Workforce management for scheduling, time, and payroll

Deputy is hardening pay-data permissions while Australian super rules claim release slots.

◆Current state
Deputy's recent work splits between access control and Australian payroll compliance. A rebuilt access-level system in late April introduced custom roles with finer-grained control over what people can see and do, followed in June by permissions that restrict visibility of pay rates and labour costs. July's release adapted Deputy Payroll to PayDay Super, the Australian employer reporting requirement. Scheduling picked up one visible change: the open/empty shift row can be pinned while managers scroll.
◆Where it's heading
Permissions are the throughline — custom roles first, then sensitive pay data placed behind them — which is the shape of a product answering harder questions from larger, multi-site customers. Compliance work anchors Deputy to the Australian market its payroll product serves, and that regulatory calendar will keep taking release capacity. Scheduling itself, the core surface, is getting refinement rather than rethinking. The feed also carries the same release twice under slightly different titles, so apparent cadence runs ahead of actual shipping.
◆Prediction
Expect further permission scoping across cost and pay surfaces, and follow-up work as PayDay Super reporting beds in. The entries show nothing about roadmap outside Australia and scheduling.

    PayDay Super for Deputy Payroll

    Payroll changes to meet PayDay Super, now mandatory for Australian employers. This is regulator-driven work rather than product direction, but it keeps Deputy Payroll usable for the market it was built for.

    Sensitive Data Permissions for Pay Rates

    Pay rates and cost data can now be restricted to specific team members. This is the second half of the April permissions rebuild — the roles existed, and this gives them something consequential to gate.

    Custom Access Levels

    The access level and permissions system was rebuilt to support custom roles with more granular scope. It is the foundation the later pay-data restrictions depend on, and the kind of work that surfaces when customers get big enough to need real separation of duties.

    Freeze Empty/Open Shift Row in Schedule Employee Views

    Schedulers can pin the open/empty shift row so it stays visible while searching for available staff. Small, but it targets the exact moment managers spend most time in the schedule: filling unassigned shifts.
