Adding an employee in Deputy is a quite common use case for the API. You can easily sync new employees from own system into Deputy, ready to have shifts and timesheets associated with them. For the addition of new employees to Deputy, we recommend that you use the management endpoints, known as supervise. The process is detailed below
