view team members’ contact details for only the team members they manage.

A team member that is assigned as a System Administrator will be able to view all team members’ contact details.
