This guide explains how to integrate Deel with Employee Navigator, enabling real-time syncing of employee demographic and deduction data from Employee Navigator to Deel.
With this integration, key events like new hires, terminations, or compensation changes can be initiated in Deel and will flow into Employee Navigator.
Before you begin
Before you begin this integration, make sure you are familiar with the following limitations:
- 401(k) plan deductions aren't supported
- The integration doesn't include SSO
Connect to Employee Navigator
Step 1. Request the integration
In the Employee Navigator platform, after logging in as the employer or the benefit broker, navigate to the Integrations section and click the Add Integration button.
- Go to the company profile > Payroll tab > Add Integration.
- When prompted, select Deel as the integration partner and enter the contact details for those who should receive notifications during the setup process.
Once this step is completed, the request will automatically be shared with Deel and a confirmation email will be sent to the employer.
Step 2. Deel connects to Employee Navigator
After receiving the integration request, our team will connect the employerʼs entity with Employee Navigator. Once the configuration is complete, we will approve the integration within Employee Navigatorʼs partner portal.
The Employer will then receive an email to proceed with the next step within 3 days of their request.
Step 3. Demographic audit
Employee Navigator will initiate a demographic audit. A demographic audit is a process that compares key employee details, such as name, address, SSN, pay type, and so on, between the two systems to ensure alignment.
An Employee Navigator representative will reach out to the employer or broker to guide them through resolving any discrepancies found during this step. Once the audit is complete, users can review the results and confirm or correct mismatches.
If changes are made to employee data, an automated email notification may be triggered for security purposes. Employers are encouraged to notify their employees in advance so these messages are not mistaken for unauthorized changes.
Step 4. Deduction audit and final checks
Following the completion of the demographic audit, Employee Navigator will proceed to launch the deduction audi to confirm that benefit deduction codes and amounts are correctly mapped. We will validate this setup to ensure that deduction data can be transmitted accurately and that it appears as expected in the payroll system.
Step 5. Integration goes live
Once both audits are completed and validated, Employee Navigator will officially move the integration to a live state. At this point, demographic and deduction data will begin to sync in real-time between Deel and Employee Navigator.
Employers may begin reviewing synced employee data, enrollments, and deductions directly in both platforms. A member of the Deel Team will reach out with final confirmation or next steps if necessary.
