Clients can have employees submit their overtime hours only on Deel or require employees to submit all worked hours (regular + overtime) on the Deel platform.

✅ Step 3 – Select the Country of Employment

🔧 Troubleshooting – “Time Tracking” Not Visible

If you cannot locate Time Tracking inside Organization Settings, review the points below before contacting support:

1. UI Relocation or Rename
   Deel periodically updates menu structures. Time Tracking may have been moved under a different card name (e.g., Workforce Management). Scroll through all settings categories (Organization & Security, Payroll, Human Resources, Services) and expand each section.
2. Permissions
   Only users with the correct role (e.g., Organization Admin) can access Time Tracking. If you’re missing it, verify your role with an Org Admin.
3. Feature Enablement
   Time Tracking must be enabled for your organization. Contact your Deel Customer Success Manager if you believe the feature is not yet activated.
4. Clear Cache / Hard Refresh
   Occasionally, cached UI elements hide new features. Perform a hard-refresh (⌘/Ctrl + Shift + R) and try again.

If none of the above resolves the issue, provide support with a screenshot of your Organization Settings page and indicate that Time Tracking is missing.
