Connected Stack

Deputy, joined to your payroll, till and accounts

The systems Deputy users most often ask us to sync with, payroll, POS, HR and reporting. Click any platform to see its dedicated integration page.

What an integration actually is

You see the roster now and the wage cost later

Rosters, timesheets and leave sit in one system, and what they cost sits in another. Until those two agree, labour cost is something you find out after the pay run rather than something you manage during the week.

What you already run

What we build

One integration layer

Runs on a schedule, maps your codes to theirs, handles the records that exist in both places, and keeps a log of every sync so a mismatch can be traced instead of argued about.

What you get

  • Approved hours reach payroll and accounts without a re-key

  • Leave and entitlements consistent in every system that needs them
What We Build

Rosters, timesheets and pay that line up

Timesheet-to-payroll sync, POS and labour cost, award interpretation, leave management and workforce dashboards. Our custom deputy integration services cover each one. Pick a tab to see how each deputy to xero integration or POS link actually runs.

Deputy timesheets to payroll

Approved timesheets flow from Deputy to MYOB, Xero, Employment Hero or KeyPay. Hours mapped to the correct pay categories. Overtime, breaks and allowances included.

No CSV exports, no reformatting, no re-entry. Pay runs start from clean data.

Sales and labour cost integration

Deputy shift data combined with Square, Lightspeed or Oolio POS sales. Revenue per labour hour calculated per venue. Labour cost percentage tracked daily.

The connection between what you earn and what you spend on staff, visible without a spreadsheet.

Award interpretation and compliance

Shift data from Deputy validated against award rules before payroll. Overtime thresholds applied. Penalty rates for weekends and public holidays calculated. Shift allowances added.

Reduces underpayment risk. Fair Work compliance automated rather than assumed.

Leave management integration

Leave requests and approvals in Deputy synced with payroll leave balances. Annual leave, personal leave, long service leave, all aligned between systems.

Staff see accurate balances. Managers approve based on real entitlements. EOFY reconciliation eliminated.

Workforce dashboards

Deputy data combined with sales, payroll and financial data in Power BI. Revenue per labour hour. Roster variance. Overtime trends. Staff cost by location and department.

The workforce analytics that help you roster smarter and spot problems before they become expensive.

Case Study

Job-to-invoice automation that cut billing delay from days to minutes

A Perth services firm with five field crews was losing days between job sign-off and the accounting team raising the invoice. We connected the field-management tool to their accounting platform so invoices generate the moment a job is approved, with line items, GST and customer details all pre-mapped.

Deputy Integration, one seamless process

Your Deputy Integration, handled by the founder from start to end.

HELLO PEOPLE designs, builds and looks after AI, software, app and data solutions for Australian businesses, with senior expertise on every project and a scope agreed before work starts. For an integration, that means every record lands where it should and both systems agree.

Since 2007, HELLO PEOPLE has delivered more than 100 projects from Perth for small and medium businesses across Australia: custom software and apps, system integrations, data migrations, reporting and dashboards, and AI that works inside the systems a business already runs.

I lead every engagement myself. I trained in accounting before moving into IT, hold accounting and IT professional qualifications and an MBA, and bring more than 20 years of experience across sales, service delivery, inventory and compliance. I am also a PhD candidate in AI at Curtin University, researching retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), so the technology is always judged by what it does for the business.

  • An old-fashioned service

    Small and boutique. The person who scopes your integration is the person who builds it, and the same person watches the first live syncs.

  • Quick responses

    No ticket queue and no account manager in between. You hear back within one business day, usually sooner.

  • A long-term partner

    The integration is the start, not the end. When you need the next system, integration or report, you call the same person, who already knows your business.

How It Works

How a Deputy integration is scoped, built and tested

Six steps, the same shape every time. Discovery, pay-rule mapping, build against the Deputy API, full pay-cycle testing, go-live aligned with your pay cycle, then ongoing support as your workforce and awards change.

  1. Discovery & Deputy Audit

    We review your Deputy configuration: locations, departments, pay rules, break policies. Plus the payroll, POS and accounting systems that need connecting.

  2. Pay Rule Mapping

    Deputy pay categories mapped to payroll pay items. Award conditions configured. Overtime thresholds, penalty rates and allowances documented and tested.

  3. Build

    Integration built on the Deputy API. OAuth 2.0 authentication, webhook notifications for timesheet approvals, and error handling for missed clocks.

  4. Testing

    Full pay cycle testing with real timesheet data. Overtime, penalty rates, split shifts, leave taken during pay period. All validated against expected payroll outcomes.

  5. Go-Live

    Launch aligned with a pay cycle. Parallel run with manual verification for the first period. Monitoring in place.

  6. Ongoing Support

    New locations, award changes, Deputy updates. We keep integrations running as your workforce changes.

How it runs today

Deputy has the hours, costing them is another job

  • Timesheets are approved in one system and typed into another
  • Labour cost against a job is known after the pay run, not during
  • Leave balances differ depending on where you look
  • Award interpretation is checked by hand every cycle

After

Hours, cost and pay stay in step

  • Approved hours flow straight through to pay and to the job
  • Labour cost against jobs visible during the week
  • One set of leave balances
  • Exceptions raised for a person, the rest handled automatically

Scoped and quoted before you commit. You own the code and the credentials at the end of it.

FAQs

What managers ask about Deputy integration

What do deputy integration services australia usually cover?

Connecting Deputy to payroll, POS, accounting and reporting. Approved timesheets flow to Xero, MYOB, Employment Hero or KeyPay with award rates applied, POS sales combine with shift data for revenue-per-labour-hour, and leave balances stay reconciled. Perth-based, Australia-wide delivery.

Can you build a deputy to xero integration and MYOB payroll integration?

Yes. Approved Deputy timesheets push to Xero Payroll or MYOB with hours, rates, pay categories, overtime, penalty rates and allowances mapped correctly. Multi-location cost-centre allocation included where you need it.

How much do custom deputy integration services cost?

It depends on the systems involved, the data volume and the exception cases. You get a fixed-price quote after a 15-minute scoping call. No hourly billing, no scope creep once we start.

Can you combine Deputy data with POS sales for a proper deputy payroll integration and reporting stack?

Yes. Deputy shifts combined with Square, Lightspeed or Oolio POS data gives you revenue per labour hour per venue. It is one of the most requested dashboards for hospitality groups and multi-site operators.

Does the deputy api integration handle award interpretation?

Yes. Shift data is validated against award rules before payroll. Overtime, penalty rates, split-shift allowances and public-holiday rates apply automatically, and exceptions surface in a pre-payroll queue for managers to review.

How long does it take?

Timesheet-to-payroll runs 3 to 5 weeks. With POS integration and labour-cost dashboards, typically 6 to 10 weeks. We phase it so payroll goes live first, then reporting stacks on top.

Can you sync leave balances between Deputy and payroll?

Yes. Leave requests in Deputy sync with payroll entitlements. Approvals update both systems and balances reconcile automatically, so staff see accurate numbers and EOFY reconciliation stops being a manual job.

Are you a proper deputy integration company for multi-site Australian operators?

Yes. We are Perth-based, AU-native on award and Fair Work rules, and we build for multi-venue, multi-entity setups across hospitality, retail, healthcare and trades. Every build gets a parallel-run against a real pay cycle before cutover.

Do you work as a Deputy integration consultant or developer?

Both. As a Deputy integration consultant we start with discovery and pay-rule mapping: your awards, your sites and which payroll and point of sale systems are involved. As a Deputy integration developer we then build it against the Deputy API, test it across a full pay cycle, go live in line with your pay cycle and support it as your workforce and awards change.
