Some countries have legal provisions that allow an employee to work there under contract while living across the border in a different country. (Ex-Live in France and work in Germany) The options for cross border countries where the employee can reside is based on the laws of the country in which the contract is generated.
Deel has extended an option to enter an employee address in a separate country from the country of the contract. The system validates which countries have cross border employment agreements and limits employee address options to countries where the option is legally available.
- AE (United Arab Emirates) - Permits employees from TR (Turkey)
- CH (Switzerland) - Permits employees from FR (France)
- GB (United Kingdom) - Permits employees from AE (United Arab Emirates)
✅ Step 1 - Select an Contract Country
When creating any new contract, Mass Importing People via CSV, or completing an Entity Transfer, the client will set a country where the contract legally resides.
✅ Step 2 - Select Employee Country of Residence
