As Deel completes the acquisition of Omnipresent, we’re bringing all Omnipresent-origin workers and clients into Deel’s unified global Employer of Record (EOR) infrastructure. This means that we are transitioning your EORs into Deel’s in house owned entities. With this, Deel will become the official employer and manage your EORs' employment end to end. This will allow you to benefit from faster response times, enhanced compliance, and improved service offerings.
At Deel, we’ve built one of the world’s most trusted and scalable EOR solutions — designed to give you and your teams a smoother, more compliant, and more reliable employment experience across every country you operate in.
This guide outlines what to expect during the migration, how your workers will transition into Deel, and what this means for your ongoing operations. Our goal is to ensure clarity, continuity, and a seamless journey for both you and your workforce.

Overview
Deel has acquired Omnipresent and is now migrating all workers who were originally onboarded and employed through Omnipresent into Deel’s global Employer of Record (EOR) infrastructure.
This includes:
- Phase 1: Workers hired through Omni-owned entities, and
- Phase 2: Workers hired through Omnipresent-managed external partners
The migration ensures your workers continue to be employed compliantly while benefiting from Deel’s unified payroll, benefits, and support experience.
Our focus is to make this transition smooth, structured, and disruption-free for both you and your workers.
What This Final Migration Step Means for You
Your workers will continue their day-to-day responsibilities as usual, and their employment will not be interrupted.
They will be re-onboarded onto the Deel platform, which includes reviewing their details and signing a new Deel employment agreement.
This process is explained in detail under the What Happens During the Migration section below.
No disruption to your business
- Employment terms remain (salary, time off, seniority etc) where applicable
- Benefits will be offered as before. There will be an equivalent replacements offered in case that's needed.
- You will continue managing expenses, leave, and workers in Deel
- Invoicing remains unchanged (already issued via Deel), and management fees will be honored
Workers may see a different payment date depending on the Deel entity they are migrated to.
Migration Timeline
To provide superior support to your employees, we will run a phased migration process. Priority is to re-onboard workers who are currently employed by external providers. All other workers will follow.
1. EORs Managed Through External Partners (No Mobility or Entity Restrictions)
This combined group includes workers who:
- Are currently managed through external partners, and
- Can be safely moved to a Deel entity without mobility, tax, or entity blockers
Timeline: Starting Mid–November 2025
These workers will be the first to migrate, as the process is straightforward and has no compliance delays.
2. Omni Entity Employees (Standard EOR Employees)
Workers currently employed via Omnipresent legal entities will only be migrated to Deel entities when there is a clear business or compliance need to do so.
This approach ensures the least amount of disruption to both you and your employees.
For these employees, there will be no change to their current employment setup until migration becomes necessary.
When the need arises to migrate any Omni-entity employee, the transition will be completed on a country-by-country basis, and you will receive communication in advance as their employer before the process begins.
3. EORs Managed Through External Partners - Complex Cases (Handled Separately)
These migrations require additional review and may take longer. They include workers who:
- Have visa, immigration, or mobility requirements, or
- Are located in countries where Deel does not yet have an available entity
Timeline: Starting January–February 2026
What You Need to Do
At this stage, no immediate action is required from you.
When your workers are ready to migrate:
✔ You will receive communication before the migration of your workers begins
No worker is moved without prior notice.
✔ You will receive a quote per worker
This must be reviewed and accepted in the Deel platform before the worker can move.
✔ You do NOT need to sign a new Scope of Work (SOW) at this stage
SOW updates are not required for worker migration.
Once the quote is accepted, the worker onboarding process will begin.
What Happens During the Migration
1. Client Notification & Quote Acceptance
- We inform you when your workers are ready to migrate
- You receive a quote in Deel per worker
- Accepting the quote initiates the onboarding workflow
2. Worker Contract Transfer & Onboarding
After the quote is accepted:
- Your worker will receive an email invitation to complete their Deel onboarding
- Workers must complete onboarding
- During onboarding, they will:
- Supply key information
- Sign their new Deel employment contract
- Our HR Experience team will guide each employee through the onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition
👉 Workers MUST complete onboarding before the transfer can occur.
🟢 There is no break in service, and current employment only ends once Deel onboarding is complete.
3. Finalization
After onboarding:
- The worker becomes legally employed by the appropriate Deel entity
- Payroll, benefits, and support continue through Deel
- The offboarding from their current legal employer will require action and our HRX team will guide each worker through this offboarding process as well
Frequently Asked Questions
[ACCORDION] Why is this migration happening?
To bring all Omnipresent workers onto Deel’s global infrastructure, which enables a unified EOR experience, improved service delivery, and reduced operational complexity. This allows full compliance, and you can benefit from later payroll cut-off, on demand payroll runs, and faster response times.
[ACCORDION] Will my workers need to re-sign their contracts?
Workers will review and sign Deel employment agreements where required by local law. We will guide them through the process.
[ACCORDION] Will this impact payroll or pay dates?
No. Workers will continue to be paid on their current schedule.
[ACCORDION] Will my pricing or fees change?
Fees remain aligned with your current agreement.
If anything changes in the future, your CSM will communicate this clearly and well in advance, ensuring you have full visibility before any adjustments take place.
[ACCORDION] How will benefits be handled?
The Benefits team reviews country-specific plans to ensure continuity. If an Omnipresent benefit needs to be replaced, an equivalent Deel plan will be offered.
[ACCORDION] How will this impact my invoicing?
There is no impact. Invoicing is already issued through Deel, and this will continue exactly as it does today — no changes required on your side. Management fees will be honored as agreed in your Omnipresent MSA. Please note that individual charges (i.e., benefits) may change depending on the employment details and country.
[ACCORDION] What happens with vacation accruals?
Accrued leave will be transitioned appropriately, based on local law and external partner or entity requirements.
[ACCORDION] What about workers with visas or mobility needs?
Mobility-dependent cases will be assessed case by case and handled carefully. We are aiming not to expose risk to workers’ employment/visa or residency status due to this transition. Some of these migrations may take longer.
[ACCORDION] Will my worker lose access to historical documents?
Employees will be requested to submit all relevant compliance documents, which is an easy step to complete on the Deel platform as part of the onboarding process. Documents provided to Omnipresent will remain stored.
[ACCORDION] Do I need to do anything now?
No action is required at this stage. You will receive clear instructions when it’s time to review or approve anything.
[ACCORDION] How will deposits be handled during the migration?
You will not be required to repay a new deposit as part of this migration.
Any existing deposit already paid under your current Omnipresent or external partner contract will be seamlessly migrated to the new Deel employment setup.
There is no action needed from your side. We will ensure that your current deposit automatically transitions to the new Deel contract.
