Frequently Asked Questions
Instant Amendments
Instant amendments are applied immediately, or on a specified effective date. These cover low-risk, administrative changes - such as job title updates or department reassignments - where the change can be accurately processed and recorded without requiring an employee signature.
Examples include:
- Job title updates
- Department reassignments
Automated Amendments
Automated amendments are scheduled and applied at a defined point in time, typically aligned to the next payroll cycle or a set effective date.
All automated amendments require an employee signature before they take effect, and each change is validated and processed against compliance requirements before being applied.
Examples include:
- Salary adjustments aligned to a pay period
- Benefit enrollment updates
Non-Automated Amendments
Non-automated amendments involve a dedicated review by Deel's operations team before any change is made. These are used for changes that require country-specific handling or involve employment terms subject to local regulations - ensuring every detail is assessed carefully before the amendment is applied.
Examples include:
- Changes to working hours in heavily regulated jurisdictions
- Updates to employment terms requiring regulatory review
Frequently Asked Questions
[ACCORDION] Are some amendment types less thorough than others?
No. All amendment types go through accurate processing and compliance checks. The difference is in how and when the change is applied - not in the level of review.
[ACCORDION] Can I cancel an amendment after submitting it?
This depends on the amendment type and its current status. If the amendment hasn't been applied yet, you may be able to withdraw it from the contract page. Contact Deel support or your Customer Success Manager if you need assistance.
