This guide will help EOR employees and direct employees better understand their payslips.
Payslips from previous pay periods can be reviewed via the Finance tab on the home page.
The payslip includes all legally required deductions and may include additional deductions for benefits.
Note: If employment is beginning or ending during the current pay cycle, the salary will be prorated according to either days worked or hours worked, depending on contract type.

Payslip Terms & Definitions
Salary Definitions
Regular Base pay: This is the gross base salary amount for the pay cycle. This figure will be prorated for an employee's first payment cycle and upon termination.
Gross adjustments: This includes payroll adjustments for things like a bonus, approved expense, or allowance.
Total gross pay: This is the total gross salary, which will include the monthly base salary plus gross adjustments.
Taxes and deductions: After we calculate the total gross pay, then we deduct the required taxes and statutory deductions. The specific amounts vary depending on the country of employment. We may also make additional deductions if employees receive additional benefits.
Net Payment: The net is what employees take home. The calculation is Gross salary - taxes & payroll deductions = net payment. This is the final amount that will be transferred to the employee's bank account via direct deposit. The net salary may change from one pay period to the next if employees receive any taxable allowances or bonuses.
Deductions
Depending on the country of employment, Deel deducts automatically the required, statutory deductions. This may include things like mandatory contributions to pension plans, health insurance, employment insurance, and more.
We may also make additional deductions if the employee receives additional benefits.
We will also deduct regional and national taxes, where necessary, as required by law. Tax deductions may be calculated as a single deduction or calculated separately, depending on country law.
Hours Worked
For full-time employees being paid an annual salary, the total hours on the payslip do not reflect the actual hours worked in a single pay period but instead are the total working hours in a year divided equally between the 24 pay periods.
For employees on hourly contracts, this number reflects the number of approved work hours.
