The Deputy Time Clock and Kiosk apps let your team clock in and out of their shifts from a shared device in the workplace. They record accurate start, break, and finish times and help managers verify attendance using PIN login, facial recognition, or photo capture. Deputy is in the process of consolidating these experiences into the new unified Deputy Time Clock app. This article explains the different features available in each app so you can ensure your workplace has everything it needs today.

Deputy Time Clock (iPad/Android)

The Deputy Time Clock app is the current Deputy time clock experience. It can be installed on an iPad or Android tablet, providing a unified experience across devices. Key features not available in the legacy apps include:

Micro-scheduling support
Multi-location kiosk setup
Enhanced shift visibility

Deputy aims to bring all features from the legacy apps into this app, making it the recommended solution for workplaces planning for a future-ready, consistent experience across all devices.
