Deputy, the global people platform purpose-built for shift work, officially launched Deputy Payroll in Australia today — a seamless experience designed to meet the complex needs of shift-based businesses.

From hiring and scheduling to timesheets and payroll, Deputy now offers a complete solution for shift-based businesses — helping them make smarter decisions, improve profitability, and stay on top of compliance, all in one integrated platform.

“With the launch of Deputy Payroll, we’re closing the loop on what shift-based businesses have been asking for — one powerful end-to-end people platform that scales as you grow”, said Silvija Martincevic, CEO of Deputy. “This isn’t payroll retrofitted for shift work — it's payroll that has been designed around the unique needs of Australian shift-based businesses. We've built a platform that not only simplifies compliance and reduces errors, but helps businesses operate more profitably whilst delivering employees a more transparent, mobile-first payroll experience.”

Designed with input from payroll officers, business owners, HR managers, and accountants, the platform gives businesses everything they need to confidently process payroll in just a few clicks. It works seamlessly with Deputy’s industry-leading scheduling capabilities. Deputy Payroll enables businesses to easily configure complex pay rules and entitlements with the platform’s new Pay Rate Builder feature, ensuring compliance obligations are navigated and met effectively.

“We built Deputy Payroll from the ground up for the realities of shift-based work — not for generic office jobs, but for the complexity of late nights, weekend loadings, and multi-location operations,” said Deepesh Banerji, Chief Product Officer at Deputy. “It’s fully embedded within Deputy’s platform — with real-time award interpretation, seamless timesheet integration, and zero double-handling. Whether you’re an experienced payroll manager or a busy business owner doing it all, it’s designed to make payroll easy, fast, compliant, and stress-free – it just works”.

For shift-based businesses, Deputy Payroll unlocks:

• One system, one login – eliminating the integration errors and admin waste that come from using multiple platforms
• Multi-entity payroll – easily manage separate business units (ABNs) or venues under a single account
• Award interpretation + Pay Rate Builder – stay Fair Work compliant without manual guesswork, configurable to unique business needs
• Built-for-scale infrastructure – flexible enough to support businesses from single cafés to multi-site operators
• Efficiency gains – customers report up to 80% faster payroll processing and significantly reduced costs per pay cycle

This launch means Deputy now seamlessly connects the entire people journey transforming it from a workforce management solution into the global people platform for shift-based businesses.
