What is the new Deputy Time Clock?
Deputy already offers two comprehensive fixed time clock solutions for Deputy customers:
However, some workplaces may not want the additional expense or complication of maintaining iPads or tablets where computers are already available. In this situation, the web browser-based Deputy Web Time Clock can provide a fixed time clock solution.
The Deputy Web Time Clock allows your team to quickly:
- clock in and out for shifts and breaks
- view today's shifts
- answer shift questions
from a computer connected to the internet in your workplace.
Set up the Deputy Web Time Clock on your chosen device.
System Administrators or Location Managers can set up a Deputy Web Time clock on any device in your workplace with a web browser and internet connection.
1. Log in to your Deputy account within your web browser on your chosen device and click on Edit Settings in the Locations tab.
2. Select Timesheets from the left-hand side and click on Manage time clocks.
4. Name your time clock and select which of your Deputy locations this time clock will be set up for. Note: you can select All locations by ticking the check box, however, this will enable your team members to see employees from other locations.
5. Click Add Time Clock.
6. Click Run this time clock.
7. This will bring you to the Deputy Web Time Clock login page showing the local time and date along with a list of team members who work at the Location you have set the Time Clock up for (or all locations if you chose this option during set up)
Get your team using the Deputy Time Clock
Once you have set up the Deputy Time Clock for your location you can have team members who are associated with that location log in to Deputy via their PIN to:
- start and end shifts (both scheduled and unscheduled)
- start and end breaks
- view today's shift details
- answer shift questions
Send your team over to How to use the Deputy Web Time Clock for more information on how to do the above tasks plus what to do if they forget their PIN.

What are the functional limitations of the Deputy Web Time Clock?
Team members using the Deputy Web Time Clock:
- will use a 4-digit PIN to clock on / off and can not use facial recognition to log in to the Time Clock.
- will not have their photos captured when they start or end a shift.
Do Geofence rules apply when using the Deputy Web Time clock?
No. Geofence does not apply to team members who clock in and out via Deputy Web Time Clock.
Can I set up the Deputy Web Time Clock to show my team members from all locations?
Yes! See step 4 when setting up your Web time clock.
Why can't I start a Deputy Web Time Clock?
