What is Deputy?

Deputy is hardening pay-data permissions while Australian super rules claim release slots.

Deputy's recent work splits between access control and Australian payroll compliance. A rebuilt access-level system in late April introduced custom roles with finer-grained control over what people can see and do, followed in June by permissions that restrict visibility of pay rates and labour costs. July's release adapted Deputy Payroll to PayDay Super, the Australian employer reporting requirement. Scheduling picked up one visible change: the open/empty shift row can be pinned while managers scroll.

What is Ever Gauzy?

Ever Gauzy patches registration UX and table polish while a full payroll module lands beneath the release noise.

Ever Gauzy is running a high-frequency patch cycle—multiple releases per day—addressing UI polish, bug fixes, and minor UX improvements. The v111.42.0 registration improvement (prefilling names from Stripe to avoid clobbering collected data) is the week's only user-visible feature in the top releases. Beneath the patch cadence, v111.41.7 and v111.41.6 shipped a full Payroll module and a Leave Management module respectively, which are the real markers of what this cycle is actually building.

Deputy vs Ever Gauzy: editorial side-by-side

Deputy logo0.0

Deputy is hardening pay-data permissions while Australian super rules claim release slots.

◆ Current state

Deputy's recent work splits between access control and Australian payroll compliance. A rebuilt access-level system in late April introduced custom roles with finer-grained control over what people can see and do, followed in June by permissions that restrict visibility of pay rates and labour costs. July's release adapted Deputy Payroll to PayDay Super, the Australian employer reporting requirement. Scheduling picked up one visible change: the open/empty shift row can be pinned while managers scroll.

◆ Where it's heading

Permissions are the throughline — custom roles first, then sensitive pay data placed behind them — which is the shape of a product answering harder questions from larger, multi-site customers. Compliance work anchors Deputy to the Australian market its payroll product serves, and that regulatory calendar will keep taking release capacity. Scheduling itself, the core surface, is getting refinement rather than rethinking. The feed also carries the same release twice under slightly different titles, so apparent cadence runs ahead of actual shipping.

◆ Prediction

Expect further permission scoping across cost and pay surfaces, and follow-up work as PayDay Super reporting beds in. The entries show nothing about roadmap outside Australia and scheduling.

E10.0

Ever Gauzy patches registration UX and table polish while a full payroll module lands beneath the release noise.

◆ Current state

Ever Gauzy is running a high-frequency patch cycle—multiple releases per day—addressing UI polish, bug fixes, and minor UX improvements. The v111.42.0 registration improvement (prefilling names from Stripe to avoid clobbering collected data) is the week's only user-visible feature in the top releases. Beneath the patch cadence, v111.41.7 and v111.41.6 shipped a full Payroll module and a Leave Management module respectively, which are the real markers of what this cycle is actually building.

◆ Where it's heading

Ever Gauzy is building out a complete open-source HRM suite, layering payroll and leave management onto its existing time tracking and project management core. The module-level additions (PayrollRun, PayrollItem, Time Off Policies, Official Holidays, Balance Tracking) suggest a deliberate effort to reach feature parity with enterprise HRM systems like BambooHR or Gusto at the open-source tier.

◆ Prediction

Ever Gauzy will continue module-level feature additions at the same pace—expenses, benefits, and performance appraisals are the natural next targets given the current HRM build-out trajectory.
