Workflows are configured with the client during implementation; exact steps and controls depend on scope.

ADP, QuickBooks, Paychex, and CFS are documented working connections; other system connections require scoping.
The integration matrix lists payroll, HR, POS, and other integrations, with availability varying by plan and product. Verify the connector and data flow required.
What should we compare in Deputy's commercial proposal?
Compare the selected modules and plan, employee or user counting rules, billing cadence, implementation, support, integrations, and any optional services. Public plan pages may not describe an enterprise quote or every regional term.
Can we assume the same workflows are included in every deployment?
No. Map the required hiring, scheduling, attendance, approval, training, payroll, and reporting steps to the exact plan and implementation statement of work. Vendor capability pages describe product scope, not your configured outcome.
How should we assess attendance verification and compliance?
Ask each vendor to demonstrate the configured clock-in controls, exception handling, audit trail, and policy responsibilities. A product feature does not guarantee legal compliance or prevent every form of time fraud.
Confirm the named connector, data fields, sync direction and frequency, error handling, ownership, and any partner or implementation fees. Treat an API or marketplace listing as evidence of an integration path, not proof that a specific workflow is prebuilt.
Key questions operations leaders ask when comparing Hirebase to Deputy.
Why do enterprise operations evaluate Hirebase over Deputy?↓
Buyers can compare customer-controlled Azure deployment and implementation-configured Hirebase workflows with Deputy's published scheduling, timekeeping, plan, and integration options. Data residency, available controls, and workflow fit should be confirmed against the applicable contract and demonstration.
How does Hirebase's non-PEPM pricing compare to Deputy's per-user model?↓
Deputy publishes plan and add-on details, but the applicable price depends on market, plan, and billing terms. Hirebase describes an organization-wide license; request a written scope from both vendors that clarifies included modules, users, implementation, and support.
How does Hirebase ensure European compliance compared to Deputy?↓
Hirebase offers customer-controlled Azure deployment. Deputy hosting, data location, and processing terms should be verified in the agreement. Deployment architecture alone does not establish GDPR or works-council compliance; review the data flows and obligations with counsel and the vendors.
What is the difference between Deputy's photo punch and Hirebase's face verification?↓
Deputy documents photo-based clock-in options. Hirebase offers mobile face liveness checks. Ask both vendors to demonstrate their supported devices, exception handling, retention, and anti-spoofing behavior; no attendance control prevents every instance of time fraud.
What payroll systems does Hirebase connect with?↓
Hirebase has working connections documented for QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, and CFS. Other system connections require scoping. Deputy's published integration catalog includes payroll and other business tools; confirm the exact connector and field mapping for your systems.
