This guide explains how employees can sign up to Deel and add payment details in a few simple steps!
The account creation and verification flow varies slightly depending on your employment type - EOR, PEO, Global Payroll, or Deel HR only.
But here are the steps that may be necessary to successfully complete the sign-up process
✅ Activate Account
Open the Deel employee invitation email in the inbox where you received it and select Activate Account.
You must use the activation link in the most recent invitation email to onboard as an employee. Do not use a saved, forwarded, partial, or expired link.
Please check all email folders including the spam folder for this message.
If you are already signed in to Deel, return to the invitation email to begin onboarding. The Home dashboard does not provide the invitation-specific Activate Account action.
✅ Get Started
On the Welcome page, click Get Started.
Wait for the page to finish loading, then confirm that the Personal Details form is displayed.
✅ Enter personal details
To complete the sign-up process, complete the personal details required for your profile.
Please note that you won't be able to edit some of your details after submission as it may impact your contract or work authorization.
✅Review permissions
Where available, choose whether to allow your Employer to view your Compliance Documents and/or your payslips.
✅ Upload Compliance Documents
To access required compliance documents, select Profile from the left sidebar on a Deel page such as the Home dashboard.
Expected result: The Profile section expands to reveal its submenu.
In the expanded Profile submenu, select Documents.
You may see options such as My profile, Contracts, and Pay cycles alongside Documents.
Wait for the Documents page to load. Confirm that the page heading is Documents and that the Compliance documents panel is visible.
In the Compliance documents panel, open Required compliance documents if needed. Review each document’s status and complete any required actions.
These required documents are based on local laws and labor regulations. The documents, completion statuses, and submission controls shown depend on your country, worker type, role, organization, and onboarding requirements.
Failure to upload the documents in time will not affect upcoming transactions and payments.
✅ Sign Employment Agreement
The language and details of your employment agreement will depend on the contract type.
Your client may have already uploaded a pre-signed pdf employment agreement; or they may have uploaded an unsigned agreement that you will need to review and sign.
✅ Set up two factor authentication
We strongly recommend setting up your 2FA with an authenticator app.
Authenticator apps are the most secure way to manage account access and prevent the risk of unauthorized users logging into your account.
From your smartphone, you can download on the App Store or Google Play an authenticator app like Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator.
