Deputy, the world's leading workforce management platform for hourly work, has announced the U.S. launch of Deputy Payroll, powered by Paycor. This expansion integrates time tracking, compliance workflows, and payroll into a single, streamlined process tailored for America's shift-based workforce, eliminating manual data transfers and reducing administrative friction.

The launch addresses longstanding pain points in payroll processing for shift-based industries. Manual exports, reformatting, and duplicate uploads often consume hours of management time, introduce errors, and heighten compliance risks. Deputy Payroll removes these steps by automating data flow from approved timesheets to payroll, preserving full visibility and control for managers while delivering accuracy and efficiency.
Seamless Integration Reduces Administrative Burden With Deputy Payroll, businesses gain a unified view from shift scheduling to paycheck issuance. Timesheet data transfers directly into Paycor without manual intervention, minimizing discrepancies and freeing managers to focus on team development and operations rather than payroll administration. For multi-location operators handling weekly payroll, the time savings accumulate significantly over the year.
Pilot Feedback Highlights Immediate Impact Businesses in the multi-month pilot reported substantial improvements. Payroll processing times dropped by up to 50%, administrative errors decreased, and operations became more consistent across locations. Participants emphasized the simplicity of the "send to Paycor" action and the resulting operational discipline.
"The reduction in extra steps to get approved timesheets into payroll is the biggest benefit," said Marianne Lipari, Finance Manager at Exit 11 Coffee. "The new process is smoother and easier."
"You finish your timesheets in Deputy, press 'send to Paycor,' and everything's right there. It reduced our payroll processing time by about half. Deputy is so good at scheduling, time, and attendance. Paycor is so good at payroll. Now you get the best of both worlds," said Darin Krum, owner of Eastham Ace Hardware.
"This is a significant time savings for us," said Kristina Stillwaugh of Mineral Creek Ace Hardware, noting approximately 45 minutes to an hour saved per pay period.
Strategic Partnership Expands Market Reach The collaboration leverages Paycor's established network of small and mid-sized employers, providing Deputy with a high-efficiency distribution channel into thousands of U.S. shift-based businesses. For Paycor, adding Deputy's category-leading workforce management strengthens its ecosystem. Together, the platforms deliver connected solutions that support both operational efficiency and financial accuracy for growing organizations.
"This marks a significant milestone in Deputy's evolution as a platform for shift-based businesses," said Silvija Martincevic, CEO of Deputy. "By unifying workforce management and payroll in a single workflow, we're reducing friction and improving accuracy. Just as importantly, this collaboration expands our reach through Paycor's nationwide employer network, giving Deputy scalable distribution into thousands of U.S. businesses. As complexity grows for shift-based employers, they need connected systems that anchor both operational and financial processes. Together, we're building that infrastructure."
Deputy Payroll, enabled by Paycor, is now available to Deputy's U.S. customers. For more information, visit deputy.com/payroll-software.
