This article explains how Deel HR clients can create their own customized document types for workers to read, sign, or upload.
With Deel HR, you can upload your own document with static information or use our document editor to incorporate dynamic information for each worker like name, address, email, job title, salary, and more!
You can choose to make these documents mandatory or optional, and it is easy to manage worker documentation directly on the Deel platform.

How to create or upload a document
✅ Step 1 – Create document
Select Organization Settings on your home page and click the upper Document Management. Then click Create Document.
New direct employees can still complete their onboarding before they upload your requested custom documents.

✅ Step 2 – Select required worker action
You can require your workers to take the following actions:
- Upload a document to Deel. You can also upload a single pdf file that will be used as a template.
- Acknowledge that they have read the document that you will create on Deel or upload separately.
- Sign the document that you will create on Deel or upload separately. You can sign the document or require only the worker signature.
You can choose if uploading the document is a mandatory or optional action.
If you make it mandatory, it will become required for both active workers and for new workers as part of the onboarding process. Your current workers will be notified to take action.
✅ Step 3 – Select worker type
You can send your documents and request action for all worker types except EOR.
