This weekend, on November 24, Deputy invites the world to celebrate Shift Worker Sunday, a day dedicated to honouring the shift workers who fuel essential services across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Observed annually on the final Sunday of November, Shift Worker Sunday recognises the hourly workers who keep our communities thriving through every life moment — big or small, exciting or challenging — shift after shift.

To mark this occasion, Deputy is rolling out 'Clock Out 2024' for its second year. This in-app experience allows shift workers to share their 2024 shifts and showcase the impact of their work on social media. Each participant will receive a personalised message of gratitude, acknowledging their dedication to the communities they serve.

Deputy’s recent State of Hourly Work Survey highlights the need for showing shift workers greater appreciation: Only 33% of U.S. shift workers, 31% in the U.K., and 35% in Australia feel that the public often acknowledges their work. Employer recognition is slightly higher, with 46% in the U.K. and U.S. and 45% in Australia reporting that their employers frequently show appreciation. Shift Worker Sunday and the 2024 Clock Out app experience aim to bridge this gap by showing gratitude to those who work tirelessly to keep society moving.

“Shift Worker Sunday is a chance to highlight the crucial contributions of shift workers,” said Silvija Martincevic, CEO of Deputy. “These workers keep our communities moving forward every day, often with little public recognition. With our in-app experience - Clock Out 2024, we’re providing shift workers with the opportunity to showcase their impact while also creating a moment of reflection for all of us to appreciate the dedication and sacrifices that go unseen. Our goal is to foster a broader culture of gratitude and respect for those who work tirelessly behind the scenes, and we invite everyone to join us in celebrating these essential contributors.”

Deputy’s Clock Out 2024 experience went live this week to the 1.4 million hourly workers across the Deputy platform.
