Remove a worker type from your onboarding hub

You can now remove Global Payroll or Payroll Employment of Record (PEO) from your onboarding hub. This is helpful if you accidentally added a payroll product during signup or if you no longer need to set up payroll at this time. If you're not using these products, you won't see the remove option.

Why would you remove a worker type?

Here are some common reasons:

  • You accidentally selected a payroll worker type during signup and don't plan to use it right now
  • You set up onboarding for a worker type you're no longer using
  • You want to clean up your onboarding hub and focus on other worker types
  • You activated payroll worker types but want to delay setup until later

When you remove a product, it disappears from your onboarding hub. You can always add it back later if you change your mind.

 

How to remove a worker type from Onboarding

  1. Go to your Deel platform and navigate to the onboarding hub (also called "Get started").
  2. Look for the Global Payroll or PEO card. You'll see a Remove button on the card.

  1. Click the "Remove" button on the worker type card.

    A confirmation modal will pop up. The message will depend on whether you've started onboarding: 

  • If you haven't started onboarding, the modal will say: "You can always add it back later." A text field labeled "Tell us why (optional)" will appear.
  • If you've started onboarding, the modal will say: "You can always add it back later, but you'll need to go through onboarding again." A text field labeled "Tell us why (optional)" will appear.

  1. (Optional) If you'd like, type a reason in the "Tell us why?" field. This helps us understand your needs better. Click "Remove" to confirm.

    The worker type card immediately disappears from your onboarding hub.
    Your onboarding hub refreshes with one fewer worker type to set up.

Warning
Account Basics Cannot Be Removed
You'll notice that some items in your onboarding hub (like "Account Basics") don't have a Remove button. These are required to get started with Deel, so they can't be removed. You only see Remove buttons on optional worker types like Global Payroll and PEO.

What happens after you remove a worker type?

✓ The worker type card is removed from your onboarding hub immediately
✓ Your onboarding progress for that worker type is cleared
✓ You can still manage your account and use Deel normally
✓ Your other worker types remain in onboarding unchanged
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I accidentally remove a worker type?
No problem! You can add it back at any time by going to "Manage worker types" in your onboarding hub.
Will removing a worker type affect my Deel account or data?
Removing a worker type from onboarding won't affect your Deel account or any data you've already set up. It only hides the onboarding flow for that worker type.
If I remove a worker type, can I still use it later?
Yes. Removing it from onboarding doesn't disable the worker type. You can manage and activate the worker type from your account settings at any time. Removing it from onboarding is just about the setup flow, not the worker type itself.
What does "You'll need to go through onboarding again" mean?
If you've already started onboarding and then remove the worker type, your progress is cleared. If you re-add it later, you'll start the onboarding flow from the beginning again.
Is the "Tell us why?" field required?
No, it's optional. But if you share your reason, it helps us understand what you need and improve Deel for you.
Do all worker types require a confirmation when removing?
No. Payroll products (Global Payroll and PEO) require a confirmation modal to prevent accidental removal. Other worker types like HRIS can be removed directly without confirmation.
Can you add worker types back later?
Yes! You can always re-add Global Payroll or PEO to your onboarding hub.
When you re-add a worker type, it starts from the beginning. Your previous progress is not restored, but you only need to answer the questions relevant to your setup.
