Companies often need to maintain an auditable log of worker information changes that are made to worker profiles. Administrators responsible for HR information want to be able to explain who changed the worker’s record and why these changes occurred.
Deel automatically creates a log entry every time a change is made to a worker's personal, profile, or contractual information. Organizations who enable the “Modification Reason” feature will be able to record more granular information for each update.
The person submitting changes will be required to complete the additional step of providing a reason for the updates they are making. Along with a modification reason, they can add additional information (including web links) to provide more context to the edit.
Deel will capture information like the name of the worker, employee ID, name of the person making the change, date and time stamp, fields edited, changed from and changed to, and more!
The modification reason is shown as an additional column in the change log of the worker's profile. You can access the change log report for the individual or the organizational overall at any time to review and export historic changes.
