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.

Source: Deputy plans and features

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.

Source: Deputy plans and features

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.

Source: Deputy plans and features

What needs to be validated for integrations?

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.
