Deputy StrawberrySomeone still has to start shift. It does not have to be you
Hand a companion the outcome. It reads the Deputy employees, does the 3-operation version of the job, and stops for your click on anything that changes a record.
Open the employee. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Deputy afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a employee until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what Deputy exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, no reads and 3 writes. In practice that means it can start a shift, create a location and create an employee, and work across the employees, locations and shifts.
The Deputy API stops at Deputy. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Where do the employees come from?
In the tab.
Deputy exposes no read operation to a connected account, so a companion opens Deputy in the session you are already signed into and reads the screens you would.
The employees are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the locations. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Deputy admin becomes a queue you review.
Which employees wait for your approval?
All 3 write operations wait for you.
A companion can start a shift, create a location and create an employee, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the employee, the field and the new value before it lands in Deputy.
Nothing in Deputy is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the employee exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

What does the recurring employees pass look like?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Deputy employees pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the planning, the Deputy employees sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
