How to Assign Projects to Workers

✅ Step 1 – Open Organisation Settings and select the Projects card

1. From the Deel home page, click the gear icon in the top-right corner to open Organisation Settings.
2. In the settings landing page, locate the Projects card and click View.

Troubleshooting
• I don’t see the Projects card – Your workspace may not have the Projects feature enabled, or your role may not have sufficient permissions. Contact your Deel admin to request access.
• In older UI layouts the Projects option appeared in the left-hand sidebar. If it is not there, use the card grid shown above.

✅ Step 2 – Create a new project

1. Click Create project.
2. Enter the project name, description, and any internal codes you use for reporting.
3. Choose the Project assignment type.
   • For EOR employees, Direct Employee Payroll, Direct Employee HRIS and PEO employees, select Reporting only so the project is used purely for timesheet reporting.
4. Click Save.

✅ Step 3 – Assign workers to the project

1. On the project page, click Assign workers.
2. Select individual workers, or choose a Worker group to bulk-assign.
3. Review the details and click Submit.

Once created, the project will be available in the shift-logging dropdown for all assigned workers.
