Connect Deputy to Payroll, HR
and the Systems Your Team Already Uses
Deputy handles scheduling and time tracking well. But getting that data into payroll, accounting and HR systems? That is where it falls short.
We build integrations that connect Deputy to your payroll, POS, HRIS and accounting systems for hospitality, retail and service businesses across Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Australia. Award interpretation, compliance automation and real-time labour analytics without the manual handling.

Deputy handles scheduling and time capture well. But complex Australian awards, multi-system integrations and real-time compliance? That is where custom integration fills the gaps. View all integrations
Remove Manual Payroll Handling
Connect Deputy to Xero, MYOB, KeyPay or Employment Hero so approved timesheets flow straight to payroll without exports or re-entry.
Roster Against Real Sales Data
Link Deputy with Square, Lightspeed or your POS so scheduling decisions are based on actual revenue, not guesswork.
Reduce Award Compliance Risk
Build custom award rules that catch penalties, allowances and minimum engagements before data reaches payroll.
Keep Employee Data in Sync
Integrate Deputy with Employment Hero, ELMO or your HR system so new starters and changes flow automatically.
Get Better Labour Visibility
Build dashboards combining Deputy data with sales, payroll and operations for cross-system workforce insights.
Allocate Costs by Location
Push labour costs to accounting with proper cost centre mapping so you see true profitability by site.
Why Businesses Integrate Deputy with Payroll, POS and HR Systems
Deputy integration for hospitality, retail, healthcare and service businesses across Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Australia. Eliminate manual data handling and compliance gaps.
Stop Re-Keying Timesheet Data
Timesheets flow from Deputy to payroll without manual exports, CSV uploads or data entry.
Catch Award Errors Before Payroll
Custom rules handle complex penalties and allowances that Deputy's built-in interpretation misses.
See Labour Costs as Shifts Happen
Real-time visibility into wage costs, not spreadsheets days after the fact.
One Source of Truth for Employees
HRIS integration means employee data stays consistent across HR, scheduling and payroll.
Schedule Based on Actual Sales
POS integration lets you roster against real revenue patterns instead of guessing.
See True Location Profitability
Labour costs allocated correctly to cost centres so multi-site businesses know what each location actually costs.
Signs Your Deputy Workflow Needs Integration
These problems cost Australian businesses hours every pay period. Custom Deputy integrations eliminate them.
Re-Keying Timesheets Into Payroll
Someone exports Deputy timesheets, then manually enters hours into Xero, MYOB or KeyPay. Error-prone, time-consuming, and completely avoidable.
Award Interpretation Issues
Deputy calculates basic hours but misses penalties, allowances, minimum engagements and break requirements specific to your industry award.
Duplicate Employee Records
Staff exist in Deputy, payroll, HRIS and POS separately. Changes made in one system don't flow to others. Onboarding takes four times as long.
No Real-Time Labour Costs
You know sales figures instantly but labour costs are a mystery until payroll runs. No way to compare wage costs against revenue in real time.
Delayed Payroll Processing
Waiting for timesheet exports, manual approval workflows, chasing missing data. Payroll runs late because data is trapped in Deputy.
Compliance Audit Concerns
When Fair Work asks for timesheet records, you're scrambling across multiple systems. No single source of truth for hours worked versus hours paid.
Common Deputy Integrations We Build

ELMO, Employment Hero, BambooHR and other HRIS platforms synchronised with Deputy for consistent employee data.
Deputy Integration Services for Australian Businesses
Payroll System Integration
We connect Deputy to payroll systems such as Xero, MYOB, KeyPay, Employment Hero or ADP so approved timesheets move into payroll without manual export or re-entry.
Data that syncs: Approved timesheet hours, overtime, penalties, allowances, leave taken, cost centre allocations, and employee pay rates. Everything your payroll needs arrives automatically after timesheet approval.
Who this suits: Hospitality, retail, healthcare and service businesses where payroll teams are spending too much time checking hours, penalties and allowances each pay cycle.
The result: Faster payroll processing, fewer manual errors, and less time re-keying data that already exists in Deputy.
Fixed Price Deputy Integrations
We scope Deputy projects based on connected systems, award complexity, and location count. You'll know exactly what you're investing before development begins.
Workflow Audit
We map your current timesheet-to-payroll workflow, identify manual steps and error points, and document integration requirements.
Modular Components
Payroll integration, award interpretation, POS sync, HRIS connection - each is priced separately so you can prioritise impact.
Payroll First
Most clients start with payroll integration - immediate time savings, immediate error reduction. POS and HRIS follow as you see value.
From Manual Timesheets to Automated Workflow
A practical process that eliminates manual data handling without disrupting payroll cycles.
Workflow Analysis
We document how timesheets currently move from Deputy to payroll - every export, manual check, and re-key. We identify where errors creep in, what award rules get missed, and which integrations would eliminate the most manual work.
Award & Mapping Design
We map Deputy pay conditions to payroll system codes, design custom award interpretation rules for your specific workforce, and document how data will flow between systems. You approve before we build.
Integration Development
We build the connections between Deputy and your other systems. Timesheet data flows automatically, award rules are applied consistently, and everything syncs without manual handling. Under the hood: secure OAuth2 authentication, webhook subscriptions, and full audit trails.
Parallel Testing
We run the integration in parallel with your existing process for 2-3 pay periods. Outputs are compared - any discrepancies investigated and resolved. You validate accuracy before switching over.
Cutover & Training
With parallel testing validated, we switch to automated workflow. Your team learns the new approval process - Deputy timesheets approved, payroll receives data automatically, manual steps eliminated.
Ongoing Monitoring
Post-launch monitoring catches sync failures and edge cases. Award changes are updated as Fair Work announcements come through. Your integration evolves as your business grows and workforce requirements change.
Deputy Integration Questions
A straightforward Deputy to Xero or MYOB integration typically takes 3-4 weeks. Complex setups involving multiple awards, POS integration and custom approval workflows can extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a timeline during the scoping phase before any commitment.
Yes. This is often the main reason businesses need custom integration rather than Deputy's built-in options. We build award logic for hospitality, retail, healthcare, transport and professional services awards including penalties, allowances, minimum engagements, and break requirements.
We integrate Deputy with Xero Payroll, MYOB AccountRight, MYOB Business, KeyPay, Employment Hero Payroll, Sage, and most Australian payroll platforms with API access. If your payroll system has an API, we can likely connect it.
Yes. Many of our Deputy clients operate across multiple locations in different states with different award conditions. The integration handles location-specific award rules, cost centre allocation, and centralised payroll processing.
We update the award interpretation logic when Fair Work announces changes. This is included in ongoing support agreements, or can be handled as a change request for project-based clients.
Yes. We integrate Deputy with Square, Lightspeed, Kounta, and other POS systems. Sales data flows into labour cost calculations so you can see wage percentage against revenue in real time, not after payroll runs.
We run the integration in parallel with your existing manual process for 2-3 pay periods. Both outputs are compared, discrepancies investigated and resolved. You only switch over once accuracy is validated.
We offer support agreements covering monitoring, issue resolution, and award updates. Most Deputy integration clients choose ongoing support given the compliance requirements. Ad-hoc support is also available.
